Barely five weeks after granting a waiver to ex-Vice-President Atiku Abubakar to rejoin the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), some party bigwigs have launched the campaign to remove the party’s National Chairman, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo.

It was also gathered that some PDP governors and leaders are supporting the plan to remove Nwodo because of the waiver and some inputs made by the party leadership on the Electoral Act 2010 which might jeopardize the election of Jonathan in 2011.

The PDP National Chairman, sources told The Nation, may cut short his trip to the United States to take charge and defend his actions.

Also, there were strong signals that ex-President Ibrahim Babangida; ex-Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, and some party stalwarts may resist any plot to remove Nwodo under any guise.

The ex-Vice-President was granted a waiver on September 15, 2010 during the 53rd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the PDP in Abuja.

The meeting was presided over by the Vice-President, Arc. Namadi Sambo.

Investigation by The Nation revealed that there has been disquiet between some loyalists of the President and Nwodo over the waiver following security reports on how Atiku has been collaborating with other presidential aspirants from the North to frustrate the presidential ambition of Jonathan.

Atiku alongside ex-President Ibrahim Babangida, ex-National Security Adviser, Gen. Aliyu Gusau; and Governor Bukola Saraki have been working together to produce a consensus candidate that will stop Jonathan from securing the presidential ticket of the PDP, The Nation learnt yesterday.

According to findings, some loyalists of the President are allegedly angry that Nwodo did not consult him before granting Atiku the waiver.

It was learnt that some loyalists of the President have confided in some principal officers of the National Assembly that Atiku secured the waiver without the “express permission” of the President, who is the leader of the party.

A reliable source claimed that a top official in the Presidency alluded to the controversy over waiver in the party while underscoring the fact that Atiku and some presidential aspirants were behind the rejection of amendments to the 2010 Electoral Act by the Senate.

The top source also regaled some principal officers of the National Assembly who were at the Villa with the drama that accompanied the 53rd NEC meeting of the PDP.

He added: “The top source claimed that upon sighting waiver for Atiku and others on the agenda of the NEC meeting, Nwodo was asked three times if he had the approval of the President to list the item.

“He said the Chairman answered in the positive. On the strength of his assurance, the issue was put before the NEC which overwhelmingly approved waiver for Atiku and numerous other politicians who were listed for waiver consideration.

“ President Jonathan, upon his return from a visit to flooded areas in Sokoto, denied that he gave approval to Nwodo to allow a waiver for Atiku.”

But another source close to Nwodo said the PDP National Chairman did not act unilaterally on waiver for Atiku.

He said: “Nwodo pointedly asked for the opinion of the president on Atiku’s application for waiver and the president said he had “no problem” with Atiku being granted a waiver.

It was learnt that the President said he “did not want any distraction of Atiku seeking legal challenge of any attempt to stop him from the election.”

Another source said: “All is not well at all because some loyalists of the president are suspicious of infiltration of PDP leadership by some opponents of Jonathan.

“Some are claiming that there is a secret agenda being executed by some party leaders. They are accusing Nwodo of ‘wavering loyalty’.

“The handling of the issue of congresses in eight states, especially Enugu State , is another weak point against Nwodo. The President’s grip on the South-East is threatened ahead of the presidential primaries. Jonathan loyalists felt their principal should not tolerate such tardiness from Nwodo.

Findings also revealed that some party leaders are uncomfortable with Nwodo over his alleged inputs into the Electoral Act which had posed extra challenge to Jonathan’s camp in winning the forthcoming presidential primaries.

A top party leader said: “Some loyalists of the President felt the party leadership did not guide it well on proposals for the First Amendment to the Electoral Act.

“The exclusion of official delegates from congress and presidential primaries is a costly mistake in the 2010 Electoral Act. This oversight is said to have the input of the PDP leadership.

“The lapse will overstretch the President as he has to take-off from ground zero to seek the support of delegates to the National Convention.

President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign fund was boosted on Friday, when the purse swelled to N500m.The President however insists that individual donors should not contribute more than N1m, in strict compliance with the fund raising provision in the Electoral Act 2010. The chief launcher, Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu and his friends doled out N250million to the campaign fund, while 26 state governors gave N1m each.

