Electoral Bill: CNPP Urges Nigerians To Step Up Pressure on Presidency, Gives Reasons For Delayed Assent

Even though there are strong indications that President Muhammadu Buhari could sign the Re-amended Electoral Act on Friday, the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has called on Nigerians to sustain the current pressure on Buhari’s administration to get the President to sign it as transmitted him.

In a statement signed by its Secretary General, Chief Willy Ezugwu, the CNPP said there were two major reasons the All Progressives Congress (APC) led administration is not willing to sign the re-amended Electoral Act.

 “First, the APC Government envisaged that there would be a major uprising if the real reasons Mr. President was advised to withhold assent to the rejected bill were given.

“What we have come to realise, which we disclosed in an earlier press release, was that electronic transmission of election results was the reason the bill was returned to the National Assembly, not about the mode of election at party primaries as we were told.

“Secondly, we have discovered another reason the APC and their allies are now putting pressure on President Buhari not to sign the Electoral Act as re-amended in line with President Buhari’s demands.

“The APC finds clause 84 in the amendment unfavourable to the party. According to Clause 84 of the transmitted bill, “No political appointee at any level shall be a voting delegate or be voted for at the convention or congress of any political party for the purpose of the nomination of candidates for any election”.

“The implication is that all political appointees in President Buhari’s government would no longer be eligible, either as voting delegates or aspirants during the conventions or congresses of their political parties.

“We’re shocked that the APC has always stood against sanity, equity, and anything that would promote a credible electoral process since coming into power, even though the party came to power through electoral reforms by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015.

“The PDP introduced technology into the electoral process that increased the credibility of the election, which paved the way for APC to come to power.

“How come that APC is against Clause 84? Are they going to remain in power forever?

“Even the PDP desired to be in power for as long as 60 years, but in response to the demands of the people, Card Readers and other technological devices were introduced to enhance credibility of elections.

“Unfortunately, APC is an opposition party in some states of the federation. Are they saying that it is fair to have appointees of the governors in the states they are not controlling to be eligible, either as voting delegates or aspirants without first resigning their positions? Why is APC the only political party that is against the Clause?

“In any case, there is no perfect law in the world and that is why amendment provisions are inserted in all laws. “We should stick to doing the right thing and capturing the demands of the electorate who voted for the lawmakers who make the law, not putting the entire country into the straitjacket of a political party for selfish political gains. This will be detrimental to our democracy and inimical to good governance”, the CNPP warned.  

Non-service Of Court Papers: Okorocha Risks Arrest By EFCC

Unless the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, decides to obey Court Oders against them in favour of a former Governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha, according to him, there are fears that two things might happen. The  anti-graft Commission could arrest him, or the trial Judge in a case filed against him by the EFCC could issue a warrant of arrest on him.

The EFCC had filed a 17-count charge against Okorocha and others, before a Federal High Court, Abuja, ironically on January 31, the day he addressed a World Press Conference, and declared interest in succeeding President Muhammadu Buhari in office in 2023.

On February 20, when Okorocha and Co. were arraigned in Court before the Hon. Justice Inyang Ekwo, Okorocha was not present. Of all those charged to Court by the EFCC, he was the only one absent when the case was called up, prompting the Court not to hear the case, and forcing an adjournment.

The Counsel to the EFCC, Cosmas Ugwu,  proffered a reason. He told the Judge that Okorocha has not been served the Court papers because he has been deliberately evading being served. Ugwu said all efforts made to serve him personally has been thwarted by the Security personnel attached to the former Governor who is currently the Senator representing Imo West in the Senate.

Ugwu: “My Lord, the matter would have been for the arraignment of the defendants but the first defendant (Okorocha) is not in Court.

“Effecting service on him has been difficult, but we have served all other defendants.”

Ugwu asked for more time to enable the service of the Court papers on Okorocha, and arraignment was adjourned to March 28, 2022.

Okorocha was charged to court along with Anyim Nyerere Chinenye, Naphtali International Ltd, Perfect Finish Multi Projects Ltd, Consolid Projects Consulting Ltd, Pramif International Limited, and Legend World Concepts Ltd.

