The presidency through presidential media aide on social media, Lauretta Onochie has said that if Atiku had won the 2019 elections it would have been over for Nigeria.



The presidency was reacting to the ongoing trial at the election petition tribunal where PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his party were opposing the reelection of president Muhammadu Buhari and said they had 400 witnesses to testify against the election but ended up presenting only 60.

Loretta through her Twitter page, wrote,

'I must again thank Nigerians for reelecting Muhammadu Buhari.

Imagine for a second Atiku won the 2019 election, it would have been over for our nation.

He cannot manage his own affairs

Hired 400 witnesses
Called only 60, a paltry 15%
He was scammed
We deserve better than 15%'

After the much-awaited ministerial list of President Muhammadu Buhari has been made public today 23 July, pressmanng.com has made some observations and found out that the president gave preferential treatment to some state by giving them two ministerial slots.



There are 7 states with two ministerial slots each.

Anambra state is among the most noticeable states that got two ministerial slots from president Buhari, however pressmanng could not come up with the probable reason for this:

Anambra - Dr Chris Ngige
Anambra - sharon Ikeazu


The next state that got the two ministerial slot is Bauchi. Bauchi was among the states that gave president Buhari the most arousing welcome during his Campaign and they also showed support to the president by giving him a reasonable margin of votes.

Bauchi - Adamu Adamu
Bauchi - Ambassador Mariam Kategu

The most obvious reason for giving Edo state two ministerial slots could be that APC chairman, Adams Oshiomhole was from that state and he is among the right hand people of president Buhari.

Edo - Osagie Ehanire
Edo - Clement Agba

Kaduna is home to president Buhari because after Daura the next best destination for the president is Kaduna, he has a residential house there and the current governor of the state, Nasir El-Rufai is his right man this the reason for giving the state two ministerial slots

Kaduna - Zainab Ahmed
Kaduna - Mohammed Mahmud

Kano had as usual given the president Muhammadu Buhari the most votes in the last general Election and its understandable if the state is given two ministerial slots

Kano - Sabo Nanono
Kano - Major Bashir Sani

Lai Muhammad is among the 11 ex ministers that made it to the new ministerial list of president Muhammdu Buhari, the reason is obvious, as a minister of information, Lai Muhammad had protected the interest of the president at all cost. The second name that came from kwara state on the ministerial list was that of the sister to former senate president who abandoned her brother and supported president Buhari in the last election. What more reason do we need?

Kwara - Lai Mohammed
Kwara - Gbemisola Saraki

Lagos the commercial city of Nigeria and the home to Vice President, prof Yomi Osinbajo and the APC talisman who is also presumed to be the next APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmad Tinubu The Jagaban can be said to have deserved the two ministerial slots

Lagos - Babatunde Raji Fashola
Lagos - Adeleke Mamora

President Muhammadu Buhari has just signed the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement(AFCFTA)in the Niger Republic Where he is Currently attending The African Union Summit.



Many Nigerians were however not aware of the real meaning, merits and demerits of this Agreement.

Pressmanng.com has taken time to make research and provide you with all you need to know about the Agreement.

MEANING:
The African Continental Free Trade Area(AfCFTA) is a free trade area, outlined in the African Continental Free Trade Agreement among 52 of the 55 African Union nations. The free trade Area is the largest in the world in terms of participating countries since the formation of the World Trade Organisation.

WHAT IS IN THE AGREEMEN?

The agreement was brokered by the African Union(AU) and was signed on by 44 of its 55 member states in Kigali, Rwanda on March 21, 2018. The agreement initially requires members to remove tariffs from 90% of goods, allowing free access to commodities, goods, and services across the continent. The United Nations Economic Commission of Africa estimates that the agreement will boost intra-African trade by 52 percent by 2022. The proposal was set to come into force 30 days after ratification by 22 of the signatory states. On April 2, 2019, The Gambia became the 22nd state to ratify the agreement, and on April 29 the Saharawi Republic made the 22nd deposit of instruments of ratification.

WHEN WILL THE AFCFTA START WORKING?

