Short News Court of Appeal dismisses Anyanwu’s suit against Ihedioha Police uncover body parts in Lagos, Val Okara, Owerri

The Court of Appeal sitting in Owerri, the Imo state capital on Sunday upheld the judgement of the Federal High Court which dismissed a suit filed by Senator Sam Anyanwu, challenging the emergence of Governor Emeka Ihedioha as the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Anyanwu had approached the court seeking to nullify the victory of Ihedioha and rather be declared as the authentic winner of the primary election, accusing

Ihedioha of engaging in over voting, thuggery and vote buying which he alleged swayed the polls in favour of Ihedioha. Justice Raphael Chikwe Agbo, in his judgement reaffirmed that the plaintiff could not convince the court on the prayers he sought, adding that from the allegations made by Anyanwu, the court could not establish the facts in his claims and therefore, dismissed the suit for lack of proof. It would be recalled that the Governor Ihedioha on the party’s primary election conducted in Owerri on October 1, polled

1, 723 to defeat Sam Anyanwu, who scored 1, 282 votes. Sen. Anyanwu rejected the result of the primary election while five other aspirants, Senator Athan Achonu, Prof. Jude Njoku, Chief Chukwuma, Ekomaru and Chief George Ejike congratulated Ihedioha on his victory and went ahead to work for his victory at the governorship poll. Meanwhile, Governor Ihedioha has extended the olive branch to Sen Anyanwu to join hands with him to move the state forward and further restated his resolve to run an inclusive government.

launch manhunt for suspects Chioma Joseph, Lagos

Operatives of the Lagos state Police Command have launched a manhunt for the murderers of a yet-to-be identified man, who was reported slaughtered and his body parts packed in a sack and dumped along Martins Street, at Igbo Elerin. It was gathered that residents of the area had woken up on Saturday, June 15, to the gory sight of a sack with the remains, dumped in the corner of the street. The residents who perceived there may be more to the blood soaked sack had alerted the Okokomaiko Police Division. When policemen from the division visited the scene and opened the sack, the severed body parts of the man, who is said to be around 40 years was discovered. According to the Lagos state police Spokesperson, , Elkana Bala, the body parts recovered include the head, left hand and back side lap which were slashed off and taken away. Bala said that “the command is on the trail of the suspected murderers, who had allegedly killed the man. The homicide detectives visited the scene where the sack with blood stains contained the remains of a male victim of about 40-year-old. The corpse was removed and deposited at the mortuary for autopsy.”

Delay in signing automotive industry bill affecting industry - NADDC Says 9 firms assembling vehicles in Nigeria

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja Director General of the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), Jelani Aliyu, has said that the continuous delay by President Muhammadu Buhari to assent to the Automotive Industry Development Bill, which was passed by the 8th National Assembly is affecting the pace of business in the sector. Aliyu therefore, called on President Buhari to as a matter of national importance, sign the bill into law to enable the agency regulate the sector in accordance with global best practices. The director general made the appeal on Sunday in an interview with newsmen in Abuja. The development came two years after the council’s confirmation of its approval of 45 companies that signified interests in building vehicle assembly plants in Nigeria, following the federal government’s introduction of an auto-policy meant to discourage importation of fully built vehicles. A total of nine auto manufacturing companies are currently assembling vehicles in Nigeria.

Aliyu further explained that Nigeria has started seeing the results of the auto -policy with nine local automotive firms assembling vehicles. He listed the nine firms assembling vehicles in the country as Peugeot Automobile Nigeria, Nissan Motors, Honda Motors, Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company, Hyundai Motor Company, Ford Motor Company, GIC Motor Companies Ltd, JAC Motors and Kia Motors. He also said Volkswagen would soon be setting up an automobile hub in Nigeria, adding that a memorandum of understanding to that effect has already been signed between the federal government and the company. “Under the agreement, Volkswagen would implement a phased approach in relation to the assembly of vehicles, initially from assembly kits with the long-term view of establishing Nigeria as an automotive hub in the West Coast of Africa,” he said. Speaking on the vehicle finance scheme, he said that the initiative would be implemented before the end of the third quarter of 2019. “Already the agency has reached an understanding with three banks for singledigit-interest loans of between six and nine per cent that will be given to eligible

Nigerians after they must have deposited 10 per cent of the cost of the vehicle. “We are working with three banks: Wema Bank, Stanbic IBTC and Jaiz Bank to offer vehicle financing at a single-digit interest rate. We’ve reached advanced stage and we hope that before the end of this second quarter, that programme will be in operation,” Aliyu added. The automotive policy, inaugurated in 2014, contains a number of measures needed to revitalise the industry for job creation, local value addition and technology acquisition. It has six components, which are standards, industrial infrastructure, local content development, skills development, investment promotion and market development. Aliyu added, “Any new company that sets up to produce vehicles in the country will be given a 10- year pioneer tax status to help them recuperate the huge investment. The automotive sector requires hundreds of millions of dollars to set up a plant. “They are given a 10-year tax holiday to stop the importation of used vehicles into the country” and expressed optimism that once the bill was assented to, more automobile companies would set up plants in Nigeria.

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Coordinator in the FCT, Hajia Walida Isa, has said that everything has been put in place to ensure the smooth running of the three weeks orientation course which is billed to commence today in the nation’s capital. The coordinator, who is barely a week old in the FCT, disclosed this to Daily Times at the weekend. She said that the FCT camp is ready to host no fewer than 2, 800 corps members even as she commended the NSYC staff and the collaborative agencies for their cooperation all in a bid to ensure that the programme is successful. “The camp is ready to host 2, 800 corps members and we have put in place all the necessary things that will make the orientation exercise a success. Our staff, collaborative agencies (security agencies) are on ground to ensure the smooth running of the camp. “By Monday (today), the security agencies (anti-bomb) will comb the entire camp to ensure it’s safe for our corps members. We are good to go,” she said Highlighting on some problems that the corps members may encounter, she said that the security and welfare of both corps members and staff of the scheme will remain her topmost priority. Speaking further, the coordinator also promised to consolidate on the gains of her predecessor while looking forward to breaking new grounds in the interest of the scheme. She promised to engage all the ministries, agencies and parastatals to ensure that corps members posted to the FCT don’t experience cases of rejection when deployed to their place of primary assignment. Until her transfer to the FCT as coordinator, Hajia Walida Isa, hds served as coordinator in Plateau, Zamfara and Kaduna states.

NGO to make recommendations to tackle respiratory diseases Moses Oyediran, Enugu A non-governmental organisation, Amaka Chiwuike Uba Foundation (ACUF), says it will make holistic policy recommendations to tackle respiratory disease n the country. It would be recalled that ACUF was founded in 2016, in memory of Mrs Amaka Uba, who died of asthma complications in 2016 with the vision of a society with better breathing, better living and prosperous people. Board Chairman of the foundation, Dr. Chiwuike Uba, in a statement in Enugu at the weekend said that the policy recommendations would throw more light on the role of the environment and governance on management of respiratory diseases. Uba said; ``We are faced with challenges ranging from being rated as one the most polluted countries in the world to a country grappling with a lot of roblems associated with other governance issues. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), air pollution is responsible for more than 12 million deaths per year in the world. ``The achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets— DG 3 (good health and well-being); SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation); SDG 7 affordable clean energy); SDG 13 (climate action); SDG 14 (life below water) and SDG 16 (peace, security and strong institutions) is dependent on the environment and governance outcomes.’’

