Hope Uzodimma and Joe Ajaero

By Akinwale Kasali

As the negative effect of the manhandling, in Owerri, of Joe Ajaero, National President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, widens, and condemnation slams in like claps of thunder, Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma has accused  Ajaero of  abandoning his job at the NLC,  to meddle into local politics.

This is just as the World Owerri Peoples Congress, WOPC, in a statement it issued, expressed shock at the brutalisation of Ajaero, and called on Uzodinma to thorium investigate the near fatal fate that befell the NLC President.

In same manner, the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, ASUP, condemned in strong language, Ajaero’s brutalisation in Owerri, Imo State, allegedly, by Police Operatives of the Imo State Police Command, and called on President Bola Tinubu, to intervene in the matter.

Speaking for the first time since the incident, Uzodinma  accused Ajaero of not being able to differentiate between  his high profile office as the National President of the NLC, and the local politics in Imo State where he hails from.

The Governor spoke to State House Correspondents, Presidential Villa, after he received the APC Governorship flag against the Governorship Election slated for November 11, 2023, from President Tinubu.

He advised Ajaero to draw a line between his role as a labour leader and a partisan Imo State indigene.

The Governor, also,  accused the NLC leader of trying to blackmail his Government over non-payment of salaries, and insisted that all Imo workers have been paid their due wages.

Uzodimma:  “What has happened in this ugly coincidence is that the National President of the Nigeria Labour Congress is from Imo State and has not been able to demarcate the line between being a National leader of an organisation and an interested party in local politics

“I understand the sensitivity of this event (protest). But I want you people to be very careful because there is an attempt to mix up partisan politics or an attempt to blackmail my Government.

“I can tell you that my people are already aware,  that was why the NLC Imo State Chapter addressed a world press conference that what their National leadership is doing is not correct and that they are not going to join any strikes or protests.

“And in the process, they decided to dissolve them to put in a caretaker. Of course, I’m the Chief Security Officer and I have a responsibility to intervene. I encourage the national leadership not to dissolve a management team that their tenure had not expired, and that was what they did.”

He insisted that he does not interfere in labour matters, and  noted: “I have convinced Workers in Imo State to believe in me, and that trust is what opposition parties are trying to fight.”

Uzodimma argued that his administration did not owe workers’ salaries, and said it  is the reason Imo Workers endorsed him.

His words: “No wonder the entire labour congress of Imo State Chapter endorsed me and I’m the only candidate they are supporting in the election. The Nigerian Union of Pensioners also endorsed me.”

IMSG Denies Culpability

In its first official reaction, the Imo State Government washed its hands off Ajaero’s ordeal. The  Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, on Thursday, said that those accusing the state government of having hands in Ajaero’s travails were mischief makers.

He said in a statement l: “Imo State Government has washed its hands clean concerning the arrest of the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade Joe Ajaero.”

The Commissioner said he recalled that the strike had been called off and “wondered what Ajaero was doing in Owerri in defiance of the order of the Court, which warned of severe consequences against disobedience.”

NLC Differs

But debunking the the Government’s claim,  Head of Information of the NLC, Benson Upah, said Ajaero was picked up at the State Secretariat of the NLC in Owerri and taken to an unknown location, after which he reappeared hours later, brutalised.

The NLC accused the State Government of masterminding the attack on Ajaero who was badly injured, hospitalised, and may be flown abroad for further treatment.

The Leadership of the NLC vowed to take action against the brutalisation of its National President.

The Union also noted that a decision would be taken following a meeting of all its organs.

Upah stated: “There will be a full and appropriate response. As soon as the organs meet, you will be availed the details.” Already, the Organised Labour has given President Tinubu six actions to take, including the removal of the Commissioner of Police, Imo State, or it would declare a strike action Nationwide as from November 8, 2023.

WOPC Protests, Calls For Investigation

In a statement signed by its President, Nze Ben Azuna, the World Owerri Peoples Congress condemned Ajaero’s brutalisation. It said it is “unacceptable to resort to unprovoked brutality as a means of law enforcement.” It pointed out that “such actions undermine the principles of justice and presumption of innocence”

The statement reads in full:

“The World Owerri People’s  Congress strongly condemns the arrest and brutality meted to NLC President Comrade Joe Ajaero.

“We have observed with revulsion and disappointment the growing brutal impunity of violence and political thuggery that has engulfed our beautiful Imo State and Owerri communities in particular.

