He will be joined by recognised dignitaries from various fields including, politicians, legal, media, gender and election administration professionals from across the Commonwealth to carry out the task. Speaking on the appointment, the Secretary-General said: “I am grateful to His Excellency Prof. Yemi Osinbajo for accepting my invitation, to undertake this important area of our work in deepening democracy across our Commonwealth - despite his busy schedule and overseeing a seamless transition of his government.

Politics / Laolu Akande: Serving Nigeria For 8 Years With Osinbajo A Great Honour by TheRareGem1(f): 12:43pm On May 21, 2023 |
The spokesman of Nigeria’s Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, Laolu Akande, has said that working closely with his principal for the past eight years is a matter of great honour and privilege to him. He said having the opportunity to work under President Muhamadu Buhari’s government through the Office of the Vice President was an answer to the prayers he made when he left Nigeria for the United States in 1998. Akande made this known on Friday, May 19, 2023, during an interview session, “Daily Politics,” on Daily Trust TV, where he reflected on his journey serving as a spokesman to the number-two man in Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria, just a few days before the end of their tenure on May 29, 2023. The veteran journalist said it has been a “thrilling” experience for him, saying he had always wanted to be part of people who would fix Nigeria and set its feet on the path of progress. “It has been a very thrilling experience for me. I also consider it a great privilege and a wonderful opportunity to be able to serve your country, especially at that level, for someone who has always wanted to be part of fixing the country. “I remember when I left in 1998 to go to the United States, I had a prayer with God, and I said I wanted to come back to Nigeria and work in a government if that government would be a government of serious reform. And when I got the opportunity to do that, I felt that it was an answer to my prayer. So, serving for these eight years at that level and with the Vice President and the President is a great privilege and honour,” Akande said. Speaking on what made him leave the US and join the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign trail in 2014, the celebrated journalist said Osinbajo was the major factor, saying the VP’s reputation was ahead of him after his successful stint as Lagos State Attorney General for eight years between 1999 and 2007. His words: “In 2013 and 2014, there was this clamour that somebody like General Buhari would be a very good candidate when they were forming the APC, and I was part of that hope, expectations, and clamour pushing behind the scenes. “But in 2014, when the candidate of the APC then picked the Vice President as his running mate, when I heard the news in New York, I tapped my wife in the bedroom and said, you know what, I am going to support that guy.” “I had met him just once before that time, in 2012, in New York. Before that time, he had garnered a considerable reputation as the guy who reformed the Lagos judiciary when he was Attorney General from 1999 to 2007, and a lot of what he did became a model for the country. “So, when I met him in 2012, his reputation was ahead of him. We probably had a five-minute discussion at an award ceremony for him by the Nigerian Lawyers Association in New York; that was our previous meeting. “When he was picked as a vice presidential candidate, I said, “Look, maybe your prayer is about to be answered; you have to go and support this guy; that was why I came to join the campaign.” Reminiscing on his earlier career as one of the youngest editors in the 90s, Akande said he began his journalism career with the Guardian Newspaper at a tender age, where he did the one-year compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme after he graduated from the University of Ibadan (UI), and he was retained as a reporter. “I started in 1989 as a freelance reporter for the Guardian; I was still in school in 1989, up to 1990, then I was posted to the Guardian for my NYSC, so I did my NYSC in the Guardian, and they offered me a job even before I finished the NYSC sometime in March as a staff reporter, and I was with them up till 1993 when I joined The News, which later became the Tempo, and maybe 1994 or 1995, when I went to the Nigerian Tribune,” Akande said. https://www.chronicle.ng/2023/05/serving-nigeria-with-osinbajo-akande/ |

