UN doubts planned polls in Adamawa, Borno,Yobe Continued from Page 1 regions. Our fear is that counter-insurgency measures are yet to provide adequate protection for civilians from the threat posed by Boko Haram, with the civilian population in the three northeastern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe subjected to intense attacks and systematic human rights violations over the last six months. “The holding of polls throughout the states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa will present a formidable challenge.

The risk of pre-and post-electoral violence requires the international community to engage further with Nigeria; to address its ongoing challenges and support the holding of

credible and peaceful elections throughout the country.�

Mr. Chambas, giving his

'$% chief, also referred to political instability in the Gambia and Burkina Faso. “In Burkina Faso, meanwhile, a joint mission of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), African Union and United Nations helped secure an agreement among national stakeholders for a civilian-led transition when an uprising in October 2014 led to the abrupt resignation of President Blaise CompaorĂŠ, after he sought to amend the Constitution to run for a third term,â€? Chambas stated.

INEC has consistently said

it would conduct elections in the three northeastern states under emergency rule “if the coast is clear.�

Meanwhile, the Defence Headquarters has assured that the military would provide adequate security in every state of the federation before, during and after the general elections of next month.

Director of Defence Information, Major General Chris Olukolade, said the military would do everything possible to provide tight security around the country and ensure safety of lives and properties of every Nigerian irrespective of the person’s party /

* General Olukolade spoke in Abuja, saying there is noth-

ing to worry about over insecurity, assuring that the military would live up to public expectations by keeping the country safe and secure.

He said: “All considerations are on to put in whatever is required to comply with the security requirements of the nation in relation to elections or all other socio-economic activities.�

The Army General also stated that the North- East counter insurgency operation has progressed well lately, adding that the military is putting its best in the operation. “Everybody is doing his best and trying to improve and reverse any noted setback,� Olukolade assured.

IPAC embarks on nationwide voter education Cyril Mbah, Abuja

T

he Inter-Party Advisory Council of Nigeria (IPAC), an umbrella body of all registered political parties in the country, has called for free, fair, credible, and violence-free general election next month, even as it mobilized its members for a nationwide voter enlightenment campaign.

The Publicity Secretary of IPAC, Chief Godson Okoye said in Abuja that the this year’s general elections will be

ans to showcase their rich political culture and democratic ethos.

He called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that the elections do not witness a repeat of the hitches experienced in previous general elections since 1999.

The IPAC hoped that the

tions would have reinforced the commitment of politicians and the electoral umpire to improve on the country’s electoral process.

“We are optimistic that the forthcoming polls will be transparent and peaceful and we urge political parties to support INEC in carrying out this monumental national duty that will deepen and strengthen our emerging democracy. “We also urge political parties to abide by the code of conduct, which all the parties subscribed to and swore to re-

spect,� Okoye said.

He also urged all registered voters who have not collected their permanent voters’ cards 0 1 /

respective local government areas and collect them to avoid being disenfranchised on election days.

He declared that in furtherance to its civic responsibility, IPAC in conjunction with

INEC, will embark on public enlightenment programme in all the six geopolitical zones of the country starting in the North Central zone.

The event, he said, starts today at the Garki II Model Market, Abuja, by 9.00a.m. IPAC invited all political parties to be part of the event, saying it is “a noble cause that will support and strengthen our nascent democracy.�

INEC to publish 2015 voters’ register Tuesday Saminu Ibrahim, Abuja

T

he Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will on Tuesday next week publish the Register of Voters to be deployed in the conduct of next month’s general elections.

According to INEC bulletin 705 released yesterday in Abuja: “This is a crucial milestone on the journey to the 2015 General Elections.�

The commission hinged its decision on section 20 of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended), which provides that the Register of Voters for an elec-

tion shall be published at least thirty (30) days before the elections. “The 2015 General Elections will take place on February 14 and 28, 2015,� INEC emphasized.

Similarly, the commission recalled that Timetable And Schedule of Activities for the 2015 General Elections released to the public on 24th January 24 last year shows under item 10 that the Commission shall release/publish / "

{

for the election on January 13, 2015. “By the same token, the

Commission shall publish the list of nominated candidates contesting for the Presidency and National Assembly on January 13, 2015. The list of

ures released by the Commission’s Voter Registry Department shows that as at January 7, 2015, INEC had received about 54,341,610 Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs); distributed 38,774,219 nation-wide and had a balance of 15,567, 219 which are yet to be collected.

Yunusa said.

According to him, making deals that are not respected with neighbouring countries could lead to defeat for Nigeria even when it is a positive approach to carry everyone along. He, however, frowned at a situation where Nigeria’s neighbours treat the country with scorn.

Yunusa advised the Federal Government to promptly report the withdrawal of the two countries to the African Union, alleging that they might have been sabotaging Ni @

world that its military has what it takes to defend the country without foreign help.

He said: “We should not rely on foreign soldiers to Boko Haram. Rather, the Federal Government should properly empower our soldiers with better weapons and send them to defend the North East zone,� stressing that Nigerian soldiers will be more

insurgents than foreign forces.

Manzo also said Nigeria is ripe to own nuclear weapons for deterrence purposes.

He said: “We should now review our security strategies and agenda, and plan for the future.

Our future plans should include developing a nuclear deterrent capability. “We must not allow the world to think that Boko Haram has weakened the country in any way. We have capable soldiers who are well trained but they need modern weapons to properly engage the miscreants.�

Another public commentator, Chief Winston Odumu-Ojobi said: “The withdrawal of Chad and Niger from the Multinational Joint Task Force is enough proof that these countries do not wish

Nigeria well and may be supporting the Boko Haram insurgents in their attempt to destabilise Nigeria.�

Winston also urged the Federal Government to declare total war on Boko Haram saying the group has shown, by its mode of operation, that it is at war with Nigeria.

Odumu-Ojobi, a former Head of International Relations for Alhaji Ibrahim Shekarau Presidential Campaign Organisation and the former Deputy National Chairman of the United Nigeria Peoples Party (UNPP), said: “Since Boko Haram has declared war on us, we should also declare total war on them.

Nigeria is the most powerful country in Africa just as the United States is the most powerful country in the world. “No country should be allowed to take us for granted or hold us to ransom. Nigerians will give the president the backing he requires to declare full scale war on Boko Haram.�

Cover Paris Attack: Two suspects, 4 others killed in grocery hostage saga

By yesterday afternoon, explosions and gunshots rang out and white smoke rose up outside a printing plant in Dammartin-en-Goele, northeast of Paris, where brothers Cherif Kouachi, 32, and Said Kouachi, 34, had holed up with a hostage.

Security forces had surrounded the building for most of the day. After the explosions,

About 100 students were placed under lockdown in schools nearby and the highway ringing Paris was closed.

Hours before and 40 kilometers away , a convoy of police trucks, helicopters and ambulances streamed toward Dammartin-en-Goele, a small industrial town near Charles de Gaulle airport, to seize the Charlie Hebdo suspects, who had hijacked a car in a nearby town after more than two days on the run. “They said they want to die as martyrs,� Yves Albarello, a local lawmaker inside the command post, told French television station i-Tele.

He further said the withdrawal of Chadian and Niger Republic troops from the Multinational Joint Task Force is a clear indication that the two countries were either actively or passively supporting the terrorists, and would be delighted to see the collapse of Nigeria.

Last week, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh had told State House correspondents after a National Security Council meeting that member countries of the Multinational Joint : 2 !

Chad and Niger were not cooperating, adding that they had actually withdrawn their troops from the headquarters of the operation, leading to the attack on Baga.

Badeh, who spoke at the Presidential villa on the counter-terrorism operations in the north east, said even though the two countries pulled out their soldiers, it may be premature to assume that they

have completely rejected the multinational defence arrangement.

Badeh added that, “initially, Chad kept its troops on their own side of the border but later, they were withdrawn. Niger initially had troops with us; but after learning about the withdrawal of Chadian troops, they too withdrew and left Nigerians only at the Multinational Force Headquarters.�

They should believe in this nation called Nigeria. They should allow free, fair, credible election, particularly INEC and security agencies. They should allow for peaceful coexistence, they should allow for violence-free election this year because this year, by the Grace of God, Nigeria will overcome,� he said.

Responding to question on the level of preparation of the party for the election, Abdulsalam explained that though LP has no presidential candidate, the party’s governorship candidates and other standard-bearers for various positions have begun a house-to-house campaign. “Some people in Ebonyi and Delta State have started house-to-house campaign.

Most of them have started their own campaigns in their own way.

$400m bitumen project: Bizman fumes, Oyo guber: ‘All candidates are brothers’ threatens Ibadan-Abuja protest walk S Olaide Oyelude, Ibadan

Olaide Oyelude, Ibaddan

A

N i g e r i a n businessman, Mr. Olubodun Adewumi, will today (Saturday) commence a protest walk from Ibadan to Abuja over his alleged non-issuance of Bitumen exploration licence by the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development despite President Goodluck Jonathan’s approval last six months.

He added that he began the process of securing the licence four years ago while the President’s approval for the project was six months ago.

The businessman who relocated from abroad

four years ago because of the project, told journalists in Ibadan, Oyo state capital that he had put up a consortium of veteran geologists and geophysicists for the project while he and his team intended to come to Nigeria with 100 per cent of the project funds which he put at $400 million including $30 million earmarked for the local community development.