June 12: Buhari’s courage at recognising MKO, others laudable - Rep Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado Ekiti House of Representatives member representing Ekiti South Federal Constituency II, Rep. Femi Bamisile, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari deserves accolades and respect for being courageous enough to proclaim June 12 as a Nigeria’s Democracy Day. Bamisile said President Buhari’s courage to have recognised the late Chief Moshood Abiola, the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, his running mate, Babagana Kingibe and other people who fought for the nation’s democracy was commendable. The lawmaker said in a statement in Ado Ekiti that “there is no doubt that President Buhari has been demonstrating his love for all Nigerians, irrespective of tribe and religious background. The true patriotism being displayed by the President at handling the affairs of the country since 2015 is exceptional and laudable. “Also, the latest move by the president to re- name the National Stadium, Abuja after the late Abiola is another landmark and a right step in the right direction. The development has further deepened our democratic memory, especially on the fact that those who fought for Nigeria’s democracy did not die in vain.” Rep. Bamisile commended Nigerians on their trust and belief in the APC administration, assuring that the federal government would continue to put in its best at alleviating the sufferings of the citizenry.

Obi/Oju Federal Constituency: Why INEC should abide by judgment

Austine Asadu

At this critical time in our nation’s democratic dispensation, it is pivotal that the agencies and statutory organs charged with the conduct of elections as well as the adjudication of the electoral process are not only above board but must be seen as such in the conduct of their official operations and activities. More importantly, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) must adhere strictly to the provisions of the 1999 Constitution, the Electoral Act as amended as well as various judgments and rulings of the courts of law no matter how unpalatable or inconvenient they may be to any of the parties concerned. A crucial case in point is the recent decision of a Federal High Court in Abuja presided over by learned Justice I. O. Ekwo which delivered a clear and unambiguous judgment dismissing the suit filed by Mr. David Agada of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) seeking an order of mandatory injunction directing INEC to issue him with a certificate of return as the winner of the Obi/Oju federal constituency (National Assembly elections held on the 23rd of February, 2019. The Federal High Court ruled that Mr. Agada’s suit filed against INEC was an abuse of court process being that similar suits between him and two other contestants, Hon. Samson Okwu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Hon. Nick Eworo of the All Progressive Congress (APC)

have already been instituted at the Benue State National Assembly and State House of Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting at Makurdi. Justice Ekwo also ruled that the court had no jurisdiction to entertain the suit as it was a post-election matter which appropriately should be handled by the Election Tribunal. This landmark judgment has been hailed by public affairs analysts, social affairs commentators, human and political rights activists as well as civil society groups and the general public who have called on the chairman of the INEC, Prof. Mahmud Yakubu as well as his management team to take note of the judgment in order that the Commission would not be teleguided, rail roaded or pressurized by any person, group or authority to take precipitate action that would be in contempt of court, due process, equity and the rule of law. Indeed the National Assembly elections for Oju/Obi Federal Constituency of Benue State has been mired in controversy immediately after the conclusion of the elections when the Returning Officer, Prof. Iheukwumere of the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi attempted to declare the partial results of Oju Local Government without including Obi Local Government election results. ‘According to the INEC collated results for both Oju and Obi L.G.As, Hon. Samson Okwu polled a total of 14,300 votes

to defeat his closest rival, Mr. Agada Ogewu David of APGA who polled 13,558 votes while the APC candidate Mr. Eworo Nick scored 10,395 votes. In the prevailing circumstances, Hon. Samson Okwu is the clear and unambiguous winner, under the simple majority formula for elections with multiple candidates. The Returning Officer’s attempt to unilaterally declare Mr. David Agada winner relying only on the Oju L.G.A results without including the Obi L.G.A results were adjudged a violation of the Electoral Act leading to the institution of suits challenging his decision at the Election Tribunal. If the Returning Officer had awaited the submission of the Obi L.G.A results, Hon. Samson Okwu should have been declared the clear and unambiguous winner without any resort to litigation, endless legal wrangling, and wastage of litigant’s precious time and resources. Without awaiting the ruling of the Election Tribunal, Mr. David Agada sought redress and the issuance of a Certificate of Return to him at the Federal High Court, Abuja; however the lucid statement of Justice Ekwo may indeed serve as food for thought for the Plaintiff (Mr. Agada), the INEC top hierarchy and ardent students of our nation’s jurisprudence: ‘Once an election has been conducted, jurisdiction in any matter arising therefore moves to the election

tribunal to which the 1999 Constitution denotes exclusive jurisdiction. I therefore agree with the defendants (INEC) that the proper venue for the ventilation of the grievances of the plaintiffs per their claims and reliefs is the Election Tribunal and not this court and on this ground I decline jurisdiction’ The erudite judge further dismissed the suit as an abuse of court process being that Mr. David Agada admitted that there were two suits pending against him in the Election Petition Tribunal; therefore for him to institute a similar suit in another court is a clear abuse of court process. While the entirety of the civil populace are in succinct agreement with the germane ruling of Justice Ekwo of the Federal High Court, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission is called upon to heed this landmark judgment and to note that by this ruling only the National Assembly Election Tribunal sitting in Makurdi or a court superior jurisdiction can make an order either in concurrence or at variance with the Federal High Court decision. Indeed, the judiciary remains the last bastion of the common man and Nigerians have cogent reasons to entertain absolute confidence in the conduct of the judicial process as well as in the decisions of our lords temporal. To God be the Glory.

Buhari’s cabinet: To be or not to be?

Fredrick Nwabufo

“It will take the next two months before ministers can come on board. Bringing them in now may disrupt the clean-up going on. So, Nigerians just have to be patient.” This was Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, speaking to Reuters on July 1, 2015 on the hold-up in appointing ministers. He said the president was taking his time to assemble a team of “credible and competent” Nigerians. But after six months of suspense and wearisome wait, some persons of blemished character and of inchoate competence still got hoisted into the cabinet. What a pathos-inducing denouement that was? As a matter of fact, reinforcing failure is solving a problem with the same washed-out tools, methods and liveware. A president is as good as his cabinet; this is the reason competence must supersede every other value item in the check-list. It has been 14 days since the inauguration of the second Buhari administration, and it is shaping up to be the sophomore of a prosaic interlude charged with a numbing suspense. Really, I think this uneasy wait could be the result of intense lobbying in “high places” or a consequence of ambivalence in making that important decision of appointing persons to the cabinet by President Buhari. And there is

the speculation that most of the “arid hands” may return because they are angling and sparing no quarter in scheming to have another round at retailed power. In an essay entitled, ‘Mr.. President, may we discuss your cabinet?’ Simon Kolawole delivered an incisive piece of protest when he said: “Mr President, I will now be straightforward: if you retain certain ministers, I will finally give up on your government. I have seen enough reasons to lose faith but there is this never-say-die spirit that keeps me hoping even when it does not make sense. That is in my DNA. I have, however, been gravely worried that most of the ministers have been saying quietly that they are returning. In fact, I am told more than half of your cabinet will be re-appointed. I hope this is a joke, Mr. President. Tell me it’s a joke, Mr President. Assure me, Mr President, that this is a joke. This is a cabinet you should have dissolved years ago! How on earth would they be retained? Say it ain’t so, Mr President.” With due attribution, I so declare: “I will finally give up on Buhari, if certain former political ‘appointees’ return.” The truth is, loyalty is not a strong point for outsourcing critical ministries or offices to loudly incompetent persons. This was the intended experiment with Adebayo Shittu, minister of communications. He

is, perhaps, the most tragic misfit to have headed that ministry. And it is not that the president lacks a pool of human resources to make his pick from within or outside his party. But the Nigerian brand of politics of cronyism, loyalty and patronage blights credible choices. To say the least, I am not oblivious of the achievements of some officials in the administration. I know that there have been genuine reforms at some agencies. At PTAD, I know, Sharon Ikeazor, executive secretary of the agency introduced the Anti-corruption Transparency Unit to purge the agency of institutional corruption; I know she created a database for pensioners, jettisoning the antiquated and cumbersome filing process; yanked off more than 24,000 ghost pensioners from the system, saving about N495 million monthly for the government. But would it not be fantastic if we had a female Secretary to the Government of the Federation? What is to be said for gender inclusion? At NEITI, I know there have been reforms. I know there is a push to establish public registers of beneficial owners (real owners) of oil, gas and mining companies which operate in the country by 2020. Already, there is a published roadmap on beneficial ownership disclosure which provides clear definition of who beneficial owners are. The essence of this

