Politics › Danbaba Suntai To Be Replaced As Taraba State Governor . by slinkky(op): 11:19pm On May 27, 2013
Two top level political sources in Taraba State have told SaharaReporters that the days of Danbaba Suntai as governor of the state may be numbered. “Alhaji Danbaba Suntai will be replaced soon,” said one of the sources.

As a first step towards Mr. Suntai’s removal, the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today inaugurated a committee to determine the status of his office.

Mr. Suntai was seriously injured in October, 2012 when a small plane he was piloting from Jalingo crashed near the airport in Yola, the capital of Adamawa. The governor was trying to land the aircraft at the time of the accident.

Speaking to members of the seven-man committee in Abuja on Monday, the PDP’s national chairman, Bamanga Tukur, said the party decided to intervene in order to resolve the political situation created by Mr. Suntai’s accident. One of the tasks given to the committee was to discover and report the political repercussions among key stakeholders of the governor’s sickness and absence.

“Interact and establish the most effective approach to reduce to the barest minimum, the fears of all the contending interest in Taraba State,” Mr. Tukur told the committee members.

The PDP chairman added: “Fast track the process of constitutional adherence as it affects the current status of the office of the governor of Taraba State.

“Ensure that in all practical implications, the PDP Taraba emerge stronger and more united in responding to all the partisan challenges arising thereafter in the state.

“Consider and report any other matter that is, in the opinion of this committee, relevant in the resolution of the political condition of the state.”

Members of the committee are Hope Uzodinma, Ahmed Gulak, Shittu Mohammed, Bala Buhari, Richard King, Bolajoko Doherty, and Abubakar Garda, who is serving as secretary.

Following the plane crash, Mr. Suntai was briefly treated at the National Hospital, Abuja before being flown to Germany for continued urgent treatment. Despite efforts by PDP officials to paint a rosy picture of Mr. Suntai’s recovery, SaharaReporters revealed that the governor had suffered significant brain damage that rendered him incapable of recognizing visitors, including members of his family.

“Some of us told the leadership of our great party in Abuja that we cannot go on telling ourselves lies about the condition of Alhaji Suntai,” said one of our sources. “They now realized that what we’re saying is true. That’s why the committee has been set up,” he added.

Mr. Suntai was moved to the US and is being treated at undisclosed hospital in the East Coast. A source said the governor’s brain impairment remains a serious issue.

Mr. Tukur asked the committee to submit its report within two weeks.

Politics › Secondary School Drop Out Consults For Teaching Hospital. by slinkky(op): 1:46pm On Mar 27, 2013
The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has
arrested a 25-year-old man, Usen
Effiong, for posing as a medical
doctor and consulting for the
University of Uyo Teaching Hospital
for more than two months.
The State Police Command Public
Relations Officer, Mr. Etim Dickson,
said Effiong, an indigene of Ukot
Usung Itam, in Itu Local
Government Area was caught based
on intelligence report from the
UUTH.
He said, "The police arrested
Effiong in the University of Uyo
Teaching Hospital impersonating a
medical doctor.
"The Chairman, Nigerian Medical
Association, Akwa Ibom State
branch, Dr. John Udobang denied
ever knowing the young man. He is
not a member of the association."
He said the police had investigated
Effiong and found out that he was
actually impersonating a medical
doctor, adding that the law would
take its course.
Udobang told PUNCH Metro that he
received a call from the Dean of
the Faculty of Clinical Sciences,
UUTH, Dr. Sunday Udo on the
activities of Effiong.
He said, "Udo told me that they
caught someone who has not
finished secondary school parading
himself as a consultant in the
teaching hospital as a medical
doctor."
Udobang explained that he went to
the teaching hospital where he
interviewed the suspect and found
him with stethoscope and
sphygmomanometer (blood
pressure apparatus).
He said, "We also found some
prescriptions and forms that he
wanted to fill to become a member
of the association of resident
doctors"
"Later, when they went to look for
him, he was found in the doctor's
consulting room eating.
"He has confessed that he is not a
doctor, and has not finished his
school certificate, and has been
coming there to consult in the last
two months."
Asked how it was possible for an SS
II dropout to be consulting in a
teaching hospital, Udobang replied
that people used to see him but
did not know his intention.
He said, "The Dean whose table he
was sitting on used to see him and
thought he was a medical student
or a newly employed doctor that
he has not known.
"It was after one of the younger
doctors saw him and asked the
Dean who he was that they started
investigating him."