They are alleged to have between 2014 and 2016, within the period Okorocha was the Governor of Imo State, conspired  to criminally embezzle public funds belonging to the  Imo State Government, to the tune of N2.9 billion.

But Okorocha claims persecution by the EFCC and the Imo State Government both of which he says are owing him the sums of N500m and eight billion Naira respectively.

He says the EFCC owes him from Court judgments, while the IMSG owes him for Security Votes he claimed not to have taken for the eight years he was in office.

He has, according to him, reported the EFCC to President Muhammadu Buhari, who, he said, assured him he would intervene.

He also said he has a couple of Court orders stopping EFCC from harassing him.

However, there are fears that either the Commission could go after him if he does not show up in Court on the adjourned date, or that the Court could issue a warrant of arrest.

Zamfara Assembly Impeaches Deputy Governor Aliyu Gusau

Mahdi Aliyu Mohammed Gusau

By Gideon Njoku

The Zamfara House of Assembly has, finally, impeached the Deputy Governor of the State, Barrister Mahdi Aliyu Gusau.

Gusau was impeached on Wednesday, February 23, 2022, during Plenary.

This followed the endorsement of the report of a Panel  set up by the Chief Judge of the State,  Justice Kulu Aliyu to investigate the Deputy Governor on a number of allegations heaped on him by the Assembly. The seven-man Panel found him guilty.

The Assembly had accused Gusau of  abuse of office, criminal self-enrichment using public funds, and non discharge of his duties.

Not a few people believe that the allegations were trumped up charges and false.

Trouble started for him when he parted ways with the Governor, Bello Matawalle.

On principles, the Deputy Governor had refused to defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC, from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the Party under which both were sworn into office, after the Supreme Court sacked all the elected candidates of the APC who won the election. The APC-winner of the Governorship election and his Deputy were sacked less than 24 hours to their swearing-in ceremony, and thus, made way for Matawalle and Gusau in 2019.

But in late 2021, Matawalle had, inexplicably, defected to the APC. Since Aliyu-Gusau refused to join him, things have never been the same as he was rendered irrelevant in the affairs of the Government.

He was, finally, sacked from office on Wednesday, even when there is a Court order against that. The PDP is, also, in Court to recover to recover its mandate from Matawalle, given the fact that the Supreme Court had, in 2019, declared that the APC had no candidates.

If the ruling favours the PDP, Aliyu Gusau would automatically become the Governor of the State. But that is a big if

The sacked Deputy Governor is a son of the influential Lt.  General  Mohammed Aliyu Gusau, rtd,  former Chief of Army Staff, former National Security Adviser, and former  Minister of Defence.

Abdulaziz Yari

By Gideon Njoku

The problems of a former Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, which began even before he left office have kept multiplying by the day.

Aside from suddenly losing the party structures of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to a new entrant to the Party, Governor Bello Matawalle, and reduced to irrelevance in the Party,  Yari has now, temporarily, forfeited properties and funds to the Federal Government.

A Federal High Court which sat in Abuja on Wednesday, February 23, ruled that the former Governor forfeits 10 properties scattered within Abuja and a couple of States, as well as funds in a couple of his bank accounts, to the Federal Government.

The Honourable Justice Obiora Egwuatu ruled in an exparte motion filed by the Counsel to the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, Osuobeni Ekoi Akponimisingha.

The Interim forfeiture will last for 60 days, within which time the ICPC would have concluded its investigation.

Justice Obiora, also, asked the ICPC to publcise his order to enable anybody who has any objection to show why, within 14 days, he should not order for a permanent forfeiture of the properties and funds to the FG.

Yari first entered into trouble over the return of Paris Funds to States. At the time, he was the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum.

He was alleged to have deployed part of the funds to personal use, an allegation he vehemently denies.