is to bring transparency and accountability into the extractive industry. What better way to fight corruption in the opaque sector? Also, the man leading this charge at NEITI, Mr Waziri Adio, is a public officer who is known to have shrunk the appurtenances of office off his own bat. At the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the integrity of data has remained untainted. I remember a few months to the 2019 election; the NBS published some unemployment figures which were unfavourable to the government. Really, it takes special courage to hold up the end of noncompromise in this circumstance. Dr Yemi Kale, statistician-general, braved death threats to do his job. And there are many other Nigerians who have distinguished themselves in public service like Dr Joe Abah who initiated a series of pristine reforms while he was the director-general of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms. The talent pool in Nigeria is inexhaustible. But the committee of “political scouts” are comfortable with the optional familiar. President Buhari should imagine himself as the CEO of a blue-chip company. He must understand that competence is ultimate; it comes first, and that appointing career politicians to sensitive offices as he experimented in the time of “change” will not take us to the “Next Level” now.

TO THE

MKO ABIOLA: THE GREATEST NIGERIAN TO DATE? In every sense of being a Nigerian: detribalised, ‘dereligionised’, generous across every facet of Nigeria’s endeavours and to all Nigerians in their tribal, religious and cultural enclaves, Chief MKO Abiola had the highest number of chieftaincies from almost all ethnic groups in Nigeria! A latter day ‘political titan’ and ‘progressive’ that even the Military feared and the Western World trembled for (because of his stubborn campaign for Reparation for Africa for the twin injustices of slavery and colonialism - a strong supporter of all blacks in the Diaspora. Abiola was a highly successful business mogul, pillar of sports in Africa. And was not ‘a money-miss-road illiterate, but a First Class Graduate of Accounts from the University of Glasgow! A ‘stammerer-orator’, and ‘stammerer-musician’(!) MKO was a person whom the taciturn and highly principled Dr. Tai Solarin described as ‘an unknown genius’ because he witnessed MKO dictate a 33-page lecture paper inside the Aero plane for an international conference they both attended, and which same paper took him (Tai Solarin) one month to prepare (!). Very humble man to the old and young, men and women, rich and poor, royalty and pauper, who sought and got the votes of majority of Nigerians freely without monetisation or vote buying. He was never the richest, but was the most generous Nigerian philanthropist to date! Let’s have the name of any other person in Nigerian history who equalled all the above (and much more) than M.K.O. Abiola! May your soul continue to rest in Paradise with Allah. Amen. Mr. Adeyemi is a Lagos-based journalist and proprietor of Sublime Model Schools.

OUR POSITION Judiciary, restraining orders and matters arising

een observers of the trend of litigations are worried that the issuances of courts injunctions restraining opponents and the National Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) that took front burner in the country following the October/ November 2018 party primaries have not abetted. The trend has even be reinforced by the erroneous perceived nature of the inconclusiveness of some of the elections at the Federal constituencies and State House of Assembly such that even when the elections are over, litigants still crowd the court seeking for one injunction or the others. The Courts also have not helped to curtail the influx, probably for the simple reason that the courts are bound to hear all manner of applications and suits. Perhaps, our politicians and their sponsors need to be told for the umpteenth time that once an election is held, the appropriate channel for them to lay complain about the conduct of the election shifts from the normal regular courts to the established election tribunals. The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) made provisions for the establishment of Presidential Election Petition Tribunal which is presently hearing petitions that arose from 2019 presidential election. It also made provisions for the establishment of Governorship, National Assembly and States Houses of Assembly election Petition Tribunals.

These tribunals are currently sitting at various locations across the country having been constituted even before the elections were held to exclusively hear complaints that will arise from the elections. We are therefore disturbed that some litigants who have genuine complaints to make about the conduct of election in their constituencies or the withholding of their perceived certificates of return by the umpire still approach the Federal High Court or State High Court when their grievances are not a pre -election matter. Recently, Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court Abuja had cause to dismiss one of such cases. Ogewu David Agada, the Oju/ Obi Federal Constituency’s elect had brought the suit after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) withheld the issuance of certificate of return. Agada had sought a mandatory order to compel INEC to issue him with a certificate of return. The judge held that the suit was an abuse of the processes of the Court, the subject matter of the suit being a postelection issue. The Court also found that there are multiplicity of actions on the same subject. Similar cases of this nature are still pending before the courts. Unfortunately they take the precious time of the court while the litigants’ counsels try frantically to secure Injunctions that are not enforceable. We urge judges to be cautious about Injunctions that may not be enforceable.

Nigeria has no business with poverty - Elumelu Short News Ahmad Sorondinki, Kano

Chief Tony Elumelu, the founder of Tony Elumelu Foundation has said that Nigeria should have no business with poverty, if only concerned authorities deploy the needed policy strategy to explore deposited talents that abound in the country. Elumelu, made the statement at the Bayero University, Kano (BUK) while receiving the Doctor of Business Administration Honorius causa by the university. He said if the federal government abolishes multiple taxes for small, medium and micro businesses and ease process of doing business registration, the economy would further grow more than what we have now. The philanthropist, expressed worry over challenges of job opportunity deficit of enabling business environment, revealed his foundation’s commitment to collaborate with stakeholders to build millions of entrepreneurs in Africa. He however, urged the federal government to create an enabling environment for the rapid growth of the economy by creating job opportunities for the teeming unemployed youth in the country. He added that his foundation empowers 1, 000 young entrepreneurs in northern Nigeria, just as he urged the federal government to create an enabling environment for the

economy to grow rapidly. According to him, the new empowerment opportunity strictly reserved for young business-minded northerners will run for 12 weeks after which successful beneficiaries will receive $5, 000 each to build their business empire. “The Tony Elumelu Foundation has in the last five years supported 7, 250 young entrepreneurs in Nigeria and Northern Nigeria has deposit of 1, 000 of this number. This new 1, 000 entrepreneurs that will be selected in August is exclusive for youth of northern extraction. “The initiative is to produce direct job opportunity and business empires among young talented youths in the North. While the private sector is supporting the youth, the federal government should provide enabling environment. Our education must work and the health sector should be improved upon. National prosperity cannot be achieved without widespread empowerment. “Tony Elumelu Foundation is committed to helping young Nigerians—male, female; young Africans—male, female to get economically empowered, to give them economic hope, to help them feed themselves, their families and help their communities. There is a lot of unemployment around us. “Today, you graduated 10, 000 people, the point is, are they going to get jobs? Are they going to be able to use their brain or use or

find ideas for developing themselves and their communities? “The point is we know the level of unemployment today in Nigeria. The President has recently said that he wants to lead 100 million Nigerians out poverty. “This is very commendable and I want every one of us to applaud him for that act, we have to commend him and support him. All of us, the federal #government, the state government, the local government, the private sector, wealthy Nigerians and friends of Nigerians must work together to make this happen. “The federal government must create the enabling environment that will enable this succeed. We cannot lift 100 million people out of poverty if we don’t have access to electricity, we cannot lift people out of poverty if the transportation system is not good; we can only achieve this when we have access to electricity and other social amenities. “Another thing that is important is making sure that we grow our economy in a manner that is inclusive. Our young ones need to be involved in what is happening in the country. Our women need to be also economically empowered and involved,” Elumelu added. Also speaking at the convocation ceremony, the Pro-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari urged the private sector to compliment government’s investment in education.