The agreement went into force on May 30 and will enter its operational phase following a summit on July 7, 2019.

HOW IS AFCFTA GOING TO WORK?

AfCFTA secretariat

The secretariat will be responsible for coordinating the implementation of the agreement and shall be an autonomous body within the AU system. Though it will have independent legal personality, it shall work closely with the AU Commission and receive its budget from the AU. The Council of Ministers responsible for trade will decide on the location of the headquarter, structure, role and responsibilities.

Assembly of the African Union Heads of State and Government

The Assembly is the highest decision-making body. It is likely to meet during the AU Summits.

Council of Ministers responsible for trade

The Council provides strategic trade policy oversight and ensures effective implementation and enforcement of the AfCFTA Agreement.

Committee of Senior Trade Officials

The Committee of Senior Trade Officials implements the Council’s decisions. The Committee is responsible for the development of programs and action plans for the implementation of the AfCFTA Agreement.

Dispute Settlement Body

Its rules and procedures will be laid down in the Protocol on Dispute Settlement, which is to be negotiated.

Committees

Several Committees will be established through protocols to assist with the implementation of specific matters. It is already agreed to establish committees for trade in goods, trade in services, on rules of origin, trade remedies, non-tariff barriers, technical barriers to trade and on sanitary and phytosanitary measures.

Eritrea is the only country that is yet to sign the Agreement

President Muhammadu Buhari was particularly reluctant to join if it hurt Nigerian entrepreneurship and industry. On July 7, 2019 Nigeria and Benin finally committed to signing the Africa free trade at the 12th extraordinary session of the assembly of the union on ACFTA; leaving Eritrea as the only nation out of the 55 African Union Member States to sign up to the deal and to ratify same.

The former captain of the Eagles has stated Nigeria will get the job done against the Indomitable Lions on Saturday in Alexandria.

“It is going to be a tough one knowing the rivalry between Nigeria and Cameroon,” Kanu told the media, Goal Reports.

“The tie involving both teams is always a battle but the good thing is that the last time we met we won 4-0 in Nigeria and drew 1-1 in Cameroon. But all the same, it is a game that I see that we can win.

“The players must have to do it. They have to have the belief that they can do it and that they are all good to do it. With what I saw in their training (on Thursday), I can say that we are ready.

“Cameroon wherever they are, are scared of Nigeria. We also respect them. it is a game that will be very interesting but in the end, victory will be ours.

“It is football [losing to Madagascar] and sometimes things as such happen but that is not always the end. It was a mistake and they can bounce back.

“A good team can be losing 3-0 and still stage a comeback. We did it in the Olympics (in 1996) against Brazil and we won. What we need to do is that we have to forget what happened against Madagascar and move forward.

“We still have equal chances as Cameroon of moving to the next round. What we need to do since we didn’t play well against Madagascar is to ensure that we use the game with Cameroon to serve the notice that we only suffered a blip."

President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to depart Abuja on Saturday for Niamey, Niger Republic to attend the African Union (AU) Summit, scheduled to hold on 7th July.


A statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said Buhari will participate in the 12th Extraordinary Session of the Assembly of the Union on African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the First Mid-Year Coordination Meeting of the AU and the Regional Economic Communities (RECs) in Niamey.

The Extraordinary Session of the Assembly of the Union is expected to launch the operational instruments of the Agreement establishing AfCFTA.

The instruments include: AfCFTA Rules of Origin, Tariff Concession Portals, Portal on Monitoring and Elimination of Non-Tariff Barriers, Digital Payments and Clearing Systems and African Trade and Observatory Dashboard.



“Prior to the Summit, the Buhari Administration had embarked on extensive consultations with stakeholders, culminating in the submission of the report by the Presidential Committee to Assess Impact and Readiness of Nigeria to join the AfCFTA.

“The committee had recommended that Nigeria should sign the Agreement which aims to boost intra-African trade.

“President Buhari will sign the AfCFTA Agreement on the margins of the AU meeting in Niamey.