Fidelity Bank Restates Support for CBN Forex Repatriation Push

Fidelity Bank Plc, a leading Nigerian bank, has reaffirmed its commitment to actively support the Central Bank of Nigeria’s, CBN efforts to achieve its goal of $200 billion in Foreign Exchange repatriation from non-oil exports over the next five years.

The Executive Director, Northern Businesses, Fidelity Bank Plc, Hassan Imam made this known on Monday in Kano at a workshop for exporters and investors on the implementation and opportunities in the new CBN RT200 FX Policy.

Imam stated that the financial institution would not relent in its efforts to bridge the knowledge gap in the non-oil sector space by facilitating the necessary processes and documentation for the new policy, with the goal of increasing FX repatriation through exportation.

The CBN had unveiled the RT200 FX Programme on February 10, 2022, as part of measures to reduce the increasing demand for foreign currency by importers, which frequently puts excessive pressure on the exchange rate.

With the implementation of this policy, the CBN has stated that the supply of foreign currency to commercial banks will cease by the end of 2022, while investors will be able to generate forex through the RT200 FX Program template provided to strengthen commodity exports.

The Regional Bank Head, North West 1, Fidelity Bank Plc, Mannir Ringim re-emphasised the bank’s readiness to support government’s economic imperatives to boost revenue in non-oil sector of the economy.

“As you know Nigeria is currently an import-dependent economy with so much pressure on our currency and the source of revenue as a nation is petrol dollar. So, the initiative of the CBN is to leverage on our non-oil products especially in agriculture like hibiscus flower, cashew nut sesame and many other products for exports.

“Now, Fidelity Bank wants to remain the exporters’ bank of choice not only by providing finance but by helping exporters in bridging the knowledge gap in exporting their commodities. We are committed to this initiative to improve our economy, reduce pressure on local currency and provide an enabling environment to grow the non-oil sector to also create massive job opportunities”, Ringim explained.

Speaking on the need for strategic planning in the non-oil sector, Head of Export and Agric Businesses at Fidelity Bank, Isaiah Ndukwe said the bank is well positioned to advance the CBN policy thrust to reduce our over-dependence on oil revenue in the country.

He stated that the bank is committed to improving the banking system’s competitiveness while focusing on developing exporters’ capability in the fundamentals of local commodity exportation. Isaiah emphasized that the new policy will not only reshape exporters’ mindsets, but will also infuse value addition on their commodities, allowing them to earn more forex.

According to him, the workshop tagged, Harnessing Export Business Opportunities, CBN RT200 FX Programme: current issues, non-oil exports and implications to business; drew inspiration on the policy’s guidelines.

The guidelines involve the provision of a single digit credit facility to exporters, provision of rebates on foreign currency, funding of commodity production and value-addition processes, building terminals and the convening of a biannual summit for the review of the implementation of the policy.

Exporters at the sensitization event expressed satisfaction on the capacity-building initiative as it enabled them to get acquainted with the CBN policy and opportunities in export business.

Fidelity Bank is a full-fledged commercial bank operating in Nigeria with over 6million customers who are serviced across its 250 business offices and digital banking channels.

We Are At Peace With Ondo State Government – Hausa/Fulani Residents

Hausa Leader with Ondo State governor

By Ayodele Oni

The Hausa/Fulani Community in Ondo State has reacted to alleged victimization of some of its members resident in various parts of the State.

The Northerners said a report credited to the Arewa Youths Consultative Forum needed to be corrected to ensure that the public is not driven into unnecessary panic based on the self-serving desires of some people.

A statement signed by the Chairman, Hausa/Fulani community, Alhaji Bala Umaru and Alhaji Bello Garuba, chairman, MACBAN, said attempts were being made to set their people against Government.

“It becomes necessary to respond to this false allegations because elections are around the corner and politicians could use these twisted information to dissuade voting age members among our people from exercising their franchise.

“To begin with, I am a native of Ningi town of Bauchi State, but was born and brought up in Ondo State.

“Having lived here for more than five decades, I can tell categorically that there has never been an Administration as impartial as the current APC one in Ondo State under the leadership of Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN especially as touching the welfare and protection of the rights of the Hausa/Fulani Community in Ondo State.