Atiku describes social media reports as mischievous Tunde Opalana, Abuja Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 election has denied knowledge of a statement in circulation about the official server of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). He described the said statement as the handiwork of mischief- makers to mar his pro-democratic record and to lay the groundwork for false charges against him. According to his media adviser, Paul Ibe, Atiku in the statement is planning to lead a street protest in the event that the election petition tribunal rules against him and his party on the issue of a server by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). He said emphatically, that such a statement did not emanate from Atiku Abubakar or his privies. “It is the work of mischief- makers who want to mar his spotless prodemocratic record and lay the ground work for their threatened actions against him on false charges of being a threat to national security.

Day of the African child: 2,000 youths petition govs over quality education Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja As Nigeria joins the rest of the world to celebrate the Day of the African Child, 2, 000 youth across 10 states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have presented petitions to their governors, parliamentarians and policy makers tasking them to be committed to quality education for children, especially girls. The action, supported by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is coming as the world celebrates the Day of the African Child, commemorating the day in 1976 when hundreds of students were shot by policemen in Soweto, South Africa during the apartheid era while demonstrating for their right to quality education. Commending the Nigerian youth for taking up the challenge, UNICEF representative in Nigeria, Peter Hawkins, said that the action by the youth as displayed across several states on Sunday, is a wake-up call for leaders to

act on their commitments to provide quality education for all children in all situations. “The Nigerian campaign for access to quality education will hold the newly-elected government officials at all levels accountable for their campaign promises. “This is to provide equitable access to free, safe and quality education for every child, especially the girl-child in Nigeria,” he stated. Hawkins, who lamented that some states in the country have an average enrolment rate of 57 per cent, added that schools should be a safe place for children. He said that “the engagement seeks to secure commitments from national and state governments to prioritize children’s rights to education in their governance agenda, including through budgeting in their states and at the national level. “This engagement creates an opportunity for Nigerian youth to advocate to policy and decision makers and urge them to commit resources to education, without which the substantial number of out-of-school children

in Nigeria will not be reduced.” The UNICEF official added that the targeted investment is to ensure an uninterrupted 12 years of schooling for girls. “In addition, it hopes to extract a commitment for a 10 per cent increase in budgetary allocation and release of funds for education, with 50 per cent of the total budget to basic education, recruitment, deployment and provision of incentives for 1, 000 female teachers per year and recruitment and deployment of 1,000 qualified teachers per year, especially to rural areas where they are most needed. “The convention is the most widely-ratified human rights treaty in history and stipulates that every child has the right to education. It has helped to transform children’s lives; inspiring legislative changes to protect children and enabling them to participate actively in their societies,” he said. The global theme for this year’s Day of the African Child is child rights in all situations, including during humanitarian crises.

Group seeks reversal of lopsided appointments in Kwara Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin To ensure justice, equity and fair play in power distribution among the three senatorial districts of Kwara state, a socio-cultural organisation under the aegis of Kwara South Consultative Forum has called on Governor AbdulRahman AbdukRazak to appoint most the senior deputy vice chancellor of the Kwara state University, Malete in an acting capacity pending the appointment of a substantive vice chancellor. The substantive vice chancellor to be appointed, the group said should come from either Kwara North or Kwara South because the outgoing Vice Chancellor, Prof. AbdulRasheed Na’Allah, who hails from Kwara Central, spent 10 consecutive years on the post. The group decried the lopsidedness in appointments to key positions in the university and other places in the state over the years which they noted, had been skewed in favour of Kwara Central to the detriment of the other two senatorial districts. Addressing journalists in Ilorin, the state capital, the group led by Chief Joseph Aderibigbe, who was the pioneer secretary to the state government in Kwara state, admonished indigenes of the three senatorial districts to live together in peace and allow fairness and the fear of God rule their mindsets.

Zoning 2023 presidential ticket to S’West best to immortalise MKO - Lawal Tom Garba,Yola

Adamawa state Organising Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ahmed Lawal has declared that the best way the party can immortalize the memory of the late Chief MKO Abiola, the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 elections is to zone the 2013 presidential ticket to the South West. While lauding President Muhammadu Buhari’s courage in making June 12 the country’s Democracy Day, however stated that the APC should take a step further by handing over the 2023 presidential ticket to the South West in honour of the late Abiola. Lawal made this remark in Yola, Adamawa state stressed the need to make the June 12 celebration worthwhile by immortalising MKO through conceding the 2023 APC presidential ticket to the South West. He stated that “I have said it before and I believe that the 2023 presidential ticket of the APC must go to the South West,” adding that since he made the

comment, party members have been plotting to suspend him from his position and the party. “I am not moved and I will still hold my ground that power must go to the South West. This is federalism for God sake and that is how it should be. It is indecent, undemocratic and against the spirit of fair play that anyone in the North should want to seek for the 2023 ticket. “Nigerians must reflect on the fact that the South West has been the strongest advocate and proponent of democracy and they have always been the pillar of democracy in the country, so Nigerians should return the kindness to the region for standing for this system of government. “As a matter of fact, I have made it my personal task and duty from this June 12 forward to begin to engage and mobilise my fellow northerners to support the idea that power must return to the South West.” Speaking on the acceptability of the June 12 date, he said “I don’t think Nigerians rejected it in anyway, on the contrary, it has been welcomed with huge applause across party and regional lines. “Before now, there have been calls that June

12 be declared Democracy Day or in one way or the other be marked as a significant date in the history of the country and in honour of lives lost in the cause of democracy that led to the return of democracy in 1999. “And those calls were from all over the country, from the north, from the south and particularly from the south west. You would also agree with me that these calls were both the private views and public reservations of most Nigerians and even the international community. “So, the declaration of June 12 as Democracy Day is a point of order in the history of our democracy in Nigeria and it would have remained a recurring narrative in our democratic discourse if it was not resolved as President Buhari did and thank God it is now behind us. “Besides some few reservations, there was no resistance or opposition to it because it was a universal issue. I hope that with this, we will be able to get to a point where what matters more is to be able to put in power people who are competent and capable to lead, people with merit and credibility.

A Muslim cleric, Sheikh Habeebullaah Adam el-ilory on Sunday lauded the Kwara state Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for being magnanimous with power. The cleric said the governor’s resolve to unite the people and not pursue vendetta against his political adversaries is a display of the large heart for which his father and community leader, AbdulGaniyu Folorunsho AbdulRazaq (SAN) is known. “We pray to Allah to make your reign peaceful and beneficial to the people of Kwara who have suffered untold hardship in the past,” Sheikh el-ilory said during a congratulatory visit to the governor and his family in Ilorin, the state capital. “All Kwarans are orphans and it is your duty to take care of them as Allah has commanded. We urge you to continue along the path of peace. We also urge you to avoid the banana peels from the old regime. “Some often destroy and corrupt the earth with whatever power they have. But, when you got power, you overlooked people’s excesses to get things done and put things in shape. “People often take after their parents/progenitors. We aren’t surprised at your magnanimity with power. You have been known to be a good and generous person.

The Transition Committee Chairman (TCC), Awka South LGA, Mr. Leo Nwuba, said the project was an indication of the state government’s commitment toward improving electricity supply in the state.

Taraba senator expresses fear over Senate dominated by ex- governors An All Progressives Congress (APC) Senator from Taraba State, Senator Yusuf Abubakar has expressed concerns over the influx of former governors into the Nigerian Senate The federal lawmaker is of the opinion that the former governors may form an association in the red chambers There are over 20 former governors in the Nigerian Senate at the moment The lawmaker, who is representing Taraba Central Senatorial District in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, expressed his concerns in an interview with a national newspaper. He, however, said there is nothing wrong in tapping from the experience of the former governors after their reign in the states. His words: “In the 8th session, we had 21 governors, though some have gone, more have come to the Senate. “The reality is that people go into governorship elections at a very tender age, so by the time they finished their two terms, they are still strong and active. “It is also natural that they share their wealth of experience with others. Nigeria needs to tap from their experience and if the law permits them, then there is no problem. “The only fear is that, they might want to form an association within the chamber that will insist things must go their way.” Responding to a question on the insinuations that Senate president, Senator Ahmad Lawan will turn the Senate into a rubber stamp for the executive, Senator Yusuf dismissed such thoughts. According to him, “the Senate President was zoned to the NorthEast and it was agreed by all that if anybody will be considered, it should be Senator Ahmad Lawan. “So, the senators went to meet the party, which zoned the seat to the North-East and they told us that, they had decided on Lawan as the Senate president. So, it is not an imposition or autocratic thing that was imposed on us. The people asked for it and it was given to them. “In a presidential system of government, the executive and legislature must work together. It’s the members that asked Mr. President to please support them in endorsing Lawan as Senate President. It cannot be a rubber stamp leadership but a cordial working relationship that will exist between the executive and the Senate.”