Revealing the president’s insistence on ensuring full compliance with the provision of the electoral law, Alhaji Rabiu said in his discussion with the president about the fund raising, he (the president) insisted that it must be according to the electoral law.

He therefore advised the business mogul gathered at the dinner to comply as they open their wallets to support the cause.

The fund raising dinner organised by the Jonathan/Sambo Presidential Campaign Organisation to raise funds for the execution of the president’s campaign for the 2011 presidential election, was attended by the country’s rich.

Other dignitaries were the visiting Kenyan Vice President, Mr Kulonzo Musyoka, Senate President, Senator David Mark, House of Reps Speaker, Hon. Dimeji Bankole, members of the Federal Executive Council, (FEC) and the National Assembly, party chieftains, captains of industry, business moguls, members of the diplomatic community, and a host of eminent Nigerians from all walks of life.

Donors to the fund including the chief launcher, Alhaji Rabiu, state governors, business moguls, Mike Adenuga, Femi Otedola, Jimoh Ibrahim – and a host of others, stuck to the provisions of the Electoral Act by not exceeding N1million in their personal donations.

The occasion, which held at the International Conference Centre, Abuja, also witnessed the formal launch of an on-line and SMS donation initiative that will allow Nigerians contribute to the campaign using the mobile GSM and internet platforms.

President Jonathan who also spoke at the occasion said the 2011 elections should not be seen as being about his candidature alone, but about the future of the country as the Goodluck/Sambo project is a mass movement in which all Nigerians have a stake and equal pledges.

He said the movement is laced with the “triumph of nationalism, patriotism and the will to transform the country.”

He therefore counseled Nigerians to move beyond the limitations of sectional and parochial interests in order to build a solid foundation for the progress and development of the country.

He said the vision of his campaign was rooted in the common desire to deliver a government that will partner with the private sector to complement government’s investments in critical sectors of the economy and fast-track the delivery of quality living conditions for all Nigerians.

The President promised that his administration will not let down the confidence Nigerians reposed in it, adding that his regime remains committed to consolidating on achievements, and the on-going programmes to transform the country.

The President also paid glowing tributes to his late boss and predecessor, President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, conveying deep emotions when he pointed out that the last time he attended such an occasion was with the late President in early 2007, as his running mate. He called for a minute of silence in honour of the late President.

The President said “In this movement, I saw the triumph of nationalism, patriotism and the Will to transform our economy and our collective security and wellbeing.

“I see in this movement a clear sign that as a people, we have broken free from sectional and diversionary sentiments and set our mind on a common future. We have a programme of action for the government that will work with Nigerians to transform our country. The process that corporate Nigeria will serve as a fulcrum for the change of this country.

“Our movement will deliver a government that will bring proactive peace and security private sector led electric power development and coordinated Niger Delta development. We will transform this country by improving the quality of education that will meet the requirement for the 21st century that shall be anchored on science technology innovations and re-vitalization of our culture and values.

“We are delivering on our promise towards electoral reforms, adequate power supply, and peace in the Niger Delta. On these and other reforms, we will not relent,” the President said.

Vice President Namandi Sambo in his remark said the Goodluck/Sambo project is not an accident; noting that it is a journey to move Nigeria forward.

He also commended those supporting their aspiration.

Earlier, Director- General of the Jonathan/Sambo Campaign Organisation, Alhaji Dalhatu Tafida, expressed confidence in the viability of the Jonathan/Sambo ticket, stating that the organisation believes in continuity and stability of the country. Chairman of the occasion, Chief Obafoluke Otudeko, in his remarks, said the mission to support President Jonathan was based on his conviction of the President’s commitment to the rule of law, while describing any investment towards the Jonathan/Sambo project as “a worthy cause that will guarantee the future and progress of the country”.

Nigeria may not be at war, but last Tuesday’s shocking discovery of rocket launchers, grenades and other explosives at the Apapa Port in Lagos obviously rankled the country’s security chiefs and other concerned citizens.
The heinous consignment shipped into the country in 13 containers was marked building equipment.