“It is under this Administration that the Hausa/Fulani Community was given greater recognition and there is no way I will allow the interest of our  people jeopardized.

“Recall that Amotekun Corps was set up to complement the efforts of existing Security Agencies who have been overwhelmed by series of criminal activities especially in the wake of Boko Haram insurgency, Banditry, Kidnapping, Cybercrimes, Ritual Killings and some other criminal activities.

”As a matter of fact, there is an enabling law backing up the establishment of the Corps which I suggest you take time to digest.

“The activities of the Corps have been carried out strictly in line with the enabling law and we have deep business interests here that needs to be protected from criminals especially Cattle Rustlers who want to reap where they did not sow.

“There are two verifiable cases involving the theft of Cows by some people. It was through the assistance of Amotekun Corps that we were able to recover the 16 cows while those involved were prosecuted and jailed by the law court.

“Another case involves the kidnap of Alhaji Musa Wakili, a Fulani man from Supare in Akoko Southwest area of the State by fellow Fulanis who were discovered to be mercenaries hired by some people from Edo State.

“There has been massive movement of young boys from the Northern part of the Country into the Southern part with no specific means of livelihood, carrying arms and dangerous weapons loaded in buses and trailers.

“Recently, as you may be aware, about 22 young boys loaded in a Toyota Hummer Bus from Katsina State were apprehended by Amotekun Corps for unlawful possession of firearms with live ammunition and 500 dangerous weapons hidden in a sack containing tiger nuts.

“These developments have become source of concern to us, the Hausa/ Fulani Community and have been engaging the leadership of Amotekun Corps to ensure innocent persons are not punished.

“As a matter of fact, many of the interrogations are carried out in our presence and that of the Chairman of MACBAN in Ondo State, Alhaji Bello Garuba.”

On the passage of the Anti-Open Grazing Law the group explained that “few of our people especially those involved in cattle rustling have been at the center of the deliberate attempt to tarnish the image of Hausa Fulani people, who have been living in Ondo State for decades thus making us endangered species.

“Since the law was signed, we have participated in settling farmers-herders clashes occasioned by wanton destruction of farm crops, diverting cattle to major roads and highways causing traffic jams and sometimes, accidents as in the case that happened in Ore few months back.

“Despite these infractions from some of our people, I have taken frantic steps in conjunction with the leadership of Miyetti Allah to curb the negative publicity arising from these.”

Uzodinma Lashes Lukman, Ex-DG Progressives Gov’s Forum; Labels Him PDP Mole

Hope Uzodimma

Imo State Governor, Senator  Hope Uzodinma, has lashed out at the former Director General of the Progressives Governor’s Forum, Salihu Mohammed Lukman, labeling him a mole for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, within the APC.

Lukman who inexplicably resigned as the PGF’s DG, had come down badly on some Governors, including Uzodimma, on Monday, saying they were busy struggling to be either the President or Vice President.

Stung by that unfounded allegation, Uzodimma descended on Lukman, calling him a PDP mole in words and deed.

In a statement signed on his behalf by his Media Adviser/Chief Press Secretary, Uzodinma said Lukman was going to be sacked by the PGF because of his embarrassing attitude, before he resigned on his own to save face.

Following is the full text of Governor Uzodinma’s response.

“The former Director General of the Progressives Governor’s Forum (PGF), Salihu Mohammed Lukman, has demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that he is a People’s Democratic Party (PDP) mole in the midst of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“Lukman, who recently hurriedly resigned his appointment as DG of the PGF to avoid a pending sack over unbecoming demeanour has continued to run his mouth in ways that suggest that his sojourn in the midst of progressive politicians in APC was nothing but a design to spy on the Party in the interest of his co-conspirators in the opposition PDP. 

“On Monday, February 21, Lukman was credited by a section of media to have accused some respected APC Leaders, including Governors, of holding the Party captive and working with Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) against the February 26 Convention that has been postponed to March 26.

