THE ATIKU SUBSIDY MODEL MAKES SENSE: IT WILL CREATE JOBS, INCREASE PURCHASING POWER AND STRENGTHEN NIGERIA’S OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION SECTOR

BY: SOYOYE AKINYODE SOLOMON

The ongoing debate surrounding former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s proposed petroleum subsidy policy requires an important clarification. Much of the criticism appears to proceed from the assumption that Atiku intends to restore the old subsidy regime under which the Federal Government subsidised imported finished petroleum products.

That interpretation misses the fundamental distinction in the policy being proposed.

Atiku’s proposal is essentially to move government intervention away from subsidising imported finished petroleum products and towards supporting domestic production and refining. In other words, rather than spend enormous public resources subsidising petrol imported into Nigeria, government support would be directed towards crude oil supplied to qualifying local refineries under a transparent, targeted and properly regulated framework.

This distinction changes the economic argument considerably.

FROM CONSUMPTION SUBSIDY TO PRODUCTION SUBSIDY

Nigeria's traditional petroleum subsidy model was essentially consumption-oriented.

Nigeria produced crude oil, exported substantial quantities of that crude, imported refined petroleum products and subsequently spent huge amounts of public resources subsidising the final products for domestic consumers.

That arrangement created an unfortunate economic cycle:

Produce crude → Export crude → Import refined products → Subsidise imported products → Consume locally.

The proposed alternative seeks to restructure the cycle:

Produce crude → Supply Nigerian refineries → Refine in Nigeria → Sell locally → Export surplus refined products.

The difference between these two models is profound.

The first effectively uses Nigerian public resources partly to sustain an import-dependent petroleum economy. The second seeks to use government intervention strategically to stimulate domestic refining capacity and retain a greater proportion of the petroleum value chain within Nigeria.

The idea, therefore, should not simply be described as "bringing back fuel subsidy." It is more accurately understood as an attempt to redirect subsidy from consumption and importation towards domestic production and industrial capacity.

WHY SUBSIDISING CRUDE FOR LOCAL REFINERIES COULD MAKE ECONOMIC SENSE

If properly designed, supplying crude oil to qualifying Nigerian refineries at a preferential price could reduce one of the significant input costs confronting domestic refiners.

Crude oil represents the principal raw material of a refinery. Reducing that input cost—provided the benefit is transmitted through the production chain—could reduce refinery costs and potentially contribute to more competitive ex-refinery and ultimately pump prices.

But the economic significance extends beyond petrol prices.

A credible preferential crude-supply arrangement could provide investors with greater certainty about feedstock availability and pricing. That could improve the commercial attractiveness of establishing additional modular and conventional refineries in Nigeria.

Nigeria consequently begins moving away from merely being a country that produces crude oil towards becoming a country that produces, processes, refines and adds value to its natural resources before consumption or export.

That is industrial policy.

IT COULD STIMULATE MORE REFINERY INVESTMENT

One of the most important potential benefits of this approach is its ability to encourage investment in domestic refining.

Investors considering establishing refineries need reasonable certainty about access to crude oil, pricing, infrastructure, regulation and the market for their products.

A transparent domestic crude-support framework could therefore provide incentives for existing refineries to expand capacity while encouraging new investors to enter the market.

This is particularly important because Nigeria should not build its petroleum future around one or two gigantic refineries alone.

The country needs a competitive ecosystem consisting of large refineries, medium-sized refineries, modular refineries and properly licensed smaller refining operations operating according to environmental, technical and safety standards.

The objective should ultimately be competition.

Ten, twenty or more commercially viable refineries competing for Nigerian and regional markets would be preferable to an industry dominated by a handful of producers.

THE ARTISANAL REFINERY QUESTION

The policy could also provide an opportunity to address the longstanding problem of artisanal refining in the Niger Delta.