On Thursday, Israel added a fresh twist to the saga as it claimed the weapons, which landed in the country on July 10 this year from India, belonged to the Palestinian militant group, Hamas, and that they originated from Iran and were headed for the Gaza Strip.

Israel, however, did not provide evidence to support its claim, with its officials citing “security concerns.” But while security agencies in Nigeria battle to unravel the importers of the deadly weapons, security experts have revealed that they had the capacity to wipe out large areas in minutes because of the distance they can travel when deployed to cause harm (See box).

They also hinted that if such weapons circulate among insurgents and criminals in the country, low-flying aircraft and banks could become targets of attack. A security analyst and former security adviser to the Rivers State Government, Chief Anabs Sara-Igbe, who spoke in a telephone interview with Sunday Sun, equally alerted that the security situation in the country was heightening as there was fresh arms build-up in the Niger Delta and that “the governors are aware…but they are handicapped.”

Sara-Igbe, who is also a maritime expert, said if importers of the weapons had succeeded in clearing them, they could make the country ungovernable. He hinged his fear on the recent twin bombings in Abuja, which claimed about a dozen lives, the Boko Haram insurgency in parts of the northern states and the intractable Jos crisis. “The Federal Government must step up its security and surveillance system. It must do more than it is doing at the moment and take more precautionary measures.

“As we speak, there is massive arms build-up in the Niger Delta. The region is again being proliferated with small weapons. Unfortunately, the (Niger Delta) governors are aware but cannot do anything. They are handicapped as they are not empowered to check the trend,” he said. In his view, Nigeria was gradually becoming a major terrorist state, with variants of ethnic, religious and criminal terrorism.

“Nigeria has been a terrorist state, which originated with the oppression by the Nigerian State of some sections of the country. The coming of groups like MEND (Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta) and OPC (Oodua Peoples Congress) are all a reaction to state-sponsored terrorism. So terrorism is not new in Nigeria. But the country is gradually turning into a major terrorist state and terrorism is a serious security breach,” he added.

The security expert identified some of the problems of the security agencies in the country, saying there is mutual mistrust among them and the tendency to hoard information. “There is a problem with dissemination of information among the security agencies. For instance, those weapons arrived the country over four months ago but we became aware only a few days ago. The security agencies do not share information and this is not good for our national security.

“The government should also set up a proper Counter-Terrorism Unit (CTU) and not the type we have in the Nigeria Police. We must move away from the analogue CTU to a digital system with emphasis on modern technology and communication equipment.”

In the same vein, security consultant, Dr Ona Ekhomu, said the proliferation of small arms like AK-47 and General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs) in the country pose serious security challenges. For instance, he said an AK-47 had capacity for 600 rounds of ammunition and could hit its target 300 meters away, GPMG could make holes as wide as one diameter even from 1800 meters while rocket launchers can be fired from 8.5 kilometers away.

He explained that rocket launchers, AK-47 and GPMGs could cause incalculable damage to large areas in a city within minutes of being deployed, warning that they should not be weapons found on the streets or with regular policemen on patrol.

According to Dr Ekhomu, one of the reasons armed robbers target policemen is to be able to snatch AK-47 from them.
“Due to its potency, AK-47 should not be the sole weapon for the police. In fact, they should not be in possession of such weapons on the streets. This makes them targets of armed robbers,” he contended.

Ekhomu advised the government to pay more attention to the country’s “porous land borders” while the security agencies “must sniff out and gather information intelligently.”

The different unions in the Anambra State University, (ANSU) have rejected a 50 per cent pay increment offered by the Anambra State government in a bid to end their three-month old strike.
The Governing Council of the university led by Prof. Elochukwu Amucheazi had made the offer to the unions at a meeting in Awka on Friday where he said that the state government had agreed to increase the subventions to the state-owned university to enable students and workers go back to school.

The government, Sunday Sun gathered offered to increase the monthly subvention to the university by N31 million, and proposed a salary increment of 50 per cent, an offer that did not go down well with the striking unions.
Speaking after the meeting, Prof Amucheazi said that the state government’s gesture was part of the peace process to bring the striking unions back to school especially in the south east.

