Politics › I Believe That The Best For Nigeria Now Is Muhammadu Buhari- Ikpomnwen by sayyid(op): 9:01pm On Nov 03, 2015

FORMER Provost Marshal of the Nigeria Army, Brig.Gen.Idada Ikpomnwen has described as damaging distraction, the allegation by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that the President Muhammadu Buhari’s war against corruption was selective, urging the leadership of the party to shut their mouth in shame.
Gen.Ikponmwen, who also is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, said “ I think all those accusing the President of selective justice, such as the PDP,saying that he is only dealing with perceived opponents and people of rival parties is just a distraction. Unacceptable and damaging distraction which Nigeria cannot afford at this time.
“I believe that the best for Nigeria now is Muhammadu Buhari. The most outstanding quality that made Nigerians go for him is his incorruptibility and transparent life pattern and he obviously is the man who can change Nigeria by infusing selflessness and transparency into all facets of Nigeria life both public and private.
According to him, “the PDP should shut their mouth in shame. They had opportunity to move this country forward over one and half decades, they did not do it rather a cabal grew within the group, growing in misrule that worsened from day to day and leaving nothing but anger and frustration to Nigerians. We have started moving forward even by mere presence of a leader that is known to be genuine and committed to the progress of this country.
“We must all build on that gain by having personal commitment in the change to transparency and good governance of this country. Nigeria does not lack good people, the problem in this country is for those good people to be properly utilized. We must change our values and stop worshipping and glorifying those who ought to be in jail and who ought to be black listed. For too long have we had undeserving people getting honours from government and titles from traditional rulers.
“Efficiency at all levels especially in government must be improved and all organs of government must fully imbibe the change living no room for trading blames and for unnecessary unhealthy rivalry. The PDP created all these problems and they must stop deceiving themselves. I believe that Nigeria is on the right course and God willing we will make it as a nation” he declared.

Politics › Buhari To Open National Political Summit January 24 by sayyid(op): 7:49am On Nov 03, 2015

TO deepen Nigeria’s democracy and improve on the gains of the 2015 general elections leading politicians in the country will hold a three-day meeting in January.
Entitled National Political Summit and organized by a group under the aegis, Save Democracy Group of Africa, SDG- Africa, the gathering will be declared open by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Expected to be an assemblage of politicians in Nigeria, the summit, which will be held between January 24 to 26, will, among others, discuss issues relating to the nation’s political environment, especially on how to consolidate on the success recorded during the 2015 presidential election, just as it would be a follow-up to yesterday’s official unveiling of the annual national political summit.
The maiden summit is being put together by former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ibrahim Mantu; former Speaker, House of Representatives, Ghali Umar Na’ Abba; former Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly Matters, Senator Joy Emodi; Iyom Josephine Anenih; Dr. John Dara; former military governor of Akwa Ibom State, Idongesit Nkanga; Senator Dino Melaye, All Progressives Congress, APC, Kogi West; member, House of Representatives, Sani Zoro; former Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory, Lawrence Alobi; Chairman, Labour Party, Abdulkadir Salami; Buba Galadima, Tom Adaba, Alhaji Isa Salami; Senator Adefemi Kila, and 2015 presidential candidate of Action Alliance, AA, Anifowose Kelani, among others.
In his address of welcome, yesterday, at Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, the Director- General, Save Democracy Group Africa, Dr. Ifedi Okwenna said: “The Annual National Political Summit is a flagship event of the Save Democracy Group Africa in collaboration with some international development partners, corporate organizations and the Nigerian political parties. The decision to institute the summit was consequent on the landmark successes of the 2015 general elections, generally accepted to have against all predictions brought peace and stability to our polity and elevated our prestige and international recognition and acceptance among democratic nations.
‘’Consolidating on the gains of this success, we reasoned, will help us curb the many ills of our politics which include the lack of internal democracy, absence of ideological framework, lack of party discipline and inability of participants to develop positive political culture.
“We equally noticed that, the continuous call for political dialogue at any turn of event in Nigeria shows that some issues in our democracy and in our body politic are far from being settled.
“It therefore behoves on us as a nation to continuously dialogue and to build on our past experiences to create a better nation. The political engineering of our nation should be continu- ous and all democrats should be on board.’’