He recounted, “Anyone who has had the misfortune of travelling along the Ijebu-Ode Ore axis of the Benin-Ore express way cannot but lament the deplorable state of that section of the road.

South East I’ll beat all oppositions, NCP senatorial candidate boasts Cyprian Ebele, Onitsha

T

he senatorial candidate of the National Conscience Party (NCP) in Anambra State, Chief Peter Okala, said yesterday that he would defeat incumbent Senator Andy Uba of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including candidates of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the coming general elections.

Speaking after a closed door meeting of the party executives in Uga, Aguata Local Government Area, Chief Okala said those that represented the zone in the past and currently, have failed to provide dividends of democracy to their constituents. “We have seen

leaders who want to steal votes; in the past 12 years, the people have been impoverished. The said leaders will come back to lure them with gifts in

exchange for their votes.

They could not provide dividend of democracy to the people; our roads are bad, no quality representation from our National Assembly members. “This prompted my people to beckon on me after a long search to represent them, and Q ?

PDP, APC and APGA candidates. “My people want a transformation that will empower the youths and the youths have God-given wisdom.We can take the God-given youth’s intellectual resourcefulness to develop the zone. “The youths in the area have vowed to never again support leaders in Diaspora as they are not on ground. “A leader that is always in the convoy; a leader who has no love for his people cannot be allowed again to represent us,� he posited.

Igbo marginalisation in APC is self inflicted – Ngige

/5

A

ll Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart, Senator Chris Ngige, has expressed concern over what he described as ‘selfmarginalisation� by the people of the South East following their refusal to embrace the party.

Ngige, who spoke to newsmen in Awka, the Anambra State capital, said that he did not spare ! convince his kiths and kins, even had to take the gospel of APC to Ohaneze Ndigbo at their various meetings both in Enugu and Lagos, but nobody listened to him.

The Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial zone said that Igbo, which

their eggs in one basket by their unalloyed support for Peoeples Democratic Party (PDP), tagged him “Mallam Ngige.�

Lamenting what he also called political short sightedness of Ndigbo, Ngige declared that the geopolitical zone has lost in this dispensation except “Igbo merchants and businessmen make a decisive change of heart,� blaming the South East press for not explaining

people of the zone.

He said that even when some of the them from the East argued that the South East is weak in APC and the vice-presidential slot should be given to them to strengthen the zone in

the party, it was clear that the zone that supported the party and made more

position.

He said that in the PDP, which the South East people are holding so tight, they have nothing; the president, vice-president, the Senate president, the Speaker of the House, Service Chiefs, Comptroller- General of Customs and many of such strategic positions.

Ngige said that the price of oil in the international market is drastically going down like the era of late Sani Abacha, but stated that even in the face of low oil price, Nigerians will survive because our economy is resilient.

He however, stressed that

even when the country’s oil was being sold at over 100 dollars per a barrel, there were lots of leakages, saying that the Federal budget was at no time funded up to 80 percent.

He added that implementation of the budget has always been oscillating around 30 percent capital expenditure and 60 percent recurrent, saying that is the reason APC wants to ! the Federal Government.

Ngige, who is the South East zonal director of Buhari Campaign Organisation, said the budgeting process of the present Federal Government left much to be desired, adding that with the current oil price, austerity measure has come to stay with us.

Customs records 363 seizures valued at N1.8bn /00 3

T

he Federal Operations Unit (FOU), Zone ‘C’ of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), has recorded a total of 363 seizures of illegally imported items with a Duty Paid Value (DPV) of N1,805,843,064 and under payment recovered of N71,762,029, totalling N1,877,605,093 for last year.

According to the Area Controller of the Unit, Mr. Victor Dimka, this is against the199 seizures recorded in 2013.

He said that a total of 104 arrests were made with 134 cases pending in the court uring the year under review in contrast to that of 31arrests recorded in the year 2013 with 20 cases in court.

Giving details of the

summary of seizures recorded, Dimka disclosed that vehicles alone topped the list with a total of 237 seizures of which 209 were with fake documents while 28 were abandoned.

The highest number of seizures was recorded in April, September and December apparently due to increased desperation of the smugglers during the months; just as the highest DPV were made in the months of April and September precisely.

Parents agitation against NYSC postings

T

he need to establish a peaceful coexistence among Nigerians gave rise to the establishment of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) by the then Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon through Decree No. 24 of May 22, 1973, which stated that the scheme was established “with a view to the proper encouragement and development of common ties among the youths of Nigeria.�

The establishment of the scheme was to resolve issues bordering on: 1) Total integration of the country, especially the youths; 2) complete elimination of tribalism among Nigerians; 3) speaking and hearing lanuages of other ethnic groups; and above all, intermarriages of all ethnic groups in Nigeria.

Since inception, it has achieved many good things too numerous to mention, among which are good health, educational promotion, rural development and many others.

However, things started falling apart when in 2011, rampaging Muslims slaughtered youth corps members who were assisting the Independent National Electoral Commission in the conduct of the 2011 presidential election.

Shortly afterwards, some governors of northern states dished out cash incentives to families of the slain corps members as

compensation for the heinous act, saying they died in active duty. The amount was not in any way up to what families of the victims spent on the training of the victims or neigher will it help bring back the slain sons and daughters.

Even before the 2011 incident, corps members posted to the North for national assignments have had close shaves with death hence the present agitations by parents against the posting of their wards to serve in the North.

Recently, the Director-General of the NYSC, Brigadier Olayemi, while addressing journalists insisted that everyone has a right to reject a posting he does not like, adding that “if you were posted to Sokoto to serve, you have every right to reject it by saying no, I will not go there.�

It will therefore, be wise if the DG or whichever authority is responsible for corps m,embers’ posting to desist from sending graduates who are not of northern extraction to serve in the North. He should ensure that corps members serve in their regions of origin, and if need be, in their home states now that the North appears unsafe.

So Buhari is the best APC can offer

By Mustapha Abdullahi

I

s Muhammadu Buhari really the best the # ‚ ' ! ƒ This question has come to the fore since Buhari, Nigeria’s former military leader beat the likes of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha and Leadership Newspaper publisher, Sam Nda-Isaiah, to clinch the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress. His victory at the December 11, 2014 National Convention has the imprimatur of former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu, and so does the choice of Professor Yemi Osinbajo as his running mate, raising disquiet within the party of a grand design by two power blocks to corner the party and its decision making process.

The internal contradictions in the party pale

generated by Buhari’s nomination is considered.

What have come into focus since that victory are the credentials Buhari brings into the contest and why he has arrogantly refused to come to terms with his sordid past. The question whether he is #‚ ! considering the huge baggage of negative perception associated with his tenure as Nigeria’s military leader.

Buhari’s past will always haunt him politically. His actions as military Head of State between December 1983 and August 1985, the documented cases of ethnic bias against him, his tainted democratic ? „ and his warped worldview, have been the reasons for his failure in successive presidential contests from *……† *…‡‡% [ *…‡+ ! on how the questions surrounding his democratic credentials are interrogated. That his name continues ' ] abuse ranging from rights infringement to murder, certainly does not help, just like the perception that he still harbours such sadistic dispositions - a perception that cost him the three previous contests; 2003, 3007 and 2011.

The charge of ethnic bias has trailed Buhari throughout his public life. It manifested in 1984

when he bent the rules to accommodate the father of his then aide-de-camp, who had smuggled in 53 suitcases loaded with Nigerian currency when he had supposedly shut the borders for a change of the Nigerian currency. Also as chairman of the defunct Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) that was set up by the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, he converted

a certain section of the country. At the end of the PTF activities, those who had viewed Buhari as a nationalist were dismayed to discover that he ran the PTF like a sectional enclave.

His cancellation of the Lagos metroline project conceived by Second Republic governor of Lagos State, Lateef Jakande, is an instance of poor judgment of public policy. That singular act, designed to build underground transport system to address the chaotic / transportation challenges in that mega city.

The government, which Buhari led, was a dictatorship of the worst kind, but the fact that he / high-handedness is unimaginable. A true statesman should have the courage to admit errors of the past for it is only then that it can be used as a guide to the future. His ascension to leadership of the nation witnessed an unprecedented hounding of politicians into detention and jail, most of them on trumped up charges of corruption; to demonise the political actors of the time and legitimise his action of sacking a democratically elected Federal Government.

The obnoxious Decree 4 under which two prominent journalists, Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor, were jailed for a story they published in The Guardian Newspapers is a case in point. Buhari’s ' _ }

Second Republic Transport Minister, who had taken refuge as an exile in London, is another. For the General, he has developed thick skin to such criticisms of his poor human rights record, which he sees as a road well travelled. The question is: Are these issues Nigerians are prepared to associate ‚ ƒ " Buhari is as unbending as he was thirty years ago and his arrogance continues to manifest in his statements and actions today. The conclusion is obvious, and the

fear that he will visit the country with worse policies and draconian rule are not misplaced after all.