“Ordinarily, we would have ignored Lukman if he did not have the misfortune of bringing the name of Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State into the picture of his thoughtless and careless statement.

‘Interestingly, perhaps except for His  Excellency Dapo Abiodun, three of them – His Excellency Mai Mala Buni, His Excellency Yahaya Bello and His Excellency Hope Uzodimma – are all aspiring to become Presidential or Vice-Presidential candidates,’ Lukman reportedly said.

“It is obvious that Lukman had been engaged by enemies of democracy to deliberately discredit respected APC Governors and Leaders like Uzodimma just because their selfish political permutations are not working out.

“Even when Governor Uzodimma, barely two weeks ago, came out to distance himself from any Presidential contest, Lukman would deliberately overlook that to make insinuaions that were borne out of hatred for Governor Uzodimma due to the latter’s rising profile in APC and the trust his colleagues have reposed on him because of his many years of experience in politics and sincerity of purpose. 

“One would have thought that Lukman must have learnt his lesson by now given that he is still being haunted by the illogical spirit that led to his near sack in office recently. But how wrong can we possibly be!

“As an aide to the body of Governors, Lukman probably saw himself in the mould of His Excellencies and would not humble himself to take directives from his bosses in the interest of their States in particular and the Country at large.

“He was therefore, in good stead, issuing controversial statements that were not only antagonistic to the leadership of the Party he pretends to be part of but quite anti-thetical to the views of his bosses.

“Few weeks out of office, Lukman is behaving true to type – a mole planted amidst the APC top echelon to spy on them.

“Why would Lukman’s feeling about the postponement of the APC Convention be in sync with the feeling of the opposition politicians and the few APC members known for anti-party activities?

“Regardless of those Governors and CECPC Members Lukman was content discrediting, could it have been possible to move the date of the Convention without the buy-in of the leader of the Party, President Muhammadu Buhari?

“The point is that Lukman deserves our pity. He has lost touch with the current reality in politics and except he retraces his steps by committing whole-heartedly to the supremacy of the Party encapsulated in the power invested in the leadership, it would be difficult for him to deny he is not a mole in APC.”

A Federal High Court sitting in Jos, Plateau State, has sentenced Former Minister of Water Resources, Sarah Ochekpe, to three months imprisonment.

Ochekpe, a Minister under former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s administration was sentenced alongside; Raymond Dabo, a former Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in Plateau State and the Plateau State Coordinator of Jonathan Campaign Organization, Leo-Sunday Jitong.

The three accused persons had been standing trial since 2018 in a case of money laundering and conspiracy brought against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, amounting to over N450 million.

The Anti-Graft agency, Gombe Zonal Command, on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, secured the conviction Ochekpe and the two others.

The trio were convicted and sentenced to six years imprisonment each by Justice H. M. Kurya of the Federal High Court, Jos, Plateau State, on an amended three – count charge bordering on conspiracy and money laundering.

They were alleged to have received the sum of N450million from Fidelity Bank Plc through cash and wire transfer by some oil companies and former Petroleum Resources Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, to influence the outcome of the 2015 presidential election.

Investigation had showed that on 26th March, 2015, the sum of N450million were withdrawn from the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, by Fidelity Bank Plc, Jos main branch and it was handed over to the defendants in cash after they signed for collection.

Though the defendants claimed that they handed over the money to late Senator Gyang Pwajok, the Plateau State PDP Governorship candidate in 2015, they however failed to provide any evidence to support the claim.

The defendants were convicted on count one, bordering on conspiracy to accept cash payment above threshold under the Money Laundering Prohibition Act, 2012 (as amended) and sentenced to three (3) years imprisonment with an option of N2,000,000.00 (Two Million Naira) fine each.

On count two, the defendants were convicted and sentenced to three (3) years imprisonment with an option of N2, 000,000 (Two Million Naira) fine each. The sentences are to run consecutively.

Abba Kyari in Court

By Gideon Njoku

Suspended and embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, has finally lost his bid for bail.

A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted the request of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, to keep him in custody until after the Investigation of his involvement with a Drug cartel.

