Politics › Rep Watches As Aides Assault FRSC Official by simongonner(op): 7:00am On Jun 02, 2012
A Member of the House of Reps, Ibrahim Olaifa, yesterday watched on as his aides beat up an official of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) Jerry B. Jediel to a pulp. Jediel was said to have tried to clamp the tyre of the lawmaker’s Toyota Camry (V6 2011 model) which was wrongly parked at the National Assembly. The incident caused pandemonium within the National Assembly complex as staffers and visitors alike ran for safety, thinking it was a bomb scare.

Jediel managed to free himself from his assaulters and fled into the lobby of the building which houses the Senate and House chambers, in search of refuge from policemen, shouting “Help” repeatedly, even as Rep Olaifa and his aides chased him further. The lawmaker’s aides eventually got him and manhandled him, tearing off the emblem on his uniform in the process. He was later rescued by police officers.

Rep Olaifa did not answer calls after the incident, but replied a text message sent to him saying, “Better be sure of your facts. If you write rubbish about me, I will go to court, I will sue you, I will sue your paper. Publish what you like, we will meet in court.”

House spokesman Zakari Mohammed declined to comment on the issue as he was yet to speak with Speaker Aminu Waziri Tambuwal. It would be recalled that in the last House, a Member, Chinyere Igwe slapped a sergeant-at-arms for asking for an his identity card.

Politics › Why Is Africa The Poorest On Earth Despite Been The Most Religious? by simongonner(op): 6:13pm On May 30, 2012
Isn't it quite
strange that Africa, the poorest
continent on the face of this
planet is also the most religious...?
I wonder how many have
considered this..It seems god
rewards the religious with
poverty.The fake pastors and
Imams don't have to worry about
poverty, as they can rely on the
tithes and zakat of their sheep like
followers...
Everyone wants to pray away a
problem, instead of getting up to
do something about it.....

Crime › Crisis Rocks Buhari’s Party by simongonner(op): 7:35am On May 25, 2012
Crisis erupted in the Congress for
Progressive Change yesterday
when factional state chairmen
announced the expulsion of
national chairman Prince Tony
Momoh and secretary Buba
Galadima over alleged
inexperienced, high handedness
and corruption.
The chairmen met in Abuja at a
location near the national
headquarters of the CPC, where
they also dissolved the national
executive committee and
expelled former board of
trustees member Sule Yahaya
Hamma and Alhaji Mustapha
Salihu.
But spokesman for the party
Rotimi Fashakin dismissed the
expulsions, saying they were
instigated by the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and
executed by people who were
paid N100,000 each to
destabilise the CPC.
The committee of chairmen of
state chapters of the CPC, in a
statement at the end of a week-
long series of meetings in Abuja,
passed a vote of no confidence
in the Momoh-led national
executive.
The statement was jointly signed
by 31 members and presented to
journalists by the Enugu state
chapter chairmanBarrister Emeka
Okafor.
The chairmen accused the
Momoh-led exco of being
responsible for the party’s poor
outing in the 2011 elections.
They claimed that party leader
General Muhammadu Buhari
would be happy with the
decision to oust the national
leaders.
“A vote of total loss of confidence
in the management committee
and the National Executive
Committee of the party is hereby
unanimously passed on them.
Gen. Buhari will have a sound
sleep today, they have carpeted
him, regionalised the party and
created a gap between Gen.
Buhari and the people,” Okafor
said.
He accused Galadima of
sabotaging the party’s effort to
unseat the PDP. “Galadima will
speak on behalf of the CPC during
the day on the BBC and other
media and later go to Aso Rock
Villa in the evening. He was at
Aso Rock even on the
presidential election day,” he
said.
Asked about the legality of their
action, Okafor said that the same
committee in January 2010
elected the NEC, and it has two-
thirds majority to legitimise its
actions.
He said all party members
previously suspended or expelled
have been pardoned and recalled
into the party, and that all
caretaker committees appointed
by Galadima in some states were
dissolved.
But Okafor said the Nasir El-
Rufai-led renewal committee
should proceed with its job and
move fast in holding alliance/
merger talks with other
opposition parties.
Those at the meeting include
Shehu Yahaya (Zamfara), Zannah
Shettima (Borno), Nasir Ahmad
(Jigawa), Victor Anyanwu (Imo),
Shehu Barau Ningi (Bauchi),
Shehu Nafuntua (Niger),
Abdulkadir Hafatu (Zamfara),
Musa Haruna Gama (Kano),
Charles Okoh (Ebonyi), Peter
Eloma (Abia), Chuna Ikeagwu
(Anambra), Muhammed Lawal El-
Yakub (Nasarawa), Meke Nwoloh
(Rivers) and Edward Ofomota
(Delta).
Others were Senator Ahmad Sani
Stores who was removed from
the Senate after a Supreme Court
ruling, Chief Ako Atuloman from
Abia, Auwal Salihu from Bauchi
and Muhammed Tukur Sada, who
lost his Katsina House of
Representatives seat to a court
judgement.
On Tuesday, CPC spokesman
Fashakin had said the PDP was
planning to cause disaffection
and confusion in the CPC.
In his reaction yesterday, he told
Daily Trust: “This is not
surprising at all. Precisely two
days ago, we alerted the whole
nation about this move by the
PDP. The PDP-led Federal
Government is providing all the
logistics for this infamy.
“It is indeed our season of
anomie. There is nothing to
worry about their actions that
have no authority under our
party’s constitution. Where did
that assembly derive its power to
sack a constituted executive
committee?”
He said the plot by PDP was to
use a renegade CPC group led by
former national chairman Rufai
Hanga to spark crisis in the party.
But Hanga’s aide, Mr. Dennis
Aghanya, told Daily Trust
yesterday that Hanga was not
part of the meeting of yesterday
though he was aware of it. “The
pro tem state chairmen under
the national leadership of
Senator Hanga pro tem NEC are
meeting in Abuja on their own
initiative to chart the way
forward for the party,” Aghanya,
a former spokesman for CPC,
said.

