Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA, on Sunday morning did not take the sermon.

He, therefore, declared prayers at Abuja chapter.

This is following protest asking Pastor Fatoyinbo to step down over the rape allegations by Timi Dakolo’s wife, Busola

Busola, the wife of popular singer, Timi Dakolo had alleged that the COZA founder had forcefully raped her when she was young.

The mother-of-three narrated how Pastor Fatoyinbo allegedly forced his way into her when she was a teenager.

Fatoyinbo, who earlier, denied the allegation, on Sunday morning said the elders of the church are on the issue.

He further instructed members of the church not to be violent and stir up prayers.

Fatoyinbo also cancelled the proposed ‘Seven Days of Glory” conference slated for 1st till July 7th in COZA.

“Thank you my members for your support. I’m the most blessed Pastor in the world.

“It took me a longtime to get here today, I dint like what I saw outside this is not what I want to put my members through

Former Senate President Bukola Saraki says the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, visited him in 2016 and begged him to ensure that he was confirmed by the Senate.

Saraki added that he explained to Magu that the Department of State Services had written a letter to the upper chamber of the National Assembly accusing the EFCC boss of corruption and being unfit to hold the office and thus should not be confirmed.

Saraki’s letter was written in response to a previous letter written by the EFCC to the chief judge.

The EFCC in a letter sent to Abdu-Kafarati, on May 21, accused Justice Taiwo Taiwo of being biased against it.

However, in a protest letter signed by Magu, the EFCC requested the re-assignment of the two ex-governors’ cases and all other ones involving it in the judge’s docket to another judge of the court.

In his own letter, however, Saraki said the EFCC was after him because Magu believed he had a hand in his confirmation.

The letter read in part, “Your Lordship, Mr. Magu after his nomination, came to see me pleading that I should do my best to help him during the screening process. During that meeting, I made it clear that I had no objection to his nomination and revealed to him, in confidence that he needed to go and clear himself with the DSS because the report on him was unfavourable.

“In fact, I bent backwards to let him read the content of the indicting security report submitted on him.

Also, I decided to delay the screening to give him ample time to get the DSS to change the report. As it eventually turned out, he was unable to get the adverse DSS report reversed.”

He said the DSS actually sent two reports against Magu and it was the belief of the agency that confirming the nomination of such a man would be inimical to the war against corruption.

The former Senate President wrote, “My Lord, Mr. Magu is after me because he feels that as the President of the 8th Senate, I was responsible for the non-confirmation of his appointment, whereas the reason his appointment was not confirmed is all too familiar: an agency of the executive, which nominated him, the DSS, sent two reports to the Senate in which it categorically stated that Magu failed the integrity test, that his confirmation would shackle the EFCC from effectively tackling corruption in the country and hampering the anti-corruption drive of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.”

He said it was in a bid to ensure transparency that the Senate allowed Magu’s screening to be aired live on television.

Saraki, who was governor of Kwara State from 2003 to 2011, urged the CJ to ignore the EFCC’s request even as he added that all the allegations levelled against him were not different from the charges filed before the Code of Conduct Tribunal which were quashed by the Supreme Court.

The former Senate President said it was funny that of all the agencies which were restrained by the court, it was only the EFCC that was attacking a judicial officer for doing his job among the six defendants goes to show that the commission and its leadership are “unnecessarily mischievous, pugnacious and overzealous.”

He therefore asked the CJ to ignore the EFCC’s petition

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has said it does not regulate how pastors operate their churches.

CAN President, Rev. Supo Ayokunle said this while reacting to the latest allegations by wife of popular musician, Timi Dakolo, Busola, against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, founder of COZA.

Busola had alleged that the COZA founder had forcefully raped her when she was young.

The mother-of-three narrated how Pastor Fatoyinbo allegedly forced his way into her when she was just 18 years.

In a swift reaction, Fatoyinbo denied the allegation, though admitted Busola once attended the same church with his family.

Fatoyinbo, consequently ordered his lawyers to institute both criminal and civil case against Busola.

Reacting to the saga, Ayodele’s Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Pastor Oladeji Adebayo, said CAN does not regulates how pastors operate.

Speaking with Telegraph on the matter, Adebayo said the body neither regulates nor intervene in the running of churches.

