Contrary to claims by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that they did not receive any Notice of Appeal from Governor Okezie Ikpeazu or an injunction stopping the Commission from issuing a Certificate of Return to Dr. Uche Ugah, the Attorney General of Abia State, Mr. Umeh Kalu, has said that INEC lied in its claims. A proof service has shown that the Commission did indeed receive the two important documents and it was signed for by Saleh N. Ibrahim, Senior Clerical Officer at the Legal Services Department of the Commission's Headquarters, Abuja, who stamped the Notice of Appeal and Injunction with the Commission's official stamp by 12.50pm on Wednesday, June 29, 2016. "It's unfortunate that INEC said that it was not served. But the truth is that they were served. I have a proof to that. Saleh N. Ibrahim, Senior Clerical Officer at the Legal Services Department of the Commission's Headquarters, Abuja, who stamped the Notice of Appeal and Injunction with the Commission's official stamp by 12.50pm on Wednesday, June 29, 2016. "With the foregoing, it is now clear that the Commission had no reason or cause to proceed with their dangerous action of issuing a Certificate of Return to Dr. Uche Ogah when it was clearly in receipt of a Notice of Appeal and Stay of Execution expressly forbidding them from taking any further action on the Judgment of Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court pending the determination of the Appeal in the case. "It is rather surprising that the Commission could lend itself to be used for an act capable of destabilizing a State in Nigeria with the attendant consequences for anarchy and breakdown of law and order." Kalu said. The Abia State Government wishes to reiterate for the umpteenth time that Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu remains the Governor of Abia State irrespective of whatever order was issued by the Federal High Court and the consequential actions of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) pending the full exhaustion of all judicial avenues of seeking redress. Abia State is a peaceful State consisting of law-abiding citizens but their patience should not be stretched and their civility taken for granted. The citizens of Abia State will resist any attempt to subvert their will which they freely expressed at the polls and which was affirmed by the Supreme Court.

Section 141 of 2014 nullified the replication of Amechi/Omehia case. So long as Oga did not participate in all the stages of the April 2015 Governorship Election,he cannot be sworn in. That declaration by Justice Okon is null and void and of no effect. Ndewo!

ogbukara:
Uche ogah is the right man for abia state he is a good man he cares for the poor people when I visited his village in uturu abia state I saw many good things he did to poor people he builds hospital take good care of elderly people gives scholarship to many people in fact this is the type of people we need in Government uche ogah helps many people he is God sent to abia state

Like Rochas was to Imo State b4 he turn to Tiger.
Like Orji Uzo Kalu was to Abia State.

Mr man, you beter go and sit down ok!