Buhari group slams PDP over comment on June 12 Patrick Okohue The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has described the statement credited to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on its role in the recognition of June 12 as a cacophony of lies. According to the BMO, the declaration and actualisation of June 12 as democracy day is a watershed in the history of the nation’s democratic journey and the PDP government did not play any role in shaping that history.

In a statement by the group and signed by its chairman, Niyi Akinsiju and secretary, Cassidy Madueke, the group said that the most significant factor that differentiated APC government from PDP’s is the fact that Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari has played a pivotal role in administering justice to correct the errors of the past which was the annulment of June 12, 1993 election. According to BMO, “June 12 is not just a day to remember the struggles of our past but a day that triggers a new hope and a new

dawn with a substantive direction for a greater Nigeria. “On May 29 this year PDP released a statement saying President Muhammadu Buhari did not deliver a speech at his inauguration for second term, but the opposition party forgot that the symbolism of democracy day was shifted from May 29 to June 12. “What Nigeria needs at the moment is a conscientious opposition not a reckless narcissistic opposition who, rather than show some remorse for their previous apathy, tried to make June 12 about

themselves and their loss at the presidential polls. “PDP was in power at the centre for 16 years and the PDP-led administration, over that period, did not deem it fit to correct the injustice meted out to the clear winner of the June 12, 1993 election, and Nigerians generally. “We wish to admonish the PDP, for its role as opposition, to be introspective and not be reckless with their statements. The election has been won fair and square so they should focus on the business of an opposition party.”

2019 Elections: INEC blames 91 political parties for its failures The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that a large number of political parties that participated in the 2019 general elections caused it a lot of logistics problems. Mohammed Haruna, the National Commissioner in charge of Kwara, Kogi and Nasarawa states, said this on Saturday in Ilorin while speaking with journalists. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that INEC organised a workshop in Kwara to review the 2019 general elections. According to the National Commissioner, there was 799 litigations from the 2019 general elections across the country. He said that Jigawa had no petition from the election, Kwara had only three petitions and that Imo topped the list with 77 petitions. Mr. Haruna said there were over 800 million pre-election cases across the country that arose from political parties’ primary elections. “So you can see that with these kinds of problems we had, there is really a need to look at the number of political parties. “We really need to do something about the 91 political parties, not just the quantity which generally speaking the public have begun to complain that 93 political parties are on the high side,” he added. He noted that 76 political parties contested for the Presidential election, adding that this was the source of the serious logistics problem that the commission had.

“We

Mahmoud Yakubu underestimated the kind of logistical problem that implied the size of the ballot papers, result sheets and so on. By the time these materials started arriving, we realised that it was a huge logistical problem. “We are lucky, we had the Nigerian Air Force to help with the movement of the materials,

they have always been helping us,” Mr. Haruna said. The commissioner said the Electoral Act and the Constitution have to be reviewed to curb the increasing number of political parties. According to him, the Constitution and the Electoral Act made it easy for anybody to register a political party once the person has an office in Abuja and its executive officers that reflected the Federal Character. Mr. Haruna said the workshop was to review the 2019 general election to see what went wrong, and how to make sure that similar mistakes are not repeated in future elections. He said the review would help the commission to do better during off-season elections coming up in Bayelsa and Kogi later in the year. In his remark, the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Kwara, Garba AttahiruMadami, said the workshop was mainly to review the activities of the last election and proffer solutions to identified lapses. Mr. Attahiru-Madami, who was represented by the Administrative Secretary, Martins Chiroma, advised participants to contribute meaningfully to the sessions. “We want to receive inputs from you that will help INEC to overcome challenges identified during the last general elections,” he said. NAN reports that the workshop was attended by Electoral Officers, Assistant Electoral Officers (AEO) in charge of Operations and RAC from the 16 local government areas of the state.

PDP chieftain tasks 9th Assembly on plight of Nigerians A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Chief of Staff to ex-Plateau State governor, Sen. Joshua Dariye, Chief Alexander Mwolwus has challenged the 9th National Assembly to quickly evolve means of ameliorating the plight of Nigerians. Mwolwus who threw the challenge on Sunday during an interview with journalists in Jos said: “They (lawmakers) can’t claim they don’t know the precarious situation of the people presently. “Nigerians are really suffering

due to the unfriendly economic condition the nation has found itself, which calls for pragmatic actions from both the executive and the legislative councils. “Leadership is all about caring for the followers and not subjecting them to untold hardships and stress that make life unbearable. They must check the feelings of the people in all the36 states of the federation for decisive actions. “I am challenging the 9th Assembly to quickly find a way of cushioning the sufferings and plight of Nigerians, many of

whom are committing unnecessary suicide,” he said. Mwolwus who was also Special Adviser on Political Affairs to former Governor Jonah David Jang said “lawmakers should endeavour to make laws that will positively transform the lives of citizens and nothing less.” He argued that the out gone 8th Assembly did a lot by passing so many bills, “yet the plight of the masses still persists.” According to him, any leadership that has vision and is very focused would definitely find the right key

that would unlock the pathway to growth and development. “While l congratulate Sen. Ahmed Lawan for his election as the Senate President and the number three leader of this great nation Nigeria, l expect him to prove himself as a true democrat and leader. “Lawan and Femi Gbajabiamila must free themselves from any form of undue partisanship and carry the legislative council to a deserving and expected height and glory whereby the masses will smile,“ he stated.

SON, ATCON on collision course over quality of fake phones Fake phones can be of acceptable quality– SON You cannot say a fake phone can meet standards- ATCON Ladesope Ladelokun Despite the worry expressed by industry experts about the influx of fake phones into the Nigerian market, the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has said fake products; including phones could be of acceptable quality. The spokesman of the agency, Mr Bola Fashina, in an exclusive interview with The Daily Times explained that a fake phone, like any other product imported or produced in Nigeria, means a product that is not original, noting that it is not the same as saying it is not of acceptable quality. Fashina said producers of fake phones leverage on the brands that are already existing and doing well in the market. While Fashina agrees that a lot of fake

phones are substandard, he said some fake phones or products can still be of acceptable quality. “When you say something is fake, what it means is that it is not original but that is not the same as whether it is not of the quality or not. I agree that a lot of fake products are substandard but not all”, he said. On what SON is doing to curb the circulation of fake phones, he said the agency had developed its own mechanism of dealing with the issue. He said the agency had recently raided some markets in some parts of the country after surveillance and tests were conducted following complaints by Nigerians about the presence of fake and substandard phones in them. “We have developed the capacity to

be able to check the quality of products, including phones. For every one that we are able to sample, we can test and ascertain the quality to determine whether it is of good quality that is acceptable in Nigeria or not. If it is not, we seize them. We have even had cases where we have complaints and based on those complaints, we have gone to markets to do market surveillance. “When we do such after testing and finding out the phones are not of quality. We go to the market and raid. Recently, we have done the same in Lagos, we did in Abuja. We did in as far as Awka. We did in Kano. We are partnering with NCC. But that will be based on the information available to us laboratory tests and analyses to determine the quality of the product.”

