Says ‘It Is Like Calling For Anarchy’


The President, National Patriotic Elders’ Forum of Nigeria, Dr Bature AbdulAziz has described those calling for the suspension of swearing-in of the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as ignorant of the law.

AbdulAziz told journalists in Kano on Sunday that the renewed calls for the suspension of swearing-in of the president-elect could destabilise the country.

He said: “Some people are ignorantly talking about the swearing-in of the president-elect in spite of the provisions of the Nigeria Constitution and the laws.

“The matter is in court and clearly explained by the law.

“Calling for the suspension of the swearing-In of the president-elect beyond May 29 is like calling for anarchy because Nigeria would be without government, and become a norman land.

“I am worried that some people are hellbent in causing uncertainties in the country for reason best known to them.

“Why are you calling for the suspension of the swearing-in, what you are asking for has no position in the law”.

He said the law permitted the president-elect and any governor-elect to proceed with the swearing-in while the case is still in court.

GreyLaw:
Ha! This is an easy question mate. Everybody in each state is the governor's political 'subject'. As for the Oba the governor would have to go through the assembly. Even the Oba of Benin can be removed by the governor. As for me, the Oba of Benin is the strongest Oba in Nigeria, but even he can be dealt with if he messes up and dabbles into politics.

But Benin Obas respect themselves and carry themselves with so much dignity and the governors truly respect them.

Very true

Does the Governor of a state have the power to remove an Oba?? Using Benin, Lagos, Ife. Sokoto for example

Please help move to FP to aid my project topic discussion .

Say a prayer for him

Happy Birthday

.I am excited to see that we still have young people like this who are bold to speak truth like this without fear or consideration of their selfish interest. I am aware this young man was given an SSA appointment recently by mr Governor simply to close his mouth from further criticism, but the young man was still bold enough to tell the governor the truth to his face about AAU yesterday during his meeting with the University community. You could see the excitement in the face of the lecturers and fellow students.

Academic and Non Academics staff of the Edo state owned University barricaded the university main gate over 11 months unpaid salary.

Staff of the institution are appealing to the state government to wade into the situation.

All effort to reach out to the University Management proved abortive while filing the report.

Many young Nigerians who have grown enough to understand social behaviors and emotional ordeals are not comfortable staying with their parents during this break

It is already feeling like forever sharing a space with them for over a few weeks. They are running madly on their WhatsApp status and all.

Why is it so?

Are African parents toxic? Or African youths are just marlians



Twitter space discussion will hold tomorrow Thursday by 9PM

Wow so quick!!

I guess they uses +13 GMT

New Zealand is the first country to celebrate New year and they are officially in the year 2023

Today I and my friend wrote to Independent National Electoral Commission National through our lawyers to see how the election can be done in two or three days as against the regular one-day exercise

This is to ensure that persons like the police force, Seventh-day Adventist Church, jihadists, and others who observe Saturday for a specific purpose won't be disenfranchised

INEC in return is expected to respond within the stipulated date or face legal action at the Federal Hugh Court Abuja

2023 is not business as usual

lexy2014:
Your heading and story says "student". Is it one student that is being asked to build the hostel or do u have issues with singular and plural?

Is that your problem?

12rev:
Smh...see open blackmail. Naija is gone to the dogs.

Sometimes I wonder where our education system is turning into

The student needs this on FP to draw the state government's attention. This hardship is way too much.

The NDDC abandoned hostel project has been marked completed by the NDDC since 2006 but yet the place has not been completed. bags of unused cement over 700 have caked, some machines already rusted are on the site

The student of medicine even appealed okay upon payment of this money to allow us to stay in the hostel for free for a particular period but the authority refused to say upon completion student will have to still pay for the accommodation.

The State Government, Ministries, TETFUNd, NDDC, and other concerned alumni of the institution should intervene.

Ambrose Alli University Medicine student has been told to pay a sum of #50,000 each to complete one of the abandoned University hostels by the Edo state government.