He said: “I am sorry CAN does not intervene in how churches are running. Churches belong to denominations and these are the two bodies that regulate how pastors run their ministries, not CAN. CAN deals with intrareligious matters and stands between the church and the government.”

The Presidency on Friday explained that the establishment of Ruga settlements is not being supervised by the Office of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, contrary to claims reported in sections of the media.

The Ruga initiative, according to a statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and publicity, Laolu Akande, is different from the National Livestock Transformation Plan approved by State governors under the National Economic Council (NEC) chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

He said that NEC on January 17, 2019, approved the plan based on the recommendations of a Technical Committee of the Council chaired by Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State, with State Governors of Adamawa, Kaduna, Benue, Taraba, Edo, Plateau, Oyo & Zamfara as members.

Laolu said “The National Livestock Transformation Plan (NLTP) 2019-2028 is a programme to be implemented in 7 pilot states of Adamawa, Benue, Kaduna, Plateau, Nasarawa, Taraba and Zamfara (as decided by NEC in January), being States in the front-lines of the Farmer-Herder crises. Afterwards, six other States have indicated readiness to also implement the plan. They are Katsina, Kano, Kogi, Kwara, Ondo, and Edo states.

“The plan has six pillars through which it aims to transform the livestock production system in Nigeria along market oriented value chain while ensuring an atmosphere of peace and justice.

“The six key pillars include:

Economic investment
Conflict resolution
Justice and peace
Humanitarian relief and early recovery
Human capital development and

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has told a Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos State that it was yet to receive briefings as to the ways to go since the trial of immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, was transferred
from Justice Mojisola Olatoregun, to Justice Chukwujekwu Joseph Aneke.

The EFCC counsel, S. A. Obafemi, on Thursday, opposed the re-arraignment of Fayose by reading the charges preferred against him, noting that “Since the matter was transferred, we are yet to hear from the EFCC on the way forward. We apologize to the court. That is the predicament we found ourselves.

“At this point, we ourselves, we are handicapped as to the way forward in this matter. We urge the court to give us another date for the defendants to be arraign properly.”

While giving further reasons the matter should be adjourned, the EFCC counsel said “the information we gathered is to the effect that the 1st defendant is still being investigated for further matters. The leading counsel, Rotimi Jacobs (SAN) has not been directed on the ways to go, that’s why he is not in court today.”

Justice Aneke, however, responded; “So I will just be here, waiting for EFCC to give directive when the matter is already before me? I don’t take directive from EFCC.”

In his response, Counsel to Fayose, Ola Olanipekun (SAN), said, “We are taken aback that the prosecution is now saying it is not ready and in the interest of justice, these defendants cannot be on trial perpetually.

Olanipekun said the EFCC, which he described as nominal complainant in the matter, started investigating this case before the expiration of Fayose’s tenure as governor.

“Their activities were so disturbing of the official functions of the defendant that he had to write the EFCC that he will make himself available the very day he leaves office, and he so did,” he pointed out.

He added that the EFCC had not given any cogent reason why the trial should not go on.

Counsel to the second defendant, Olalekan Ojo (SAN) wondered why defendants who have been charged to court will have their arraignment postponed because other cases are being investigated.

“This is absurd. These alleged new cases were being investigated before they was arraigned before Hon. Justice Olatoregun. If it was competent for the defendants to be arraigned then, what stops it now?

The judge, however, adjourned the matter till July 2, 2019, citing the interest of justice, considering the non-presence of EFCC lead counsel, Rotimi Jacobs.

Earlier, the defense counsel had withdrawn the application objecting the transfer of the case to the new court by the Chief Judge of Federal High Court, Justice Adamu Abdul-Kafarati, owing to a petition against the trial judge, Justice Olatoregun by the EFCC.

Withdrawing the application, Olapenikun said; “we have no preference whatsoever for any particular judge before whom this case should be tried.

“Our concern is purely for the rule of law and this should not be cited as authority that the Chief Judge can transfer any criminal matter that is already being tried.”

In his own submission; Olalekan Ojo, said “the administrative decision of the Chief Judge, with all due respect, is an example per-excellence of a rape on the rule of law.

“It is a very sad precedent in the administration of criminal justice in Nigeria.

“The Chief Judge is acquainted with the law and what he has done is illegality and unconstitutionality. The defendants have been foisted with a situation of total helplessness.