simon gonner: Former Senate President
Ken Nnamani said
yesterday that General
Muhamadu Buhari only
called for free and fair elections
in the country and not
bloodshed.
Nnamani said this in an interview
with newsmen in Abuja.
He said based on his
understanding of the statement
credited to Buhari, the former
head of state was not boisterous
in his comment.
The former senate president
urged well-meaning Nigerians
not to take undue advantage of
developments to create tension
in the country, saying opinions
such as Buhari’s should be taken
objectively.
“The way I understood him I
don’t think he was being too
boisterous because our people
responded to that in a way that
seemed like he was calling for
blood to flow; I didn’t
understand him that way.
“The way I understood the
statement is that if it’s not free
and fair it might spell doom for
the country, is a kind of
prediction but he’s not calling for
blood ,” he said (NAN)

Sports › Peru 1-0 Nigeria by simongonner(op): 7:48am On May 24, 2012
Peru defeated Nigeria by a lone
goal in an international friendly
played at the Estadio Nacional,
Lima on Thursday.
Hamburg’s Paolo Guerrero
scored the only goal of the
encounter in the 37th minute.
Nigeria had encountered a
number of problems on their
way to Lima for this encounter
and were not expected to put up
much opposition to their hosts
who also had advantage of
altitude working for them.

Preview: Peru - Nigeria
Nigeria arrive Peru after two

Airline drug bust halts
Nigeria's flight to Peru
It wasn't a surprising line-up
fielded by coach Stephen Keshi
who left his five foreign-based
players on the bench as he kept
faith with his home-based team
that played against Egypt in April.
Peru started the more confident
side as they sent in long balls in
attempts to trouble the visitors
but the front line led by Claudio
Pizarro and Guerrero could not
hit the target.
This gave the Eagles some
confidence as they began to have
more time on the ball in midfield
where Gabriel Reuben and Ejike
Uzoenyi held their ground
against their more established
opponents.
This enabled front man Kalu Uche
to attempt runs against the
Peruvian defence but he was cut
off in the final third.
The first shot on goal in the
game came from Jefferson Farfan
whose free kick from 25 yards
was palmed for a corner kick by
Chigozie Agbim.
The Blanquirroja’s breakthrough
finally came on 37 minutes from
a counter attack as Guerrero’s
right-footed low shot into
Agbim’s far side gave the hosts
the lead.
The Peruvians had two quick
efforts to increase the tally but
failed to find target.
Nigeria missed her own chance
of going equal when Kalu Uche’s
header off an Uzoenyi corner
kick hit the goalkeeper’s back.
The second half saw Peru make
three changes as Guevara,
Ampuero and Alvarez came on
for Lobaton, Yoshimar and
Galliquio.
Nigeria also made changes as
Nwankwo Obiorah and Nnamdi
Oduamadi came on for the duo
of Gabriel and Uzoenyi.
Azubuike Egwueke and Guerrero
got into a scuffle when tempers
flared as the game wore on.
However, it was the visitors who
had the upper hand in the
second period as they searched
for an equaliser.
Keshi’s addition of Raheem
Lawal, Gege Soriola and Sunday
Mba helped to change the
complexion of the game as the
Eagles edged possession but
could not find the needed
opportunity to stun their hosts.
Oduamadi on the left wing kept
the Blanquirroja on the defensive
but his final ball could not find
the needed connection to break
the hosts’ defence.
Guerrero almost gave his side
another goal from almost the
same situation where he
notched the first goal but Agbim
got a hand to the ball to give
away a corner kick.
Nigeria will take the confidence
gained from the encounter into
their 2014 World Cup
qualification match against
Namibia on June 3 in Calabar.