The solution cannot simply be allowing environmentally dangerous illegal refining activities to continue. Neither should Nigeria ignore the technical knowledge and entrepreneurial energy that exist within some of these communities.

Government could create pathways through which qualified artisanal operators are organised into cooperatives or companies, trained, licensed, environmentally regulated and incorporated into properly designed modular refinery programmes.

Nigeria has previously considered the integration of artisanal refiners into legitimate domestic refining arrangements.

The principle should therefore be:

Formalise. Train. Finance. License. Regulate. Monitor.

Doing so could transform an environmental and security challenge into an opportunity for employment, entrepreneurship and local industrial development.

STRENGTHENING THE UPSTREAM SECTOR

There is another dimension that deserves attention.

Expansion of domestic refining capacity creates additional domestic demand for Nigerian crude.

That provides greater incentive for investment across the upstream petroleum sector.

As refinery capacity expands, Nigeria will require reliable crude production to feed those facilities while simultaneously maintaining its export commitments.

That means increased attention to exploration, production, pipelines, storage facilities, security and other petroleum infrastructure.

The relationship therefore becomes mutually reinforcing:

More refining capacity → Greater domestic crude demand → Greater incentive for upstream investment → Increased production → Greater refinery utilisation → More refined products.

The latest available regulatory evidence demonstrates why the crude-supply issue is important. The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission reported that although 61.9 million barrels were allocated to domestic refineries in the first quarter of 2026, actual supply was only 28.5 million barrels. The regulator identified pricing gaps between producers and refiners as a major reason for the difference.

A carefully designed production-support policy could therefore address a genuine bottleneck in Nigeria's petroleum value chain.

JOB CREATION AND INDUSTRIALISATION

The employment implications could also be substantial.

Refining does not operate in isolation. A growing domestic refining industry creates direct and indirect economic activities involving engineering, construction, transportation, logistics, storage, petrochemicals, maintenance, fabrication, maritime services, insurance, banking, security and retail distribution.

There would also be opportunities for Nigerian universities, polytechnics and technical institutions to produce specialised manpower for an expanding petroleum-processing economy.

The greatest economic value of crude oil is not necessarily obtained simply by extracting and exporting it.

Value increases as the crude moves through refining, petrochemicals, manufacturing and associated industries.

Nigeria should therefore seek to retain as many stages of that value chain within its economy as commercially possible.

LOWER ENERGY COSTS COULD HELP THE WIDER ECONOMY

The ultimate objective, however, must extend beyond the petroleum industry.

Energy costs affect virtually every sector of the Nigerian economy.

Transporters require fuel. Farmers require transportation and machinery. Manufacturers depend on energy and logistics. Small businesses frequently depend on generators. Food prices incorporate transportation costs. Construction materials must be transported.

Consequently, sustained reductions in petroleum-product costs can potentially transmit benefits across numerous sectors of the economy.

If domestic refining competition and lower production costs eventually translate into lower pump prices, households could experience some relief in transportation and living expenses.

Businesses could similarly experience reductions in logistics and operating costs.

That can contribute to lower inflationary pressure, increased disposable income and improved purchasing power.

The important qualification is that these benefits are not automatic. Government must design the policy so that subsidies granted to producers translate into measurable benefits for consumers rather than merely increasing refinery profit margins.

THE POLICY MUST NOT BECOME ANOTHER SUBSIDY BLACK HOLE

Supporting the principle does not mean ignoring its potential risks.

Nigeria's historical experience with petroleum subsidy demonstrates how easily a legitimate social or economic intervention can become vulnerable to corruption, rent-seeking and fiscal abuse.

A production subsidy must therefore be radically different.

There should be no blank cheque.

Every barrel of subsidised or preferentially priced crude should be traceable from production to refinery.

Participating refineries should disclose the quantity received, quantity processed, products produced and relevant sales information.

The fiscal cost should be explicitly appropriated in the federal budget rather than hidden within the accounts of NNPC or another government institution.