By the time the 2015 presidential election is held next month, Buhari would have broken $ ' / ' times. The All Progressives Congress (APC) on which platform he has indicated interest in contesting the position again, will be his third political party; the previous ones being the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC). Why ƒ ^ ' $ *……† *…… as recent as Saturday, April 16, 2011 when the Congress for Progressive Change on which platform he contested, lost the 2011 Presidential Election to President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party. Not only was the defeat emphatic, it was also believed to signpost Buhari’s journey to political retirement after a career in which his electoral performance has always been far below his rating. How he squares up against candidate Goodluck Jonathan, who is virtually unblemished by any negative allegations or stigmas, will be interesting.

Business News Controversy trails release of N100 commemorative note Abiodun Awogbemi

A

tale of controversy has continued to trail the newly introduced N100 commemorative note which has the signatures of the Governor of the Central Bank $ “ — } of Currency Operations, Olu Folorunso.

The new note which hit the streets few days to the New Year was reportedly rejected by transport operators while privileged travelers ! % At Oshodi area of Lagos State, an Eastern bound passenger included the new notes in his bundle of money for payment, but was turned down by the cashier, who explained that it was not accepted in the East as there has been no form of education or enlightenment by the government to the people in the hinterland.

The notes which have now circulated over a large area are also being rejected on daily basis.

According to a trader, Mrs. Suliat Awemo, the note made a sudden appearance, adding that she was not aware that the government has ! one.

She said aside the changes, the money look like a counterfeit and can easily be faked. She berated the government for changing the currency in secrecy.

A banker, Tosin Aloba, while commenting on the new note, told Newswatch Times that there was rejection in the bank as many people refused to collect it on the ground that it lacks the qualities of a good legal tender.

He said “When we pay some people with the new notes they quickly change it with anyone who wants to make deposit. The reason for the rejection was not unconnected with its sudden appearance in the public domain, government each time make mistakes of believing that policies advertised on the pages – ' to the grassroots. Also, people have lost interest in the present government to the extent that anything coming from the government is seen ! governance.�

A scene was created at a bus stop recently when an elderly man bought a soft drink and paid a teenage hawker with the N100 note as N1000. While the girl went about looking for ‘change’, she was told that what she had was a N100 note. In anger, the culprit who claimed ignorance of the worth of the note, was manhandled by other hawkers.

He said that measures were taken into consideration while producing the new note. @}

and in doing that we introduced a two-sided interglow barriers, both at the front and the

Explaining the features further, he said on the front side of the note is a public authentication feature, window micro-optics, showing the ? ‡…… ' of the centenary period.

The second is a spark feature of a rolling manila bar which was the instrument used during the slave trade era. A portrait of Chief Obafemi Awolowo is retained both in the ink, that is the interglow level, as a portrait and also in a paper as a shadow image. “We made provision on the front for the visually impaired individuals in our midst by having a raised and embossed line,� he said.

At the backside, the CBN introduced a feature called Quick Response Code (QRC). It is a feature that highlights and sources all the information about the centenary. The QRC is an application found on smart phones or iPad. Once the barcode on the back of the note is scanned, it shows the President’s face, and then comes up with all information on Nigeria’s history.

The other side of Jonathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s N21bn presidential war chest The cumulative donation of N21.27 billion by some companies, individuals and parastatals during a presidential fund raising dinner organised by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday, December 20, 2014 in Abuja has raised a lot of dust.

ABIODUN AWOGBEMI reports.

T

he donation of N21.27 billion by yet to be named individuals and companies towards President Goodluck Jonathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s re-election campaign has elicited anger, frustration and mistrust.

According to an economist, Jerry Uwanah, no one will have taken notice if the donors are not undesirable elements of the society who ought to have been behind bars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For government to hobnob with all these questionable characters is an indication that ?

ample evidence that there are many people of questionable character who might have also made donations under anonymity. There is hunger in the land; the government is calling for austerity measures, yet this sum of money is coming to propagate an election campaign.

The question that begs for an answer is, who \ Â&#x192;> A political analyst, Joseph Adeyanju is of the opinion that it is wrong for government parastals and ministries to use tax payersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money to sponsor the campaign of a particular party, adding that it is morally and ethically wrong and against the constitution for a ministry to be partisan. He queried the rationale behind the government allowing its platform to be used for illegality as if it had approved impunity.

According to Punch Newspaper editorial, it raises the issue of legality of the donations negates the electoral law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Though how a political partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s candidate raises his or her ! process must comply with the extant laws and pass the integrity test. First, Nigerian laws are unambiguous on campaign expenses and funding. The 1999 Constitution in Section 221 clearly states: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No association, other than a political party, shall canvass for votes for any candidate at any election or contribute to the funds of any political party or to the election expenses of any candidate at an %> & # Z Act also expressly forbids companies in Section 38 (2) from funding or donating gifts, property or money to any political party or association.

million; power, N500 million; construction, N310 million; road construction, N250 million; National Automotive Association, N450 million; and Shelter Development Limited, N250 million. Going by the Electoral Act, which caps the donation an individual could make at N1 million, 5,000 donors must have been behind Ganaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s N5 billion gift.

There was also the question of if the donors pay their tax, especially the mysterious unnamed friends who Femi Adewale, a lawyer, called criminals seeking coverage which the present government is providing or has provided.

He, however, called on the president, if his hand is clean, to order for the name of donors to be made public as this will shock the world to the marrow about the identity of these unscrupulous friends, saying that it should also be of interest to know if those donors and @ > ' with appropriate tax obligations.

The editorial has stated that many Nigerians will also be interested in knowing how the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission, which was credited with producing N15 million, came about its donation.

Why APC canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold guber primary in Benue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Party chieftain A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Terver Kighir, has attributed the crisis in the Benue State chapter of the party to its leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-handedness.

Kighir who was Makurdiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), told Newswatch Times during an interview that the leader does not listen to advice.

He spoke further on why the state APC cannot hold the governorship primary, the consensus candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impasse and the way out of the imbroglio. Below are the details of the chat our correspondent, GODWIN AKOR, held with him.

W

hy is it that the APC cannot hold its governorship primary in Benue State?

The problem lies with the leader who is trying to impose someone through the window. They are telling him to allow the primary to hold. It is left for him to allow it so that the followers could be happy. For now, there is no insult, no infringement of rights; but we are saying it should be a free primary. If it is going to be by a consensus, then all the aspirants should agree and say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes,â&#x20AC;? this is the person we have chosen.

Who is this consensus candidate?

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know him but I know that the consensus person should know the implication of what he is doing. He has been a leader of a political party; he has been participating in party primaries.

The citizens are only protecting their rights when they say the proper thing should be done. He should advise the leadership to listen to the followers. I am advising the consensus person to retrace his steps. The other aspirants should protect their rights, and the leader of the party should listen to his subjects because only one tree cannot make a forest.

Terver The problem is in-house; at the end of it, they would wash themselves and come out. I advise them to end it quickly so that they can come out and face other candidates. The submission of f names of candidates has been extended to December 26 while substitution lasts till January 11 but we need to clear the atmosphere and get set for campaign and elections as

planned.

What is the solution to the problem in Benue APC? The position of the APC is not / Â&#x152; % & followers are saying congresses should take place but the leader of the party is saying he has brought somebody and there was no consensus on that.

The issue of waiver should have come before the issue of consensus.

If the leader corrects the anomaly, % & ' aspirants can reach a consensus.

Why did you leave the PDP for the APC? The party was no longer listening to the followership. A party should join hands with its followers to make it grow. The party was not listening to the followers; it was not using advice.

Any time problems emerged because advice was not used, blames were returned to us. Secondly, I was looking forward to my mentor, Emmanuel Jome, who was in the National Assembly. He saw more than myself and said we should move to the APC. It was for these two reasons, I had to leave for the APC. Assessment of the APC # ! the APC and the PDP is not much.

The same issue of not listening to followership is also in the APC. Those who say they are founders of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) feel they are supreme. But in Â&#x201A;}Â&#x201A; ! % & is division in the APC. Former ACN members want to dominate; but in PDP, people are of one family.

However, the PDP gives preference to the higher class.

At the national level, the APC is trying to organise itself so that it can have a human face. Its national convention was peacefully conducted. & ! '

The problem lies with the leader who is trying to impose someone through the window. They are telling him to allow the primary to hold. It is left for him to allow it so that the followers could be happy. For now, there is no insult, no infringement of rights; but we are saying it should be a free primary the new APC leadership which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the imposition of candidates where congresses are not held. They are directing that primaries should be properly held.

Strength of the PDP and the APC in Benue State The PDP has tried to bring out a candidate but there appears to be impositions in the party. In some places, candidates were not allowed to nominate candidates of their choice just like in then APC. This happened in Makurdi/Guma in respect of the PDP; while in the APC, it happened in the Jechira federal constituency.

Abia: Time to choose a redeeming leader Pat Okoro

A

s the race for Abia State governorship election gathers momentum, only a candidate with proven integrity, global contacts, intelligence, ability to manage men and

rescue Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own state from the doldrums.

It is no secret that Abia has witnessed lack luster leadership and infrastructural decay Â&#x2021;Â&#x160;Â&#x160;Â&#x2021;% [ or civilian administration, Abia indigenes have yearned for true governance.