Politics / I Am Not Celebrating - The New Ndic Chairman by TheRareGem1(f): 10:53am On May 20, 2023 |
Abdulhakeem Abdullateef, the new chairman of the governing board of the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), has warned friends and associates to stop putting pressure on him with requests. In a post on his verified Facebook account, Mr Abdullateef, a former Lagos lawmaker and commissioner, said he is ready to lose friends and relationships to be a “model for zero tolerance for corruption and lawlessness.” “I will not award any contract throughout my tenure because that is not a part of my responsibilities,” he wrote, adding that he won’t interfere in the functions of the management of the insurance regulator. “I am just a leader whose primary assignment is to LEAD the Governing Board of NDIC in good corporate governance and best practices in accordance with established rules and regulations. I will not do otherwise,” Mr Abdullateef, an Islamic cleric, added. On Wednesday, President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Mr Abdullateef to serve as the chairman of the board of NDIC following the confirmation of the board members by the senate. In his statement, he noted that he is neither excited nor celebrating his new feat: “My appointment and confirmation as NDIC Chairman is a trial from my Lord and not a success yet. Kindly reserve the congratulatory messages until the day I succeed in leaving this organisation better than I met it.” said Mr Mobolaji, a Lagos-based Islamic cleric. The full statement by the new appointee is reproduced below. I AM NOT CELEBRATING 1. My appointment and confirmation as NDIC Chairman is a trial from my Lord and not a success yet. Kindly reserve the congratulatory messages until the day I succeed in leaving this organisation better than I met it. 2. Stop putting pressures on me with requests. I will not honour your requests. I am going to be very different. I am ready to lose friends and relationships. I will not award any contract throughout my tenure because that is not a part of my responsibilities. I will not interfere in the functions of Management. I am not excited about my new office and I am ready to quit if I am asked to leave tomorrow. You have no idea what my role entails. I will not take any step to betray my education, experience and exposure. No threat or pressure can recruit me into the stinking system we complain of. 3. I am just a leader whose primary assignment is to LEAD the Governing Board of NDIC in good corporate governance and best practices in accordance with established rules and regulations. I will not do otherwise. 4. My team promises to be a model for zero tolerance for corruption and lawlessness. 5. My job as an Islamic Preacher is far better than this trial and for your information, I have not left serving my Lord. 6. To all those concerned, please stay on your lane. Do not bring anything before me except what is right. 7. I need around me only those who understand that they will enter their graves with nothing and are truly determined to bring about the needed change in this country. 8.Thank you so much for avoiding me. 9. While thanking Allah for this appointment I pray it does not become a reason for my disgrace and humiliation in this world and the hereafter. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/599302-i-will-be-different-wont-award-any-contract-new-ndic-board-chair.html Cc mynd444 Lalasticlala Seun |

Politics / FACT CHECK: Buhari, Osinbajo Never Received N651.2m Hardship Allowance by TheRareGem1(f): 10:53pm On May 12, 2023 |
On Friday, May 12, some news blogs published a report that claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo received N651.2 million in hardship allowances. Findings by Chronicle NG reveals that the hardship allowance does not exist in the breakdown of the earnings of the president and vice-president. Checks revealed that the annual remuneration of the President and his deputy as indicated by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) is around N1,750,000 and N1,500,000 monthly. The duo have been earning 50 per cent of their salaries since they assumed office in 2015. A breakdown of their monthly earnings shows that the monthly salary for the President has been N850,000, while that of the Vice President has been earning N750,000. The President and the Vice President have not been enjoying a jumbo financial packages that runs into millions of naira as hardship allowance in the last eight years. Citing a document obtained from the website of the Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Allocation Commission (RMAFC), the reports claimed that “President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo may have enjoyed about N651.2 million hardship allowance in the last eight years of the Buhari regime.” “The RMAFC document disclosed that the President is entitled to N1.76m annually as a hardship allowance. This means that within a period of eight years, Buhari would have earned N14.08m as hardship allowance. “The Vice President is entitled to N1.52m annually, which means that in eight years, Osinbajo would have earned N12.16m as hardship allowance.” But against the unverified claims, it is stating the obvious that already the President and the Vice President are earning 50 per cent of their salaries, they are not earning 100 per cent. Both Nigerian leaders chose to be paid half of their salaries since the inception of the administration, an act commended by many as unprecedented by any public office holder. So, their hardship allowance could not have accumulated to the amount quoted in the report. However, statutorily, the hardship allowances and other several benefits are contained in the Remuneration Package put together by the RMAFC under previous governments. It was, not initiated under the Buhari government and such allowances were never paid to them. Even though these allowances are without prejudice, they are constitutional entitlements as public office holders. For having held the offices of President and Vice President, both leaders have some statutorily constitutional entitlements and perks. It is their constitutional right to be paid such allowances after serving their fatherland. Meanwhile, as approved by RMAFC, though political office holders are entitled to 300 per cent of their annual salary as a severance package, it is, however, uncertain whether Buhari and Osinbajo would continue with the trends as they prepare to leave the office for incoming government come May 29. https://www.chronicle.ng/2023/05/buhari-osinbajo-n651m-hardship-allowance/ Cc mynd444 lalasticlala