There should also be independent auditing and periodic public disclosure.

Most importantly, participation should be conditional on actual production.

No production, no subsidy.

The subsidy should reward measurable refinery output rather than political connections.

IT MUST ALSO BE COMPETITIVE

Government must avoid creating another distortion while attempting to correct the previous one.

Preferential crude must not become an instrument for creating private monopolies.

Any refinery satisfying clearly established technical, environmental, financial and production requirements should have an opportunity to participate.

There should also be mechanisms preventing beneficiaries from obtaining subsidised Nigerian crude only to export it without delivering the intended domestic economic benefits.

The framework must establish measurable objectives relating to domestic supply, production capacity, consumer benefits and value addition.

A SUNSET CLAUSE IS ESSENTIAL

Production subsidies should not necessarily continue forever.

Their purpose should be to help Nigeria overcome structural weaknesses in domestic refining and accelerate investment until the sector achieves sufficient scale and competitiveness.

The programme should therefore have periodic reviews and a clearly defined pathway for reducing government support as refining capacity, competition and efficiency improve.

The ultimate destination should remain a competitive petroleum market capable of functioning efficiently without permanent government subsidy.

NIGERIA SHOULD SUBSIDISE PRODUCTION, NOT IMPORT DEPENDENCE

This is perhaps the strongest philosophical argument behind the Atiku model.

If government must intervene in an important strategic industry, the intervention should preferably strengthen domestic productive capacity.

Nigeria cannot sustainably build prosperity by exporting raw materials, importing finished products and subsidising their consumption.

Our economic policy should increasingly encourage:

Production over importation.

Manufacturing over consumption.

Value addition over raw-material export.

Employment creation over exporting jobs abroad.

Domestic industrial capacity over permanent import dependence.

That is why the proposed subsidy model deserves serious consideration rather than being dismissed as simply a return to the old petrol subsidy regime.

CONCLUSION

The debate should therefore not be reduced to whether Nigeria should "bring back subsidy."

The more important question is: What exactly are we subsidising, why are we subsidising it, who benefits, and what productive capacity does the intervention create for Nigeria?

There is an enormous economic difference between subsidising imported petrol for immediate consumption and temporarily supporting crude supplied to Nigerian refineries to encourage domestic production.

If properly structured, transparently administered and subjected to strict fiscal limits, a production-based subsidy could strengthen domestic refining, stimulate upstream petroleum production, encourage additional refinery investment, create jobs, conserve foreign exchange and deepen Nigeria's industrial capacity.

And if increased refinery capacity produces genuine competition and lower production costs, Nigerian consumers could ultimately benefit through more competitive pump prices and reduced transportation and production costs.

The Atiku subsidy model should therefore be debated on its actual substance.

Nigeria's challenge is not merely to produce more crude oil.

Our challenge is to refine more of what we produce, add value to it at home, create Nigerian jobs from Nigerian resources and ensure that our enormous petroleum wealth translates into improved living standards for ordinary Nigerians.

That is the economic argument for moving subsidy from imported consumption to domestic production.

Help For Citizens Initiative Donates Medical Equipment/Consumables To Hospitals In Ogun

A non-governmental organization, Help for Citizens Initiative (HCI) has taken a giant step by donating medical equipment/consumables to a government-owned hospital in Ogun State.

The equipment was donated to General Hospital, Ikenne, Ogun State under the scheme tagged ‘Save A Child Project’ recently.

According to the founder of the organization, Mr. Soyoye Akinyode Solomon, who disclosed that the move is to support the activities of government to provide quality health care service.

“Save a Child Project is a Health Care initiative aimed at providing sustainable solutions to issues militating against quality care by supporting the government owned hospitals in Nigeria particularly the Pediatric Emergency Wards.”

Soyoye said that research has shown that lack of basic medical equipment in Pediatric Emergency Rooms (PERs) has impaired the quality of child care in government owned hospitals, and consequently, compromised the quality of care and leads to needless loss of life.