“Even if this application is decided in our favour, it will not be of any meaningful benefit to the defendants. The EFCC has gotten from the back door, what it couldn’t have gotten thru the due process of law.”

Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has approved the appointment of Mr. Oluwadare Aragbaiye as the new Head of Service, HOS, of the Ondo State Public Service.

Aragbaiye’s appointment is coming amid the controversy surrounding the alleged “premature” sack of nine permanent secretaries from the state’s public service.

Some weeks back, the affected senior civil servants had cried out over what they described as their unjust sack from the civil service, with allegations that the move was an attempt to pave way for the anointed kinsman of the governor, Aragbaiye to become the next Head of Service of the state.

Aragbaiye is from the same Owo Local Government Area of the state with the governor and as well hailed from the same Owo town.

According to some of them, the action of the state governor, Olawarotimi Akeredolu, is unlawful as they are yet to attain the mandatory 35 years in service or the 60-year-old retirement, age.

However, in its reaction against the allegations raised by the affected Permanent Secretaries, the state government had stated that the decision to retire the nine Permanent Secretaries from the state’s civil service was borne out of measures to pave way for young officers to rise to the peak of their careers.

According to the state’s Commissioner for Information, Yemi Olowolabi, their retirement had no political undertone, as he stressed that some of the nine Permanent Secretaries had spent 13 years in office, while the least among them is nine years.

Meanwhile, according to the statement issued on Friday by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor, Segun Ajiboye and obtained by DAILY POST, he stated that the appointment of Aragbaiye as the new HOS by the Akeredolu, “is in line with the provisions of Section 208, Sub-section 3 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended.”

He added that with the new Head of Service, “Governor Akeredolu is convinced that he (Aragbaiye) will provide the right leadership for the state public service to complement the efforts of the administration to reposition the public service.”

Prior to his appointment as Head of Service, Aragbaiye was the Permanent Secretary, Government House and Protocol.

He joined the state public service in 1985 as an Administrative Officer, Grade Level 08 in the Ministry of Finance.

He has also once served as Permanent Secretary in the Ministries of General Administration and Transport.

The new Head of Service will be sworn-in at on Monday at the International Events and Cultural Center (The Dome), Akure, the Ondo State capital.

A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Bwari has voided the charge brought against the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila by a political party, the African Peoples Party(APP) and one other before the Grade 1 Area Court, Karishi, Abuja.

The Area Court subsequently summoned Gbajabiamila based on the claimed by the applicants, a decision the House of Reps Speaker challenged before the High Court of the FCT, via an application for judicial review, for an order of certiorari, brought pursuant to section 12 of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja Area Courts Act, 2010, Order 44 Rule (A) and (2) of the High Court of the FCT Rules 2018.
Based on Gbajabiamila’s application, Justice Othman Musa of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Bwari ordered a stay of the order by the Area Court and the transfer of all previous proceedinsg in the case to his court for review.

“The lower court acted recklessly in a matter it has no jurisdiction to do so,” Justice Musa held.

In the suit marked: FCT/HC/BW/M/267/19, the judge further held that the allegation of disciplinary proceedings levelled against Mr. Gbajabiamila does not amount to a criminal conviction by a court of law.

Consequently, the court declared the proceedings and decisions of the Grade 1 Area Court of May 30, 2019, are a “unconstitutional, ultra vires, null and void.”

While delivering the verdict, Justice said if a false information was given by Gbajabiamila in the course of filing out his INEC Form CF001 as alleged by the respondents, a criminal charge ought to have been filed against the Speaker at either the Federal High Court or the FCT High Court as prescribed by the Electoral Act as amended.

“The 1st respondent (APP) is not a legal officer of INEC. Criminal matters are only enforceable by a law enforcement agency. I so hold,” the judge said.

Citing the Supreme Court of Nigeria in the case of Amaechi Versus INEC 2008, Justice Musa averred that an indictment by a mere disciplinary committee or commission that is not a court of law recognised by the constitution does not amount to a criminal conviction.

“The order of 26 February, 2007 of the State Bar of Georgia, United States of America against Hon Gbajabiamila does not amount to a criminal offence known by any Nigerian law.

“I therefore, hold the view that the direct criminal complaint against Gbajabiamila was misconceived.