IF I WERE UCHE OGAR ...
Mr. Uche Samspson Ogar is an interesting personality. I actually used to see him as a young man with a great political future. He is young and rich. During my days in the downstream oil industry, I came in contact with him quite often because his company, Masters Energy, is one of the top indigenous players in the industry. When the NBA Aba Branch gave him a merit award some few years ago, I read his citation at the event, after which he gave me his card and asked me to see him in Lagos. Somehow, I never did. Uche Ogar is a member of the PDP. Indeed, he was close to the last government in Abia State as his younger brother, Dr. Ogar was the Commissioner for Health in the immediate past government. He was well aware of the decision of the party in the state to zone their gubernatorial ticket to Abia South in line with the Abia Charter of Equity which seeks to ensure that every senatorial district gets an equal opportunity to produce the governor of the state. As a prelude to the last elections in Abia State, three people from Abia North Zone declared interest to run for governor under the PDP. They were - 1. General Azubuike Ihejirika, the former Army Chief of Staff. He is from Isuikwuato. 2. Mr. Uche Ogar from the University town of Uturu, Isuikwuato. 3. Mr. Alex Otti from Arochukwu. However, after the party made their intentions on zoning very clear, General Ihejirika saw reason and ended his quest. Alex Otti played smart and suddenly remembered that though he is from Arochukwu, he was born at Isiala Ngwa. He quickly wrote a letter to the PDP requesting for a "transfer" of his membership from Arochukwu to Isiala Ngwa. In taking that step, Otti accepted the fact that indeed, the power shift to Ngwa land made sense. When the PDP insisted that the power shift was not just to Ukwa Ngwa alone but to Abia South, Otti left the party and went to APGA where he eventually contested and lost the elections. But Uche Ogar insisted on contesting the party primaries. It was his right. The party did not stop him. Indeed, he was the only person from Abia North that contested the PDP primaries. It was an open contest and he lost to Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu with a commanding margin. Uche Ogar didn't challenge the elections. He didn't also leave the party. Dr. Ikpeazu went ahead to fly the party's flag in the general elections, crisscrossed the entire state during campaigns and eventually won the elections. I naturally expected Uche Ogar to form a critical alliance with the Governor and support the government. I expected him to help the industrialization of the state by moving some strategic units of his business to Abia State and by so doing, show the people that indeed, he was interested in the growth of the state. I expected him to have a strategic and well thought out political plan to work with the governor with an eye for tomorrow. Afterall, he is a young man in his mid 40s. He doesn't have to be governor now. He could still be governor tomorrow. But No. Uche Ogar still wanted to be governor and he wanted it now. Not by the popular will of the people of Abia but surreptitiously through some funny legal technicality. Uche Ogar forgot the counsel of our elders that freshly prepared hot yam porridge, though tasty, can cause stomach upset. And so, he quietly filed a suit challenging the eligibility of the governor on the spurious allegation of having presented false tax papers. Having come second in the primaries, he fantasized over the possibility of getting the governor disqualified and he, taking over. Uche Ogar, like everyone of us, knows that Dr. Ikpeazu paid his taxes. Indeed, the governor was not in any position to decide whether or not to pay tax. Uche Ogar knew that Dr. Ikpeazu was an employee of the Abia State Government and like every other employee, had no discretion on tax. He also knew, like the rest of us, that Dr. Ikpeazu does not prepare tax papers. He simply applied to the Revenue Board who issued the documents. Ogar, saw himself as another Amaechi who didn't contest the general elections but was declared governor by the Supreme Court. But he forgot that unlike him, Amaechi won the PDP primaries in Rivers State but was strangely denied the chance to contest the main elections. Amaechi had a good moral and legal pedestal. Uche Ogar does not. He lost the primaries. It is curious that a man who failed to secure the nomination of his party now wants to become governor from the back door. By seeking to use legal technicalities to remove a Governor who was duly elected by the people of Abia State and whose election was confirmed by the highest court of the land, Uche Ogar may have taken the worst political step of his life. By seeking to oust from office, the first ever Governor of Ukwa Ngwa extraction, Uche Ogar has declared war against not just the people of Abia South Senatorial District in particular but the entire people of Ukwa Ngwa land, in general. Make no mistakes about it, the people of Ukwa Ngwa land have a deep emotional attachment to this Governor. We see him as the personification of our decades of struggle for our political emancipation. Therefore, any person who plans to remove him from office naturally incurs the wrath of our people. If Dr. Ikpeazu lost the general elections, it would be a different ball game. But to seek to remove him from office using the Uche Ogar style of legal technicalities is nothing short of a declaration of political war. That's how our people see it. Not even Alex Otti who was a candidate in the general elections and who went to court to challenge the elections raised this spurious allegation of tax. Everyone knew that Ikpeazu was Head of ASEPA in Aba before the elections. Was he working for free? Was he not getting salaries? Will you pay a man salary without deducting his tax? By seeking to remove Governor Ikpeazu, a man who has made clear his intention to rework Abia State and set it on the path of economic growth and infrastructural development, Uche Ogar may have committed political suicide. The generality of the people of Abia State see this move by Ogar as a deliberate ploy to distract the attention of a performing governor...and that is exactly what it is. Uche Ogar seeks to reap where he did not sow. That is against the natural law of harvest. You cannot sow ukazi and reap nturukpa. No! I don't know if Uche Ogar thought deeply about this his move. I don't know what his political plans for the future are. I don't know if he intends to run for any state wide office tomorrow and if he intends in the future to ask for the votes of the people of Ukwa Ngwa land, the largest single voting bloc in Abia State and a people that control 9 out of the 17 local governments in the state. By Uche Ogar's strange political calculation, the people of Abia South, nay, Ukwa Ngwa land are not good enough to be governor, ehh kwa? Uche Ogar, obu l'ezi? Uche Ogar, Dede Nne, Ikpatala nku la eghe anyim. Ma Chineke. Do you know that if the Amaechi scenario were to play out again and Uche Ogar becomes Governor, God forbid, what it means is that both the Governor and the Deputy Governor will come from Abia North. This is because like Amaechi, Uche Ogar will have to work with the current Deputy Governor. Tufia kwa! If there is one thing I am sure of, it is that the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the highest temple of Justice in this country will never order that a man who lost his party nomination and never contested the general elections to be declared governor. It doesn't make sense. Like I said, Amaechi had won the primaries but was stopped from contesting. Uche Ogar lost. How can he be Governor? I also know that the Almighty God is a God of justice. Anyways, we will always remember Uche Ogar as the man who sought to break our hearts politically. If I were Uche Ogar, I wouldn't have taken this step. But I am not Uche Ogar.