“Because we believe in the rule of law, due process and the presumption of innocence, we the World Owerri Peoples Congress unequivocally condemn in strongest terms the inhumane treatment, and physical assault on the President of the Nigeria Labor Congress, Comrade Ajero in Owerri, Imo State by a team of law enforcement agents.

“It is unacceptable to resort to unprovoked brutality as a means of law enforcement; such actions undermine the principles of justice and presumption of innocence.

“Owerri people will stand united against any form of illegal arrests and unprovoked brutality on any citizen in Owerri. We call for accountability and justice in this matter. We are calling on Governor Hope Uzodinma to thoroughly investigate and bring those responsible for the extra judicial violent assault on the NLC President Comrade Joe Ajero to justice.

“We seek the Governor’s assurance on the protection of individual rights and freedoms as well as fair law enforcement practices in our homeland going forward.”

Similarly, the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics  condemned the attack on Ajaero.

In a statement signed by its National President, Anderson Ezeibe, the Union said it would await directives from the NLC on the steps to take.

The statement partly reads:

“Our Union has been closely monitoring reports from Imo State as it affects the planned protest by the leaderships of the NLC and TUC over the conditions of Imo workers in Imo State.

“It is shocking to read reports of attacks and brutalisation of unarmed workers and the leadership of the NLC to the extent of causing bodily harm to our protesting Comrades who were only expressing their constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of association and expression.”

While demanding “the swift intervention of the President of the country” in the matter, ASUP stated that it was “awaiting further directives from the organs of the NLC on this matter.”

Unity Bank’s Market Confidence Driving Profitability, Says Somefun; Gross Earnings Hit N38.2bn in Q3’23

The managing director of Unity Bank Plc, Tomi Somefun has disclosed that the lender is currently enjoying a robust market confidence that would drive profitability for the financial institutions in both the short and medium terms.
The commercial bank’s chief executive spoke on the back of the nine months unaudited report released to the Nigerian Exchange Group, NGX, which showed that the lender recorded a gross earnings of N38 billion, aside sterling performance recorded in other key metric areas.
The nine-month period, according to the retail lender ended September 30, 2023.
According to Somefun, the bank is focusing on its efforts to recapitalize the institution, aggressively drive asset creation, innovate with products to compete favourably in new markets and relentlessly drive the pursuit of digital Banking innovation in order to shake off and completely reverse negative positions.
She stated that despite the tough operating environment, the deposit position continues to witness steady appreciation, which supports the business as the Bank drives initiatives to ramp up transactions as part of its strategy for the short and medium term.
“This also means that the Bank enjoys market confidence, which will enable the institution to thrive better in the months ahead with increased business conversion, profitability and growth needed to achieve sustainable returns,” she said.
Added to the above, Somefun also stated that “the Bank is seeing encouraging uptake in its digital Banking services and with expansion envisaged in the pursuit of enhanced retail franchise, fintech partnership, consumer banking and other innovative retail loans as well as diversification of portfolio investment, the outlook remains one of optimism’’.
Further details of the report indicate that
customer deposits appreciated by five percent to N344.4 billion within the period, indicating business growth and customer confidence in the bank.
Instructively, the Bank continued to maintain its expansionary and customer-centric model with total loans and advances rising to N222.8 billion, even as interest and similar income stood at N33 billion, which underscores the bank’s strategic focus to reinvigorate and sustain asset creation that will deliver returns to shareholders.
Other key highlights of the 9-month financials include the total assets which stood at N423.4 billion; net fee and income commission, N4.4 billion within the period. However, the recent FX regulation impacted the Bank’s bottom line, which can be reversed as the Naira appreciates.
Analysts expressed confidence that re-engaging the market in the short and medium term by deepening the retail end as part of the business strategy will drive more income streams to boost both market share and financial position in the days ahead.

The Federal Government is set to receive another tranche of $150 million of Sani Abacha’s loot from France.

Nigeria will receive the loot from the French Government as plans have been concluded between both Nations to return the $150 million taken away from Nigeria by the regime of  former Military Head of State, late Gen. Abacha, during five years of his tenure.

The plan to return the funds came 25 years after the demise of the former Head of State, General. Sani Abacha, who took public funds abroad to deposit them in commercial banks across European countries.

Meanwhile, the President acknowledged the signing of a €100 million agreement between Nigeria and France, a fund expected to support the i-DICE programme, a Federal Government initiative which was designed to promote investment in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Creative Arts Industries.

