The quest for a proper and fit Nigerian to take over the affairs of Nigeria after President Muhammadu Buhari is taking an interesting dimension everyday.

Nigerians are spoiling to take that decision out of the hands of regular politicians. They want to have a say.

Aside from the unprecedented interest taken by Nigerian youths, other individuals have also thrown their hats into the ring to make a difference.

An Awka Anambra State  based Law Firm, Antonio Lex Firma, has added another twist to it. It has introduced a policy in its monthly salary payment to staff.

Any staff without a PVC is not entitled to his/her salary.  The instruction is: No PVC, no Salary.

The Principal Partner of the Law  Firm, A.K. Agbasiere, is serious, and does not care what anybody thinks. He says the firm is his, and he has the powers to hire and fire.

To make it easier for staff, and just so none of them gives an excuse, he has given them two days of no work.

In an internal memo signed by the Secretary to the Firm,  Nkechi Duru, he gave them June 9 and June 10 as work free days to enable them get their PVCs.

The memo reads:

“I am directed by the Principal Partner of Antonio Lex Firma Barr.A.K Agbasiere (KSJI) to inform all the Staff of the firm and the domestic Staff that 9th and 10th of June, 2022 will be Work Free (sic) day,”

“This is to enable all the staff to go and register and get their PVC. Consequently, anyone without PVC will henceforth not receive Salary.”

By his action, Agbasiere does not think he has violated anybody’s right   He defends, in an interview with the Gazette:

“I have the right to hire and fire because it is my law firm

You are obligated to perform the civic duty, otherwise you show yourself as unpatriotic and irresponsible and it can be a ground for administrative punishment.”

Peter Obi Receives Certificate of Return

By Uche Mbah

The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Gregory Obi, has received his Certificate of Return from the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for the 2023 Presidential Election.

This has put paid to the speculation that there are two Presidential candidates for the party.

The Certificate of Return was handed over to Obi on Friday by the Electoral umpire.

This is part of a tweet posted to the party’s Twitter page, @NgLabour,  Thursday.

“Mr. Peter Obi Receives Labour Party Certificate of Returns as its Presidential Candidate for 2023 presidential elections. Congratulations!!”

The party had earlier tweeted the arrival of Obi at its National Office, Abuja, for the collection of the certificate of return.

“Dr. Peter Obi arrives Labour Party National Office Abuja to receive his Presidential Certificate of Returns as Labour Party Presidential Candidate. Stay tuned..”the party said.

Obi shocked not a few people when he decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP  to the Labour Party. Since then, tha almost dead LP has come alive, and Nigerian youths especially, in their millions are not only yearning for Obi, they are mobilising for him.

2023: Tinubu Will Give Atiku The “Tofa Treatment” In Adamawa – Babachir Lawal

Babachir Lawal

By Adesina Soyooye

If the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, is to be believed, a repeat of the June 12, 1993 Presidential election result awaits the Peoples Democratic Party’s Candidate, Atiku Abubakar in the upcoming Presidential election in 2023. Lawal is sure that Atiku will get the Bashir Tofa treatment.

In 1993, Tofa, the Presidential candidate of the   National Party of Nigeria, NPN, was beaten in his own Kano State by Chief MKO Abiola of the Social Democratic Party, SDP. It was an unprecedented defeat.

Speaking in an interview with Channels Television, Lawal said the same treatment awaits Atiku in his home State, Adamawa. He said Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, from Lagos, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, will defeat Atiku in Adamawa.

Both Lawal and Atiku hail from Adamawa State. The State is a PDP State.

Insisting Atiku is, politically, no match for Tinubu, Lawal said Atiku had lost the State as a Presidential candidate to former President Goodluck Jonathan and the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari.

Lawal: “We are there, and we are the ones from Adamawa who will deliver Bola Tinubu in the same way that we delivered Buhari while Atiku was contesting; in the same way, Adamawa delivered Goodluck Jonathan while Atiku was contesting, so it is not a new thing.

“We have our tentacles all over the state; it is our state, and we know our tendencies. Bola Tinubu will win Adamawa state.