He is One of those who worked against the development of Abia & the S East.
He was a disapointment to Abia & Igbos.
"IGBO QUEST FOR PRESIDENT IS IDIOTIC" That is the only Legacy he left.

Yes

OYAY:
This is why we still have a long way to go in this country,this man within himself knows he is guilty of the offense is been charged for but due to lack of virtue and morals decided to appeal to sentiment by referring an offense of forgery(paying three years tax in one day) and cheating government(tax evasion) as mere distraction: and some people are hailing him is the lowest ebb we can go in human dignity quotient.

Dr Ikpeazu has no business with how the documents was made or the entries in it & it is laughable to allege as some persons do that he "forged" his tax documents. BIR made statements to say they are responsible for the document & its contents. If Dr. Ikpeazu had prepared the docs himself using a computer or printing press or forged the signature on an otherwise genuine receipt, that would be a different case. When I handled the first case on this issue filed by BARR. F.N. Nwosu at the FHC, Abuja which I got struck out & which is on similar grounds as the one decided today instituted by UCHE Ogah, the grounds for the action were as follows (BRIEFLY because it is impossible to fully discuss the facts on this sort of forum):
1. That the serial numbers on the tax receipts were dodgy because the three years were written in the same document one after the other; this is however to no issue. Dr. Ikpeazu was a PAYEE; receipts for Payees are only issued when requested & so the years demanded will be written in the same booklet one after the other & so the question of how separate years were written in the same booklet does not arise;
2. Every tax year by convention ALL OVER THE WORLD ends on 31st December. If you ask for your tax receipt for 2015 today, it will be dated 31st Dec. 2015; if you asked to be assessed for 2016 & you pay it today in June, it will still be dated 31st December 2016 & that does not amount to forgery or false statement.
3. That 31st December of a particular year happens to fall on a Saturday or Sunday which is a non-working day does not make the tax receipt a forgery, etc
4. It was non-issues and others such as the following that was litigated. When we get a copy of the judgement we will address it in full.
5. For now it is enough to draw the attention of the public to the provisions allegedly breached by Dr. Ikpeazu which is S. 31(5) of the Electoral Act: "Any person who has reasonable grounds to believe that any information GIVEN BY A CANDIDATE in the affidavit or any document submitted by that candidate is false may file a suit....." Clearly for this provision to be breached, the Candidate must have given the information alleged to be false. Dr. Ikpeazu gave none of the information contained in the tax receipts or certificate. ALL HE DID was write to BIR to issue him his tax papers. BIR on their own collected the info, did their assessment, issued the tax papers & signed it.

Must it be from Black to White?
Well black has no Fake.

IKPEAZU REMAINS ABIA GOVERNOR - ABARIBE

Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe on Monday reiterated the incontestable fact of Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu is the indisputable Governor of Abia State irrespective of the ruling of the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The Senator who represents Abia South Senatorial District in the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, asked Abians particularly the people of Abia South not to panic but to remain calm and confident.

Abaribe in a terse statement in Abuja said he has confidence in the Judiciary adding that in the fullness of time justice for Ikpeazu would prevail as both the constitution and the electoral act do not make provisions for what was declared in the judgement.

"I am happy that our judicial system has given us a window of opportunity to exhaustively explore our legal right to its logical conclusion. In that case we are right on course to right the wrong in the court above. It is a process that has commenced already.

But Dr Ikpeazu is a very good man & he is workin in Abia......i wonder why these people will not allow him to continue the good work he is doing there.

