The sole administrator cum dictator needs to be tamed before the situation gets out of control

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), has declared a staff of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr. Joseph Tony Ogah, wanted for defrauding the Federal Government of N36.2 million.

Rasheedat Okoduwa, Commissioner for public enlightenment and spokesperson for the anti graft agency said in a statement that Ogah, an indigene of Idah, Kogi State, was part of a crime syndicate that defrauded the Federal Ministry of Environment.

According to her, preliminary findings by ICPC revealed that the syndicate used a company called Soft Alliance Disco, Limited to pay huge salary arrears totaling N36, 194, 636.00 to fictitious staff on the payment platform of the Ministry of Environment.

Ogah, 38 years old, according to her benefited from the fraud as the sum of N9.4 million was paid into his account with the United Bank for Africa (UBA).

The ICPC spokesperson added that a statement of accounts obtained from UBA revealed that the money was drawn from the Ministry of Environment and paid into the account (1006521816) belonging to Ogah.

She added that the Commission invited Mr. Ogah to appear before it following the findings to answer questions regarding the transfer of money from another Ministry into his account, but he failed to do so.

The ICPC spokesperson also revealed that the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture was requested on several occasions through letters to compel him to appear before ICPC but responses to the letters show that Ogah has absconded from his duty post for over three months now.

Okoduwa added that the Ministry, in response to the allegation and Ogah’s failure to report to work, has stopped the payment of his salary and other entitlements since July 2015.

ICPC therefore concluded that Ogah is currently at large and this has prompted it to declare him wanted for fraud.

The Commission said the dark-complexioned Ogah’s last known address was Road 121, House 24, Gwarinpa Housing Estate, Abuja.

The Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Akon Ikpeme fixed the date while closing pre-hearing in the petition challenging the election of Melaye as the senator representing Kogi West senatorial district.

Before closing the pre-hearing session, the tribunal also granted Adeyemi’ s prayers to call additional witnesses and admitted the report of the recounted ballot papers in 21 polling units.

The petitioner’s prayer for determination of the primary election of the 1st and 2nd respondents was also granted by the tribunal.

In addition, the tribunal also granted the request of the Independent National Electoral Commission to withdraw its amended motion of reply to the petition filed by Adeyemi on April 3.

The INEC ‘s oral application to strike out some paragraphs in its motion was similarly granted by the tribunal.

However, in fixing the date for the hearing of petition proper, Ikpem ruled that Adeyemi , INEC and Melaye would only be allowed two days to open and close their cases.

She also ruled that 30 minutes would be given for cross-examination of witnesses; 10 minutes for cross-examination of other counsel’s witnesses while all documents must be filled before Sept. 7 and shown to other counsels involved.

However, the 2nd respondent (APC), was granted 20 minutes for cross-examination, 30 minutes for examination of expert witnesses and 10 minutes for cross-examination of other counsel’s witnesses.

Adeyemi is challenging the election of March 28, which brought Melaye as the senator representing the Kogi West senatorial district on grounds of irregularities in the results of the election.

He is also asking the tribunal to disqualify Melaye for being improperly nominated as a candidate for the election by the APC.

In addition, Adeyemi wants the tribunal to declare him the winner or order fresh elections in the disputed polling

keep the scamming

A herbalist, Lamidi Ibrahim, who allegedly converted his rented apartment to a shrine, was on Tuesday arraigned in an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court, Lagos, for breach of peace and conspiracy. The Prosecutor, Sgt. Kehinde Olatunde, told the court that Ibrahim, 42, of No. 9, Awopeju Close, Iju-Ishaga, Agege, Lagos, committed the offences on Aug. 31 at his residence.

Olatunde said that the accused and others still at large conspired to cause a breach of the peace by illegally converting a rented room into a shrine. Olatunde said that the accused always performed rituals and disturbed the peace of neighbours.

“The accused always buries charms in the compound, thereby disturbing the peace of co-tenants and all efforts to caution him always resulted in threat to life. “He also performed rituals, sacrifices, including spiritual cleansing in the premises,” he said.

The prosecutor said the house was also used by scammers to carry out fraudulent activities in addition to its being used as an abode for miscreants. “The accused always brings people of questionable character to the premises to perpetrate fraudulent acts and engage in smoking of hemp,” Olatunde said.