He did not say much about generating revenue internally in the school to help the school run its academic calendar without strike. Instead he said that the university will consider increasing school fees.
But the chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Anambra State University chapter, Dr. Jaja Nwanegbo, who was in the meeting at Awka on Friday said the offer was not anything to write home about.
According to Dr. Nwanegbo, “we do not have the mandate to negotiate. We shall report back to the national body (of ASUU)”.

The Chairman of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, Mr. Vincent Asoegwu, also confirmed the position of the unions to Sunday Sun. He said the unions have different bodies negotiating on their behalf.
Reacting to the rejection of the offers by the unions, the Special Assistant to the Governor on Media, Mr. Valentine Obienyem, said it would appear that the unions have a hidden agenda adding that “…the governor will at all times work within the resources of the state. When he came in, the subvention was N15 million. Now council has increased it to N45 million and increased salary by 50 per cent. And they are adamant.
“I don’t want to believe some people who are saying the strike is politically motivated. With this development, one can well imagine if those who say so are right.”

The unions have been on strike for three months now and are asking for the implementation of the new salary scale determined by the Federal Government and the unions as well as improved funding of the universities.
While the government has said it has no funds to pay what the unions were asking for, the unions asked the governor to source money from his security vote, which they say is 10 times the subvention government handed to the universities.
They however maintained that they would not accept the suggestion by government to raise tuition fees, stressing that the economic condition of the people do not encourage the proposed increase in tuition fees.

Miss Mary Nduagu is a Senior Secondary School (SSS )Two student of the Abayi International School, Abia State and daughter of the driver of the vehicle in which they were travelling when abductors seized them recently. In this interview with UGOCHUKWU EKE, she narrates how they were abducted, their ordeal in the kidnappers’ den and how they eventually breathed the air of freedom. Excerpts:

What really happened on that day?



We were close to the gate of our school when the men appeared from nowhere and ordered our driver to stop and he did. Then, they asked the conductor to come out and lie down on the road. He complied and they pushed the driver down from the vehicle and drove us off. When we started protesting, they ordered us to keep quiet, that we were not the ones they wanted. They drove for a while and stopped to blindfold some of us, whom they felt, would be able to recognise the road. They drove us at neck-breaking speed into the forest where we were taken to a fine house. They asked me if I could recognise them anywhere and I said ‘no’.

So, what actually went on in the house?

They took us into the house. At night, they switched on a generating set. Whenever they heard gun shots around, they would switch off the generating set so as not to attract attention or to know where the sound of gun shots was coming from. After that, they would come out of the house to take us into hiding in the forest so that those they thought might be looking for us would not find us. We would remain there until the shooting stopped and we would later be taken back into the house.

How would you describe the first day you spent with the kidnappers?

On our first day in the forest, most of the children showed signs of sickness and were looking very weak; so, they went and bought pain-relieving drugs like paracetamol and novalgin. They tried to force us to take them but we refused. It was only little Nancy that took the drug. At a point in time when we got into the forest and they felt threatened by the shootings of the police and the army, they brought one 50-litre jerry can, filled it with bullets and buried it. They then took us to another place in another part of the forest.

So what happened after that?

We continued and got to another house in the forest. It was different from the first one they took us to on the first day they abducted us. There, they cooked rice and asked us to eat. Again, we refused to eat it. In fact, one aunt that we met there who was being addressed as Navy begged us to eat the rice for us to get some strength, but we refused.

How were they reacting when it seemed that the security men were close by?

When the police helicopter hovered around the place where we were kept, they would ask us to enter into the house until the helicopter would leave that area. But one day, they asked us to remove our clothes for them to be washed. They did and spread them outside.

On that day they washed our clothes, all of us were unclothed; only some of us that are a bit grown up were left with singlet. But when the helicopter came again, they quickly took the uniforms inside the house. It should be around 3pm on that day.