Press Release

Don't panic, I remain your governor, Ikpeazu tells Abians

The Governor of Abia State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu has called on Abians not to panic, but remain clam over the judgment of Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court Abuja delivered today in favor of Mr. Uche Oga against him, in the case of alleged falsification of tax receipts.

Governor Ikpeazu, who said that he has faith in the judiciary and rule of law, added that he will appeal the ruling as he has instructed his lawyers to file an appeal immediately against the said judgment.

The Governor noted as an appointee of the Abia State Government from 2011 to 2014, when he served as the General Manager, Abia State Passengers Integrated Manifest and Safety Scheme (ASPIMSS), and first Deputy General Manager, Abia State Environmental Protection Agency (ASEPA) Aba and Environs respectively, before his resignation in October 2014 to contest the Governorship election in the state, that within the period his taxes were deducted at source, and when he had need of his tax clearance in 2014, he applied to the Abia State Board of Internal Revenue, and was duly issued with his tax receipts for the period in question.

He maintained that he remains the Governor of the state according to law and will await the final determination of the matter by the appellate courts.

[quote author=EMMAUGOH post=46949190]My brothers from the east celebrating this write up are indeed ignorant and are those that can never learn in their Lives.
I have heard many things about ndi Igbo greediness but when I look back into Nigeria history all I see is people from Northern Nigeria and from other tribes looting Nigeria dry but will be pointing the other hand at Ndi Igbo. Since 1967 to date how many igbo leaders has emerged leaders in this country..None, but where is Nigeria Today.. The propaganda is really working, If we are to blame the woes of Nigeria in PdP 16yrs of leadership, what about other years when it was the most righteous people in Nigeria was in Power.

Let me ask u a question? How many people from South east has been indicted in Dansuki saga, then calculate how many from North, West and South. But every hand is pointing at Ndi-igbo as those that are sponsoring corruption in this country.

Abacha looted this country dry in his regime, how many northerners has come to blame Abacha. Even ur president said Abacha never stole yet his looted funds are been return from year to year.

I won't tell u guys to stop, what I want to say is this. Buhari keeping Nnamdi Kanu in prison is a big shame to the people in South east, A very Big shame to us. We assume ourselves as our problem whereas our problem is controlling us .

When agitation for Biafra started last year, what event caused it. Was it not the illegal arrest of Nnamdi kanu that made many igbo youth to stage protest at streets and when his release was far off, it now resulted from state to state protest. But if u ask some people here they would tell u is because of Goodluck jonathan did not win election, who the hell is Goodluck when we all know he did nothing for ndi igbo.

I would tell u guys again, the nothern propaganda is really working. Tommorow armies might attack igbo people and call them rebels. Majority of those gotten by the propaganda would fully believe because they believe Buhari is a saint and never need to be questi Igbos Are Criminals But Full List

Some times i wonder How a Professor can be an Errand boy to an Illitrate cattle Rearer.

Some times i wonder.....How can a Professor be an Errand boy to an Illitrate cattle Rearer?

KissCODE:
OP This your post would have meant something if your president agreed with you.
But Buhari does not see neither does he believe you.
He has been going around the world telling them all Nigerians are corrupt.
So dont blame Cameron he only added “fantastically“ to what your darling & loving president told them.

But that does not change any of the things i listed above.

Does it?

temptnow:
This is serious copy and paste.

Noted.......Next please!