He maintained that the project is scheduled as a sustainable strategy towards addressing the problem by donating medical equipment and consumables to Pediatric wards in selected medical centers across the geopolitical zones of the country.

He said that the project is in line with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal, which aims to end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age, with all countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality to a maximum of 12 per 1000 live births and under-5 mortality rate to a maximum of 1000 live births by year 2030.

Soyoye listed Pediatric Emergency Wards at General Hospital, Ikenne, Ogun State, Federal Medical Center, Owerri, Imo State, Federal Medical Center, Asaba, Delta State, Federal Medical Center, Gombe, Gombe State, Federal Medical Center, Katsina, Katsina State and Federal Medical Center, Abuja among the states that will further enjoy the gesture.

He said it will be held on different dates and run through to May 27th, 2021 to commemorate the annual Children’s Day celebration in Nigeria.

The Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, who was represented by his Senior Special Assistant, Dr. Kehinde Ololade lauded the initiative of the founder of Help for Citizens Initiative for joining hand with government to improve the health sector.

Dr. Ololade, who received the donation on behalf of the state government, promised judicious use of the equipment.

Also in attendance during the presentation were board members of the State's Hospital Management Board led by Alhaja M. Oyefeso, who represented the state’s Commissioner for health, Dr. Segun Sanni and Mogaji Gboyega Adejumo.

The medical equipment/consumables donated are expected to be put to good use of saving lives in primary health care centres across Ikenne Local Government Area of the State.

Nigeria born Babafemi Taiwo leading US search for COVID-19 drug

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began over four months ago, about 3.6 million people have been infected while 250,000 have died from the disease globally. For what started as a novel coronavirus largely unknown, scientists and countries world over still battle in search of drugs and vaccines to save human lives.

At the heart of the United States efforts to find a drug for COVID-19 is Babafemi Taiwo, a Nigerian-born doctor who played a leading role in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical trial of remdesivir, an antiviral drug, which has now been found to be effective in treating COVID-19 patients.

As chief of infectious diseases at Northwestern Medicine, Taiwo, a professor of medicine, was in charge of Northwestern’s branch of the study which began few months ago. That feat was, however, only one of his numerous contributions to healthcare in the US and globally.

In 2005, Taiwo started out as an infectious diseases fellow at Northwestern Medicine, established to “consistently high standards of quality, academic and research excellence, cost-effectiveness and patient satisfaction, where the patient comes first.”

After joining the health centre, he rose through the ranks, publishing a lot of scholarly articles most of which proffered solutions to various infectious diseases ravaging the world. The high point of his time at Northwestern was in 2006 when he was named to lead its research and work as the chief of infectious diseases.

Taiwo had said: “Our goal in the Division of Infectious Diseases is to occupy the front line of patient-centred discovery in our field and deliver high-quality care and education every day.”

Douglas Vaughan, the institution’s head of medicine, described him as “an astute and respected clinician… an exceptionally effective educator, and an accomplished clinical investigator and international leader in anti-retroviral therapy and HIV-associated infectious maladies.”

GRADUATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN


Dr. Taiwo graduated from Nigeria’s first university in 1991.

Yes, you read that right. The medical doctor began his journey in Nigeria in the four walls of the University of Ibadan, where he obtained his medical degree in 1991. He then proceeded to Berkshire Medical Centre for his postgraduate resident training in internal medicine from where he finished in 1996 and in 2005, began his fellowship at the McGaw Medical Center at Northwestern University.

He currently holds board certification in internal medicine and infectious disease, and has published over 120 works on medicine and health.

S. A TO GOV. SEYI MAKINDE DISTRIBUTES COVID-19 PALLIATIVE IN IBADAN

As part of efforts to cushion the effects of the sit at home order over the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus pandemic, the Special Assistant to Governor Seyi Makinde on Youth and Sports, Hon Kazeem Bolarinwa, on Monday, distributed relief materials to the elderly and youths in Ibadan the Oyo State Capital.