Time was when Aba represented the commercial brain box of Igboland, but not anymore. Rather, Aba is today a unique antiquity, with total collapse of infrastructure, and businesses literally on their knees. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start overnight; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a degeneracy that set in progressively. Sadly, no government - including ] ! ' the trend, Abia is perhaps the only State south of the Niger River that is without internal roads to connect communities, and this is not to run anybody down.

Back to Aba; when it rains, the city roads are practically impassable. Try accessing Ariaria Market when it rains.

On December 23 last year, the Managing Director of Nigeria Railways Corporation

Governor Orji (NRC), Mr. Sijuwade told a stunned Vice President Nemadi Sambo, Governor T.A. Orji of Abia State, Chairman of SURE-P, Lt. Gen Martin Luther Agwai (Rtd) and others that the new locomotive train acquired by the corporation could complete a trip from Port Harcourt to Aba because heaps of refuse had taken over the railway line in Aba. So Samboâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s train had to stop at Imo River. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the depth of decay to which Aba has sunken.

The reason not far-fetched! Someone who is remunerated with the tax payerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money failed to rid Aba and Umuahia of refuse. Curiously, Â&#x201A;}Â&#x201A; ? ? ' %

Alex Otti For Umuahia, it has never received the ' % Q a railway town reminiscent of a colonial relic, without anything to justify its twenty-something years with the elite status.

The few industries like the Modern Ceramic and Golden Guinea Breweries have been moribund for years. It has been recommended that leaders of Abia need to visit neighbouring states like Anambra, Enugu and Imo to borrow a few tips in governance.

In this era of politics, the only visible development in Umuahia is the array of campaign billboards that largely abused the

urban scenery. They adorn the streets as though the practice will soon go out of fashion.

Indeed Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own State hemorrhages in search of good governance, not with the advent of political impunity being witnessed at the moment. Only recently, campaign billboards of opposition candidates were destroyed by suspected political thugs emboldened by their paymaster to do his dirty bidding.

Q # _ ' ! neglect, it is left to imagination the state of ! % & government presence in these towns yet Abia is an oil producing state. For example, a road commissioned recently by the state authorities in one of the LGAs turned out to be a hoax. The 19 kilometer road was awarded to an indigenous company. After the commissioning, which made headlines in the press, a team of investigative journalists visited the road and discover that only four of the 19 kilometers had actually been tarred.

In Arochukwu LGA, for example, the government constructed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;General Hospitalâ&#x20AC;? without equipping it. A resident of the town described the place as a mere â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Asked reason for his assertion, he retorted what a hospital without beds, laboratories, drugs, ambulances, doctors and nurses can be described as.

Dolphins GM flays Pinnick over Eduok .Says NFF Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action hasty

G

eneral Manager of Dolphins FC, Joe Johnson, says Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick was â&#x20AC;&#x153;too hastyâ&#x20AC;? in chasing Emem Eduok out of the Super Eagles camp, following the playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement in a double transfer saga.

Johnson made his position known while = sports writers during the week on the expulsion of Eduok from the Super Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; camp in Abuja following the controversy surrounding his recent

transfer process to Esperance of Tunisia.

Johnson began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The NFF president is the father of Nigerian

Football and as a result it is expected that he should act like a father of all he is by at least giving Eduok the opportunity of fair hearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us at Dolphins we are going to establish communication with Amaju on this issue because we believe that Eduok ought to have been given the opportunity of fair hearing before any action will be taken against him,â&#x20AC;? Johnson explained.

It is recalled that following the controversy surrounding Edouk recent transfer to Tunisian league champions, Esperance that it was discovered that he

had already signed for a Norwegian club, Sarpsborg.

It was this anomaly that led Pinnick to go to Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; camp where he asked Edouk to leave the camp. Eagles will this week be involved in two friendly matches against Cote dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ivoire and Sudan in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirate this weekend as a part of the rebuilding process of the national team.

Explained his decision to throw Edouk out of the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; camp, an angry Pinnick said his action was to teach players who would like to toe Edoukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path some lessons on how not to do things

According to Chukwu, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course it is true that Kelechi Emetole has been recruited to steer the ! X the season starts in March. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His recruitment is a good one since he is a former player of the club, we hope that he will be able to turn things around

and bring back the past glory of Rangers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is our expectation that Rangers will do well this year under Emetole.

It will be good if at the end of the 2014/15 season Rangers will be able to either win a trophy or win

a continental ticket for the fans and other stakeholder for their faith in the club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a thing of joy if we can make it to the trophy this season for it has been very long since Rangers won trophy last of secure a continental ticket,â&#x20AC;? Chukwu said.

Nkwopara began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the avoidance of doubt, it is important to note that by the time Emetole joined Rangers, he was a free agent as his contract with

us ended at the end of the season because he signed a year contract with us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, he does own us anything because he honoured his contract with Heartland.

N

\] international

Clement Temile has backed Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick for taking the bold step to sack Emem Eduok from the Super Eagles camp following the playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transfer saga.

Temile said Pinnick has shown heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in charge of the situation and by so doing, has laid down a good exampla for future NFF leaders to follow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I must say I am impressed by Pinnickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prompt response to the situation. Eduok, perhaps through his agent, has been careless

in this situation, and need time and space to sort out the mess,â&#x20AC;?

Temile said during a chat with Newswatch

By Mark Ogagan

O

ne time Boavista of Portugal hit man, Richard Owubokiri says tremendous focus on the English Premier League

In apparent reference to Nigeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vincent Enyeama ] shortlist but was not given a chance to win the crown because he plies his trade with Lille FC in the French Ligue1, the former Super Eagles striker said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high time CAF ' in terms of the awards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could see from the previous yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; awards that players who play in other leagues hardly stand a chance

the English league, they hardly get noticed,â&#x20AC;? Owubokiri noted.

Cote dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ivoireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yaya Toure won a record fourth African award on Thursday in Lagos, edging Vincent Enyeama and Â&#x201C; Â&#x201A; ]Â&#x2014;

Aubameyang to second and place respectively, at a colourful ceremony in Lagos.

The annual accolade is voted for by coaches and captains of the continentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national teams.

Toure earned the nomination on the back of excellent performances for Manchester City in the Premier League rather than his achievements with his country, who failed to reach the second round at the World Cup in Brazil and struggled through the = *Â&#x2026;Â&#x2021;+ # Nations Cup. & Â&#x2020;Â&#x2021;] ] Manchester Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s League Cup ' Z *Â&#x2026; their run to the Premier League !

IOC laments Carrasquillaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing

I

t is with great sadness that the International Â&#x2022; (IOC) learned of the death of Fidel Mendoza Carrasquilla, who died on Tuesday at the age of 89. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fidel Mendoza Carrasquilla was a pioneer and a fervent campaigner for sport in his home country of Colombia and throughout South America.

He understood the power of sport to change peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives and he worked tirelessly to bring its values across South America.

As an IOC member he brought his considerable medical knowledge to the

Medical Commission for 16 years. He was a great man and a great servant of sport who gave his time and energy to the Olympic Movement. His warm and friendly personality was highly appreciated by all the IOC members. He will be sadly missed by us all,â&#x20AC;? declared IOC President Thomas Bach.

An IOC Member from 1988 to 2006, and Honorary Member since 2006, Fidel Mendoza Carrasquilla sat on the IOC Medical

He was also one of the pioneers of baseball in South America, as he founded the Bogota Baseball League in 1969 and was its President until 1979.

In parallel to his many commitments in sports administration, he obtained a doctorate in medicine and surgery at the National University of Bogota (1953), before specialising in internal medicine and joining the Colombian Institute of Social Security. He was also an Air Force physician for 26 years.

In addition, he placed his medical skills at the service of sport as team doctor

Why couples live apart

olaopasb@yahoo.co.uk

Female sexuality and pregnancy continued from last week Family and friends may give you all kinds of advice about harmful sexual practices during pregnancy and you may also have a condition that puts you at high risk for miscarriage. Your doctor is your best source of accurate information, and can answer all of your questions regarding which sexual activities are safe for you. If a position is not comfortable for you, you may try other options experimenting with ! \ ~ safety and hygiene precautions).

Third Trimester The last three month of the pregnancy is called the third trimester. There is a dramatic decline in sexual activity, interest, and satisfaction among women and men alike during the third trimester. You may feel awkward and uncomfortable, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re immersed in preparing for the babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival. You may0 also fear that sex will trigger labour, bleeding, pain, and injury to the unborn baby. Again, your doctor is your source for information and reassurance about these concerns.

Sexuality After Delivery Changes in sexuality continue after delivery. Levels of sex hormones plunge temporarily leading to a state that is almost like menopause. You may have vaginal dryness and irritability, with thinning of the vaginal walls. This results in decreased ' ? \

sex uncomfortable and less desirable.

These symptoms may be aggravated by breastfeeding. However, new mothers often experience sensual pleasure during breastfeeding, which is thought to be an essential part of the bonding process.

Common responses include nipple erection and uterine contractions while nursing, and milk leakage during sexual arousal are all normal reactions at this time.

Other factors that may decrease your sexual desire in the postpartum period include: ¡ Exhaustion from night time feeding and infant care ¡ Spells of depression or â&#x20AC;&#x153;baby bluesâ&#x20AC;? ¡ Pain during sex from injuries during delivery ¡ Poor body image ¡ Adjusting to your role as a mother ¡ Fear of awakening the baby or inability to hear the baby crying.