The Provost of College made this known to all students as the university and state governments lack the funds to build the University-owned property.

Recall that student in medical school at Ambrose Alli University pays #197,000 per session as tuition-fee, #60,000 as dues, and others every year, and the school is said to have over 400 in 100L, 300L in 200L, and other numbers from 300L and above.

COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE END OF THE MEETING HELD BY STUDENTS OF AMBROSE ALLI UNIVERSITY, EKPOMA ON THE 17 OF JANUARY, 2022



The students of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma held a meeting today Monday, 17 January. 2022. The students received and deliberated on issues affecting our institution and the way forward; In pursuant of improved welfare and hitch-free academic activities for students of Nigeria's foremost state-owned tertiary institution: the students noted and unanimously accepted the following resolutions after a series of deliberations;

1. That students in unanimity extend their profound appreciation to the Edo State Government for the choice of Prof. Osarhiemhe Benson Osadolor as the Acting Vice-chancellor of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma. His presence in this institution has brought about the desired peace and stability currently enjoyed by all on-campus especially when his appointment was made at a time that both academic and administrative activities were at a standstill. Since May 2021, when he resumed duties as Acting Vice-chancellor, academic activities have remained stable with two (2) semesters well-completed within a short period amidst dwindling financial resources.

2. That students also noted the response of the university management to the agitations of students about the state of our campus hostels and plights of medical students in the Faculty of Clinical Sciences on the need to urgently complete the new clinical hostel building In the light of this, the ongoing rapid and fit-for-purpose renovations in our campus hostels are commendable.

3. That students of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma noted with dismay the financial/crisis currently bedeviling the university as staff of our institution are being owed salaries and sixteen (16) months of check-off and other deductions. t was agreed that this financial inanition affecting the university is as a result of the drastic reduction in the monthly subvention of the institution from two hundred and fifty million nairas (#250,000,000) to forty-one million nairas (#41,000,000) monthly by the Edo State Government. This situation has dampened the morale of staff in the university as their monthly salaries are delayed for several months and they can no longer seek financial assistance from their unions and co- operatives as check-off dues are no longer paid. This has gradually had its impacts on the rate of service delivery to us as students. In line with the above stated, students are by this communiqué calling on/appealing to the Executive Governor of Edo State Visitor of the university to immediately give all necessary support to salvage our university from this impending financial crisis.

PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI’S STATEMENT TO THE NATION ON JANUARY 1, 2022


We remain grateful to the Almighty God for yet another Year attained as a country, united by a common destiny and resolute in our determination to overcome the several challenges along the path to build the great and prosperous Nation of our dream.

2. I salute the courage and resilience of all Nigerians, which was evident in 2021 as this nation, like other countries of the world, faced significant challenges that occurred as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efforts to restore the global economy and social order.

3. The persistent insecurity in certain parts of the country may have threatened to unravel the incremental gains achieved in the real sectors of the economy and in the administration's overall objective to position the nation on the irreversible trajectory of sustainable growth and progress, but I assure you that we will remain resolute in our commitments and shall continue to press ahead with our programmes and plans.

4. The path to nationhood is often fraught with unpredictable difficulties and challenges, and most tried and tested nations have often prevailed through dogged determination, resilience, concerted commitment to unity, and the conviction that the whole of the nation, standing together against all odds, is by far greater and would ultimately be more prosperous and viable than the sum of its distinguishable parts.

5. There is no doubt that the issue of Security remains at the front burner of priority areas that this Administration has given utmost attention to. As a follow up to our promise to re-energize and reorganize the security apparatus and personnel of the armed forces and the police, it is on record that this Administration has invested heavily in re-equipping our military in line with upgrading the platforms and firepower required to tackle the current challenges being faced in the country.

6. The net results of these efforts have been the number of insurgents and bandits who have willingly surrendered to our Security Forces and continue to do so through various channels and the Safe Corridor created for that purpose.