“Whether he makes it or not, only God knows, but we will work towards it and we believe that we have the instruments, we have the resources – both material and intellectual – to deliver Bola Tinubu as the President.

“Tinubu is a very good man. He is a very kind man, and you need to hear from some of the people he has helped, so many all over the country.

“He has sponsored people in Taraba, in Adamawa, in Gombe; he is somebody that has been helpful to almost every politician across the country.”

Lawal is a staunch Tinubu loyalist and supporter. He was one of those who personally went to purchase  Tinubu’s Presidential Expression of Interest and Nomination forms. He was also, personally, present to submit the completed forms.

However, last week, he had dismissed Tinubu’s claims of installing President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 as “bullshit”, adding that such bragging make it difficult to trust the Yoruba in politics.

In the same Channels interview, Lawal also warned Tinubu against a Muslim-Muslim ticket, saying it is a recipe for failure as Christian Northerners will never vote for such ticket.

Lawal is a Christian, but said he is not interested in being Tinubu’s running mate.

For the records, he has not been offered.

FIRS Goes After Companies, Individuals In Renewed Tax Drive

Starting from next month the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS the agency responsible for collecting tax for the federal government says it will embark on a major tax drive to collect tax arrears from individuals and companies owing the federal government.

In January, Johannes Oluwatobi Wojuola, the special assistant on media and communication to the chairman of FIRS, Mamman Nami said the agency collected N6.4 trillion in the year ending December 2021.

He said, “The FIRS, in the year 2021 collected a total of N6.405 trillion in both oil (N2.008 trillion) and non-oil (N4.396 trillion) revenues as against a target of N6.401 trillion,” Nami said.

”Companies Income Tax amounted to N1.896 trillion; Petroleum Profits Tax amounted to N2 trillion; Value Added Tax amounted to N2.07 trillion; Electronic Money Transfer Levy amounted to N114 billion; Earmarked Taxes amounted to N208.8 billion; among others.

“Non-oil sector contributed 69 percent of the total collection in the year, while oil sector’s contribution was 31 percent of the total collection.

“The Service issued certificates for the sum of N147.8 billion tax credit to private investors and NNPC for road infrastructure under the Road Infrastructure Development Refurbishment Investment Tax Credit Scheme created by Executive Order No. 007 of 2019.”

Within the same year, the agency said close to N18 billion are owed by companies transacting business in the country through tax evasion.

The belief is that more revenue could still be collected to fund the government budget if the tax net is expanded to bring in more Nigerians and businesses who are eligible to pay tax.

The prevailing situation, the FIRS said is no longer palatable, and is now poised to embark on a nationwide Value Added Tax, VAT and Withholding Tax, WHT compliance exercise from July, 2022.

This information is contained in a public notice announcing the compliance monitoring exercise, and signed by the FIRS Executive Chairman, Muhammad Nami.

The exercise is also coming on the heels of an earlier notice by the Service to commence the enforcement and recovery of unremitted tax deductions owed the Federation by some States and Local Governments.

The agency said, the VAT and Withholding Tax Compliance Monitoring exercise will involve teams of FIRS officers visiting selected taxpayers and taxable persons to review their VAT and Withholding Tax records.

FIRS said in the Notice that, “The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) shall embark on a nationwide VAT and WHT compliance monitoring exercise with effect from July 1, 2022.

“As a result, teams of officers from the Service shall visit selected taxpayers, taxable persons (including companies, NGOs or MDAs) to review their VAT and WHT records.

“All taxable persons or tax agents who have made deductions of VAT or WHT on behalf of the Service are required to immediately remit all such deductions to the FIRS within two weeks of this publication.

The exercise will cover 2016 to 2020 accounting years for taxable persons whose records have been audited by the Service up to 2015 accounting year, the agency said.

Leaders of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, in the South-west, has promised to deliver over 90 per cent of votes in the region for the Presidential flag bearer of the party, to Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu won  the nomination as APC’s flagbearer on Tuesday, June 7.