One day, many of the children took ill and we told them that we wanted to go and see our

Daddies and Mummies; they refused and started shooting. But most of the little children never knew that they were being held captive except me and a few others. They only had the feeling that all was not well.

How were you eventually rescued?

It was on Wednesday night that we were released. The shooting was too much for them to bear and they told us that it was because of us that the police were shooting and that once they left us, the shooting would stop. They then asked one uncle who they had earlier kidnapped before us to take us out. They brought us out and told the man to take us to where the policemen or soldiers would see and take us home. They also told him that he should just follow the road straight without going right or left, noting that the route would lead us to the express way. The uncle took us along and we started going. We left there around 11 pm and started walking; we walked all through the night till we got to where we met some mobile policemen around 5am on Thursday.

Determined to win the presidential primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), ex-President Ibrahim Babangida and ex-Vice-President Atiku Abubakar have started the intense lobbying of members of the 36 state houses of assembly and other automatic delegates.

They have intensified their campaign in their bid to defeat President Goodluck Jonathan at the presidential primaries of the party.

In one of such meetings, many members of the Kogi House of Assembly met secretly with the two leading presidential aspirants in Abuja on Thursday night.

Also, barring last-minute change of mind, the PDP may hold its presidential primaries in January 2011.

Investigation by The Nation revealed that Babangida and Atiku have emerged as early runners for the presidential primaries with one-on-one lobbying of state lawmakers and other automatic delegates.

Section 12.84 of the PDP Constitution makes some party members automatic delegates. They are state governors; deputy governors; all members of the National Assembly who are members of the party; all elected local government chairmen; all party chairmen of the 774 local government areas; all members of the Zonal Working Committee; state party chairmen and secretaries, including those of the Federal Capital Territory.

According to findings, the two aspirants had secretly met with lawmakers from about 15 states in Abuja as part of steps to secure the majority ahead of the National Convention.

It was gathered that lawmakers from some states alleged to be the strongholds of President Jonathan sneaked into Abuja to meet with the two presidential gladiators.

Apart from selling their programmes, it was learnt that a major issue that featured at the lobbying session was how to stop President Jonathan from usurping a slot meant for the north in 2011.

Investigation showed that some of the lawmakers asked the two aspirants to insist on secret ballot for the primaries in order to be able to vote according to their conscience.

A reliable source, who spoke in confidence, said: "The presidential primary is a game of number and not the amount of shuttles any campaign group could embark upon.

"The two aspirants have adopted a one-on-one method used by the late presidential aspirant, Gen. Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, which almost earned him the presidential ticket of the defunct Social Democratic Party(SDP) before it was cancelled.

"They are already wooing these automatic delegates and this is adding a fresh dimension to the presidential primaries. It is certainly going to be a battle royale".

The source added that some members of the Kogi State House of Assembly were among the latest batch of automatic delegates who met with the two presidential aspirants.

He added: "You know, Kogi State is a major area of strength of the President. But the lawmakers said they were ready to back a northern candidate. The development was shocking to major stakeholders in Kogi State."

Meanwhile, there were strong indications yesterday that the presidential primaries of the party might hold in January.

A source said: "We are looking forward to January for the primaries because of Hajj, Eid-el-Kabir and Christmas festivals ahead of us.

"The party also opted for January to enable it to put its house in order before the presidential primaries.

"There is no point pretending that all is well in the party. Some of our leaders are bickering over congresses in some states and a few others are out to remove the National Chairman of the party, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo.

"So, we need to sort out ourselves before the presidential primaries. Notwithstanding, we hope to conduct local government congresses on or before December ending."

The peace deal between Niger Delta militants and the Federal Government, culminating in the amnesty exercise was yesterday shattered with an attack on an oil facility belonging to Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC) located at Osiama, Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

The attack has already forced Agip to shut down the 60,000 barrels per day (bpd) until the conclusion of investigations.
Though the identities of the attackers are not known, reliable sources said an ex-militant leader is being fingered as being behind the attack. Also, security sources said two explosives were used to blow up the pipeline, which link the Osiama field to Brass terminal.