“Having dutifully combed through all the facts and the laws that have been presented before the court, and having soberly reflected on the robust arguments of counsel in the matter, I am satisfied that the reliefs of the application (Gbajabiamila) are granted.

“Consequently, an order is hereby made nullifying the entire proceedings of the Grade 1 Area Court, Karishi, Abuja. The charges in suit no: CR/349/2019 and Motion No: M/19/2019 between African Peoples Party (APP) Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila are hereby quashed,” Justice Musa said.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday said the reckless dismissal of the alarming spate of kidnapping in the country by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo further confirms that the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration has no iota of concern towards the pain and suffering of Nigerians.

PDP said by attempting to play down on the menace as not being “as massive as that”, Osinbajo clearly demonstrates that the APC and its government are not connected with the people but only pretends towards them during electioneering.

In a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiya, PDP said: “In dismissing the security problem, the Vice President is simply telling victims of kidnapping that as far as the APC and its administration are concerned, they have not suffered enough.

“Such anti-people disposition, as being witnessed under the APC, can only come from an uncaring and insensitive administration that does not have the mandate of the people.

“It is therefore unfortunate that instead of being remorseful and seeking solutions, Prof. Osinbajo is rather playing on the sensibility of Nigerians by attempting to justify his comment, which has been widely condemned by citizens from all walks of life.

“Prof. Osinbajo has only succeeded in showcasing President Buhari’s incompetence and failure in securing the nation. He has also ridiculed his office in the eye of the international community, who is well aware of the gravity of kidnapping and other security challenges confronting our nation.

“What has Prof. Osinbajo said to the families whose breadwinners have been killed by kidnappers and many more who are still languishing in kidnappers den?

“When will the problem of kidnapping become “massive” for the APC administration when medical doctors, community heads, faith-based leaders, government officials and their relations, students, innocent
school children, pregnant women and even expatriates are being kidnapped in various parts of the country?

“While our party and indeed millions of Nigerians appreciate the efforts by our security operatives in fighting this menace, despite the operational challenges imposed on them by the incompetent APC administration, the PDP insists that President Buhari must bear the blame for the persistence of the security problems.

“This is the reason Nigerians, at the 2019 general election, preferred a more capable and patriotic leader in Atiku Abubakar, who had already set out an operable blueprint to frontally confront and address the security challenges facing our nation without resorting to unnecessary blame game.”

The Borno National and State Houses of Assembly elections petition tribunal, on Wednesday , fixed July 1, for the Independent National Electoral Commission to open its case in a suit challenging the election of Sen. Mohammed Ndume.

Malam Kudla Satumari and his party, the PDP on March 15, filed a petition with number EPT/BO/SEN/1/2019 before the tribunal.

They are challenging the declaration of Ndume of the All Progressive Congress (APC) as winner of the Borno South Senatorial District conducted on Feb. 23, 2019.

APC and INEC were also joined in the suit.

Ndume and APC had objected to the issues raised by Satumari and PDP in their replies to their own reply to the petition.

Justice Peter Kekemeke, Chairman of the tribunal, granted the prayer for adjournment by Mr Oluwafemi Ademola, counsel for INEC to enable their witnesses travel from Maiduguri to Abuja.

Kelemeke adjourned until July 1 as other counsel did not object to the prayer.

Although ,INEC tendered their exhibits in evidence from the bar, however, Ademola (INEC counsel), informed the tribunal that his sole witness would be available on July 1.
Meanwhile, Ndume has closed his case, while APC did not call any witness but informed the tribunal that they would rely on the evidence of Ndume (The first respondent).

In the petition made available to NAN, Satumari averred that the election was marred by corrupt practices and non-compliance with provision of the Electoral Act.

He, therefore, sought the order of the tribunal for cancellation of the election and for INEC to conduct fresh election for the Senatorial District within 90 days.

Responding, Ndume in his reply to the petition made avaliable to NAN also, denied the allegations in most of the paragraphs of the petition.

In his reply filed on April 10, he argued that the said Borno South Senatorial election was free and fair and not fraught with irregularities and non- compliance with the Electoral Act..

Ndume denied the allegations and averrment contained in the petition and demanded the petitioners for strict proof in accordance with the law to the extent of their materiality to the petition.

