Quit notice to Igbo is treasonable, says Ohanaeze

Image
• Blasts Police, security agencies over non-arrest of Arewa youths • Sets up committee on economic, political policies The Igbo apex socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, yesterday branded as treason, the recent quit notice issued to the Igbo resident in the north by a coalition of Arewa youths. More worrisome to Ohanaeze is “the clear incapacitation of the police and unwillingness to arrest them, their renewed aggression following the issuance of another statement involving an association of wider youth organisations in the north and the support offered to them by splinter elements of the Northern Elders Forum.” The President General of the group, Chief John Nnia Nwodo, likened the Arewa youths, utterances to the events preceding the mayhem against the Igbo in 1966. “Are the rhetoric of today not similar to the rhetoric before the 1966 pogrom? If there should be a repeat performance what explanation can we make to our people?” Nwodo said at the inauguration of a 100 me...

Senators, Reps to Fashola: Stop blackmailing us

Image
• National Assembly accuses minister of misleading public on budget slashing The Senate and House of Representatives are squaring up to Works, Housing and Power Minister Babatunde Fashola over allegation that the legislature messed up the ministry’s 2017 budget. They labelled the minister’s allegation as wrong information, half truth and blackmail. Fashola, last week, accused the lawmakers of slashing his ministry’s appropriation for some critical projects, and at the same time introducing 100 new projects to the 200 uncompleted ones he inherited from the Jonathan administration. The first response came from the Senate whose spokesman, Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, said Fashola did not give the public full details about the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Abdullahi said the project commenced as a private finance initiative whereas the minister prefers an arrangement that allows the Ministry to continue to award contracts and fund the project through government budgetary allocation at a time whe...

Evans: Police arrest Army Corporal, other ‘accomplices’

Image
POLICE operatives have arrested a Lance Corporal with the Army for being an alleged accomplice to suspected kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeje George Onwuamadike, alias Evans. The soldier identified as Victor Chukwunonso with force number 09/NA/64/6317 was apprehended at the weekend in Lagos after Evans named him and some prominent southeast businessmen as his accomplices. The suspect, serving at the Army Band Corps, Aba Iti Barracks in Surulere, was arrested around 9pm at Ojo by operatives of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Intelligence Response Team (IRT). Chukwunonso, a native of Onitsha in Anambra State, it was gathered, confessed to have followed Evans on three kidnap missions. According to sources, Chukwunonso confessed to have received N2million, N1.5million and N3million as shares from the three operations he participated in. Our correspondent gathered the soldier was one of many other security agencies being investigated after their names were mentioned by Evans as h...

Tinubu condemns calls for secession, break-up

Image
All Progressives Congress (APC) national stalwart, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, yesterday berated the brains behind the recent  quit notice to certain  Nigerians to leave the  north, and warned such people  to desist forthwith. He said, “Voices calling for violence must be roundly condemned for it is wrong to incite brother to go against brother and neighbour to combat neighbour,” Tinubu said in his Eid-el-Fitri message to Nigerians. “Voices calling for secession and break-up are wrong and should not be followed,” he declared in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Tunde Rahman. The spirit of sacrifice, self discipline, goodwill, justice, tolerance, mercy, forgiveness and compassion inherent in the Ramadan Fast, he said, should remain with Muslim faithful to guide their day-to-day interactions and relationships with one another. He added: “For all Muslim brothers and sisters and indeed for all Nigerians, may this be a happy and peaceful Eid-el-Fitri. “The holy mont...

Ex-militants at war over plot to remove Buhari’s adviser on amnesty

Image
•We’re ready for probe, says presidential amnesty office Tension is rising in the Niger Delta following a plot by a section of ex-militant leaders to launch a campaign for the removal of the Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Brig.-Gen. Paul Boroh (rtd). The group, Niger Deltans for Accountability and Good Governance (NDAGG), has already set up a Boroh-must-go website (http://www.ndagg) to push its case against the coordinator. It accused   the amnesty coordinator of denying ex-militants their entitlements. Rooting for Boroh, however, is the Niger Delta Concerned Ex-agitators (NDCE), which in a statement in Yenagoa yesterday , warned anti-Boroh elements to forget the protests and support the Buhari government. Also behind Boroh are ex-militant leaders of phases 2 and 3 who met in Port Harcourt, Rivers State with him. The Presidential Amnesty Office dismissed the anti-Boroh campaign as both a hatchet job and blackmail, saying, “Unfortunately, there...

Senate targets Ali over unremitted N4trillion Customs revenue

Image
There seems to be no let up in the Senate’s ongoing investigation of an alleged N4 trillion revenue leakage in the Nigeria Customs Service. The Nation can authoritatively report that the quest to probe the unremitted revenue may not be unconnected with the lawmakers’ resolve to aid nation’s economic recovery. Through its standing committee on Customs, Excise and Tariff, the upper legislative chamber has vowed to get to the roots of the alleged fraudulent acts, which it said, were perpetrated between 2006 and 2016. Giving insight on the fresh moves to probe the Customs high command, Chairman of the Senate committee, Hope Uzodinma who had last week confirmed the investigation into the matter, noted that the revenues were lost through lapses and various infractions. Vowing to ensure the recovery of the funds, Uzodinma had stated that preliminary investigation by his committee revealed that abuse and non implementation of Foreign Exchange Form M by the Customs management led to the re...

A budget and its controversies

Image
Although Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has signed the budget, he perhaps fired the first salvo when he said the National Assembly went beyond its brief, Dare Odufowokan, Assistant Editor, looks at the controversy around the budget. The 2017 budget and the many controversies surrounding it are the obvious issues of the moment in the last one week. Of course, following the long wait for the fiscal document before it was eventually signed into law last week by the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, whatever concerns it must interest all. Unfortunately, the recent tunes emanating from the two arms of government saddled with getting the budget ready, namely the Federal Executive Council (FEC) and the national assembly, are at best combative. Before, during and after the signing of the budget into law last week, the two arms of government have constantly disagreed over both the process and the product of the appropriation bill submitted before the national assembly last October. The origin...

‘I act like a General’

Image
Comrade Joe Ajaero is the president of the United Labour Congress (ULC), one of the organised labour movements in the country. In this interview with Ibrahim Apekhade Yusuf he speaks on his management style and shares his experience about running a vibrant labour movement. Excerpts:  A s a leader of men and resources, what is your management style? Well, l think there’s one thing common with driving a workers- based organisation: You’ve to get the buy-in of everyone. It’s not like you tell them what to do per se. You actually carry out their decisions; it’s like been a servant leader. For instance, at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting or the CWC meeting, you argue your position and also allow others to air their views. But whatever is now agreed upon, you simply go ahead and implement it. Having said that, l can tell you that to a very large extent, most of us believe in the ideology of workers centricity. Even if people think that the decisions we take may be hasty,...

Our season of mystification

The character of a nation is not the character of its president; the character of a nation is the character of its people—Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Senator When Nigeria obtained independence in 1960, the consensus among leaders was that Nigeria was the result of human construction, hence, the various constitutional conferences that culminated in the Republican Constitution of 1963. Nobody, not Frederick Lugard, Ahmadu Bello, Obafemi Awolowo, and Nnamdi Azikiwe, called Nigeria a creation of God. It was not common in the world at that time to pass the buck of poor architecture to God, as many highly placed leaders tend to do these days. In order to reinforce the status quo, political and cultural leaders have had for too long the tendency to make claims that are not realistic or rational, namely that it is God who created Nigeria and nobody should do or say anything that challenges God’s design. For example, long before anybody demanded for revival of Nigeria, many stakeholders warded off...