Politics › Budget 2016 Should Focus On Infrastructure by sayyid(op): 7:43am On Nov 02, 2015

NIGERIA can overcome slowing growth with spending as the government plans to create a $25 billion fund combining public and private financing to develop infrastructure, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. This is heartwarming at a time of great fear that the economy might slide into recession.
The decline in oil prices since the middle of last year led Nigeria, Africa’s largest producer of crude, to slash its budget. The country’s credit rating has been downgraded by Standard & Poor’s, while JPMorgan Chase removed Nigeria from its local-currency emerging market indexes. The nation relies on oil for about two-thirds of its revenue and 90 percent of its exports.
The Vice President said government is thinking of dodging the slide into recession by maintaining a healthy spending agenda rather than cutting back. Many in government quarters have already been calling for belt-tightening or austerity measures that could see a deep slash in 2016 government spending.
In reality, it is in times of economic slowdowns that governments should borrow and spend more. Economists have long argued that massive public works in times of recession have, most of the time, had positive effects on economies faced with prospects of slumping. During the 2007/2008 global financial meltdown, the government of President Barrack Obama introduced a massive stimulus package that helped the American economy to overcome its difficult times.
It is, therefore, imperative that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration takes a cue from this and borrows even from the capital market to shore up spending in 2016. An economic stimulus package by this government will succeed as President Buhari has a track record of successfully guiding stimulus programmes as he did with the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF).
Buhari has a track record of frugal handling of public funds and zero tolerance for corruption. He will be trusted and supported by the people to borrow and invest heavily in infrastructure.
Government robust spending in times of low cash flow has the capacity to stimulate the economy by increasing demand, production and job creation. On the other hand, deep cuts in government spending will lead to low production resulting from reduction in disposable income in the hands of consumers.
Nigeria could follow the example of Asian countries that financed their stimulus programmes through domestic borrowing mainly by issuing government bonds. It is a global norm that borrowing money domestically in one’s own currency is not nearly as problematic as raising funds from external sources.
We indeed support that Nigeria should not cut spending in 2016 but rather increase budgetary provisions for infrastructure even if we have to borrow. It is a welcome idea and the right way forward.

Politics › BVN: Emefiele Summoned By House Of Reps by sayyid(op): 7:29am On Oct 31, 2015

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Godwin Emefiele has been summoned by the House of Representatives committee on banking and currency.
The committee demanded the presence of the apex bank boss to explain to it why there is a directive by the CBN for Nigerians to disclose their Bank Verification Number (BVN) to every Bureau de Change operator upon transaction.
The resolution by the lower house followed a motion sponsored by Hon. Dan- buram Nuhu, entitled “motion against proliferation of Bank Verification Numbers” raised as an urgent matter of public importance.
According to Nuhu, the CBN’s move to stabilise foreign exchange market by making it compulsory for all Bureau de Change to have the BVN of all customers in the bid to stem money laundering will make financial records easily accessible to fraudulent people.
He said: ”All customers desiring foreign exchange through any channel would be forced to give their BVN to those with whom they are doing transactions (with).
”In this era of internet fraud, this will endanger our people’s hard earned money and cause even more problems than it was meant to solve.”
The lower chamber adopted Nuhu’s motion after it was put to a voice vote and was presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Yusuff Lasun.
The house then mandated its committee on telecommunications to investigate the extent of compliance by all telecommunication companies operating in the country.
Meanwhile, the apex bank governor, has stated that the CBN won’t devalue the country’s currency again. The CBN governor stated this today, October 30, while speaking to state house correspondents at the presidential villa, Aso Rock, Abuja.
Emefiele, had earlier given a hint that he will consider easing restrictions on currency trading if demand for foreign exchange drops further.

Politics › Ijaw Group Counters Clark, Lists What He Benefited From Jonathan by sayyid(op): 12:57pm On Oct 29, 2015

By Emma Amaize
ASABA- A group, Ijaw Justice Forum, IJF, in Delta State, Wednesday, said it was malicious for former Federal Commissioner for Information, Chief Edwin Clark, to say that he did not get anything from the former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan administration.