The important thing is for you and your partner to recognize these new stresses and make allowances for them. If any problems persist for a long time such as pain during intercourse or prolonged feelings of depression, you should report them to your doctor.

Understanding Is the Key Pregnancy generally has an increasingly ' ! \ ' satisfaction as you get closer to delivery.

You can prevent this from happening by talking things over with your partner and your doctor week by week throughout pregnancy. Remember that these changes have physical causes, and understanding these physical causes can prevent feelings of rejection and resentment from festering.

Keep the lines of communication open, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let misunderstanding ruin this time of joy.

Points to Discuss With Your doctor ¡ Ask about other means of sexual stimulation during pregnancy. ¡ Ask about alternative sexual positions, such as side-lying (â&#x20AC;&#x153;spooningâ&#x20AC;?), female superior, rear entry, and use of pillows to assist. ¡ Ask whether sexual activity and orgasm pose any risk to the baby.

Road to 2015 Polls

Lagos guber:Ambodeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll beat Agbaje â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Razak

can have very healthy Nigerians who will not ! % & happen to this country is for Buhari to emerge as president. That is what all and sundry should be praying for; that is what the media should work towards.

Chief Khamaldeen Lanrewaju Mabadeje Razak last _ ( ` q x { | }

questions from ASSISTANT POLITICS EDITOR, MANSUR OLADUNJOYE on the emergence of Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the state, the choice of retired Gen. Muhammadu Buhari by the party, the local politics in the state and other topical issues like the prospects of President Goodluck Jonathan at next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elections. Excerpts:

H

ow would you rate the APC in Lagos so far?

The party is barely a year old. People believe mergers never work in this country.

But with the leadership of the party, most importantly, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu and a host of others in the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), the defunct Congress for Political Change (CPC), All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and others who knew they have a price to pay for the merger to work - and the price is very important â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the merger has worked so far.

Knowledgeable Nigerians know that Nigeria ! and until we have that change, we cannot deal with the terrible people at the centre who no longer meet the needs of the people.

You may wish to tell me the area of human endeavour that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has met the needs of Nigerians. Is it on roads, education, health, transportation or housing? Not even in the agricultural sector that they are planning to use to replace the golden fortune of oil. They have not been able to do anything because those of us in the APC are

Nigerians to continue to lack amid plenty. Our manifesto provides a platform to bring back the most needed and missing egalitarian society ! number of people. We cannot be the fourth largest oil producer in the world for several years and yet our people are living in abject poverty. That is unacceptable to us and that is why we have worked tirelessly to make sure that the APC is not just coming out as a party. It is coming out to wrestle power; it is coming out to save Nigeria. That is why we are asking for the desired change and we shall get it.

As the strong man of Epe politics, how well would you say the APC has represented your people?

Â&#x201C; ' than it is now. The party has decided to zone the governorship slot to the east senatorial district of the state and by the support of the leadership and God, Epe provides the new gubernatorial candidate of the party. That is a beautiful thing Â&#x152; involved and I can assure you that no vote will be outside the APC in the Epe division this time.

Sir, by that question, I mean the infrastructure ' Â&#x201C; ' " government.

What else do we want? By asking for more, we shall by implication be asking for the whole of Lagos resources at the expense of other areas.

We have the Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ) and if only you know the implication of that on our development here, you will want to thank Governor Fashola, though the Asiwaju started it.

We are going to build a deep seaport also in the LFTZ; we are going to have another airport to be located at a stone-throw from Epe. Those two projects are associated with development. # } X LFTZ and I am assured that they will employ 10,000 Nigerians. You know the implication of that; we are expecting nothing less than 40,000 people to be employed and when you consider this, you will know how many people the employees will care for. The fund in circulation in this area will be much and we will be happy

people. Therefore, there is no need for anybody to start worrying that they have not developed Epe; even if they had not developed Epe and they now give us the guber candidate, what else do we want? How can we thank Asiwaju Tinubu enough and the team of elders for this?

We assure Lagosians that when we are there, we % [

doing it in a way that apart from giving us two terms through Ambode, they will be begging us to give them another Ambode in 2023.

But, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you bothered that this Ambode you are clamouring for has no political pedigree and may disappoint you?

It is not the noise makers that do the job.

Ambode has been in the local government system having worked in several local governments across the state before crowning it with his appointment as accountant general and permanent secretary in the state % ^ ! ] ! % Q kind of situation, you can sleep with your two eyes closed because he is surely not going to disappoint you. Come to think of it; the only visible candidate is Jimi Agbaje of the PDP. Tell \ ! Â&#x152; he has never worked as a civil servant; he has ' / Â&#x152; ' worked as person in charge of big community issues. People know me for saying the truth % # # Â&#x201E; % How will you describe the forces against Ambodeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s candidature within the APC? Here we are talking of power and Lagos State is a viable state. A lot of people want to % Q have seen in Ambode qualities that will make him the best of the candidates supported him at a very clean, open and transparent primary.

Then, what else do we say? Of course, the party ' ! ' mechanism and before you know it, everybody is now back in the same fold and we believe strongly that we are in the same party for the same purpose. They have realised that out of the ' % Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you think the misgivings expressed Â&#x20AC;Â |Â&#x201A;Â&#x192;Â&#x201E;Â&#x2020;Â&#x2021;|Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2030;Â&#x160;Â&#x2039;Â&#x152;Â&#x2039;Â&#x2030;Â&#x192;Â&#x2020;Â?|Â&#x17D;Â&#x2030;Â |Â&#x2030;Â?Â&#x2020;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x192;| Â&#x17D;Â&#x20AC;Â&#x201A;Â&#x2039;Â&#x2020;Â&#x2018;Â?| chances in February?

Far from it. I know the aspirants and I can assure you that none of them will work anti-clockwise because they are all disciplined party members and the leadership of the APC # Â&#x152; believe that the best thing to happen to Lagos is Ambode so that quality governance can continue in the state.

What will be your advice to Ambode, should he become the governor?

The issue is very clear. Ambode s not a stranger in Lagos State and God has blessed him with a lot of wisdom. Even at that, we will still guide him at least for age sake because % } not a kindergarten in public administration.

Nonetheless, whoever is tired of learning is tired of life. Ambode is ready to learn and improve the lives of Lagosians.

Sir, are you urging the same media that Â&#x2019;Â&#x201E;Â&#x2030;Â&#x2021;Â&#x152;|Â&#x152;Â&#x160;|Â&#x201E;Â&#x152;Â?|Â&#x201C;Â&#x2021;Â?Â&#x192;|Â?Â&#x192;Â&#x152;Â&#x160;Â&#x192;|Â&#x2030;Â?|Â&#x17D;Â&#x152;Â&#x201D;Â&#x152;Â&#x192;Â&#x2030;Â&#x2021;Â |Â&#x201E;Â&#x2020;Â&#x2030;Â&#x2039;|Â&#x201A;Â&#x2022;| state enacted Decree 4 against and whom he clamped down on, to now work for him?

Life is not static; it is a very dynamic phenomenon. What applies at a time may not apply in the future. When Buhari was a military head of government he required that for his legitimacy in government and do a good job and no doubt, his government still stands out among all military governments. No military government did anything close to what Buhari did.

Lanre Razak

What are those things the present government ought to have done but are lacking here in Epe? With the resources available to Governor Fashola, he had listened to us so much, and has done a lot for us. Whatever he is unable to do, Ambode will complement.

What chance do you think the APC has over other parties? Â&#x2014;' Â&#x201A;}Â&#x201A; permanent voter cards to deny people of their votes, we will still have a landslide victory because the opportunity given to Lagosians in the last eight years has shown Lagosians that the APC is reliable and supportive.

What chance will you say your presidential candidate has over President Goodluck Jonathan?

You have just asked who will win between an antelope and a lionâ&#x20AC;Ś(Cuts in) Who is the antelope?

You know him too well, the PDP candidate.

The people know the kind of person General Muhammadu Buhari is when it comes to discipline and patriotism and those who fear him are the corrupt. Buhari will ensure that nobody lives in poverty because he will spread

the only visible candidate is Jimi Agbaje of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), tell me his experience in public affairs management; he had never worked as a civil servant; he had never worked as a public >@B F M Q V F worked as person in charge of big community issues, people know me for always saying the truth, Ambode is better than Agbaje

Let us talk about responsibility and steadfastness. Buhari in 2011 told Nigerians that he would not contest again, but he changed his mind. What do you have to say on this?

There is no rigidity in human life. As a person, it pains him that he wanted to come and save this country and missed it three times. As a person, he decided against such future ambition. However, the same people that initially rejected him are now the ones asking and begging him to contest again. His ? \ needs in a good leader. Situation dictates what you do and say. It will be disappointing if he remains rigid on his posture of not returning to politics when the people asked him to come again. This is a clarion call.

Buhari, after losing the 2011 election, was quoted to have vowed to make the country ungovernable. Since then we have been recording havocs by Boko Haram. So, what are Nigerians to expect should he lose the 2015 election? % & cannot provide atom of evidence to implicate Buhari on this statement especially the menace of Boko Haram and their activities. His comment could be expressed in several ways: that you gave government to this man who could not competently rule it. You may have a situation of the man not being able to govern well. He never said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Muhammadu Buhari will make this nation ungovernable.â&#x20AC;? You can never trace any activity that implicates him. He

!

of human beings.

