Politics › FG Didn’t Suspend Fuel Subsidy Removal For 2023 Elections, Says Femi Adesina by treesun(op): 12:11pm On Jan 26, 2022
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has said the Federal Government didn’t suspend the removal of fuel subsidy because of the 2023 elections.

Adesina said this when he appeared on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme, on Wednesday.

“It is a valid thing [to do],” he said of the government’s suspension of the removal, adding, “but is this done because of elections next year? No.”

“It is done because as the minister (of finance) stated, the timing is not auspicious, inflation is still high. In the past eight months, we saw inflation reducing but the last month, it went up again; further consultations need to happen with all the stakeholders.”

Adesina also stated that the intention of the Federal Government to extend the removal of fuel subsidy by 18 months was not to set a booby-trap for the next president.

“That was not the intention, the intention was also stated – the timing is not right, it will exacerbate the hardship of the people and the President genuinely cares,” the presidential spokesman said.

“Politics is a part of our lives, but elections will just be one event in the life of the country. When elections come, they go, the country continues. This fuel subsidy, whether it stays or goes, is going to have a serious impact on the economy.”

Politics › PDP W’ll Form Better Govt In 2023, Says Ortom by treesun(op): 9:20am On Jan 26, 2022
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, has boasted that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party will form the government at the national level come 2023.

Speaking at a meeting with the party’s governorship aspirants at the Government House, Makurdi, on Monday, the governor said when the PDP reclaims power, it would continue from where it left governance in 2015.

Ortom declared that the PDP had ample opportunity to return to power with the abysmal performance of the All Progressives Congress government.

He explained that Nigerians were fed up with the APC, the party he said came to power through deceit, propaganda and lies.

He said, “I want to assure you that by the grace of God, the PDP is going to take over the mantle of leadership at the national level, because clearly from what we are seeing in Nigeria today, the APC has become a failure.

“They came on the platform of deceit, lies and propaganda. It takes two to tango. People saw what the PDP was able to do and today, they have seen what the APC is doing.

“What was the PDP doing – security of lives and property, economic development, reduction in unemployment and ensuring free movement in Nigeria.



“Today, under the leadership of the APC, what are we seeing? Economically, the dollar used to be N190, but it is now being sold for N590. We used to hear of Boko Haram in Borno, but today, Boko Haram is in Benue State; it is in the North-Central, South-South, South-West, South-East and even worst in the North-West.

“Today, some states in the North-East are being controlled by Boko Haram. Why did I say this? The governors themselves have confirmed this. Even in the North-Central, there are some states that are controlled by Boko Haram. It wasn’t so in 2015 when the APC took over.

“So, are we going to continue in this manner? Do we want to be Afghanistan? Do we want Afghanistan to extend its frontiers to Nigeria? Our country is gradually subjecting itself and giving itself to terrorists and surrendering to terrorists.”

He added, “If parts of the North-East have been conquered by terrorists and parts of the North-West have been conquered by terrorists, and even now as we hear, some parts of the North-Central have been conquered by terrorists, are we going to allow it to come to Benue State?

“You people should tell me, because I’m your governor; if you want me to surrender to terrorists, I will do it.”

Ortom observed that the open grazing being canvassed by the Federal Government was a camouflage.

He stated, “It is a lie; it is a programme designed in the international Fulani world to take over and seize our land, manipulate us and make us slaves.


“We are looking for when the PDP will continue from where it stopped in 2015 and provide leadership for economic growth and take possession of employment and reduce unemployment in our country.”

The governor argued that the treaty signed by the APC government in 2021 to allow free trade and movement was a wrong step, saying that it would only make Nigeria a dumping ground.

“I was the minister of Industry, Trade and Investment under Goodluck Jonathan; I attended meetings in Ghana, in Germany and other parts of the world. They persuaded us and we said no, we were not going to sign, because as Nigerians with a population of over 200 million, signing that agreement would mean other smaller countries would dump their products on Nigeria,” Ortom added.

Good! People should go about their normal businesses. Subsidy stays till the next administration is inaugurated. By then, Dangote refinery would have come on board and the economic effect of Covid-19 would have been drastically reduced globally. The next government will be in a good position to make a better and more informed decision on what to do with subsidy.
Muntairu, you are defending payment now. Dangote will not serve any purpose, just like the cement, sugar, pasta production didnot do anything to reduce the price!

Subsidy is a scam, even Buhari knows this, but the backlash is their fear!

Politics › FG’s Local Currency Debts To Hit ₦44 Trillion In 2022 by treesun(op): 12:47pm On Jan 25, 2022
A report by Agusto & Co. Limited has estimated that the Federal Government’s local currency debts will rise to N44tn in 2022.