Commenting, President, Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria (ATCON), Mr Olusola Teniola, says manufacturers of fake phones are not driven by standards, and it cannot be correct to say a fake phone can meet standards. “Manufacturers of fake phones are not driven by standards, they are driven by price. And with cheaper price comes cheaper components which means they are not built to the standards expected. A fake phone is a copy of the original. The original manufacturer of a phone will always meet 100 per cent of the standards. Because they are fake by nature, they are not obliged to meet standards. You cannot say a fake phone can meet standards. That is not correct”, he said.

Nigeria’s crude oil reserves fall by 481m barrels –OPEC Micheal Ajayi The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries has said that Nigeria’s crude oil reserves declined by 481 million barrels to 36.972 billion barrels in 2018. OPEC in its 2019 Annual Statistical Bulletin, said Nigeria’s crude oil reserves stood at 37.453 billion barrels in 2017 and 2016; 37.062 billion barrels in 2015 and

37.448 billion barrels in 2014. The Organisation data showed that the 2014 steep fall in global oil prices, however, led to the drop of the nation’s rig count from 46 to 29. Rig count is largely a reflection of the level of exploration, development and production activities occurring in the oil and gas sector. The slump in oil prices, which started in mid-June 2014, forced many companies operating in the Nigerian oil

industry to slash their capital budgets and suspend some projects, resulting in a drop in the number of rigs. However the upturn in the rig count in 2018 was mostly triggered by the rally in global crude oil prices and the suspension of militant attacks on oil facilities in the Niger Delta. The number of wells completed in the nation’s oil industry, which dropped from 141 in 2014 to 116 in 2015, increased to 81 last year

from 76 in 2017 and 2016, according to OPEC. Nigeria has the second largest proven reserves in Africa, with an estimated 37.5 billion barrels of crude oil deposits at the end of 2017, representing 2.2 per cent of the global total, according to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2018. The report also has it that the number of active oil rigs in the country rose to 32 last year from 13 in 2017 and nine in 2016.

Inflation rate to climb to 11.39% in May-EIU, Access Bank Motolani Oseni Analysts at The Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU), Access Bank Plc said the nation’s inflation rate for May is expected to increase to 11.39 per cent from 11.37 per cent in April 2019 over seasonal factors and depreciation in Naira. The Economic intelligence Group forecasted May 2019 inflation rate (year-on-year) to climb to 11.39 per cent, stressing that it methodology adopted an autoregressive analysis of past prices, while it recognizes all the assumptions used by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in its computation of monthly Composite Consumer Price Index (CCPI). According to them, “We expect inflation to rise in May, partly reflecting seasonal factors, as well as a slight weakening in the currency which impacted the core

index. “In May, prices of food and nonalcoholic beverages, the largest component in the consumption basket (with a weight of 51.8 per cent) edged slightly higher. “Specifically, the prices of food items such as Irish potatoes, tomatoes, beef, vegetable oil and milk rose in markets monitored in the month. The pressure on food inflation can be attributed to the seasonal rise in demand for agricultural products associated with the Ramadan season.” The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) is scheduled to release the inflation figure for May 2019 on June 17, 2019, based on the data release calendar available on the Bureau’s website. The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) had reported 11.25 per cent inflation rate in March. Inflation rate according to NBS closed February at 11.31per cent

and 11.37per cent in January 2019. Explaining further, they said, “At the NAFEX market, the value of the Naira depreciated by 0.008 per cent to close at N363.43/$ on May 31st from N363.40/$ in the prior month. Similarly, at the parallel market, the Naira depreciated by 0.28 per cent to close at N361/$ from N360/$ in the same period. “We see the likelihood of continued Open Market Operation (OMO) auction by the CBN to keep yields at relatively attractive levels that support healthy portfolio flows. “The yields on the 3- and 6-month treasury bills settled at 10.59 per cent and 12.11 per cent respectively on May 31, compared with 11.19 per cent and 13.56 per cent in that order on April 30th, 2019. On Monetary Policy Responses, Economic Intelligence Unit at

Access bank said, “the Our expectation is that the CBN will maintain the benchmark interest rate at the existing 13.5 per cent against the backdrop of still fragile economic growth. “With no change in the benchmark rate anticipated we expect the CBN to continue the issuance of OMO and stabilisation Securities with focus on sterilizing naira liquidity to reduce USD demand. Last week, analysts at Financial Derivates Company Limited (FDC) and FSDH Research have predicted further increase in inflation rate for the month of May over raining season and security challenges in food producing states in the Northern part of the country. Fitch Rating also projected that the nation’s inflation rate will average close to 12 per cent between 2019 and 2020.

NAMA solicits IATA collaboration on critical manpower training Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has canvassed for partnership and support from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in the training of critical manpower of Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) in the AFI Region. The Managing Director of NAMA Capt. Fola Akinkuotu who made this remark while receiving the IATA Manager, Safety and Flight OperationsATM Infrastructure Focus, West

and Central Africa, Mr Yassine El Charkaoui at the agency’s headquarters in Lagos said “such a gesture would be a win-win for everyone as beneficiaries of the training will be better equipped, better informed and will be in a situation where they will be able to offer better services to the airlines in the discharge of their duties.” Akinkuotu called for more understanding of the situation of ANSPs in the sub-region by the international body on the issue of navigational charges, saying there was the need to consider the cost factors in some areas particularly Nigeria in arriving at a conclusion

as to whether charges are high or not. “A lot of our equipment are in remote areas which we have to support 24/7 on alternative means of electricity, even some are off the national grid, and powering these stations comes at a cost.” The NAMA boss said the continuous dialogue and synergy between IATA and the agency was an indication that both organizations are desirous of a safer airspace, adding that safer airspace would impact positively on the industry. “The safer the airspace, the more passengers we can attract as more people would feel that air travel is truly the

safest means of transportation.” Earlier in his address, Mr El Charkaoui said his meeting with the agency was pursuant to the collaborative decision-making initiative which seeks to improve the operational efficiency of operators, increase capacity and also optimize the utilization of resources. He said the meeting with NAMA would afford the agency the opportunity to share its current and future plans for air traffic management infrastructure with IATA and to ensure that the opinion of airlines was taken into consideration in the deployment of new technologies.

Seasoned banker and Managing Director, Growth & Development Asset Management Limited (GDL), Mr Kola Ayeye has emphasised the need for the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and commercial banks to collaborate with the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to reposition the power sector for a quantum leap in performance. He said it is time to admit the failure of the last power privatisation exercise, and recommended a new programme where NERC, CBN and banks should, on a competitive basis, invite a global player in the calibre of GE (General Electric) or such similar player to commit to generating, transmit and distribute a minimum of 20,000 MW daily within 5 years, increasing same to 30,000MW daily by the 10th year. Ayeye speaking at an interactive forum in Lagos, said: “We will be contracting to pay for power successfully delivered to the consumer rather than contracting for the execution of power projects. Execution of power projects has produced very poor results after huge investments in excess of $16bn. The nation has invested massively in power projects with poor results so we should change the model. Rather than contracting to execute power projects, let’s contract best-in-class players to deliver power. It is not our business how they generate, transmit or distribute the power. They are to deliver power. They will only get paid for the power they deliver to the consumers. Such big players exist and the size of the Nigerian power market is sufficient to attract them.” He advocated that the contract with the new concessionaire will be backed with a10-year payment guarantee for power delivered to the consumer which will be provided either by AfDB, World Bank or first class international banks. Ayeye added, “Let us find a partner who will take over available power assets across the entire value chain. But our commitment will be to pay for power delivered to the consumer. This contract will be between $8-12bn, and is definitely of a sufficient scale to attract a global best-in-class operator.” Mr Ayeye, a former Executive Director of Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria, AMCON, decried the level of the default of both electricity generation companies (GENCOS) and distribution companies(DISCOS) to the banks stated such entities should be put up for reconcessioning /reprivatisation either through voluntary collaboration with CBN/NERC/banks or through receivership where the operator refuses to cooperate. All such GENCOs and DISCOs, together with TCN, he opined, will be concessioned to this new operator.The new program will require collaboration between CBN, the banks and NERC. He said this radical reform in the power sector is necessary to address the abysmal performance of the present players who have failed to deliver constant power to users in Nigeria. “Current operators should be compelled to either liquidate their debts or participate in a better managed program of ceding management and control to a best-in-class operator. The debts provide a platform for inviting new operators through either voluntary negotiation with the existing owners or receivership. The hitherto privatised entities should not be renationalised. However, the CBN, banks and NERC should initiate a programme of using these debts as a basis for reconcessioning underperforming operators to a world-class operator. This operator will be responsible for the entire value chain covering feedstock production, generation, transmission, distribution and collection.” Speaking on the country’s tariff structure, he said investors should not use the nation’s current tariff as an excuse for the underperformance of the sector.