7. Government, however, realizes that victory on the battlefield is just one aspect of sustainable victory. We know that to fully win this war, we must also win the peace and real security lies in winning the hearts and minds of the affected citizens. To this end, working with our international partners and neighbouring countries, we would be deploying multi-faceted solutions that will be targeted at addressing human security at the grassroots, before it leads to insecurity.

8. Once again I would like to take a moment to remember and honour the gallant Military, Police Officers, and other security agents who have lost their lives in the cause of protecting the territorial integrity of this Nation against both internal and external aggressors, assuring their families that their sacrifices would not be in vain.

9. We equally remember and commiserate with Nigerians who have lost loved ones as a result of insecurity in different parts of the country. Every life matters and every single death caused by any form of insecurity is a matter of personal concern to me both as a citizen and as the President of this great country.

10. We remain fully committed to upholding the constitutional provisions that protect all Nigerians from any form of internal and external aggression.

11. On the economy, we have shown a high level of resilience to record some significant achievements despite the turbulence that has characterized our economy and indeed the global economy. The lessons we have learned and keep learning from COVID-19 have encouraged us to intensify efforts to mitigate its socio-economic effects on our Nation.

12. The major wins we have recorded can be clearly seen in Nigeria’s most recent Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The 4.03% growth recorded in the third quarter of 2021 is indicative of the recovery being recorded in our economy and the confidence that is being shown through the policies that our Administration has put in place after the outbreak of the pandemic.

13. We may also recall that this recent growth is closely followed by the 5.1% (year on year) growth in real terms recorded by Nigeria in Quarter 2 of 2021. This growth was one of the best recorded by any nation across Sub-Saharan Africa. The 5.1% growth at that time was and remains the highest growth recorded by the Nigerian economy since 2014.

14. Despite the challenges we have faced as a Nation, the good news is that we have so far recorded four consecutive quarters of growth after the negative growth rates recorded in Quarter 2 and Quarter 3 of 2020 due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

15. On August 16, 2021 I signed the landmark Petroleum Industry Act into law. The signing of this legacy legislation is a watershed moment in the history of our Nation, considering the massive positive impact the new Act would have on the economy. I would like to sincerely commend the 9th Assembly for the grit they demonstrated, succeeding where others have failed, and the cooperation that led to the completion of this process after almost two decades.

16. Just like I stated during the investment trips and fora that I have attended recently, the legislation is expected to serve as a liberalizing force in the energy industry, and we are optimistic that this law will provide the much-needed legal, governance, regulatory and fiscal framework for the development of the energy sector, the host communities, and Nigeria as a Nation. Our objective to increase Liquefied Natural Gas exports and expand our domestic market is still very much at the forefront of some of the policies we would be pushing in the new year.

17. In year 2022 and going forward, our Administration would intentionally leverage ICT platforms to create jobs, while ensuring that the diversification of our economy creates more support to other emerging sectors. I am proud to announce that several foreign investors are taking advantage of our ranking as one of the leading start-up ecosystems in Africa to invest in our digital economy.

18. We have given the utmost priority to fighting corruption and other related offenses which have been a bane to the growth and prosperity of our dear Nation. We have made major strides and breakthroughs through the innovative use of technology and forensics in the investigative and prosecutorial procedures with commendable results to show that the anti-corruption drive of our Administration is succeeding.

19. In the meantime, the accomplishments that have been recorded so far can be traced to the dedication of the Nation’s anti-corruption Agencies who have received the necessary support needed to effectively prosecute their duties.

20. Despite our challenges in 2021, it was also a year in which the Administration executed successfully, key projects, programmes, and initiatives to fulfil the promises made under the Security, Economy Anti-corruption (SEA) agenda.

21. As we welcome 2022, let us, with hope, envision a year of continued progress against our combined challenges arising from security and socio-economic issues.

22. As it is said, the past is but a story told, the future will still be written in gold. Let us be united in our fight to keep our Nation united against all odds and with gratitude, celebrate life in this new epoch.

23. I wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year.



Muhammadu Buhari