All over the world Nigerians are setting the pace and becoming the standard by which others measure themselves . In the US, Nigerians are the most educated immigrant community. Type it into Google and you'll see it. Not one of the most educated, the most educated . 60% of Nigerians in the US have college degrees. This is far above the American national average of 30%. Nigerians in US are one of the highest earners, typically earning 25% more than the median US income of $53k . In Ivy League schools in Europe and America, Nigerians routinely outperform their peers from other nations . A Nigerian family, The Imafidon family, have officially been named the smartest family in the UK. The designer of the famous car, Chevrolet Volt, Jelani Aliyu, is a super talented Nigerian from Sokoto State . The wealthiest Black man and woman on earth are Nigerians, Aliko Dangote and Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija . South Africa couldn't have ended apartheid & achieved Black rule if not for the leadership role Nigeria played . Of the 3 Presidents who ruled South Africa after apartheid, two of them once lived in Nigeria under asylum . Both Nelson Mandela (60s) and Thabo Mbeki (70s) lived in Nigeria before becoming President of South Africa. We gave financial support, human support, boycotted an Olympics and our politicians, musicians and activists campaigned relentlessly. Nigeria spent over $3 Billion and lost hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both Liberia and Sierra Leone that the world ignored because they have no oil. When there was a coup in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2003, Nigeria restored the elected President back to power . Before there were street lights in European cities, ancient Benin kingdom had street lights fueled by palm oil . 500 years ago, Benin casted metal alloys to create magnificent art including the world famous Queen Ida Mask . Amina was a warrior queen who ruled Zaria Emirate in Kaduna state, Northwestern Nigeria 400 years ago in 1610 . We gave monetary gifts to Ireland during our oil boom and built a statue for France free of charge. The first television station in Africa was NTA Ibadan (1960) long before Ireland has their RTE station. Wherever you look in this great country, Nigeria, heroes abound both now and in our recent and ancient past. If all you do is listen to mainstream Western media, you'll not get the full picture of your Nigerian heritage . Do not listen to any leader who says Nigerians are criminals, no matter who he is, or his height and position . We're not a nation of scammers, drugs & corruption, but a people with a verifiable track record of greatness. What CNN, BBC, Aljezeera and western media will not tell you about Nigerians. On the 7th May, 2016 at Howard University in Washington D.C history was made. Out of 96 graduating Doctor of Pharmacy candidates, 43 of them were Nigerians and out of 27 awards given, 16 went to Nigerians. They will only tell you how Nigerians are scammers and cheats, how Nigerians are into drugs overseas et al. If you don't blow your trumpet, no one will blow it for you. CAMERON DID NOT KNOW ABOUT NIGERIA. All over the world Nigerians are setting the pace and becoming the standard by which others measure themselves . In the US, Nigerians are the most educated immigrant community. Type it into Google and you'll see it. Not one of the most educated, the most educated . 60% of Nigerians in the US have college degrees. This is far above the American national average of 30%. Nigerians in US are one of the highest earners, typically earning 25% more than the median US income of $53k . In Ivy League schools in Europe and America, Nigerians routinely outperform their peers from other nations . A Nigerian family, The Imafidon family, have officially been named the smartest family in the UK. The designer of the famous car, Chevrolet Volt, Jelani Aliyu, is a super talented Nigerian from Sokoto State . The wealthiest Black man and woman on earth are Nigerians, Aliko Dangote and Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija . South Africa couldn't have ended apartheid & achieved Black rule if not for the leadership role Nigeria played . Of the 3 Presidents who ruled South Africa after apartheid, two of them once lived in Nigeria under asylum . Both Nelson Mandela (60s) and Thabo Mbeki (70s) lived in Nigeria before becoming President of South Africa. We gave financial support, human support, boycotted an Olympics and our politicians, musicians and activists campaigned relentlessly. Nigeria spent over $3 Billion and lost hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both Liberia and Sierra Leone that the world ignored because they have no oil. When there was a coup in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2003, Nigeria restored the elected President back to power . Before there were street lights in European cities, ancient Benin kingdom had street lights fueled by palm oil . 500 years ago, Benin casted metal alloys to create magnificent art including the world famous Queen Ida Mask . Amina was a warrior queen who ruled Zaria Emirate in Kaduna state, Northwestern Nigeria 400 years ago in 1610 . We gave monetary gifts to Ireland during our oil boom and built a statue for France free of charge. The first television station in Africa was NTA Ibadan (1960) long before Ireland has their RTE station. Wherever you look in this great country, Nigeria, heroes abound both now and in our recent and ancient past. If all you do is listen to mainstream Western media, you'll not get the full picture of your Nigerian heritage .

b]Ogoni Traditional Rulers Kick as Army Arrests Paramount Ruler, Gbaranee
[/b]

Soldiers from the 2 Brigade Nigerian Army, Port Harcourt, stationed in Bori, Rivers State, have arrested the paramount ruler of Yeghe community in Ogoniland, Barinaadaa Gbaranee.

Yeghe community, in Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State has been a hot spot of army operations since they invaded the community in February in search of ex-agitator, Solomon Ndigbara, whom the military has since declared wanted.

Not less than 20 persons were allegedly killed in the military operation even though the army said nobody was killed.

The Assistant Director of Army Public Relations, 2 Brigade Nigerian Army, Port Harcourt, Capt. Eli Lazarus, confirmed the arrest of the Ogoni traditional ruler.