Politics › CBN Governor. Why I Won't Seek Second Term by slinkky(op): 8:12am On Mar 27, 2013
Why I Won’t Seek A Second Term
– Sanusi
Wed, 27/03/2013 - 6:57am | NSE
ANTHONY-UKO
The governor of Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN), Mallam Sanusi
Lamido Sanusi has said that he
does not plan to vie for a second
term as governor of the CBN
because the job he set out to do is
already largely done.
Sanusi said that he had intimated
President Goodluck Jonathan way
back in 2011 that he would not be
interested in seeking second term
in office on the expiration of the
present tenure in June 2014.
“I informed the president going
back to 2011 that I would not be
interested in serving for two
terms,” Sanusi told Bloomberg
adding that ``the job has been
done, largely’’.
The apex bank governor who re-
echoed his stance on second term
in a chat with Bloomberg on March
24, 2013 in Lagos, stated
categorically that he would not
seek renewal of tenure as he
considers a single term enough to
make a lasting positive impact in
the financial system and the
economy in general.
Sanusi also said that he supported
keeping monetary policy rate (MPR)
which serves as the benchmark
interest rate on hold at 12 per cent
to contain inflation in Africa’s top-
oil producing nation as policy
makers increasingly opt for a cut.
“My own inclination is to just hold
and just continue doing what we’re
doing, because it has worked very
well. But I’m only one vote in the
monetary policy committee. The
votes to ease are beginning to
increase,” Sanusi said.
Sanusi, who leads the 12-member
MPC, left the key rate unchanged
at a record 12 per cent for a ninth
meeting last week to help bolster
the naira and keep inflation under
10 per cent.
Three members voted for a
reduction, up from two in January,
to support the economy. Policy
makers have so far rejected calls
from businesses and the
government to lower borrowing
costs.
“But I’m only one vote in the
monetary policy committee and as
you can see, the votes to ease are
beginning to increase.”
The CBN governor further
cautioned on the quest for low
interest rate saying “the impact of
interest rates below inflation could
be horrendous for economic
stability, so in the short term the
country has to live with high
rates.”
Economic growth slowed to 6.6
percent in 2012 from 7.4 percent
a year earlier, hurt by a
contraction in the oil industry,
Sanusi said, citing the National
Bureau of Statistics. The economy
will probably expand 6.8 percent
this year, according to the bureau.
Inflation may slow to below 9
percent in March and will probably
remain between 9 and 11 percent
this year, Sanusi said.
“Our own forecasts don’t show us
getting back to the kind of 12
percent to 13 percent levels we saw
last year,” he said.
“Inflation is where we’d like it to
be.” The central bank manages the
naira to help keep inflation under
control. It sells foreign currency at
auctions on Mondays and
Wednesdays to keep the naira
within a band of 3 percent above
or below N155 per dollar.
“Unless there’s some major
external shock, the foreign-
currency market looks to me one in
which we can have stability,”
Sanusi said. The bank has enough
reserves to defend the naira and
“keep it where we want,” he said.
The House of Representatives
passed a resolution on February 20
ordering its committee on banking
and currency to request the central
bank to lower its policy rate to
below 10 percent to encourage
borrowing and investment. Finance
minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said
in July that record high interest
rates pushed up commercial bank
rates to about 20 percent and were
making it difficult for businesses to
borrow.
“Who knows?” Sanusi said. “Maybe
the next MPC there might be four
or five, and so my own deputy
governors might vote against me as
they’ve done before.”

Politics › Anenih Others Beg Lamido Not To Leave PDP by slinkky(op): 7:07am On Mar 26, 2013
Anenih, Others Beg Lamido To
Rescue PDP From Collapse
Tue, 26/03/2013 - 2:36am |
SURAJO MUHAMMAD
The chairman, Peoples Democratic
Party’s Board of Trustees (BoT),
Chief Tony Anenih has urged
Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa
State to use his connection and
political experience to rescue the
party which is facing its most
difficult period from collapse.
He said people like Governor
Lamido had vital role to play in
tackling the challenges militating
against the party and begged him to
come on board to achieve the
desired goals.
“You are an important stakeholder,
and you have moral responsibility
not to allow the party to lose its
glory in this critical period,” he
said.
The BoT chairman made the plea
yesterday during a courtesy visit to
the governor at the Jigawa State
Government House.
Chief Anenih who was accompanied
by top members of the PDP said
they were in the state as part of
their nation wide tour to find a
lasting solution to the crisis
bedeviling the party.
“The challenges we have now in the
party made me feel that I needed
you more than ever”, declared
Anenih.
He said contrary to a publication in
one of the national dailies that
Lamido had been hobnobbing with
the opposition parties, “I know the
Sule I know would not do so even
on the face of the firing squad, he
is a person that I know that stays
where he has the conviction that it
is the right place to be.”
Anenih assured Sule Lamido that
even as his support is paramount
at this crucial time, “we do not use
people and dump them.”
In his remarks, Governor Sule
Lamido said, PDP was the only
political party with the capacity to
maintain the existence of Nigeria as
a single entity, therefore they
cannot take the risk of allowing the
country to be in the hands of the
smaller political parties.
Others in Chief Tony Anenih’s
entourage include the secretary
BoT, Senator Wali Jibrin, Barnabas
Gemade, Ahmadu Ali, Senator Ken
Nnamani, Hassan Halliru, Chief
Ebenezer Babatope and Air Vice
Marshal Larry Konya.