While formally accepting the report on June 27, President Buhari said: “For AfCFTA to succeed, we must develop policies that promote African production, among other benefits.

”Africa, therefore, needs not only a trade policy but also a continental manufacturing agenda. Our vision for intra-African trade is for the free movement of ‘made in Africa goods.’ That is, goods and services made locally with dominant African content in terms of raw materials and value addition.”

President Buhari will be accompanied to Niamey by the First Lady, Mrs Aisha Buhari; Governors Babagana Zulum, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu and Aminu Bello Masari of Borno, Kebbi and Katsina States respectively.

Adamawa-North lawmaker, Senator Elisha Abbo, has been drawn into a fresh scandal as a photojournalist, Olumuyiwa Owolabi, has accused him of assault and breach of agreement.

Owolabi told The PUNCH that Abbo not only assaulted him but got the police to lock him up in Adamawa.
He said he first met Abbo in 2014 during the run-up to the June 2014 Ekiti State governorship election which Ayodele Fayose won.

Owolabi said, “On approaching Senator Abbo to enforce the contract agreement we had, he refused to pay. He ignored several pleas for him to just give me part of my money.

“On the fateful day we wanted to travel together to Mubi for the last campaign, Boko Haram invaded the place prior to the day we ought to have travelled. Due to the attack by Boko Haram, I began to plead with him that I needed to leave the state.

“After several text messages and calls put through to him were ignored, I had no choice but to sit in front of his room where he was lodged at Dansoho Hotel, Yola. This was around 5pm.”

The photojournalist alleged that when Abbo saw him, he got so angry that he began to beat him, slapping him repeatedly.

Owolabi said Abbo quickly called a policeman and told the cop that he was a Boko Haram suspect and should be arrested immediately.

The photojournalist further stated, “As soon as he came out, I began to plead with him that I had to go. The next thing he said was that I was embarrassing him. He started beating and slapping me. He told his orderly to put me inside the pickup truck. He told them to point their guns at me and that he would kill me and tell people I was a member of Boko Haram.

“When I heard that statement, I was shocked because I didn’t know anybody there and I couldn’t speak their language fluently. No one could come to my rescue when he brutalised me, causing me to sprain my ankle.

“I began begging him to just leave me and let me go that I would leave the money for him because of his action.”

He alleged that Abbo’s police escort took him to Kaliwa Police Division around 2am with the instruction that he should be shot dead if he failed to comport himself.

Owolabi said Abbo had broken his phone at the time and so he was locked up in the police station without any means of contacting anyone.

The photojournalist added, “He had damaged my phone I couldn’t contact anybody; he tore my clothes and I was virtually naked.

“That very night, on getting to Kaliwa police station, I begged the investigating police officer to please let me use his phone to talk to one of my relatives. That was how I called one of my brothers that pleaded with the IPO to assist me out of the situation.

“The DPO came the following morning and begged him (Abbo) to give me transport fare to go back to meet my family. Till date, he hasn’t paid me the money.”
The photojournalist, who pleaded with Nigerians to help him, also shared photos of private chats he purportedly had with the senator.

Attempts to speak with the senator proved abortive as calls put through to his telephone indicated that it was switched off while a text message was not responded to as of 7am on Thursday.

The Nigerian Football Federation is going to sack the Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr even if he wins The Africa Cup of Nations.

The NFF was reported to be Furious with Gernot Rohr because he talks with the media about tenets of his contract which has non-disclosure clause from both parties.

The NFF is also angry with the coach because despite granting all his request and leaving the choice of players to him, his performance is below expectations.

The coach is also accused of fuelling the issue of non-payment of match Bonuses to Super Eagles.

“Since Nigeria qualified for AFCON, our attackers have been clay-footed with the manager unable to evolve a system that will optimise the potential of the team’s strikers, who do well with the European clubs and in the Diaspora.

“We have given Rohr a free-hand to run the team. He picked his players for this competition unhindered. We had a few reservations about the choice of certain players. But we allowed him to go with all the technical issues, especially with the choice of players,” an NFF chieftain said, SportingLife reports.