Distributing the food items to about 250 households and underprivileged, Bolarinwa said the gesture was to ameliorate the difficulties forced on the people by the COVID-19, saying the development has affected the people without social advantage.

The Governor's Aide, said he decided to donate to the old and young people today because he is aware that the sit at home order is biting. He posited that Oyo State Government is putting measures in place to make life is bearable for citizens and residents of the State during this hard time.

Speaking at the event, Hon. Bolarinwa, called on the affluent citizens within the state to donate food items to the less privileged in the state to cushion the economic effect of COVID-19 on them.

According to him, the donation will go a long way in cushioning the economic and other social effects of coronavirus on them and put a smile on their faces.

He stressed the need for the people to adhere strictly to the state government’s directives to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the state and commended them for being law-abiding in obeying the restriction order and ban on events that involve more than ten persons to safeguard their lives.

Items distributed include,
Rice, Beans, Garri, Spaghetti, wheat flours, Salt, Sanitisers and face masks. The beneficiaries got all the items distributed while Security Operatives were on ground to coordinate peoples activities in order not to flout the social distancing and gathering order.

The distribution took place at Egbeda Local Government Area of the State.

ONDO STATE RECORDS FIRST CASE OF COVID-19

It's now in the news that Ondo State which seems to be the only State in South West Nigeria free of Covid-19 has now recorded a case. This came few days after 12 suspected cases tested negative for the deadly virus.

Ondo State closed her boarders on Thursday 2nd April 2020 to prevent the outbreak of the virus in the State.

More details coming soon...

Over 500 Less Privilege Benefit From Citizen For Citizens Foundation Annual Feeding Project

In line with his principle and the objective of his foundation to give back to the people, the Founder of Citizen For Citizens (CFCs) Foundation and a Senior Legislative Aide at the National Assembly, Abuja, Mr. Akinyode Soyoye has extended his kind gesture to over 500 less privilege Nigerians to benefit from this year’s feeding project of the foundation.

This year’s edition of the feeding project with theme “Spread Love” was held at four different locations in Oyo State on January 8, 2020

While speaking, the Founder of the Foundation, Mr. Soyoye Akinyode, stated that the feeding project is an aspect of Social Welfare Scheme of the foundation.

He disclosed the idea of the project was conceived in 2017 as a result of the high level of poverty in the society.

According to him, “It's disheartening to know that so many people in the country find it difficult to afford a meal.
“Therefore, we decided to make it an annual project to give back to the people and spread love with the hope of increasing the capacity yearly.

“Last year we fed less privilege Nigerians in two (2) different locations in Ibadan, Oyo State. This year through the grace of God, we fed them in four (4) different locations.

“The Foundation still has other humanitarian programs which cut across health, economic empowerment for youth and education that will be executed very soon. Our aim is to enhance lives of less privileged Nigerians. Government alone can't get everything done. The onus also lies on Nigerians to support Governments at different tiers through ideas and initiatives like this,” Mr. Akinyode submitted.

In attendance with other dignitaries is the Special Adviser to Governor Seyi Makinde on Youth and Sports, Kazeem Bolarinwa.

Think of the benefits this move will give Nigerians and not just being negative about it.

JULY 5: AS IT WAS FOR AREGBESOLA MAY BE FOR ADELEKE

As we await July 5, an attempt to digg into what might be the outcome of the Supreme Court Judgement on Osun 2018 governorship election, brought the 2010 Appeal Court Judgment on Osun 2007 governorship election under critical examination. The judgement declared former Governor Rauf Aregbesola winner of the election sacking Chief Olagunsoye Oyinlola who was initially declared winner by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

However, a forensic analysis of the circumstances that paved way for former Governor Rauf Aregbesola's victory in 2010, have shown that same circumstances are presently on ground to play decisive role in determining who will be declared winner of Osun 2018 governorship election on July 5.