He averred to prove during trial that the petition was defective, incompetent for the compliance of the Electoral Act

A Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, Hon. John Halims Agoda, Wednesday, described the attack on Deputy Senate President, Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege’s choices of media aides, as myopic, lacking in knowledge and exposure.

Agoda who is the 2019, House of Representative candidate, Ethiope Federal Constituency under APC, made this statement while reacting to publications in national dailies, credited to Mr. Fred Latimore Oghenesivwe, saying that it is the sole prerogative of the Deputy Senate President, Sen. Omo-Agege to appoint who should be his media aides.

Speaking further, Agoda said, “The Urhobo nation are profoundly grateful to all the senators who elected him as Deputy Senate President and we as Urhobo people have been conferred with participatory inclusiveness in the art of national parliamentary democracy.

“It may interest Mr. Latimore Oghenesivwe to know that former President Goodluck Jonathan and the former Governor of Rivers and Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi had in the past appointed their media aides from Delta state, (Ughelli North and South) and it was never read in pages of newspapers, so, l don’t know what is the business of Latimore Oghenesivwe over who Omo-Agege appoints as his media aides.

“When fate throws up new player of significance in the political realm at the national level, dysfunctional discordant sentiments are spewed by persons in the opposition camps, considering the recent effusive diatribe dripping with hate-tears by persons who believe Omo-Agege should have called a town-hall meeting to deliberate on who to be appointed as media aides.

“This is a misconception and a poverty of knowledge of the fundamentals of national political engagements, as the Deputy Senate President was elected from among senators and by senators of equal mandate across the nation. SO, the realms of the functions and authority of Omo-Agege preclude exclusionism as such new roles transcend catering only to his home constituency.

“Therefore, given his new and wider scope of responsibilities to the Nigerian people, Senator Omo-Agege has not by any stretch of the imagination breached any moral, social or political code by looking beyond his district to appoint his support staff as deputy Senate president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

HURIWA blamed government at the center squarely for the “breakdown of law and order characterised by high crime rate and the widening spectre of armed kidnappings, banditry and dare devilish atrocities unleashed by freelance armed hoodlums all across the Country.”

The Rights groups said the “piecemeal approach” adopted by president Buhari whereby the government occasionally embarks on “secretive monologues with only representatives of Fulani ethnicity, cannot deliver the positive and constructive results expected to restore normalcy in the flash points of these incessant armed Fulani attacks.”

HURIWA therefore asked Buhari to adopt a “much more holistic, transparent and open mechanisms such as the convocation of a national security parley whereby credible and transparently chosen leaders of the various communities in Nigeria including the Fulani ethnicity and credible civil rights advocacy groups will meet for at least two days to brainstorm on the most workable panacea to the incessant attacks unleashed by suspected herders targeting farmers just as government must as a matter of legality, must arrest, prosecute and punish all the non-state actors responsible for these intermittent but vicious violence.”

“The Federal government can’t continue with the divide-and-rule approach that it has adopted but must open up to all the communities so a national funding platforms are created to provide palliatives to all the communities affected by the violence unleashed by armed herdsmen just as these flashpoints are located all across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria,” it said.

HURIWA also faulted the discriminatory policy of establishment of settlements for only one ethnic group which offends both the constitution and the land use Act of 1978.

The Rights group said the development of private businesses should be private sector-driven just as it asked the government to approach banks and other funding agencies so credible stakeholders needing bailout to set up farming settlements including herders and farmers. It said they should br assisted with soft loans repayable over a period of time and guaranteed by the Nigerian State.

“This is a much more transparent form of providing funding lifeline than the discriminatory allocation of tax payers money to one ethnicity only because the President is Fulani by biological affinity,” it said.

“The drafters of the constitution were mindful of the harmful effect of government adopting discriminatory policies which informs the decision to insert section 42(1) into the constitution as follows: “A citizen of Nigeria of a particular community, ethnic group, place of origin, sex, religion or political opinion shall not, by reason only that he is such a person:-

“(a) Be subjected either expressly by, or in the practical application of, any law in force in Nigeria or any executive or administrative action of the government, to disabilities or restrictions to which citizens of Nigeria of other communities, ethnic groups, places of origin, sex, religions or political opinions are not made subject; or

“(b) Be accorded either expressly by, or in the practical application of, any law in force in Nigeria or any such executive or administrative action, any privilege or advantage that is not accorded to citizens of Nigeria of other communities, ethnic groups, places of origin, sex, religions or political opinions.”