The promise to deliver Tinubu comes as the party searches for an appropriate running mate for the candidate.

Only Oyo state is under the control of the opposition PDP out of the six states in the region. The other five, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti and Osun are controlled by APC.

The APC leaders spoke in the face of  congratulatory from messages across the country for the former Governor of Lagos state and APC National Leader.

President Muhammadu Buhari while congratulating Tinubu said the former Governor of Lagos state is capable of succeeding him.

Tinubu scored 1271 votes during the party’s Special National Convention, on Tuesday to defeat his closest rivals in the race, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, former Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi and Senate President Ahmad Lawan to clinch APC presidential ticket.

Since Tinubu’s emergence as the torch bearer in the keenly contested primary election, the party leadership has been strategizing on how to win the 2023 presidential election.

As part of these strategies, Tinubu has met major stakeholders in the party such as President Mahammadu Buhari, Osinbajo, National Working Committee members, and APC Governors with the aim of uniting the party.

In their congratulatory message to Tinubu, the South West APC leaders said it has swung into action immediately to ensure that the party emerge winner in the 2023 Presidential election.

The Party Chairman in the zone, Isaa Kekemeke, disclosed  in a statement on Friday, and ass that the party will bring needed transformation to the country if it wins the presidential election.

Kekemake said Tinubu has the requisite experience to transform the country.

The statement reads:

“Without doubt, your election demonstrated an overwhelming support from Nigerians across the geo-political zones which was a clear indication that Nigerians want you as their next president.

“The APC in the South-West stands by you in every step you take in the journey to the Presidency, and we like to assure you that we will deliver the votes of the South-West in not less than 90 per cent of total registered voters in the region.

“We are one with our governors, National Assembly members, State Assembly members, local governments and indeed all leaders and members of our great party within the South-West region at this movement.

“We send you our hearty congratulations, and we pray that this will be the beginning of a turnaround for Nigeria in terms of security, economic development, infrastructural upgrading, agric development and housing for the entire population of Nigeria.

“We appeal to all Nigerians to stand up and be counted in this noble movement to build on the legacies of President Muhammadu Buhari which will put Nigeria in its proper place in the comity of great nations.”

Meanwhile, Tinubu has assured his party that the issue of his running mate will be decided soon. It’s my ‘pocketbook’, Tinubu said after visiting President Buhari in Aso Rock on Thursday.

Since he became the APC presidential flagbearer, who becomes his running mate has been one of the thorny issues in the party as apprehension continue to loom that he’s likely to pick a Muslim running mate.

Even though the magazine learnt that the presidential hopeful is likely to choose one of the APC governors as running mate, it was also learnt on Friday that the Abdullahi Adamu-led National Working Committee, NWC has decided to keep all options open in deciding an appropriate running mare for Tinubu.

Owo Arrest Rumour

By Ayodele Oni

The news making the round that the terrorists who carried out the massacre at St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo on Sunday have been arrested is unfounded.

The rumour filtered in just as the National Security Council, on Thursday, revealed that the Islamic State, West African Province masterminded the deadly attack on St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo, Ondo State that left over 40 people dead on Sunday, June 5, 2022.

The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, disclosed this to State House correspondents, shortly after the over three-hour council meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Council Chambers in Abuja.

Ondo state Governor, Mr Oluwarotimi Akeredoku has however advised the security council not to hurriedly jump into conclusion about those responsible for the attack.

Investigations revealed that residents in hundreds from nooks and crannies of Owo town besieged the palace of Olowo, Oba Ajibade Ogunoye, to confirm the news of the purported arrest of the suspects.

The news of the rumoured arrest filtered in,  residents who have been mourning the death of their loved ones to the heinous crime besieged the palace to catch a glimpse of bandits at the palace.

Addressing the crowd in Owo dialect, Oba Ogunoye pleaded with them to remain calm, saying he heard the same unconfirmed news just like the residents.

Police Public Relations, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami in her reaction simply said“Am not aware.”

A source within the Palace of Olowo however told our correspondent the information was only a rumour as there was nothing as such.