President Tinubu made this disclosure on Friday after meeting the Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs of France, Catherine Colonna, who paid him a courtesy visit at the Villa, assured the France Government that the funds would be utilised judiciously by his administration.

The 18 immediate past Executive Chairmen of Local Government Areas of Ondo State have denied receiving salaries after leaving office in August.

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the State through its publicity secretary, Kenedy Peretei, had accused the Chairmen of impunity for drawing salaries from Council coffers after expiration of their tenure in August.

They described the statement credited to the State Publicity Secretary of PDP, accusing them of drawing salaries from the State treasury after leaving office as figment of his imagination.

In a statement signed by the former Chairman, Association of Local Government of Nigeria, (ALGON) Augustine Oloruntogbe stated that the author of the  information failed to provide a evidence to support his allegations, as he has no prove of who approved the payment and how much had been collected.

“We wish to inform members of the public to see the report as not only malicious and libelious and parts of futile attempts by the drowning PDP to soil the image of the past local government chairmen and by extension. the present administration in the state.

“As you will all recall, all the former LG Chairmen legitimately handed over the affairs of the 18 local government areas to their various Head of Local Government Administration, who have been holding forth since 30th of August 2023 in accordance with the extant rules.

“And we want to use this opportunity to thank Mr Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN, CON for putting up democratic structure in all the council areas, which allows us to serve our people at grassroot level.”

According to the Chairmen, “we could have ignored his jaundiced report, but we have a duty to lay the facts before the public so that the good people of Ondo state are not misled by a group of unfortunate politicians who are still leaking their political wounds from home and abroad.

“This deliberate falsehood by Peretei and his cohorts can only be described as a Merchant selling the Sun to buy Candles or some set of mischief makers sprigging up mere political gimmicks to seek cheap publicity.

“We therefore want to call on Mr Peretei Ikantu to withdraw the libellous publication with public apology within 24 hours, failure which we will recourse to legal remedy.”

The 10 days ultimatum given to the Fulani Community in the South Western States by Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popular as Sunday Igboho, to vacate Yorubaland has led to the threat by a Northern Group to stop food supply to the region.

The Northern Group under the aegis of Northern Consensus Movement Of Nigeria, NCMN, has vowed to stop food supply to the South West, and also force the Yoruba living in the Northern part of the country to evacuate the Northern region.

The group vowed to do everything in its reach to stop the move, adding that if the threat persists they will be forced to use another alternative to see that no Yoruba remain in their region.

Awwal Aliyu, President of the Group gave the warning during a press conference  which contents and  video  have since gone viral.

Aliyu said, “Just recently, Sunday Igboho was released from prison but he issued a fresh ultimatum for the Fulani community that are living in  Yorubaland to leave the region within seven days.

“This time around, we, the Northern Consensus Movement of Nigeria, will do everything possible to stop that move and if he resists listening, then we have no option other than to ask the Yoruba who are living in Northern Nigeria to also go back to their region.:

The Group, however, demanded compensation for the victims of the #ENDSARs killings, the Shasha-Akinyele market and the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and Eastern Security Network, ESN, killings.

It also noted that several efforts made on their demands have proven abortive as their pleas were ignored by the previous and current leaders across the country.

Awwal on behalf of the Group issued a four-week ultimatum for their demands to be met, noting that they would embark on a  nationwide protest and stop all food supplies to the southern region of the country.

“On the issue of compensation to our victims of the ENDSARS killing, SASA-Akinyele market killings and IPOB and ESN killings, wee have been pursuing it for several years now. Since previous administrations, a lot of promises were made but the Federal Government refused to fulfill the promises.

“So, we are requesting President Bola  Tinubu to do something to it as we are giving a four-week ultimatum. If nothing is done, we are going on peaceful protest, after which we will shut down the country on all food supplies moving from the North to all Southern parts of the country.

“This thing we have sent to the President even before he was elected, we have also forwarded this demand and request. All heads of security agencies are aware of it. all governors of the 19 northern states, all former leaders, former presidents of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, most especially those from the North are aware of it.

“The Northern traditional councils are aware of it, the 19 Northern state assemblies are also aware of it.”

The group also called on  the Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, to call Sunday Igboho to order with immediate effect.

The Organised Labour, still angry with the manhandling of one of its Leaders in Imk State, has vowed to call out workers for a strike on Wednesday.

Nigeria Labour Congress, (NLC), and its Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, (TUC),  have informed the Federal Government that workers will go on strike November 8, over Wednesday’s  battering of NLC President, Joe Ajaero.