AFCON: Super Eagles lose 1-0 to Senegal in friendly

Everton midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye scored the decisive goal as Senegal defeated Nigeria 1-0 at the Ismaila Stadium on Sunday in their final build-up game ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. Gueye who is courted by French club Paris Saint Germain scored the winning goal on the half hour mark. The Super Eagles battled hard to find the leveller after the break but were unable to find a way past the Teranga Lions’ defence led by Napoli centreback Kalidou Koulibaly. Gernot Rohr’s charges have now failed to register a goal in their last two games which will be a big

worry for the German as his side head into AFCON 2019. The West Africans were held to a 0-0 draw by the Warriors of Zimbabwe in their first pre-AFCON 2019 friendly game last Saturday at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba. The Super Eagles are now expected to head to Alexandria where they will play their three Group B games against Burundi, Guinea and Madagascar. They will open their campaign against Burundi on Saturday June 22 at the Alexandria Stadium. Rohr charges will also face Guinea and Madagascar on June 26 and June 30 respectively in their other Group B matches.

Wilfred Ndidi ‘flattered’ by Manchester United links, but insists focus is on AFCON Leicester City star Wilfred Ndidi has admitted he is “flattered” to be linked with a big money move away from the King Power Stadium, but insists his focus is currently on Nigeria’s bid to win the Africa Cup of Nations. The midfielder was an ever-present for the Foxes in the Premier League last season, and enjoyed an eye-catching campaign – particularly once Brendan Rogers had taken the managerial reigns in February this year. Perhaps not surprisingly, his form has attracted the attention of some of England’s biggest clubs, with Manchester United, Arsenal and Champions League winners Liverpool all credited with an interest in the 22-year-old. But, while Ndidi has acknowledged such reports are complimentary, his feet remain firmly on the ground as he looks to make his mark in Egypt over the next five weeks, and in the blue of Leicester beyond that. “I am flattered when hearing such a thing,” Ndidi, who arrived in the Premier League from Belgian club Genk in a £14m deal in early 2017, told Goal. “It is very good to hear about that interest from big clubs, but there is nothing on the ground so I won’t care about it. “I am focusing on AFCON with Nigeria now, and then pre-season with Leicester City. We have a great manager with ambition to compete with big clubs in the Premier League.” Nigeria open their AFCON campaign

against Burundi in Alexandria on Saturday, and are overwhelming favourites to qualify for the last 16 from a group that also contains Guinea and Madagascar. Ndidi, however, is taking nothing for granted ahead of next weekend’s opener, and claims one of the biggest potential challenges could well come from one of his former Leicester team-mates as well as the tournament’s other big hitters from the likes of Egypt and Senegal. “Mohamed Salah is a very good player,” he says. “I’ve played against him three times – he’s a great finisher and very fast. Sadio Mane is also a very good player. “But the toughest one for me is (Algeria’s) Riyad Mahrez. He was at Leicester and we trained together every day before he left for Manchester City. “He is very difficult, skinny and very technical. You have to slow down to take him out – if you go fast he will finish you in seconds. “I don’t think that it is an easy group. For me, there is no easy team in modern football. The name does not matter – the only thing that matters in the 90 minutes of the game. “We can get a shock from this group, so we have to stay focused on the game, not on how easy it is, and ignore what people say. “We will play tough games against very good teams, and our target is to be on the top by the end of the group stages.”

With a warm-up friendly against Senegal to come on Sunday, Nigeria’s attempt to reach next month’s final in Cairo will depend heavily on the form of Ndidi and his midfield co-star John Obi Mikel. The former Chelsea man and Nigeria’s captain, now 32, was something of a hero of Ndidi’s during his younger days, and his influence in the middle of the park for the Super Eagles could have a huge bearing on their fate. “It is great to play with him,” admits Ndidi. “I grew up watching Mikel. He is my role model and playing alongside him is a great thing “He is very calm, a good captain, and he gives advice to everyone and speaks with everyone. When you talk to him, he is very humble. “It is a plus to the team having such a player. We grew up watching him, and now we’re playing with him he gives us more confidence “With our current players, coach and staff, I think we can do something great. The important thing is to try to win games as much as we can. “We cannot talk about winning the cup now – we will deal with it game by game and see what will happen. There are many good teams here. “For me, Senegal and Egypt are the favourites. Senegal is a very good, tough team and they have great players, while Egypt are at home.”

Caster Semenya declines invitation to compete at Rabat 800m race Two-time Olympic champion Caster Semenya will not run her specialist 800m distance at Rabat on Sunday despite having received an invitation to do so, in the latest twist of her bitter court battle over gender rules. “She received an invitation but is unable to organise her schedule to come to Rabat,” organiser Alain Blondel told AFP. Semenya was cleared to take part in the Diamond League meeting after Switzerland’s top court rejected an IAAF request to re-impose rules obliging her to lower her testosterone before competing in certain events. Organisers of the Morocco event had initially refused to allow the South African to take part but on Friday they “confirmed her invitation”. “After checking the situation of Caster Semenya in the light of the decisions of the Swiss Federal Court, and the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the head of the international athletics meeting in Rabat, Alain Blondel, is happy to confirm the

invitation,” said a statement on the event’s official site. The Swiss federal court issued their order on Wednesday, explaining “this means that Caster remains permitted to compete without restriction in the female category at this time”. The IAAF had earlier this month opposed a ruling by the court temporarily suspending the federation’s rules following an appeal by Semenya who won the women’s 800 metres at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics. The athlete was contesting a decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport which previously found the rules were “discriminatory” but “necessary” to ensure fairness in women’s athletics. The rules require women with higher than normal male hormone levels, a condition known as hyperandrogenism, to artificially lower the amount of testosterone in their bodies if they are to compete in races over distances of 400m to the mile.

Maurizio Sarri joins Juventus on three-year deal “Maurizio Sarri is the new Juventus coach. #WelcomeSarri,” Juventus tweeted on their official Twitter handle on Sunday. He succeeds Massimiliano Allegri who guided the Turin to another league title last season. His departure is set to pave the way for Frank Lampard to return to the Stamford Bridge as Chelsea boss Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia has suggested the club could not stand in the way of Sarri’s “strong desire” to return to Italy and be closer to his elderly parents. “In talks we had following the Europa League final, Maurizio made it clear how strongly he desired to return to his native country, explaining that his reasons for wanting to return to work in Italy were significant,” she said. “He also believed it important to be nearer his family, and for the well-being of his elderly parents he felt he needed to live closer to them at this point. “Maurizio leaves Chelsea with thanks

from us all for the work he and his assistants did during the season he spent as our head coach, and for winning the Europa League, guiding us to another cup final and a third-place finish in the Premier League. “We would also like to congratulate him on securing the role as big as any in Serie A and to wish him the best of luck for the future.” Sarri leaves Chelsea after just one season in which they finished third in the Premier League and lifted the 60-year-old’s first major trophy as a manager.