He however said the army “invited”Gbaranee for questioning concerning an investigation it was carrying out.

In a text message on Tuesday, Lazarus said, “The paramount ruler of Yeghe community, HRH Barinadaa Gbaranee, was invited by 2 Brigade Nigerian Army in connection with an on-going investigation that relates to security within his domain. I assure you that he will return to his community as soon as investigation is completed.”

In the meantime, the Council of Ogoni Traditional Rulers (COTRA) has condemned Gbaraanee’s “abduction” and called for his immediate release.

The Chairman of COTRA, King Suanu Baridam, in a statement issued yesterday said, “We consider the abduction of Chief T.D. Gbaranee a desecration of the highly respected traditional institution and strongly reject the humiliation of an Ogoni traditional stool by the Army.

The Nigeria Army Desecrate The Royal Throne In Ogoni Land.

The Nigerian Army says it has arrested Ogoni Paramount Ruler Barinadaa TD Gbaranee because of "insecurity in his domain..." "This is how they treat Niger Delta chiefs because of Niger Delta militants but Boko Haram Emirs, Sultans are walking around freely in the North where their terrorists arewrecking havoc! What a country! What a government!

If say na Buhari they use this Phone now......some people would start to call him Mumu.

POOR NIGERIANS ARE NOW SUBSIDIZING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT So this morning I had a flight to catch. My cab man would not turn up on time as agreed, he usually does not disappoint. I tried reaching him on phone after the last conversation we had and he was not reachable according to airtel. I had a few minutes left to catch my flight. To take another cab from my house will get me stock in traffic at a popular junction. The only and best choice was budding a tricycle (Keke Napep) to escape the busy junction first before getting another cab. To avoid "oga I no get CHANGE" or "You for tell me say you carry big money before you enter" , I asked my wife to gather any available sub denominations of the secretly devalued naira she had for me. The usual fair before the fuel hike was N50 per last mile. With the hike, I concluded it would now be N100 for sure per last mile so I got a lot of N100 notes along and budded one. THE SHOCKER I got to my first mile and desired stop and without asking how much, I gave the tricycle operator a N100 note and began heading away. "Oga wait collect your change" he said. Not sure he was referring to me so I asked if he was referring to me and he said "yes, your money na N50". I was shocked. Just how does he balance up with the hike in petrol price? I went further and began a conversation with him. I inquired how he was balancing up with the hike in fuel price and he gave me another shocker: "Oga how we go do na? Everybody dey complain especially market women so we come get our union meeting decide to help people by collecting the old price. Even the market women self na our wives and sisters so we no they lose anything after all" You see, these are the truest and most patriotic Nigerians. Poor and innocent Nigerians now subsidize the Nigerian government. They are teaching our leaders what patriotism means. They decided to ameliorate the sufferings and hardship by shortchanging themselves - subsidizing the Federal Government. Something President Buhari could not do inspite of the overwhelming support he had even while running for president at 73 years old in a country where a great percentage are youths below 40 years. The president you voted would not sacrifice the number of presidential jets in his fleet nor cut down on wanton foreign trips abroad to cub the drowning economy. His wife would launch a book on beauty tips and amass millions in donations for her project instead of a project to feed or cloth the poor. This is the president whose campaign mantra was seeded in alleviating the condition of the poor. There is no more to say than the fact that you have been fooled, a Hollywood actor now occupies the seat of power and every single day in Nigeria is a scene in an imaginary movie that will never be premiered. WHAT CAN WE DO?

Trouble in the Senate Yesterday as Senator Ita
Enang Reveal that Northerners own 80% of oil
blocks.