Declearing Ogbeni Aregbesola winner, the Appeal Court In the judgment read for about five hours by Justice Clara Bata Ogunbiyi affirmed, INEC did not conduct the election in accordance to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and in accordance with the Electoral Act. In the same vein, Osun 2018 Governorship tribunal judgement that confirmed Sen. Adeleke winner, affirmed that Mr Adeleke won the election at the first ballot on September 22 and the rerun that INEC devised to reach a final conclusion a week later was illegal, an allegation INEC did not refute.

Also, former Governor Rauf Aregbesola was declared winner after the Appeal Court annulled election held in 10 local governments saying that the allegations against the election in the 10 disputed local government areas were valid and genuine. Having nullified the election held in Boripe, Atakumosa, Ayedaade, Boluwaduro, Ife Central, Ife East, Ife South, Ifedayo, Isokan, Odo Otin, local governments Areas, the court resolved that Aregbesola won the election by 198,799 votes against 172,880 lawfully ascribed to Oyinlola. Clearly, a replica of this judgment came to play in the Judgment of tribunal as the three-member panel said during its ruling in Abuja that the rerun election that held on September 27, 2018, was illegal. The tribunal, therefore, deducted the votes scored by the candidates at the rerun in polling units in Oyere in Ife-North, one polling unit in Olode in Ife-South, another polling unit in Osi, Ife-South, three polling units in Orolu, Kajola Local Government Area of the state and one polling unit in Osogbo. The tribunal therefore resolved that the PDP candidate won the election.

Without any equivocation, Justice Ogunbiyi declared Aregbesola the winner of the election in line with section 197 of the constitution and 147 Electoral Act. These legal reservations also played out at the tribunal that declared Sen. Adeleke winner of the governorship election.

Finally, as we look forward to July 5, the constitutional provisions of section 179, subsection (2)a,b which brought former Governor Aregbesola into office in 2010 as Governor of Osun State is still in place and potent. The onus however, is on the Judiciary to determine who this constitutional provisions favours as in the case of Osun 2018 Governorship Election.

It was a good day for Sen. Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke and Osun PDP at the Supreme Court today as Panel of Judges took a close look at the case presented by Sen.Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke and Osun PDP. The Lawyers of Sen. Adeleke gave resounding answers to all the questions posed to them by the Judges and presented valid evidences to justify that Sen. Adeleke is the true winner of the 2018 Osun Governorship Election.

The judges however never hide their satisfaction at the technicalities and manner adopted by the lawyers in presenting the case and the efficacy of the evidences provided. On the other hand, it was indeed a bad day for the lawyers of Mr Gboyega Oyetola and Osun APC as they fail in giving clear answers to some of the questions posed to them. They also lack the right evidences to juxtapose their position before the panel.

The final judgement day has been declared to be 5th of July, 2019.

Osun Assembly PDP Forum condemns arrest of Senator Adeleke

The forum of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) Osun State House of Assembly Candidates has condemned in strong terms the acts of the police over the arrest of Osun State PDP Governorship Candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke.

In a statement issued and signed by its spokesman, Mr Faruq Olanrewaju Abbas, Candidate for Ejigbo State Constituency on Tuesday, he said it was wrong for the police to allow itself to be used by some unscrupulous elements in the political arena to hound and harass Senator Adeleke over a matter, which two superior courts of record and the election petition tribunal had already made a pronouncement on.

The forum hailed the Nigerian Judiciary for granting Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke bail today at the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja Magistrate court in a case of testimonial and certificate forgery “a repetition of various court actions some of which have been concluded while others are still ongoing at various other higher courts.” “Senator Adeleke is being harassed because of his victory against the APC, as the election tribunal declared him the winner of Osun State Governorship election,” Faruq said.