Times Guest Columnist By Owei Lakemfa

One of the most memorable places I have ever visited is the Corinthia Hotel on Nile Street, Khartoum. My favourite pastime each time I visited, was having an early morning breakfast in the highrise restaurant in the hotel. There, I seat facing the confluence where the White Nile, which begins its life-enriching journey from Burundi’s Ruvyironza waters and those of Rwanda’s Nyungwe, flows into the Kagera River in Tanzania, from where it embarks on a 3,700-Kilometre journey, to meet the Blue Nile. The colours of the latter, which begins its 1,450-Kilometre journey from Lake Tania in Ethiopia, are clearly distinguishable from that of the White Nile. Whenever I sit watching this mesmerising eternal marriage of the Nile, which then flows to Egypt, I never fail to recall that it gave rise to modern civilisation. Last week, the confluence continued its flow, but it also yielded the unsightly images of bloated bodies; those of prodemocracy activists and protesters who had on April 11, sent off the al-Bashir government and swept its contents, including President Omar al-Bashir, into prison. The new dictators, while calling for continued ‘negotiations’, murdered least 101 protesters for insisting on a civil administration. The Sudanese military is behaving like the man Leo Tolstoy wrote about: “I sit on a man’s back choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am sorry for him and wish to lighten his load by all mean possible…except by getting off his back.” The ongoing peoples’ uprising began in December 2018 with protests against the rising price of bread and a poorly managed economy. The Sudanese generals had pretended that they were one with the people and supported their move to democratise the country. They even exchanged shots with functionaries of the Bashir government to give the false impression that they wanted change. But all they have done is to sacrifice Bashir, and impose a deadlier regime. The Sudanese people had clear identifiable leaders who spearheaded the revolution and all they want is for the civil populace to govern. The neocolonial military, while claiming to agree, wore the people down in endless ‘negotiations”, while rebuilding its forces that had been overwhelmed by the peoples

movement. Even while it claimed it was engaged in negotiations on civil control and was yet to settle the question of whether the transition government will be headed by civilians or the military, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan went on state visits as the head of state. He was in Egypt, where a similar betrayal of a peoples’ movement had taken place and a more murderous General, later ‘Field Marshall’ Abdul fatah el-Sisi had sized power on July 3, 2013. General Burhan, still pretending to be the Sudanese head of state visited Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, who gave him $500 million to consolidate his position in Sudan. They promised him a further $2.5 billion if he can quash the pro-democracy protests and bring Sudan under the tutelage of both countries and their masters in Washington. It is the culture of the neocolonial armies of Africa to arrest genuine change. The Sudanese army was established in 1898 by colonial Britain’s General Herbert Kitchener to serve colonial interests. The process of indigenising the officer corps to give it Sudanese flavour began in 1900. When the country became independent in 1956, the military was fractured into ethno-religious and political alliances. The military was constantly planning coups, and then Colonel Gaafar Mohamed el-Nimeiry, a 1966 graduate of the United States Army Command College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, succeeded in overthrowing the Ismāʿīl al-Azharī government in 1969. When a peoples’ uprising toppled Nimeiry in 1985, the military, led by General Abdel al-Dahab, opportunistically took over. This is the history being replicated today. The typical neo-colonial military officer in Africa comes from a lowly background, is sucked into an institution in which he is trained with public funds and, in comparison with other public officers, is well paid with a good welfare package. But in the absence of war, and apart from training, does no productive work. Despite this, he is quick to demand more benefits and is a ready to subvert the peoples’ will, especially where there is move to change the system, as it is happening in Sudan. A former Nigeria Police public relations officer, Alozie Ogbugbuaja told a Tribunal of Inquiry in the 1990s that the military was not seriously

engaged, and as such from noon, the officers could be found at their Mess drinking pepper soup and beer; hence they had all the time to plan coups. He was victimised, transferred out of Lagos, detained and pushed out of the police. Even in retirement, the most popular policeman in Nigerian history was not allowed to find his feet. I grew under the cumulative 29year military rule in Nigeria and was shocked when I encountered a different kind of military on the streets of Havana. This was a military whose primary duties included constructing mass housing, clearing drainages and generally being productive, like the rest of the populace. Yet when it came to fighting one of the most ruthless armies in the world, the South African Defence Forces, the Cuban Army proved to be matchless. I could not but reflect that while back home, the military was alienated from other Nigerians who they call “bloody civilians”, in Cuba the military is an integral part of the people, and soldiers are expected to be better behaved than other citizens. Yet, it is not because Cuba is a communist country. In noncommunist European countries, the soldier exhibits the highest decorum on the streets. A decadeand-a-half ago, I spent about two weeks in Vienna, Austria; not once did I see a soldier in uniform. In fact, the only times I saw a policemen in uniform were at the train station. Initially I saw none, and had to ask a Nigerian resident if there were no policemen in the country. She told me I should try once or twice to cross the road without the pedestrian red light on, that is when I will discover that the passerby might be a policeman. With very few exceptions like in Mouamar Ghadafi in Libya and Thomas Sankara in Burkina Faso, Africa’s military regimes have been a curse. After slavery and colonialism, the single most tragic occurrence in Africa, which is also largely responsible for its underdevelopment, is military dictatorship. Spreading like Ebola, military dictatorship infected fifteen of the sixteen West African countries; only Senegal was spared. Today, most of Africa continues to suffer from the withdrawal symptoms of military dictatorship, which include impunity, disregard for the legislature, disdain for the judiciary, corruption of the electoral process, a dictatorial mindset and general lack of respect for the citizenry.

AFCON: Burundi will be difficult – Gernot Rohr Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr expects a tough battle against the Swallows of Burundi in his side’s first Group B match at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt. The three-time African will be looking to open their campaign on winning note when they face the debutants inside the 20,000 capacity Alexandria Stadium this Saturday, June 22. And despite Burundi’s status as one of the underdogs who are making their first appearance in the AFCON finals, Rohr has warned his players they must be wary of the threat of their opponents. “I think we can come out of the group. From there, we can then take it match by match, but the most important thing now is the first game against Burundi,” Rohr stated in an a video interview on the official Twitter handle of the Super Eagles.

“The first game is always important. It is always difficult. Everyone is always fresh, the small countries don’t have anything to lose. “Burundi have good players in England and Europe. They have players in South Africa which makes them a dangerous opponent. “But we are Nigeria. We played at the World Cup in Russia as one of the five African countries which is good for us . We also have 15 players from the World Cup in this team which is quite remarkable. ” The Super Eagles are expected to leave for Alexandria on Monday after today’s friendly encounter against the Teranga Lions of Senegal at the Ismaila Stadium. Rohr charges will also face Guinea and Madagascar on June 26 and June 30 respectively in other Group B matches.

WWC: Falcons can beat France if they show the resilient Nigerian spirit – Coach

Mansur Abdullahi, the Super Falconets’ Assistant Coach, on Sunday in Abuja said the Super Falcons needed to go for nothing less than victory over hosts France on Monday. Newsmen report that the Nigerian senior women national football team face the hosts in their final Group A match at the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup. Abdullahi told newsmen that victory was the only guarantee for the team’s qualification for the 24-team competition’s round of 16. He, however, acknowledged that France was a better side based on recent performances and records so far, even from the matches played earlier in the competition. “France has won two of their matches in the Group without drawing any, while Nigeria won one and lost one,” Abdullahi said. “But Nigeria can still make an impact by going all out for victory, without fear of France’s records.

“The Super Falcons need to rise to the occasion, in spite of the home advantage of France. “Nigeria may change the narrative by beating France if they show the resilient Nigerian spirit.” France had earlier beaten South Korea 4-0 and Norway 2-1, while Nigeria lost 0-3 to Norway and beat South Korea 2-0 in their second match.