Supporters of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB)
pushed their case further yesterday at the
Senate, with startling facts on the sector.
Senator Ita Enang (Akwa Ibom North East)
described the opposition to the 10 per cent
host community fund by mostly northern
senators as “misplaced”.
Enang, who is also the Chairman, Senate
Committee on Rules and Business, said that
those opposed to the fund should know that
over 83 per cent of oil blocks are owned by
northerners.
But he did not give the number of oil blocks
Nigeria has.
Senator David Mark, who seemed to have been
shocked by what Enang said, said the Akwa
Ibom lawmaker should not be distracted (some
senators were grumbling) because he was
making an important point.Mark asked Enang
whether he could substantiate his claim.
Enang promptly pulled out a document from
his folder and reeled out oil blocs and their
owners.
He said he did not intend to divide the country
but to guide those who wanted to contribute to
the debate to be truly informed.
He listed northerners who own oil blocks to
include Alhaji Mai Deribe, Borno State and
owner of Cavendish Petroleum, which operates
OML 110 with an average of about N4billion
monthly.
He also listed Seplat/Platform Petroleum,
operators of the ASUOKPU/UMUTU Marginal
Field with Mallam (Prince) Sanusi Lamido, Kano
, as a major shareholder and director.
South Atlantic Petroleum Limited (SAPETRO)
established by General T. Y. Danjuma, Taraba
State , who is also chairman of Eni Nigeria
Limited.
SAPETRO partnered with Total Upstream
Nigeria Limited (TUPNI) and Brasoil Oil
Services Company Nigeria Limited to become
operators of the OPL 246.
AMNI International Petroleum and
Development Company is owned by Alhaji
(Colonel) Sani Bello of Kontangora , Niger
State.
“They are operators of OML 112 and OML
117,” he said.
He said that a former Petroleum Minister and
former OPEC Chairman, Rilwanu Lukman,
another northerner manages AMNI oil blocks
“with very key interest in the NNPC/Vitol
trading deal.”
He said that Oriental Energy Resources
Limited, a company owned by Alhaji Indimi,
runs three oil blocks – OML 115, the Oldwok
field and the Ebok field.
He said that Alhaji Aminu Dantata’s Express
Petroleum and Gas Limited, operates OML 108.
Enang said that OML 113 allocated to Yinka
Folawiyo Petroleum Limited is owned by Alhaji
W.I. Folawiyo. Alhaji Saleh Mohammed Gambo,
North East Petroleum Limited, is the holder of
the OPL 215 Licence.
North East Petroleum was awarded blocs OPL
276 and OPL 283 and closing thereupon a Joint
Venture Agreement with Centrica Resources
Nigeria Limited and CCC Oil and Gas.
He said that INTEL is owned by former Vice
President Atiku, the late Gen. Shehu Musa
Yar’Adua and Ado Bayero. It has substantial
stakes in Nigeria ’s oil exploration industry
both in Nigeria and Sao Tome and Principe .
He said that Mike Adenuga’s Conoil is the
oldest indigenous oil exploration company with
six blocks. OPL 291 was awarded to Starcrest
Energy Nigeria Limited, owned by Emeka Offor,
which was sold to Addax Petroleum.
Enang urged the Senate to cause the immediate
revocation of all oil blocks licences and their
redistribution, in accordance with the Federal
Character Principle.
He said: “My submission is that when you look
at the distribution of those who own oil blocks
and the amount of money that comes from the
different oil blocks to the Federation Account
and you see the owners of these oil blocks, you
will agree with me that there is inequity in the
distribution of oil blocks.
“The oil is produced in the Niger Delta yet it is
the people of the Northeast and the Northwest
and a little of the Northcentral, almost nothing
of the Southwest and the Southeast, that are
the persons owning and controlling these oil
blocks.
“Almost nothing for the Southsouth, Niger
Delta oil producing areas.
“They are quarreling with the area that takes
just 13 per cent when you are producing the
entire 100 per cent, you give some to the
Federation Account and they give only 13 per
cent of what you give and, of course, it is
whatever you declared that you have
produced. It is actually produced by you.
“I did not want to introduce something that is
divisive.
“It is not intended to divide the country, it is
intended to say ‘look, let us be realistic’.
“What some of the oil wells and the owners of
the oil wells produce in a month and take as
profit is sometimes more than what two or
three states receive from the Federation
Account.”
Enang noted that “when a group of people are
richer than a state and then it is produced by
you, then there is so much opposition that
even the people who suffer the effect of the
oil production should not be give host
communities’ fund; and we have explained that
the host communities fund is not only for the
oil producing; it is for any of the communities
that hosts oil infrastructure, which includes oil
pipelines, refineries, gas pipelines and anything
that is capable of causing danger.”
“If we had the host communities fund, the
danger that we have been having in Arepo in
Ogun State, the area would have benefited
from the host communities fund.”
