From Wole Ayodele in Jalingo


The National and State Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Jalingo has set aside the election of the Speaker, Taraba State House of Assembly, Hon. Abel Peter Diah.

Delivering judgement on Wednesday in the petition filed by the All Progressive Congress (APC ) candidate for Mbamga state constituency, Mr Emmanuel Bongo, the tribunal ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC ) to withdraw the certificate of return issued to the Speaker pending the conclusion of elections in eight polling units in the constituency.
The APC candidate had filed a petition before the tribunal challenging the victory of Hon Diah on the grounds that elections in 9 polling units of the constituency did not conform substantially with the provisions of the Electoral Act.

In the ruling, which was read by Justice A.M Ali on behalf of the three man panel of justices, the tribunal held that elections in 8 polling units out of the total 48 polling units did not conform substantially with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010 as amended and therefore ordered INEC to conduct fresh election in the 8 polling units within 90 days.

The tribunal further held that the petitioner failed to proof his case in regard to the 9th polling unit in contention due to his failure to call oral witnesses as he did in regards to the other 8 polling units that were cancelled.

The House of Representatives yesterday requested the Federal Government to immediately declare a state of emergency on the scourge of unemployment in the country.

It also resolved to take steps in amending the Immigration Act to provide stiffer punishment for violations of immigration laws with the view to protecting the Nigerian worker.

These resolutions by the House followed a motion titled, “call for a state of emergency and legislative intervention in the unemployment crisis in Nigeria” sponsored by the House leader, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila and 78 others.

While pointing out that the unemployment crisis in Nigeria has reached an alarming rate and is of serious concern, Gbajabiamila stated that various reports have put the percentage of the unemployed in Nigeria at 24 per cent.

“Various reports and the glaring evidence of joblessness in all states of the federation indicate that there has been no time in the history of the country that unemployment has been as serious as it is at the moment.

“The desire of the government, and indeed all Nigerians to tackle the problems of corruption, insecurity, poverty and crime, which breed unemployment or result from it as there is an inextricable nexus between unemployment, corruption, crime, poverty and insecurity,” he stated.

In his contribution, the House Minority Leader, Hon. Leo Ogor and other PDP members were in support of creating more jobs.

Ogor pointed that there was no need to declare state of emergency in the unemployment crisis, but called on the President to fulfill his promises to the jobless Nigerian people in that respect.
“In as much as I am in support of job creation, there should be no state of emergency on unemployment. The present government should carry out its promises it made during the presidential campaign as regards employment,” Ogor asserted.

na una sabi

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has
urged the chairman and members of the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission, RMAFC, to immediately slash the salaries and allowances of the President, Governors, National Assembly members, as well as other political office holders by at least fifty percent to make the offices less attractive and check the excesses that go with the fat remuneration for such positions.
The Governor stated this on Wednesday during a breakfast meeting with the chairman of RMFC Engr. Elias Mbam, and other members of the commission at the Government House, Owerri.
He argued that with the downward review of salaries and allowances of political office holders, such positions and offices would become less attractive leading to the ultimate reduction of the tension that always go with the contest or scramble for such offices.

Okorocha further stated that the drastic reduction of the take-home pay of political office holders would equally, to a large extent reduce poverty among the populace and also reduce crimes that are mostly borne out of the envy occasioned by these bloated salaries and allowances of political office holders.

He maintained that by making the salaries and allowances of political office holders less attractive, only those keen in rendering genuine service to the people would go for such public offices and no more those who are coming for the privileges or benefits of the offices.

In the words of the Governor, “when the salaries and allowances of public office holders whether elected or appointed are reviewed downward, at least by fifty percent or even more than that, it would make the offices less attractive and with that, only those who want these offices for service would go for them.

“If one knows that at the end of the month your total pay as governor or national Assembly member would be less than five hundred thousand Naira, most people would stay away. And only those with ideas and the genuine spirit of service would aspire for such offices.”

To Okorocha, “the huge amount spent on recurrent expenses should be directed to infrastructure, while the paraphernalia of offices should be drastically reduced. Genuine people who are ready to sacrifice for their people should be encouraged for leadership positions while those coming for the gains of the offices should be discouraged.”
He regretted that Imo state has never benefitted from Agricultural and ecological funds being given to states despite the state’s agricultural potentials and ecological challenges, and called for consideration.

In his remarks, Chairman of the commission, Engr. Mbam said they had chosen the state for their retreat because of the good stories being associated with it in terms of security, infrastructure, tourism, hospitality and so on, adding that they were satisfied with what they have seen so far in the state in terms of her development and growth.