Leaders of the NLC and TUC, at a briefing Friday in Abuja,  also released a six-point demand, including the immediate removal of the Commissioner of Police, Imo State and Area Commander, among other officials, for their alleged complicity in the brutalization and humiliation of Ajaero and other workers.

The NLC had earlier stated that Ajaero will be flown abroad for further treatment over his brutalization by, allegedly, Police Operatives  in Owerri.

The brutalization of Ajaero elicited outrage and condemnation across the country.

The Union leaders are expected to meet again on Tuesday, to decide on an appropriate response to the attack.

Ajaero had gone to Imo State to organise a mass protest by Workers against the State Government over sundry issues, including alleged non-payment of salaries. The arrangement went awry when Police Operatives pounced on Ajaero and inflicted serious  injuries on him.

Government denies it is owing staff, and said it has even paid wages for October 2023.

Femi Falana, SAN, has accused the federal Government of compounding problems of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with the appointment of political parties card carrying members as Resident Electoral Officers.

There are strong allegations, with pictorial evidence,  which show that Dr Anugbum Onuoha, the Resident Electoral Commissioner for Rivers State is a full member of the ruling APC.

In a photograph, he was seen wearing a Tee-shirt bearing the photographs of FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and that of the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara. They were on a campaign for the election of Fubara as Governor.

Also, the nominee for Akwa Ibom State, Sir Etekamba Umoren, is a card carrying member of the APC, and was, allegedly, Chief of Staff to Senate President, Godswill Akpabio from 2015-2019.

Falana pointed out that conducting  credible elections in such a situation would further be complicated.

Falana, who was a guest on Channels Television, was commenting on the newly-appointed INEC RECs confirmed by the Senate on Wednesday and Thursday.

He said: “Successive regimes in Nigeria, Yar’Adua’s regime, Jonathan’s regime, and Buhari’s regime have all set up electoral reform committees or panels to make recommendations that will assist the government to have credible elections.

“In the case of President Tinubu as a leader of the ACN, he set up a committee for electoral reforms to campaign for the implementation of the recommendations of the Uwais Panel and one of them is that we must have independent umpires in every particular material.

“You can’t have a card-carrying member of a political party or a loyalist of a political party to be a Resident Electoral Commissioner or a national commissioner; you complicate the problem for INEC to have credible elections.”

Following the appointment of 10 new RECs for INEC by President Tinubu, Civil Society Organisations and some other Nigerians raised alarm about some of the appointees, who were said to have political affiliations, asking the Senate not to confirm them. However, the Senate confirmed all the nominees as RECs.

Falana, who said three of the appointees are members of the All Progressives Congress, while one is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, condemned their confirmation by the Senate.

He disclosed that the PDP in Akwa Ibom State has gone to court to challenge the appointment of Mr Etekamba Umoren, who was a former Chief of Staff to the Senate President,  Godswill Akpabio, an APC chieftain in Akwa Ibom State as the REC for the state.

According to the SAN, the appointment of three other RECs should be challenged in court.

He also added that if the Courts prove that these appointments are illegal, then their Senate confirmation cannot legitimize them.

Zamfara: How Fmr. Gov. Matawalle Bought Massage Chairs N50m Each, Empowered Bandits, Accommodated Them In Govt. House

The immediate past Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle has been accused of unprecedented recklessness while he was Governor. Matawalle, currently the Minister for State, Defence, has also been accused of empowering and encouraging murderous bandits by buying vehicles for them, and giving them asylum at Government House.

These allegations were made during an interview by   AbdulMalik Gajam, the State’s Commissioner for Budget and Planning.

According to Commissioner Gajam, Matawalle ran the State aground by spending money recklessly as if it was going out of fashion.

“This administration spent more than N15 billion in the Government House alone, and now, if you go to Zamfara State, there is no Governor’s office that is functioning. They even bought massage chairs for N50million in a state where people are hungry and are dying of illiteracy and insecurity and people are dying of malnutrition.”

He, also revealed that the State does not have upto two vehicles capable of taking one from Zamfara to Abuja “efficiently and effectively in time.”

His words during the interview when asked the situation the new administration met in the State and how they have coped so far.

“My name is AbdulMalik Abubakar Gajam, the Honourable Commissioner for Budget and Planning.

“You see, when we came into the saddle, we met Zamfara State in insecurity crisis. When you talk of economic output, Zamfara State is 32 over 37, and when we talk of importation, Zamfara State is 32 over 37. But when we talk about business competition and industrialization, Zamfara State is 35 over 37.