Enag said that other areas, such as Kaduna and
some other states, will benefit from it.
He went on: “If you are producing and
declaring only what you like and only the 10
per cent now being provided for the host
communities and the 13 per cent which is
after deducting everything, that cannot be in
the interest of the country.
“What I am asking now is that oil blocs in the
whole country should be revoked and
redistributed according to Federal Character
Principle.
“We are not saying that we in the Southsouth
should have all or the Southeast should have
all or the Southwest should have all.
“In fact, if there are 18 oil blocs or 36 oil
blocks, we don’t mind that you give us at least
four, Northeast four, Southeast four,
Northwest four.
“At least, let there be equity, but then there
should be the principle of who owns it and
then you give us more.
“But at this time, we don’t even have it. The 13
per cent is what we are even suffering to
sustain.”
SenatorOlufemi Lanlehin (Oyo South) praised
the maturity of Senators in considering the
bill.
He urged the Senate to look at the “absolute
and sweeping powers” granted the President in
Section 191 of the bill.
The Section, he said, gives the President
absolute and unqualified powers to grant
petroleum licences to whoever he pleases.
Lanlehin prayed the Senate to use the
opportunity of the bill to design a template
that would grow the economy.
Senator Adegbenga Kaka (Ogun East) said he
was supporting the bill with mixed feelings.
He noted that the trend of the debate seemed
to indicate that senators were more concerned
about how to share the cake and not how to
bake it.
Kaka said the power granted the minister of
petroleum in the bill should be reconsidered
“so that we don’t give too much power to the
minister.”
The lawmaker who insisted that the bill should
be finetuned, said certain percentage of
earnings should be set aside to fix electricity,
agriculture and other infrastructure.
Senator Mohammed Goje (Gombe Central) said
before the debate, he was completely against
the bill.
He said the trend of the debate showed that
the Senate was poised to do justice to the bill
by removing offensive sections.
To him, it seems a consensus is being built
around certain sections of the bill.
He noted that most contributors agreed that
the power of the minister should be reduced,
such that the minister will just be like any
other minister.
Goje said: “We should not create a super
minister.”
He said that definite provision should be made
for frontier exploration, especially adequate
funding.
He opposed 10 per cent host community fund.
Senator Barnabas Gemade (Benue North East)
described the bill as very important and long
overdue.
Gemade said an adage says: “Wherever you find
oil, corruption creeps in and wherever you find
diamond war emerges.”
He said the adage had been proved to be true.
Gemade said the bill contained good and bad
provisions. He listed the good sections to
include development of the gas sector,
increase in promotion of local content and the
unbundling of the Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC).
The bad sections, he said, include the
minister’s economic power.
On the host community fund, Gemade said
efforts should be made to ensure that it does
not degenerate to very poor management of
resources as it is, according to him, in the
Niger Delta Development Commission, 13 per
cent derivation and others.
On the frontier exploration, he said more
effort should be geared towards discovering oil
in other places.
Senator Akin Odunsi ( Ogun West) described
the bill as the most important legislation
before the National Assembly.
Odunsi noted that the bill becomes even more
important when it is recognised that the
country runs a mono economy based on oil.
The lawmaker cautioned against undue
sentiment in the consideration of the bill.
He agreed that the bill was not perfect but
posited that it could be fine-tuned to engender
development.
Senator Abdulahi Adamu (Nasarawa West) said
he was giving the bill “a reserved support”.
Adamu expressed worry about the absence of
transparency and accountability in the oil
sector.
He said the bill appears to contradict the
Constitution (as amended), especially when it is
recognised that oil and gas as well as other
minerals are in the Exclusive List and under
the control of the Federal Government.
The lawmaker cautioned about the unbundling
of the NNPC in order not to put up the
corporation for outright purchase by wealthy
Nigerians.
On the host community fund, Adamu said the
provision would create the fourth tier of
government.
To Senator Gbenga Ashafa (Lagos East), the bill
will be counter productive in its present form.
He demanded the definition of host
community.
Ashafa said pipelines burst at times not
because of vandalisation but because of the
integrity of the pipes.
Senator Ayogu Eze said his support for the bill
stemmed from the realization that the oil
sector should be reformed.
Eze highlighted issues of details in the bill,
which, he said, should be addressed at the
committee and public hearing levels.
It was obvious that most northern Senators
were not comfortable with what Enang said.