In a statement jointly signed by the president and secretary, Karona Etonye and Ekenwan Akwagbe respectively, the group said it was surprised at media report quoting Clark to have said among other things to that he did not get any contract and never asked for job slots for either his children or relatives in Jonathan regime.

“This is the peak of ingratitude from a man, who called himself the ‘father’ of the former president. He attracted patronage from the high and mighty from all parts of Nigeria and received gifts of cash and kind because of their perceived closeness of him to Dr. Jonathan.

“It is wicked and mischievous for Clark to say that he did not get anything from the Jonathan administration, including contracts. Perhaps, Clark made this statement to the Vanguard reporter in his dream, has he forgotten that his company was awarded a contract for the reclamation and shore protection of Amadi-ama community in Rivers State by the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs during the Jonathan era? The group added.

They asserted, “It can be said and indeed correctly that Clark is the proverbial fowl that eats and cleans its beak or mouth on the ground so that there will be no trace of food particles on the sides of its mouth. This, he has done to several persons that occupied public offices in the past.

“Between 1999 and 2007, Chief Clark was one of the elders that benefitted most from the administration of Chief James Ibori in Delta State. As it is characteristic of him, he sponsored a so-called Delta Elders and Stakeholders’ Forum to petition the EFCC alleging that Ibori committed monumental corrupt practices while in office.

“It is quite unfortunate that Chief Clark at 90 can peddle lies and make them appear as if they were true. How would Clark say that he did not ask for jobs for his children or for his relatives? Has he forgotten the note he wrote to the former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe asking him to use his good offices to make his younger brother, Mr. Isa Clark the Coordinator of the Sure- P programme in Delta South Senatorial District? The group further said.

It asserted, “Under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Chief Clark applied for and was granted licence to establish a private university, the E. K. Clark University in his hometown, Kiagbodo. The launching, which took place in the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja was attended by the who- is- who in Nigerian politics, including Dr. Jonathan himself.”

“To complement the federal government gesture, the NDDC awarded contract for the sinking of a bore hole in the university campus. It is incontrovertible that he had that huge patronage because of the former president. If he doubts it, we challenge him to come up with a new project and see how many Nigerians of substance will attend,” IJF said.

According to it, “There are many more gains that Clark made in the Jonathan era, never before in his political life has he gotten the kind of patronage he had under Jonathan.”

The group pointed out the Chief Clark contributed hugely to failure of the former president in the March presidential polls, saying, “The insults and abuses he rained on leading political figures across Nigeria attracted hatred to Jonathan and that affected negatively the outcome of the election results.”

Politics › President Buhari Congratulates New Ooni Of Ife by sayyid(op): 9:13pm On Oct 27, 2015

Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari, has joined other Nigerians to congratulate the newly selected Ooni of Ife, Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi.
Ogunwusi, a real estate magnate was appointed the 51th Ooni of Ife following the death of the former Ooni Oba Okunade Sijuwade at a London clinic on August 10.
Buhari, in a statement signed by his special adviser on media and publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina urged the new Ooni to show fairness to all his subjects and sustain peace in the land.
“On behalf of the Federal Government and people of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari congratulates Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi on his emergence as the 51st Ooni of Ife and successor to the late Oba Okunade Sijuade.
“President Buhari rejoices with Prince Adeyeye on his nomination as Ooni by the kingmakers of Ife after a keenly contested but peaceful selection process, and confirmation yesterday by Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State.
“As he prepares to begin the rites of ascension to the revered throne of his great ancestors, President Buhari urges the Ooni-designate to commit himself to carrying all his subjects along to a new era of peace, stability and progress in Ife, Yorubaland and Nigeria as a whole.
“The President calls on Prince Adeyeye to be prepared to put his new position as Ooni and principal custodian of the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the Yorubas to good use in the service of his people.
“President Buhari also urges the Ooni-designate to dedicate himself to building on, and surpassing the worthy legacies of his much-acclaimed predecessor, Oba Sijuwade, and working with government and other traditional rulers across the country to foster greater harmony, peaceful co-existence and faster socio-economic development of his people and all Nigerians.
“As Prince Adeyeye ascends to the grand throne of the Ooni of Ife, the President prays that God Almighty will grant him the immense wisdom and courage he will require to oversee further progress and greater prosperity for his people.
“He wishes the new Ooni a long and highly successful reign in the service of his people and country,” the statement reads.
The Senate president Bukola Saraki, on Monday 26, congratulated the newly selected Ooni of Ife-designate , Prince Adeyeye Ogunwusi and advised him to concentrate on further solidifying the role of the Yoruba people in national unity.
Also, the Osun state APC said it expect the
new king to to take off from where the late Sijuwade ended his glorious reign as it is looking forward to the eventful reign of the new Ooni.