“When we talk about Healthcare, Zamfara State is 26 over 37. In terms of Education, Zamfara State is 30, when we talk about ICT, Zamfara State is 34. So, when you look at all these numbers, this is based on statistics that was done by ADSR that showed the scorecards of Nigeria States and overall averagely, the high mark is 45 in which Zamfara State was under 40, so Zamfara State was 36 over 37 overall In Nigeria. That means we are last, we are taking the Zee.

“This year alone, Zamfara State is to pay Debt Servicing of over N30 Billion. We have paid more than N20 Billion from January till date.

“As it stands today In Zamfara State, they do not have two vehicles that can take you from Zamfara to Abuja efficiently and effectively in time.

“A Government that removes from Public Account, Tax Payer money to put into construction and nothing is built.

“There is nothing to show on Healthcare, even those Primary Healthcare, when you go around now, you cannot even take animals into those structures you have built for us as Primary Healthcare Centers and Hospitals with World Bank money, and then suspended work, and at the end of the day, there are no equipment, there is no manpower, there is no planning, there is no policy. We are still having emergencies in Marafa and Anka Local Government where Children are dying of Cholera.

“You think that the Government will be sensible enough to invest those monies into education sector, it is sad that we do not have a functioning education system In Zamfara State.

“What will amaze you is the idea that the past administration spent three years without paying for WAEC and NECO fees. That means every young person In Zamfara State that graduated from Secondary School in the past three years has become a second person to somebody from Imo State and Sokoto State that is of the same age of what we are engaged into, that were enrolled into schools together. Now he is three years far behind.

“The past administration spent over N15 billion in the Government House alone, and now if you go to Zamfara State, there is no Governor Office that is functioning, we are even rehabilitating at the moment.

“They even bought Massage Chairs for N50 Million in a State where people are hungry and are dying of illiteracy and insecurity, and people are dying of Malnutrition. There is no 5KM Road constructed in Four Years.

“They have spent billions of Zamfara State’s hard earned money. They came to AMCON, the contribution of Pension was supposed to be since inception in 2005, the employer was meant to contribute, the employee will also contribute from the beginning of time, since its inception, but the Government of Zamfara State that is the employer never put in their contribution, in which the employees were contributing.

“At the end of the day, the past administration came to AMCON, withdrew the money, and removed themselves from that engagement of a fiscal policy that transform the Pension processes and enable our people to get access to their investment after retirement, they withdrew that money and squandered over One Point Something Billion Naira out of the Pension Money.

“The legacy the past Government left in Zamfara State is that he bought vehicles, Hilux Vehicles and dash them away to Bandits, the evidence is there for all to see. He was giving asylum to Bandits in Government House, people that killed even in tl barbaric manner. There has never been a time where an Emir or a King would give asylum to somebody that kills people.”

The Member representing Ekiti South Federal Constituency one, in the House of Representatives, Ojuawo Adeniyi, has tasked the Federal Government to urgently put policy and programmes in place to stop their mass exodus abroad.

The lawmaker observed that professionals and graduates should be motivated to dissuade them from leaving the country in droves for a greener pasture, a move, popularly known as the  ‘Japa Syndrome’.

In a motion of national importance at the green chamber, Ojuawo canvassed the need for policy and programmes to reduce the brain drain in the country.

He said  “The rate at which our professionals and graduates leave the country is worrisome and there is an urgent need to stem the tide.

“It is the right of every citizen to choose where to live or work as enshrined in the constitution, but we must also guard against loosing the best hands to this surge for us to maintain our growth and development as a Nation.

“Our human capital resources daily declines to this scourge in every sector and badly affected is our health and educational sectors where our doctors and lecturers  left most of our hospitals and universities to United Kingdom and United States respectively in their hundreds in the last two years.

“We need to arrest this ugly situation on time before it set us backward. Our human resource capital is an asset to our nation building and development therefore we must prioritize their welfare and motivate them to discouragement of this syndrome called Japa.”

Ojuawo urged  the house to consider his motion as matter urgent of national importance and make a resolution  to Federal government.

“I urge this hallowed  chamber to task the government on introduction of policy and programmes that will discourage our professionals and graduates from seeking for greener pastures abroad.

“Government should see it as a national malady and as a matter of necessity, involves critical stakeholder on incentives to demotivate  this migration because it will have great impact on our  national growth if is left unchecked now.”