“it was only a rumour.The youths besieged the palace in their thousands when the rumour broke out, but it was discovered to be false alarm.

“Kabiyesi was only trying to hail their doggedness as he told them that, ‘I Heard the rumour  like you too and they should be patience to authenticate it.’

It was later discovered that it was only some Fulani/Hausa guys arrested along Owo/Benin boundary in possession of dangerous weapon.

Goodluck Jonathan

Former President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has congratulated Presidential election flag bearers of various political parties, particularly Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples democratic Party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the All peoples Congress, Peter Obi of the Labour Party  as well as others for the emergence at the conclusion of party primaries, urging them to run a campaign devoid of rancor and divisiveness and utilize the opportunity to promote peace and unity.

 

Jonathan commended the candidates for their interest in leading the country which he described as  a demonstration of their commitment and belief in the progress of the nation.

Noting that  Nigeria is at a critical junction in its march to nationhood as it grapples with security and economic challenges, Dr. Jonathan stated that the 2023 elections present an opportunity to renew the dreams of our founding fathers and revitalise our economy.

He, however, charged the candidates to, in their campaigns, eschew violence and acts that could encourage any form of bloodletting or exacerbate the national fault lines, noting that it is the responsibility of all political leaders to strive to de-escalate the tension in the country.

He also reminded the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the security agencies of their responsibilities, stressing that the importance of the 2023 election imposes on them a historic burden to continue the process of deepening the reforms of our electoral system.

He stated;“A transparent election will go a long way to increase the confidence of Nigerians in our democracy and restore trust in our public institutions.”

Below is the full text of Dr. Jonathan’s statement:

“I congratulate the winners of the various primaries across the political spectrum, particularly Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu who has won the presidential primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and  the flag bearers of other parties that have also concluded their primaries.

“They include Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Malik Ado-Ibrahim, Young Progressives Party (YPP), Chief Dan Nwanyanwu, Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Dumebi Kachikwu, African Democratic Congress (ADC) as well as Adewole Adebayo of the Social Democratic Party (SDP.

“Your emergence as the flagbearers of your parties after submitting yourselves to rigorous selection and election processes demonstrates your belief and interest in the progress of our nation.

“I consider you are all aspiring to be elected as the leader of the country because you are democrats who believe, like the rest of us, that Nigeria is our common heritage which we should all strive to protect, prosper and preserve for the future generation.

“As you progress towards the electioneering campaigns, it is important that the issues confronting the country and credible solutions take centre stage.

“I urge you to conduct your campaigns in a manner devoid of acrimony, divisiveness and treachery so that at the end of the day Nigeria will win, democracy will triumph and humanity will be better for it.

“As I have always said, no ambition is worth the life of another. As candidates, you must eschew violence and acts that will encourage any form of bloodletting or exacerbate the national fault lines. We live in a season of unprecedented violence and all political leaders have a responsibility to de-escalate the tension in the country.

The candidates by conduct and language must prioritise non-violence and peaceful coexistence.

“I also salute the sportsmanship displayed by other aspirants who have continued to lend their weight to the democratic process, despite the fact that they did not emerge victorious in their various party primaries.

“I urge all stakeholders to place national interest above personal interest. We must commit to upholding virtues that will sustain  our democracy and advance the cause of good governance, peace and sustainable development.

“Nigeria is at a critical junction in its march to nationhood as it grapples with security and economic challenges. The 2023 elections present an opportunity to renew our union, rebuild the dreams of our founding fathers and revitalise our economy.

“The importance of this election imposes on the election managers and security agencies a historic burden to continue deepening the reforms of our electoral system. A transparent election will go a long way to increase the confidence of Nigerians in our democracy and restore trust in our public institutions.

“We can attain our national aspirations of unity, peace, and progress through the instrumentality of a functional and effective democracy.

“I urge all leaders, especially politicians, to prioritize the peace and stability of our nation as we commence the activities of the 2023 elections.

“To the good citizens of our beloved country, particularly the youth, I charge you all to make honest and patriotic choices that will guarantee us the hope that we desire for ourselves and our nation.”