What area will you say is left out of the APC manifesto?

The manifesto you saw is not only the product Â&#x152; ' / \

this kind of manifesto would do Nigeria proud.

So, there is no faulty aspect because those who \ people; they did all they could. Let me add that life is not static. As we continue the journey, our leadership may wish to adjust our manifesto, but for now, it is the best for Nigeria.

Could you tell us the factors that may work against President Jonathan next month?

There are several factors standing on his way: the welfare of workers has not been this bad at any given time. At Christmas and since the New Year started some workers and their ' % [ % Q Federal Government had been able to manage ! have followed suit. At the federal level, salaries are not being paid; securities challenges are there staring us in the eyes. Of course, you and Q

of any serious government. No meaningful development would happen amid crisis and security threats. The issue of over 200 Chibok girls still in the den of the insurgents is already working against our President.

Nigerian media performed below expectations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rep Zakari Â&#x152; / Speaker, and he was not fair to Nigerians.

Representatives and the President?

As far as the House of Representatives is ' $ in everything we do. We try to look at things from the point of view of those who sent us there. That is why you see that when they bring anything there, we debate it back and forth. At least, we have been able to secure the independence of that arm of government. We know that so many people are not happy with us especially from the side of the executive, but we have no regret about that.

The other time, you spoke about your concern for Nigerian journalists. Apart from you, we have some other journalists at the National Assembly, either as senators or House of Representatives members. What Â&#x2014;Â&#x152;Â&#x201D;Â&#x201D;|Â Â&#x201A;Â&#x2019;|Â?Â&#x2030;Â |Â&#x2030;Â&#x2021;Â&#x2020;|Â&#x192;Â&#x201E;Â&#x2020;|Â&#x2020;Â?Â&#x201A;Â&#x2021;Â&#x192;Â?|Â&#x201A;Â&#x2022;|Â&#x2030;Â&#x201D;Â&#x201D;|Â&#x201A;Â&#x2022;|Â Â&#x201A;Â&#x2019;|Â&#x152;Â&#x160;| Â?Â&#x2020;Â&#x2020;Â&#x152;Â&#x160;Â&#x2DC;|Â&#x192;Â&#x201A;|Â&#x20AC;Â&#x2020;=Â&#x2020;Â&#x2021;|Â&#x2122;Â&#x2020;Â&#x2021;Â&#x2022;Â&#x201A;Â&#x2021;Â&#x17D;Â&#x2030;Â&#x160;Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2020;|Â&#x201A;Â&#x2022;|Â&#x161;Â&#x201A;Â&#x2019;Â&#x2021;Â&#x160;Â&#x2030;Â&#x201D;Â&#x152;Â?Â&#x192;Â?| and the enhancement of their welfare package?

As I told you, I wanted to bring a bill. The Speaker is not a journalist but he has concern for journalists. The problem is that you cannot % Â&#x201A; and chief executives of media houses are all there. But I know that if I am re-elected, I and my colleagues will give the proposed bill a steam especially on the welfare of journalists.

Thank God you are here today. We have heard several accounts of the recent police invasion of the National Assembly and the treatment meted to the Speaker. Can you give us a true account of the incident?

The drama, from point A to Z, I was a participant or an observer. I know exactly what happened that day. I saw the Speaker the previous night. And I told him something that night. I said Mr. Speaker, these people would try something tomorrow. He said Zakari has started; you are too pessimistic. And I said no problem, good night. In the morning, I just got a text from one of the journalists, saying he saw heavy presence of security personnel at the National Assembly.

And I gave the text to the Speaker. We are 360 members and all of us have identity cards.

Q day. It is unfortunate that the police would just look us in the face and tell us lies in this country. It is sickening when somebody would just sit down and concoct lies. I read criminology and I believe people who are supposed to wear the police uniform are those who are always ready to protect the people, because next to God are those in charge of security. In trouble, they are supposed to be with you. We left the Speakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house in a convoy of about 10 cars. There was a long queue at the entrance to the Assembly and we joined the queue. When the Speakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car got to the main entrance, three policemen stood in front of it. The vehicle has the crest of the Speaker on it. The Speaker got down from his % # ' you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know Zakari, you should be able to know the Speaker as an average policeman.

I went to Channels TV the second day.

And I was happy when they said the PPRO would be there. I wanted to ask him some questions but unfortunately, the man did not come. The way the policemen stood in front of the Speakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car, within me, I knew that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want us to enter. All of us then came down and they locked the gate.

However, they were allowing people in before then because the Senate President and his deputy had entered. Some members too were already inside. So, what kind of joke was that?

We stood there; there was nobody to talk to. The Speaker was talking; nobody was answering him.

The man who managed to answer him was very rude. He was on phone and he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am coming, I am coming,â&#x20AC;? and he ran away. Of course, every action must elicit reaction. We are

Assembly members. Naturally, some things would be running through our minds. One, they are never comfortable with the Speaker;

Zakari

Jonathan maybe they wanted to impeach him. Yes, we may go to court if that happens. The wheel of justice runs very slowly when it comes to this part of the year. Five people had once sat ' ' % Some seven Assembly members have passed a budget in a part of the country.

At that point, the police had started asking for reinforcement. And we had already decided that even if we would be arrested, let them arrest us inside the chambers.

Immediately, we entered, they released tear gas. The pedestrian gate was opened; that was how the Speaker entered and some other members too. Some who could not enter had to scale the fence. So when we entered, another four hooded security men stood in

% Q ' % Q police said it is accidental. Even the last teargas fell on the Speakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot. I think if the Speaker were asthmatic he would have just gone down. What we did was to save ourselves and the institution. God forbid it, if anything had happened to the Speaker that day, it was certain to have a backlash because it would have become an ethnic and religious issue. So, Nigerians would have been made to pay for what they did not bargain for or cause.

It is as if because the man has defected to another party, they have made up their mind that he is no longer the Speaker. And the police were very unprofessional the way they behaved that day. That is exactly what happened. This is the type of country we live in. And there is no law that says the Speaker must be from a majority party. It is only when it comes to the majority leader that he must come from a majority party in the House. So we at the House of Representatives have made up our minds never to be intimidated. I am saying that if that day, we had stood there and anything happened, the only thing we would have done would have been to go to court, and since the wheel of justice will run slowly, more so when we are in an election time may be some of us would have become ex-members by now. So, those scaling the fence are not hooligans. But as you know, sometimes, an action elicits a reaction. At least, when the police were coming, they would have

Even the NIJ, IIJ, how 7 8 9: national assembly, there are some guys who move around who claim to be journalists. You cannot just say you are a doctor or a lawyer

How will you justify claims by some of your colleagues on their empowerment programme when what they provide for the electorate are just commercial motorcycles Â&#x203A; Â&#x153;Â&#x2030;Â&#x2039;Â&#x2030;Â?|Â&#x2030;Â&#x160;Â&#x2039;|Â&#x201A;Â&#x192;Â&#x201E;Â&#x2020;Â&#x2021;|Â&#x2122;Â&#x2020;=Â |Â&#x152;Â&#x192;Â&#x2020;Â&#x17D;Â?Â&#x17E; The primary functions of National Assembly members are lawmaking, oversight functions and empowerment. In our country, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it (empowerment), you are at your peril. We do oversight; we make laws. But through the media, you will help us enlighten our people about this because there are fantastic lawmakers who have lost their seats because they could not provide okada for their people. How many of our people back home are really interested in the number of motions moved or passed by lawmakers? Maybe, it has to do with the growing nature of our democracy.

Here is a situation where your people are not interested in your contribution to the business of lawmaking but rather in the number of cars you are able to give them. But we have to keep on managing them until our democracy grows to the extent that people would appreciate its essence. It is not a dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job. To me, the legislature is always at the receiving end.

Could you spare us some comments on your colleague, Farouk Lawanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case? Has there been any development on the issue?

Besides, could you clarify the exact budget of the National Assembly in view of the belief that the budget takes 28 per cent of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget?

Lawanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case is in court. It is a personal case. N150 billion is what is budgeted for the National Assembly. It includes recurrent and capital expenditure. It is from the budget 306 House of Representatives members, 109 ! % & other responsibilities that the budget is spent on too. From your own calculation, what is the percentage of N150 billion of the about N4.3 trillion national budget? Compare it with the Central Bank of Nigeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget which is close to half a trillion naira.

What is the House doing on the current congestion in some prisons in the country?

Q interior and I know that prison congestion is a serious issue. At the level of legislation, I know the laws are not the issues but their \ % Â&#x201A; have to tackle. The congestion may even be one of the reasons for the recent jailbreaks.

But, at the House of Representatives, we took a decision that a minister be removed. But up till now, nothing has been done about it.

But it is up to Nigeria to say whether they need another hand to rule the country in the next election or not. The law is a worthless piece of paper unless it is obeyed. It is my responsibility; it is your responsibility to talk about it. Maybe it will touch the heart of those who are supposed to take action. For us, at the House of Representative, we can only expose corruption; we cannot implement the laws on it.