The attackers, who were said to have invaded the facility in the wee hours of the morning, blew up the pipeline and disappeared without any traces.
Checks indicated that the attackers were able to carry out the act because there was no military presence in the area.
An impeccable source said security agents had swung into action, investigating the motive behind the attack. He also said they also do not want to leave any stone unturned, as there are strong indications that some armed groups are planning to unleash violence in the region.

According to the source, Henry Okah, the leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), who is currently standing trial in a South African, is believed to have re-armed some groups in the region to show his displeasure with the amnesty exercise of the Federal Government.

Investigations revealed that the attack on the Agip facility has prompted authorities of the Joint Military Task Force (JTF) to beef up security around all oil installations in the region, while surveillance has been increased.

The Joint Media Campaign Coordinator (JMCC) of JTF, Lt. Col Timothy Antigha, confirmed the incident and said the security outfit was on top of the situation.
Antigha, however, appealed to youths of the Niger Delta not to destroy the peace that already exists in the region.
While insisting that the military cannot provide security for all pipelines in the region, because of the terrain, he said it was the responsibility of youths and communities where these pipelines are located to secure them.

“The only thing the JTF would say is to appeal to the youths to allow peace to reign. With the amnesty exercise, it is proper for them not to destroy the peace. The development they want can only happen when there is peace. Nobody would come and invest in the region, if there is chaos and violence. Also, the communities, where these pipelines are located, should also do their best to secure the pipelines,” he said.

Three years after a controversy broke out on his paternity, former President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday defended his origin. He said his father was a Yoruba and not Igbo as being speculated, reports Sunday Oguntola

Was former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s father Yoruba? The question was answered yesterday at a book presentation.

Obasanjo said his dad was Yoruba and not Igbo as being speculated.

There were speculations that his father was from Igbo extraction.

The controversy was finally laid to rest in a 60-page book titled: Baba’s story: Nigeria is 50, which was presented in Lagos.

It was authored by Abyna-Ansaa Adjei, a Ghanaian.

Obasanjo’s reaction to his paternity is on page 9 of the book.

He said the story he narrated to the author about his father, a successful Egba farmer, was related to him (by his father).

The ex-president declined comments on political developments in the country.

Instead, he radiated joy by shaking hands with everybody in sight, while dancing on the podium in the expansive hall of the Civic Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos.

Obasanjo said: “I was born in a village called Ibogun-Olaogun in what was then Abeokuta Province and which is today part of Ifo Local Government Area in Ogun State. This village is only 30 kilometres from Abeokuta. As a child, I lived in Ibogun-Olaogun with my parents and my younger sister, Oluwola. Our childhood was a simple one spent in a typical Nigerian farming settlement. Our village had less than 50 huts built with mud walls and mostly thatched roofs and the only jobs at the time were farming or petty trading in farm products.

“By age five, I had started going to the farm with papa and that was when he began to teach me about the history, culture and traditions of my ancestors and our land. Our village, though small, was composed of other ethnic groups such as Itsekiri, Urhobo, Igbira, Hausa, Igbo and Ijaw who were also either petty traders or farm hands. My father, who was by every measure, the most successful farmer in the village and in the Ibogun area, was a proud Yoruba man and he told me about Oduduwa, the founder of the Yoruba nation. Papa had heard this story from his own father, Baba Alarobo, who also heard it from his father, Baba Elesin. Papa said this story had been told for hundreds of years in our family in this ‘father-to-son’ way. Although, my father never stopped teaching us Yoruba culture, proverbs and tradition, he made us also respect the language, the culture, traditions and ways of life of other people living in the village.”

Dignitaries at the book launch were former President of Ghana, Mr. John Kuffour, former Governor of Jigawa State Saminu Turaki; Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo and Akran of Badagry, Aholu Menu Toyi 1.

Others included former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Dr. Ola Vincent and Chief Feyi Oshinkanlu.

Kuffour, who exuded confidence on the future of African continent advised Nigerians not to be weighed down by the Fitch rating since, according to him, the continent is destined to rise again.

On the 2011 election, Kuffour said: “ I pray that Nigeria will be able to conduct a peaceful election that its outcome will be acceptable to all Nigerians”