The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has charged Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to respect the decision of the party in the state concerning the inauguration of the State House of Assembly.

He said this while berating Oshiomhole over his remarks concerning the inauguration of the State House of Assembly.

Obaseki’s charge was contained in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie.

The statement reads: “We read with utter astonishment, a statement credited to the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, with respect to Governor Godwin Obaseki’s alleged role in the inauguration of the Edo State House of Assembly.

“Apart from the fact that he based his conclusion on a totally false and baseless premise, we believe that he could have shown that he does not have a vested interest by simply inquiring from his friend, the governor or any official of the State Working Committee of our party as to what actually transpired.

“His failure to satisfy the basic tenets of natural justice, which makes fair hearing from all sides of a matter mandatory, has clearly exposed his bias on this issue. For the avoidance of doubt, all the decisions relating to the leadership of the Edo State House of Assembly recently elected by the House were taken by the State Working Committee and leaders of the party from across the state.

“In reference to the rule of party supremacy, which our national chairman so eloquently professes, the governor and all party members are obliged to respect the party’s decision, as we expect the national chairman to also do.”

Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has explained why it terminated the services of Intels Nigeria Limited from the eastern ports of Calabar, Delta and Port Harcourt.

The company, co-owned by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, provides comprehensive integrated logistics services for the Nigerian oil and gas industry and has 30 years of experience in port management and support services in shore bases across Nigeria.

The Managing Director of the NPA, Hajia Hadiza Bala Usman, told The Nation that the decision to terminate the services of Intels was informed by the latter’s inability to remit over $140 million to the federal government’s coffers, being the accumulated revenue it generated for a period of time.

“Intels was providing a service of collecting revenue for port operations and they were not remitting as and when due,” she said.

She recalled that after she came on board as NPA MD, she signed “a supplementary agreement which required all revenues generated to be paid into the single treasury account (TSA).”

Usman said Intels, however, reneged on the agreement it had with the NPA and the corporation was left with no option than to cancel the contract outright.

She said: “Following the agreement, Intels has been very difficult in making payments to us. They owe us over $140million that they have not remitted. So, we felt such non-compliance and such level of impunity should not be accepted, hence we issued a notice of termination to them.

“We are going to advertise for a replacement company that would offer such services at a cheaper cost because Intels is charging the Nigerian government 28 percent for revenue collection and typically such commissions are limited to 10-15 percent.

“You hardly see where an agency is charging 28 percent. So, we have issued a notice of termination and we are also going to court to ensure that those monies not credited by Intels are paid back”.

Former National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and erstwhile Vice-Chancellor of the Imo State University (IMSU), Prof Ukachukwu Awuzie, has said that it would be difficult for power to return to the Southwest in 2023 going by power equation in the country.

According to him, even if the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, brings all the money in the world, he would not be the next President as the position will go to Northeast in 2023.

“Before, the Sokoto emblem was ‘Born to rule’; now if you look at the six geo-political zones in the country, the Southwest has served for eight years, South-south six years, put them together it isn14 years, they left Northwest alone another eight years with two years of Yar’Adua, which is 10 years, only one zone out of the three, the Northeast has not gone, North-central has not gone, the Southwest has gone, the South-south has gone, it remains the Southeast.

“Look at the number of years they have gone, South has covered 14 years; North has covered or will cover 10 years when Buhari completes his tenure.

“I don’t think they would allow the West, even if it is Tinubu, let him bring all the money in the world, the President will go to Northeast in 2023,” he said in an interview with Sun newspaper.

On the political situation in the country, Awuzie described it as wobbly, saying that sometimes it seems President Muhammadu Buhari is on holiday and detached from the problems plaguing the country.

He said, “We have a wobbling leadership, sometimes it appears to me that our president is on holidays, he has to take grip of situations.

“We are in a country you cannot go to bed with your two eyes closed, a country you cannot guarantee six hours of light, a country priding itself that we can produce 8,000megawatts when South Africa produces 30,000megawatts, you are talking of 8,000megawatts for a country of 200 million population, I think we have a long way to go.

“What I am saying is that the leadership should be more pragmatic, we must look at harnessing the best; our problem in Nigeria is that we are not using the best to drive both the economy and governance.”