This was disclosed in a report, titled ‘Nigeria in 2022’, on the economic outlook for 2022.

It said, “Local currency debts of the FGN [Federal Government of Nigeria] will grow to about N44tn or about 9X of its revenues. The median for key countries in sub-Saharan Africa is about 2X.

“Because of the high cost of servicing these debts at commercial rates, the Central Bank of Nigeria will continue to accommodate the FGN by lending to them at rates below inflation, thus reducing FGN’s borrowing requirement from the markets and put a downward pressure on interest rates as banks, pension funds, insurance companies and other institutional investors compete for government securities.

“The average yield on FGN’s 10-year US$ bonds was 7.1 per cent in 2021 compared to 1.4 per cent for those issued by the government of the USA. This translates to a country risk premium of 5.7 per cent. We believe that this risk premium will be about 5.0 per cent in 2022 as fears about COVID-19 recede and the fact that Nigeria has ample resources to service its FCY debts. However, this premium may spike if there is a flight to safety by investors.”

According to the report, federation account revenues should grow by about 15 per cent in 2022.

It said the bulk of the growth would come from Value Added Tax and Companies’ Income Tax.

It said the Federal Government’s share of these revenues and its independent revenue would be about N5tn under most aggressive estimates.

The report said the Federal Government should be able to borrow another N8tn to augment its spending.

It said obligatory spending (interest on loans, statutory transfers and payroll & unfunded pensions) would total about N11tn.

The bulk of the remaining funds would go to capital expenditure, which it estimated at not more than N3tn.

The Blue Line Rail project is the flagship transport project of the Lagos state government. Blue Line project is a 27-kilometre rail route designed to run from Okokomaiko eastwards to Mile 2, and then proceeds to Marina via Ijora.

A major part of the rail alignment runs in the middle of the ongoing Lagos Badagry Expressway (LBE) road expansion development from Okokomaiko to Iganmu before ascending on an elevated railway bridge to the National Theatre, and proceeds via Ijora to Marina. Construction of the Theatre to Marina is a 5.5 km elevated rail section consisting of a terminal station at Marina, bridge works and track works.

Hosts Cameroon and debutants Gambia were the second set of teams to progress to the Quarter-finals of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after wins over Comoros and Guinea.

It was a day that saw Chaker Alhadhur keep goal impressively for Comoros, Vincent Aboubakar do what Vincent Aboubakar does for Cameroon, and both Guinea and Gambia get red carded, has come to an end. But what lessons were learnt from Monday’s games?

Gambia are sticking to their manual
Gambia continued their fairy tale run at the AFCON with a 1-0 win over Guinea. A win that did not entirely come as a surprise as the Scorpions matched Guinea strength for strength for most of the game.

Politics › Bogoro Crisis: Dogara Stripped Of Traditional Title In Bauchi by treesun(op): 1:57pm On Jan 24, 2022
A former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has been suspended by the Emir of Bauchi, Rilwanu Adamu, as Jakadan Bauchi.

The suspension followed the attacks on the convoys of the Emirs of Bauchi and Dass, Biliyaminu Othman, on December 31, 2021, by hoodlums on their way to Mwari for the 21st anniversary of a late leader and crusader, Peter Gonto.

Adamu, while speaking to journalists at a press conference in his Palace on Monday, said the suspension is with immediate effect.

The monarch, who was represented by the Galadiman Bauchi, Sa’idu Jahun, said, “More surprisingly, he did not sympathise nor showed any sign of remorse towards what happened to their Royal Highnesses, the Emirs of Bauchi and Dass.

“The Emirate Council, therefore, decided to suspend his title of Jakadan Bauchi until the determination of the case by the court.”

The PUNCH had reported that the convoys of the two Emirs who were on their way to a book launch/anniversary lecture and Foundation launch, of Gonto, when they were attacked after it turned violent and had to turn back to Bauchi with some vehicles in their convoys damaged. The windscreen of the Emir of Dass was among the vehicles partly destroyed.

Dogara, who represents Dass/Tafawa Balewa/Bogoro Constituency in the House of Representatives and is in his fourth term, had written a letter to the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, informing him of security threats if the event is allowed to hold.


But despite the warning, the Bauchi State Commissioner of Police, Umar Sanda, gave approval for the event to hold just as he ordered the full deployment of police tactical teams to provide security to lives and properties before, during and after the memorial anniversary and book launch of the grandfather of Dogara’s wife.

Shortly after the memorial lecture and book launch commenced at the Government Secondary School, Mwari in Bogoro LGA, women and youths besieged the venue of the event forcing it to end abruptly.

They later set the venue on fire burning down chairs, canopies, musical equipment and many other properties. Ten houses were later confirmed by the Bauchi State Police Command in a statement, as having been burnt during the crisis.