The 2015 elections are just around the corner and fears are being expressed in some quarters on the exercise. What is your take on the elections?

Nigeria will not blow up. There was somebody in 1997 who said no other person = \ % $ the capacity to curtail whatever is coming.

Nigeria is a unique country. If the right things are done, I know that whoever wins or loses the election will go back home and they will agree that Nigerians have spoken. No one individual is greater than this country. The 2015 election will come like any other election and go. The only thing is that Nigerians should open their eyes wide, and ask people what they would do and what they have done before. For instance, if you are in a particular place for four years and you have not improved things I should know who to vote for in another election.

Social security benefit: Panacea for youth unrest Many countries in Europe, Asia and Africa pay their unemployed youth monthly stipends to meet their basic needs.

Business & Economy

2015: Uncertainty trails economy, standard of living Many Nigerians have expressed fears as regards what the new year portends even as the Federal Government has introduced austerity measure and called on the citizens to brace up for tough times ahead as a result of the drop in crude oil price, devaluation of the Naira, election among others. ABIODUN AWOGBEMI reports

T

he year 2014 has come and gone but the scars will take so long to heal.

On the faces of average Nigerians are the looks of hunger, frustration and desperation owing to economic somersault ? ' as well as the level of impunity perpetrated by the privileged few.

One of the major indicators for fear is the inability of the Federal Government to share allocations arising from the Excess Crude Account (ECA) to states in the last 18 months. A situation which the Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomole, claimed has distorted the developmental projects in the states.

Also the Niger State Governor Muâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;azu Babangida Aliyu has said alarm that states of the federation may collapse within three

country resulting from crumbled oil prices is urgently resolved.

According an economic analyst, Aderoju Oladele, the inability of the Federal Government to fund the states will impact negatively on the workforce and infrastructural development.

According to feelers from the three tiers of government, workers in the civil service had a bleak Christmas and New Year celebrations because of the inability of the government to pay its work force, and ! selling.

According to Ugodre Obi-Chukwu, while expressing fears on what the economy has in store for Nigerians, stated that the announcement by Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to increase the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) to 13 per cent from 12 = Â&#x201E; ! lending and deposit negatively.

He explained that the MPR is the rate at which the CBN essentially lends money to banks, and is in turn a benchmark for bank lending. This means the CBN can ! ' the country. Usually when this occurs, commercial banks also increase their lending rate to borrowers.

The CBN has also decided to increase the Â&#x201A; ' X ' X = (CRR) to 20 per cent from 15 per cent which is the limit imposed on private sector deposits that the bank will have to keep with the CBN, meaning they only get to lend out 80 per cent of customers deposits with them.

Obi-Chukwu explained that for those looking to travel abroad and looking to buy dollars from banks, the exchange rate is perhaps between N173 and N177 assuming the naira does not crash further. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you use our local debit and credit cards abroad, then you are essentially paying the same amount with the interbank rate while for the black market buyers, that is those who prefer to buy or sell dollars at the black market, this new rule could ! % Visitors to Nigeria who have dollars with % Q their money is worth much more now than

before. She added that salary earners in dollars also earn more when they convert to naira while importers pay more while converting naira to dollar, and the excess is passed on to the consumer who bears the brunt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those who have consumer loans such as car loans, mortgages, credit card debts, personal loans etc. donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be

The banks may decide to increase borrowing rates depending on how they ' % Those who have dollar denominated loans are also heavily exposed to higher pay out, especially if such a person took out a dollar loan even when his income is $ % | ! ' reduced in dollar terms meaning you ' ! loans,â&#x20AC;? she warned.

The new wave of the banking system will also has its impact on the treasury bills, according to a broker, Clement Chuka, adding that treasury bill rates will increase

\ from banks will also likely increase in response to the increase in CRR as well as increase in lending rates because the naira is worth less now in dollar terms.

Chuka explained that many believe the stock market has probably become pricey in the devaluation of the naira. This is because the stock market is like a leading ? come before any other market does so.

However, he was of the view that some stocks do come under scrutiny considering the outcome of the MPC meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Companies that have heavy dollar exposures are examples as they may need to incur higher forex cost by year end, if they had not hedged. He further posited that banking stocks also come under further pressure due to the increase in CRR as their Net Interest Margins may ! % ^ ' is thought that loss may be neutralised by gains in the forex market just as oil and gas stocks are also at risk of reporting lower earnings if the price of oil continues to slide further.

Q = budget will have to increase with the current economy because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unlikely that prices of goods and services will go up. Examples are foreign goods which most people rely on, gift items, baby products among others while luxury items might also be even more expensive with the devaluation of the naira. The Nigerian economy is essentially â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dollarisedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; due to our high taste for imports.

An analyst, Greg Odogwu, is of the opinion that the economy is in bad shape because demand for oil is dwindling globally. He said that it is not driven by witchcraft, but demand and supply, adding that many nations are secretly

Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

Â&#x2022;/ = which showed a loss of N762.79 billion ' % Â&#x2022; oil revenue shortfall was N580.62 billion, ' = ' % The report added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śonly Value Added & \ $*Â&#x2021;Â&#x2020;%Â&#x161; \ = estimate of N211.36 billion by N2.44 billion (or 1.15 per cent).â&#x20AC;?

Also, another area that calls for concern is the revenue targets for MDAs who will have to arm-twist the public in paying through their nose in a bid to meet the expected target which will ultimately undermine their primary role.

Those who have dollar denominated loans are also heavily exposed to higher pay out, especially if such a person took out a dollar loan even when his income is in Naira. Your income has now effectively reduced in dollar terms meaning you have to spend more to pay off your dollar loans

For instance, the Customs, Police and other regulatory agencies will focus more on meeting the expected target rather than regulating the sector expected of them and this portends a grave danger on the economy and the people.

Besides, the government has been most ? the use of public funds. While other oilrich nations have used their revenues to develop their infrastructure, deepen their economies or diversify and save enough for the rainy day, ours is rapidly being ' Â&#x201E; for the citizenry.

A Federal civil servant, Mr. Adenrele Tijaniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fear was not unconnected with non payment of workers salary both in the civil sector and private sector.

Tijani, while speaking with Newswatch Times, said the expectation for 2015 is nothing but gloomy days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As at the end of December 2014, more than 60 percent of Nigerian workers were being owed, and so many could not celebrate the Yuletide, and ! that we have the stocks, but no buyers.â&#x20AC;?

He said many people borrowed money from the bank to import consumables for the celebration, but could not recover the money due to low patronage, and the banks are not smiling with them as they must recover their money not even with the recent economic malady of the government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead of workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; salary being paid, the ministries are busy trying to outdo one another on who donates the highest to the ruling party ostensibly to cover their maladministration and corruption and shut down the opposition who may likely change the tide of corruption.

The workers, Newswatch Times gathered, are poised for a showdown with their employers both in the public and private sectors, thereby killing the economy the more.

The coming elections next month is also causing fears and anxiety considering the vituperations being poured by the two major political parties and their supporters.

No economy develops or grow when there is crisis, and the people cannot plan just as the government will be in disarray and those who cause the crisis my not eventually survive it.

Special Report Organisation trains journalists on personal development Ayodele Olalere

T

he need for media practitioners to constantly engage in personal development was recently highlighted at high performance training for selected media practitioners in Lagos.

Organised by Power Up for Success organisation at Festac Estate, Lagos, the one day training aimed at sensitizing journalists on the importance of constant

! ' the course of their profession.

In his lecture, Tunde Makun, the anchor of the training explained to the 20 journalists drawn from various media houses , both electronics and print, that for a professional to be successful in his profession, such person must constantly develop himself through trainings and other developmental programmes.

He added media practitioners must begin to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;think of doing things ! ' profession. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are not happy, you cannot be creative. Life is a consequence of past choices and the future requires new thinking and new choices. If you keep doing what you are doing the way you are doing it, you will always get what you have always got,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Makun added that the Nigeria media should endeavour to meet up with their counterparts in the developed country, adding that such can only be achieved if journalists stop â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; doing things the way they were in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stop accepting things the way they are. You must ask questions like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what Q ' % [ are afraid of problems, you are going to be poor. 80% of your success is tied to your relationship with others at your place of work,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He added that the world has advanced beyond the level journalism is practised in Nigeria, saying that in spite of challenges facing the media industry; journalists must be focused and purposeful so as to achieve a successful

lifestyle.

He said journalists must develop values that would make them to be useful in their profession as well as enhance their self discovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The concept of life transformation is the ultimate result of being able to do more in less time on purpose and with focus on living according to desired lifestyle. As media practitioners, you must set your intention. Ask yourself â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what do I want in this profession? Am Q Q Â&#x192; ^ can I discover myself? You have to belief that what you are doing is the right thing for you. By this, it will spur you into top action to improve yourself. Of course there would be challenges and obstacles but you need to be focused.

You need to develop values that would help shape your career. Values such as integrity, discipline, equality, fairness, loyalty and trust would help you to get to the height of your career,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He emphasised the importance of being a team player, saying that every journalist must develop good

relationship with colleagues, adding that a successful journalist is the one with vision and focus on the Big Picture. He also emphasised the need to develop faith and characters such as courage, diligence, giving, gratitude and excellence.