Ruling on an exparte motion filed by the NDLEA, Justice Zainab Abubakar ordered the NDLEA to detain Kyari and four other police officers, for 14 days in its facility at the first instance pending the end of Investigations against them. Depending on circumstances, it could be extended, some watchers of the Kyari drama say.

Kyari had, on Monday, February 21, approached another Federal High Court presided over by the Hon. Justice Inyang Ekwo, asking for administrative bail from the EFCC. He was denied on the grounds that the Respondents should be aware of his exparte motion.

In the main suit backed by an affidavit, Kyari is asking the NDLEA and the Federal Government to pay him the sum N500m as compensation for allegedly humiliating and disgracing him. He is also asking for a public apology to be published in two National papers. He claims innocence of the allegations against him, insisting he was framed by an NDLEA personnel.

Abba Kyari was arrested on February 14, 2022 and has been in the custody of the NDLEA since then.

He is alleged to be neck-deep in connivance with Drug dealers. He also, allegedly, tried to bribe an NDLEA personnel with the sum of $61,000.

Postponed APC Convention: PDP Asks Party To Register Afresh As A Political Party

The People’s Democratic Party, (PDP), has advised the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), to reapply for fresh registration as a political party with the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) due to its inability to hold its National Convention.

PDP, in a statement on Tuesday, noted that “as a party in Government, unable to conduct a routine National Convention has further explained why all sectors of our national life have been in shambolic state under the incompetent, corrupt, rudderless and overtly confused APC administration.

The statement, signed by PDP’s spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, pointed out that “APC’s postponement of its National Convention again validates PDP’s stance that the APC is not a political party but a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) of strange bed fellows, political buccaneers, and ferocious power mongers on a mission to wreck our Nation.

“The PDP states that the APC which cannot conduct its own internal affairs could not be expected to successfully manage the affairs of a nation like Nigeria.

“The APC is a perfect example of failure both as a party and Government unable to conduct a simple National Convention in two years. It has become a Russian Roulette with unending request for extension of time to undertake a routine statutory political activity.

“Our Party is not surprised that the APC, a party of backstabbers, again postponed its National Convention already scheduled for February 26, 2022.

“It is rather saddening how a set of confused, greedy, deceitful, hard-heartened and self-centered individuals who cannot run a creditable organization foisted themselves in power and plunged our nation into the economic, security and social mess that we face today.

“As a vacuous political contraption without a soul, peopled by political warlords without conscience and operating without rules, the APC is a bunch of inchoate sailors clobbered together for remote personal gain; operating without a Board of Trustees (BoT) and a National Working Committee (NWC); exists in violation of rules while constituting itself to a threat to our national unity and corporate existence as a Nation.

“APC’s postponement of its National Conventions had always been a fallout of the horrible infighting, backbiting and gang war by “political bandits” who are desperate for power and access to our national treasury.

“That explains why their congresses and other activities are always marred by violence, bloodletting and killings.

“Moreover, the APC is not capable of holding a National Convention having become defunct since December 8, 2020 when it dissolved all its States, Zonal and National party structures and set up an illegal contrivance called the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee led by Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State.

“Of course, the activities of the Mai Mala Buni Committee remain invalid and unconstitutional by virtue of Section 183 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) which bars a sitting governor from holding “any other executive office” in any capacity whatsoever while serving as a State Governor.

“The failure of the APC to hold a National Convention is therefore a clear warning to those aspiring for various positions in the 2023 election on its platform to note that with the APC, they are on a journey to nowhere.

“The only way the APC can legitimately participate in the 2023 General Election is to re-apply to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for fresh registration as a political party.

“In any case, Nigerians are hopeful for a better future because the PDP is back and repositioned to Rescue and Rebuild our nation from the stranglehold of the APC in 2023.

“Nigerians are yearning for the return of good governance with the PDP so that they can again be secure, enjoy economic prosperity, infrastructural development, employment, food security and national cohesion which they experienced in the 16 years of the PDP in power.”