He said the offenses contravened Sections 166 and 410 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011, which prescribes six months jail-term for offenders. The accused pleaded innocent of the offenses and was granted bail in the sum of N100, 000 with one surety in like sum.

The Magistrate, Mr A O Aka-Bashorun, adjourned the case to Oct. 10 for mention.

Buhari has committed impeachable offences — Senator Okon

on September 08, 2015 / in News 4:21 am / Comments

One time Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and member of the Akwa-Ibom State Elders Forum, Senator Anietie Okon in this interview, scores Governor Udom Emmanuel high in terms of performance within his first 100 days.
Okon

Okon

His assessment is anchored on the governor’s aggressive pursuit of industrialization, employment generation and wealth creation.

But the Senator is displeased with President Muhammadu Buhari alleging certain constitutional breaches which should provoke his impeachment. He is worried that the cardinal points that sustain Nigeria as one cohesive nation are being threatened by the President’s approach to governance. Excerpts:

By Tom Moses

What is your assessment of the government of Udom Emmanuel led administration in the state as he marks his first 100 days in office?

Governor Udom Emmanuel is really living up to the stalk of the main thrust of his promise which is primarily focused on wealth creation, employment generation and industrialization and we are well ahead of any other person and any other state that today, in the first 100 days of this administration, we have had cause to be ecstatic about what the future holds for us.

Ground breaking ceremonies

The ground-breaking ceremonies of two very vital industrial investments; the truck assembly with all its ancillary services and the new laid factory which will enhance the production of assorted household appliances and utilities, you are also aware that that same factory will benefit from the exploitation of clay deposits around that local government just as we are looking at upgrading a number of moribund industries; one of which is the review and perhaps, involvement in the resuscitation of the two major plants in this country; the Nigerian Newsprint Manufacturing Company-NNMC and the Aluminium Smelter Company of Nigeria- ALSCON for aluminium smelting.

Given the uncertain economic situation in the country, do you think the programmes of Governor Udom Emmanuel would not be truncated?

That is rather a simplistic question. We are talking about resource management here and deployment of resources to the best advantage of our dreams and you do know that necessity becomes the mother of invention and not just invention but also the mother of initiatives.

What is your view on the alleged skewed appointments so far made by President Muhammadu Buhari?

Well, you know that is directly in breach of the constitution. The President maybe, heard what I said recently in an interview that he has been operating as a sole administrator and there is no provision in the Constitution of this country for the business of governance to be conducted in that manner.

Again; even in the attempt to people his administration, what we have had is a clear breach of the Constitution.

The very foundations of this country are very clear. The foundations demand a recognition of the differences that have ensured the emergence of a country and it is unacceptable where you fail to recognize the federal character of our make up as a country. This is not only condemnable but poses real danger for the future of this country.

So, what would you say generally of his first 100 days in office?

I have pointed out where there are fundamental breaches and failure in his approach to governance of this country. The cardinal points that ensure that this country remains one cohesive group, one cohesive nation are being threatened by the lopsidedness and cavalier approach to the appointments he is making into the federal system.

Given your position as a major stakeholder in the Nigerian project; what will be your advice to the President at this point in time?

I am waiting for him to fail but for the sake of the country; I hope not. I am waiting for him to continue to make mistakes so that we can find a window to begin to breathe the air properly and to rise up and create a viable alternative to the APC’s change mantra government.



Change mantra



We have to be honest about that. When a man stands up and says that we should not expect; after becoming president that the various sections of the country should not expect equal treatment, I put this question to you; what do you make of a statement like that?

Don’t you think he may have said that in terms of the capacity of every state to provide the caliber of persons needed in the various positions in his administration?

No, that is not correct; he was very specific that those who voted for him and those who did not vote for him cannot expect equal treatments. That is an impeachable offense.

Do we conclude that there is no hope for a better tomorrow as far as this administration is concerned?

There is a lot of hope, we have seen democracy put to test and it is surviving. In a reverse manner, from a clearly reversed position, I appreciate the victory of the APC.

Breach of the constitution

If you look at it, it is a replication of the experience the citizens of Ghana were exposed to and they are better off for it because they were able to compare and come to the decisions of which given the circumstance, by the time they went for election, they had a better option and they chose the opposition that produced the Late Professor John as president.

So, in a nutshell, President Buhari is operating in breach of the constitution, he is in breach of the Nigerian Constitution by the way and manner he is approaching governance and that is an impeachable offense.