Makun further said every successful entrepreneur developed seven habits

! ' produced results. According to him, one of such habit is being proactive and accepting responsibilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;True leaders take responsibility for their behaviours as well as their choices

/ % & is not simply about being aggressive or assertive. Rather, they never blamed others when things go wrong but instead looked at their own actions and think on how to improve before looking at the actions of others.â&#x20AC;?

He enjoined journalists to create Â&#x2019; '

understand the concept of what you are working on. Ask your colleagues if you do not fully understand the scope of your work. Develop synergy with your workmates and make sure you are understood.â&#x20AC;?

Participants were also advised to increase their knowledge of the profession through reading and personal development. They were equally advised that must contribute to a peaceful working condition at their various places of work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think win-win situation instead of believing that in order for you to win, % [

The leader of the group, Isima Ekere, who is the immediate past deputy governor of the state under the incumbent Governor, Godwill Akpabio, said

because of the alleged injustice meted to them by the party leadership in the state under Governor Akpabio during the primaries without the national leadership of the party taking the necessary action, they had decided to come to the Senate leadership for possible last minute solution.

He alleged that in that election, the party guidelines were completely ignored as delegates who were railroaded to participate in

group under the aegis of the Nigerian Rebirth Initiative (NRI) yesterday condemned the reported endorsement of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) by a faction of Niger Delta militia, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND).

In a press statement signed by its director of communications, Dr. Segun Akinola, it wondered â&#x20AC;&#x153;why a man like General Buhari, who was a former head of state and a retired general of the Nigerian Army, would be at ease with such questionable endorsement by an illegitimate group of insurgents which took up arms against the government and people of Nigeria, the same country which Buhari aspires to govern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The purported endorsement sends a horrible message to / men of the Nigerian armed

night to liberate the territory and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria from the satanic

Boko Haram members, that have laid siege to some villages in the North East zone of the country.â&#x20AC;?

It continued: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also, indeed, very shocked that the APC has not publicly rejected the purported endorsement of its candidate and, by implication, its platform by such a rebel group.â&#x20AC;?

The NRI stated that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the ZÂ&#x2014;$} Â&#x201C; Buhariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential ambition has put to rest any doubt about his long suspected alliance with terror-based organisations like the Boko Haram. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This clearly explains the APC and General Buhariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic ! ' activities of the extremist groups in Nigeria.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It would be recalled that MEND, in a statement circulated on Tuesday by its spokesperson,

Jomo Gbomo, had anchored its decision to endorse Buhari on the need to deliver Nigeria.

Meanwhile, MEND has reacted to the statement made by President Goodluck ? ] ! presidential rally in Lagos that Henry Okah, one of the leaders of MEND jailed in South Africa paid some persons to assassinate him, describing it â&#x20AC;&#x153;as the most outrageous and ridiculous.â&#x20AC;?

The spokesman of the group, Jomo Gbomo, said in statement released online yesterday: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) would like to state clearly that our endorsement of the All Progressives Congress (APC)â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, has absolutely nothing to do with Mr. Henry Okah. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We challenge President Goodluck Jonathan to come out and reveal to the nation, the names of the persons he claimed paid Mr. Henry Okah to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;assassinateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; him. President Jonathan should also explain why these persons, as he obviously knows who they are, were not arrested, tried and convicted.. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nigerians may recall that prior to the bomb blast of October 1, 2010, the MEND had issued a warning of an

Â&#x2014; Square, Abuja, where we also advised the public to stay clear of any parked vehicles to avert any casualties. These warnings were ignored by the Nigerian security agencies, hence the

casualties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If as President Jonathan claimed, he was a target of an

did we issue a prior warning?

Where in this world would an assassin warn his target in ' life? This false allegation by the Â&#x201A; earlier assertion of how he takes Nigerians. He seems to have

Edo secures N5.7bn World Bank facility to fight ThankGod Ofoelue, Benin

G

overnor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State said the state government has secured a N5.7 billion facility from the World Bank to tackle the erosion problem in Auchi, Etsako West Local Government Area of the state.

The governor said the facility was secured by the government after the state was abandoned to its fate by the Federal Government which refused to release funds to the state from the Ecological Fund to address erosion problems in many parts of the state.

Speaking at the commissioning of the AuchiJattu-Afashio-Ikabigbo-Ojio road on Thursday, Oshiomhole said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;erosion has been

a problem that has been threatening the existence of Auchi as a community. Not only has it destroyed the farmlands, it has also destroyed a number of roads and even killed a number of our people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Series of petitions have " Government for intervention. I know on an occasion the Royal Highness, the Otaru of Auchi, decided to lead the Auchi community on a protest march and he demonstrated around this area hoping that somebody would listen. @& address the erosion problem but whereas the people of Auchi wanted a solution, somebody wanted to monetize the problem. * ! $

In the First and Second Republics referred to above, it was clear that the AG or the UPN espoused socialism where the government was going to use state resources to provide cross-cutting social services while the NCNC or NPN would allow a greater participation of private initiative and resources in providing social services, thus espousing a pro-capitalist ideology.

But since the third Republic until now, Nigerian political parties have been operating without distinguishable ideologies.

The practice of politics in Nigeria a member of the new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;greatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; party (every party in Nigeria is a great party), without a care of how those that elected him on the platform of the other party feel about this sudden change of party. Sometimes his supporters are railroaded into the new party willy-nilly. For some, to decamp from one party to another does not as much involve the rigour of divorce rites in some traditions where you are required to announce to your spouse, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I divorce youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, three times before you can walk away. In addition to many things that are wrong with this â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;political prostitutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, what upsets me most is that the electorate is taken for granted and his constitutionally guaranteed freedom of choice is supplanted by these acts of political whoredom. If I voted for a candidate on the platform of Party A and he wins, and without shame decamps to Party B, and remains as Governor or Senator, he has abridged my rights of choice. Maybe someday soon, we shall see a decampee President! I have often argued that the right thing to do is for such a politician to resign his position, decamp to his new found â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;loverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; party and stand a fresh election on that platform.

Thirdly and perhaps the major motivation for this intervention is that Nigerian politics is played without any morality or ethics. Politicians make promises at election !

without batting an eyelid. They conspire to rig elections in their areas of comparative strength and then turn around to accuse the other party for rigging elections in their areas of comparative weakness. They agree with you on an issue this hour and the next hour they take the opposite action. They lose elections at the polling booths but try to compromise the judges to overturn the verdict in the courtrooms. I have always wondered why? But I stopped wondering this week after reading the statements credited to Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State. He was quoted as telling some party men â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;that those who cannot lie should leave politics aloneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. He admonished those who are honest to go become Pastors and Imams, as there is no place for honest men and women in politics! Wow! Can this

be true? This was the most shocking and damning thing I have heard all my life. I have waited for other politicians to refute these assertions which were on the front pages of national newspapers and I have not read or heard any contrary characterization of Nigerian politics and its practitioners.

Those I discussed with agreed with Governor Aliyu. They said it was the bitter truth! Another friend told me another story of how the late strongman of Ibadan politics asked another political aspirant who came to him for endorsement if he could bear false witness against the innocent, or if he could kill in cold blood. But when the guy answered in the negative, he allegedly dismissed him on the ground that he was not yet ready to be a politician. Haba!

These stories made me really sad. I asked myself what kind of profession or vocation insists that only liars and dishonest persons ; +

* Is it then surprising that we have a corrupt country? If liars and dishonest persons govern us, what should we then expect? I really hope that the younger Nigerians especially those aspiring to enter into politics did not read that story because it is very disturbing and distressing. My real hope is that either Governor Aliyu was misquoted or that he really did not mean what he said. Or even if he meant it, it does not apply to all politicians and that there is space for honest men and women to succeed in Nigerian politics.

Whatever may be the true situation, it may be wise to take the story on its face value and be careful with Nigerian politicians. Many are jumping from one state capital to another, from one Local Government Areas to another, making promises.

We had better not allow ourselves to be sucked in by the hyperboles they are selling. My advice is that we must check the record of those making promises. No one can rightly project what a man can do in the future, but we can be guided by what he did in the past. Anyone who promises to build a skyscraper for you when he comes to power let him show you the high rise he has built in the past. Anyone who promises to make our economy the best in the world in 12 months must show us what he did in the economy in the past when he had the opportunity. Anyone who promises to create millions of jobs if we vote for him, let him show us how many people he had employed in the past. When politicians promise us food for all, they should show us the size of their farms or how they have promoted agriculture in the past or what !

* With this revelation from Governor Aliyu, every sensible Nigerian should insist on scrutinizing the past records of our leaders or aspiring leaders. Chances are that human beings seldom change when they are above 21 years, except those who have had an encounter with God. So the only way to minimize taking too much risk is to look at what a man has done in the past and bet that he may improve on those records.

But there can never be a guarantee even when you are dealing with honest men, because of the uncertainties of the future and the changes in the socioeconomic environment. What more when we are dealing with Nigerian politicians. Look, guys, we must reform the practice of politics in Nigeria. Only truth-speaking, God-fearing and honest men and women that can do this.

So Lord, please give us honest men and women who will lead Nigeria at all levels of political governance as we go to the pools in a few weeks!