Faruq advised the APC and those behind the Senator’s ordeal to await the decision of the Federal High Court on the pending criminal trial, as against seeking to use the machinery of the State and the Nigeria Police Force to intimidate and harass Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke. He added that the APC had the opportunity of establishing that the Senator was not qualified to contest for the position of Governor at the election petition tribunal, but it was unable to establish this laughable claim at the tribunal. The forum also called on the Inspector General of Police and President Muhammadu Buhari to rein on members of the police force so as to avoid a situation where the polity would be unduly overheated, as the continued harassment of Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke is capable of leading to a breakdown of law and order in Osun State. The forum called on Osun Citizens and PDP members to remain calm in the face of this unwarranted provocation and to continue to pray for the safety of Senator Adeleke.

BREAKING NEWS: VICTORY FOR SEN. ADEMOLA ADELEKE AS HE WINS CERTIFICATE FORGERY CASE

The controversy over the eligibility of Senator Ademola Adeleke to contest the Osun governorship election has been put to rest as an Akure Federal Court of Appeal on Saturday April 6, 2019 reaffirmed his qualification and eligibility to contest the office.

The Akure Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal against the judgement of Osogbo High court which had confirmed the eligibility of Senator Ademola Adeleke to contest for the governorship of Osun state.

The Osogbo High Court had earlier ruled that Senator Adeleke is qualified to contest for the governorship having been educated up to secondary school level.

The petitioners however proceeded to appeal against the ruling ,insisting that the Senator is not qualified and therefore Dr Akin Ogunbiyi who is the second runner up at the governorship primary should be declared the winner of the primary.

The Akure Appeal court in its ruling dismissed the appeal on three grounds ,affirming the judgement of the lower court that confirmed the eligibility of Senator Adeleke.

The first ground was that the court has no jurisdiction to hear the case.

The second was that the petitioner has no locus standi to file the case and third was that the matter was brought to court outside the stipulated 14 days after the conduct of the primary.

It is no longer news that on Tuesday, April 2nd 2019, Justice Oathman Musa of an Abuja High Court sitting in Bwari Area Council delivered a judgment in the suit to annul Sen. Adeleke’s nomination on the grounds that he violated section 177 of the 1999 constitution as amended. This was in response to the case filled by two chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Wahab Raheem and Adam Habeeb, in 2018 accusing Sen. Ademola Adeleke of not possessing the requisite educational qualification (secondary school certificate) to contest for the office of governor.

It is however crucial to boldly postulate that the ruling is a watery judgement and a purchased ruling that cannot stand. It is also pertinent to make clear that the ruling is a purposeful attempt orchestrated by APC to negatively distract the attention of the public and deflate the hope of the good people of Osun State on the outcome of the Osun Govenroship tussle which had already been won by Sen. Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke and Osun PDP. It is crystal clear that the judgement will not stand at the Court of Appeal for some obvious reasons.

First, the West African Examination Council (WAEC) had during the court’s proceedings in September, 2018 reportedly confirmed that Adeleke sat for the May/June examination of the council in 1981. The council in an affidavit filed at the registry of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court confirmed that Sen. Adeleke sat for the Senior Secondary School exams in May/ June 1981. Further more, as against the position of the plaintiffs' counsel, Bankole Akomolafe, who on Sept 11, 2018 claimed that the PDP candidate did not sit for the WAEC examination in 1981 because the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination had not been introduced in the country as at then, the Council (WAEC) faulted his position stating that the examination body was established in 1952 and was introduced in Nigeria subsequently. This justified the efficacy that the Judge, Justice Oathman Musa erred in law by going out of his way to source for evidence to arrive at his “unjust conclusion”.

Secondly, the judgement will be impotent at the Court of Appeal because the matter in question has been addressed by two High Court rulings, affirming that in the face of the constitution, Senator Adeleke is qualified to run for the governorship. The two rulings delivered in September 2018 held that Senator Adeleke satisfied requirements of the law to contest for the office. It is trite in law that once a court of coordinate jurisdiction has ruled on a matter, a court of similar jurisdiction cannot entertain it. Shockingly, the Bwari judge breached this precept to subvert justice.