Politics › Amaechi's Screening By Senate In Order, Says Presidency by sayyid(op): 11:37am On Oct 27, 2015*

The Presidency on Monday said the Senate acted within its constitutional right with its decision to screen former Governor Rotimi Amaechi last week Tuesday, despite the fact that the report of a petition against him had yet to be considered.
The Peoples Democratic Party senators had last week protested the decision of the upper chamber to proceed with Amaechi’s screening without first considering the report of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, which allegedly advised against the exercise.
The leader of the opposition in the red chamber, Senator Godswill Akpabio, had said that his colleagues would not participate in the screening until the report of the panel on the allegation of fraud against the ministerial nominee was deliberated upon.
But the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang, told journalists in Abuja on Monday that the Senate reserved every right to adopt any procedure to carry out its legislative business.
Enang said, “They (senators) are within their constitutional right to regulate their own proceedings. The constitution authorises the Senate and the House of Representatives and every legislative House to regulate its own proceedings, including managing matters that are brought before them.
“Therefore, what the Senate did was domestic to the Senate and I am not in a position to speak about it, but they are within their constitutional right. What they did was domestic and internal and it was within their powers. So, I am not in a position to speak one way or the other about it.”
Enang commended the senators and the nominees so far screened for the maturity they displayed in handling the exercise, which according to him, was very peaceful, contrary to insinuations that it would be rancorous.
He said, “They have shown in the handling of the matter on the floor of the Senate, their personal interaction, the reception of the senators in the course of the consultation even outside the floor of the Senate.
“They have shown the candour and the real characteristic nature of a matured Senate. I want to thank them in words that I cannot describe, in words that I cannot really utter.
“We are very grateful to them and we are confident that the few that are remaining we will be able in not distant future, to conclude it and then get done with it.
“I want to really appreciate them because Nigerians thought that the process will be very tumultuous, the process will be very rancorous.
“Some people thought that the questions to the nominees will be very personal and attacking but the senators, in the course of their questions, showed their intellect, their candour, their appreciation of national issues.
“They addressed the issues that relate to governance and international perspective to the quality of candidates.
“I also want to appreciate the candidates who have appeared so far for the matured way they answered all the questions put to them. I think they are what Nigerians are waiting for and a good team of Mr. President.”
Meanwhile, the Senate will on Tuesday (today) resume the screening of the remaining 11 ministerial nominees forwarded to it by Buhari penultimate Monday.
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, told our correspondent on Monday that the All Progressives Congress members in Sokoto State had filed a petition against the nomination of Ms. Aisha Abubakar.
He also said that another petition had been filed against the Cross River State nominee, Mr. Usani Uguru, but that none of the two fresh petitions had been formally laid before the Senate.