More importantly, the public should note that the judge erred in law by failing to observe the expiration of 180 days for ruling on pre-election matters. Even when a December 2018 judgement with respect to the issue was presented, the judge ignored it. We however put it to the good people of Osun State that the judge violated the law by adjudicating over a matter whose filing and hearing period has expired.

Hence, it is expedient on Osun APC and Mr Gboyega Oyetola to do the needful by preparing to hand over to the legally elected Governor of Osun State, Sen. Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke instead of putting up a mockery on the Justice System.

This distribution will mark the implementation of IREYODE FESTIVE FOOD SUPPORT SCHEME, an initiative put together by Prince Oyewusi as an avenue to show love to constituents for the purpose of making festive seasons memorable and interesting for all.

In an interview with Inside Osun, the young aspiring publisher and Founder of PAAO Foundation postulated that "food is essential for all and distribution of food items at this period of the year is highly crucial, to ease the effect of economic hardship on our people. I shall continue to do this during every festive season round the year and I will not stop in putting smile on the faces of constituents in other spheres of life too".

Candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) for Osun State House of Assembly, Ife North State Constituency, Prince Akinyode Abidemi Oyewusi(PAAO) has called on citizens and residents of Ife North Constituency and Osun State at large to stand firm in unison with strong determination and cast their votes for all candidates of PDP in the coming 2019 general elections for better life and better future.

He stated this on Wednesday, 4th December, 2018 at the hearing of Osun governorship election petition tribunal in Abuja. In an interview with Inside Osun, an online news site, Prince Oyewusi further escalated that "what exactly are the achievements of the obnoxious APC led administration in the state in the last eight( years? Which of their executed projects truly have direct positive impact on the people of the state? Is it "Opon Imon" that faded away in less than two(2) years of introducing the initiative to the state despite the huge funds invested in the project? What educational value has it added to the system? Despite the lavish spending on educational infrastructure, Is it not surprising why Osun state still ranked 29th position in the latest WAEC performance ranking analysis released by the institution?

Away from education, what is the state of Primary Health Care System in Osun? In the last eight ( years our health care system in the state has experienced total neglect thereby making our community health care centers death traps for the citizens and residents of the state. However, the insensitivity character of barbaric APC led administration to the welfare of the people didn't stop there. For more than five(5) years, hardworking civil servants in the state were inhumanly treated as a result of irregularities in the payment of their salaries. For several years, they worked without getting their full payments and benefits which by law is their constitutional right!

This singular slavish strategy crippled the economy of the state till today thereby subjecting citizens and residents throughout the state to unquantifiable hardship an experience which has sent several people to their early graves and undignified means of livelihood. Also, the security system of the state in the last 8years is nothing to be proud of therefore subjecting lives and properties of the people living in the state into unexplainable danger! The incessant robbery attacks in towns like Iwo, Ilesha, Ikirun to mention a few are evident to this fact. Meanwhile kidnapping and killings are still on the rise at today.

However, It is clear that several white elephant projects across the state added no value to the living conditions of our people and has dragged the state into humongous debt spinning to over #300 billion Naira. The projects are clearly means of syphoning tax payer's money which they succeeded in doing.

Payback time has now come. In the 2019 general elections, let's stand firm and collectively show the oppressors that we are not fools" he concluded.

However, it is a fact that the good people of Osun state are yet to recover from the grieve of their stolen mandate in the September 22 and 27 governorship election in the state. It is therefore a clarion call for people of Ife North State Constituency and Osun state at large to heed to this call of freedom. The oppressors will soon come with their money bags for votes buying and subjecting people to the "Next Level" of poverty and hard life afterwards, say no to them!