Politics › Lagos Plans To Spend N1bn On Schools Renovation by sayyid(op): 7:17pm On Oct 23, 2015

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, has said his administration has earmarked over N1bn for the renovation and supply of furniture and education materials across all secondary schools in the state.
The governor, who reiterated the determination of his administration to invest massively in the educational sector, said 1,300 teachers would soon be employed for the primary schools in the state.
Ambode, who spoke in Ilara-Epe on Friday while inaugurating Augustine University, a private university, owned by the Catholic Church, also assured the people of the plans of his administration to resolve the lingering crisis in the Lagos State University.
He said the need to resolve the crisis in the institution prompted the inauguration of new Governing Councils for the institution and other tertiary institutions in the state.
Appreciating the Catholic Church for the project, Ambode said the best way to prepare for change, whether positive or negative, was to anticipate and manage it.
He added, “From my exposure, I have come to the conclusion that there is no greater form of preparation to manage change than through education.
“There is no greater investment that the individual parent can make than investment in education of the highest possible quality.”
The governor said considering the population of Lagos State, which is about 20 million, 60 per cent of which are people below 35 years of age, the state was seriously in a need for institutions of higher learning.
He noted that the establishment of Augustine University, which brings the number of privately-owned universities in the state to four and six universities in all, was a welcome development.
In his pre-inaugural briefing, Archbishop of Lagos Catholic Archdiocese, His Eminence, Adewale Martins, said the idea to establish the university was muted seven years ago with the laudable goal of taking Catholic education to the next level in Nigeria.
He thanked the Lagos State Government for providing the institution with necessary documents needed for the approval of licence by the National Universities Commission.

Politics › Tribunal Reserves Judgement In Peterside's Petition Against Wike by sayyid(op): 1:15am On Oct 23, 2015

The Rivers State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal on Thursday reserved judgment in the petition filed by the All Progressives Congress and its candidate in the April 11 election, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, challenging the election of Governor Nyesom Wike as the winner of the poll.
The Justice Mohammed Ambrosa-led tribunal reserved judgment after parties to the petition adopted their final written addresses on Thursday.
Justice Ambrosa said the date for delivering the judgment would be communicated to parties when it is ready.
At the final hearing day of the petition on Thursday, lead counsel to the petitioner, Chief Akin Olujinmi (SAN), urged the tribunal to nullify the election and order the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct a fresh one.
Olujinmi maintained that the petitioners had been able to establish that the April 11 poll was conducted in substantial non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act.
The petitioners, who called 56 witnesses, had tendered documentary evidence ranging from security to INEC reports; all of which indicated that the conduct of the April 11 election was characterised by fraud and widespread violence.
The respondents – INEC, Wike and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party – while adopting their separate addresses, argued that the petitioners failed to prove the case in line with the standard set by the statutes and previous decisions of the Supreme Court.
Lawyers representing the respondents– Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN), for INEC; Emmanuel Ukala (SAN) for Wike and Wole Olanipekun for the PDP, urged the tribunal to dismiss the petition on the grounds that the petitioners failed to discharge the onus of proof placed on them by the law.
At the trial, INEC called 24 witnesses, Wike called 16, but the PDP called none.
The petitioners called 56 witnesses, including some of its agents during the election and officers of the Nigerian Army, the police as well as the Department of State Service, who narrated how the conduct of the poll was characterised by irregularities and widespread violence.
One of the petitioners’ witnesses was the Head of the Election and Party Monitoring Department of INEC in Rivers State, Charles Okoye, who described the poll as “militants’ terrorism and a sham” which he said resulted in a mockery of democracy.

Seifarth disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on the sidelines of a one-day interactive conference with Nigeria’s retail food business operators.
The US official said that his government had concluded arrangement to assist more Nigerian farmers in “priority areas” so far identified by Nigerian government.
“From my experience around the world, all countries are developing their agricultural resources based on their priorities.
“And Nigeria is amongst those countries that have the possibility of being a very strong agricultural products producer.
“We are, therefore, ready to provide the needed technical assistance to Nigerian farmers in the priority areas the government has identified,” he said.
Seifarth said it was imperative for his government to support the farmers in overcoming their current challenges.
He also said that it was imperative for Nigeria to sustain her food safety laws, overall framework for producing fruits, as well as develop her poultry farming system.
The US Department of Agriculture is the US Federal Executive Department responsible for developing and executing the government’s policy on farming, agriculture, forestry and food.
It was set up to meet the needs of farmers and ranchers, promote agricultural trade and production, work to assure food safety and protect natural resources.
The Department is to foster rural communities and end hunger in the United States and internationally.
