Knocks Over Buhari’s Appointment Gaffe

Buhari and Service Chiefs

By Tosin Olatokunbo

Since he became Nigeria’s President in 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari has not been spared for making controversial appointments. But the extension of the tenure of Mohammed Adamu as the Inspector General of Police, IGP and the nomination of the immediate past service chiefs as non-career ambassadors have even made the situation worse for the president.

“President Muhammadu Buhari has forwarded the names of the immediate past Service Chiefs to the Senate as non-career Ambassadors-Designate,” presidential aide Bashir Ahmad disclosed in a tweet on Thursday

The president also cited the need to allow for enough time to select a new police boss as reason for extending the IGP’s tenure by three months.

The ambassador-designates are retired Defense Chief Abayomi Olonisakin, former Army Chief Tukur Buratai, former Navy Chief Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas and former Air Chief Sadique Abubakar. Their nomination is subject to confirmation by the National Assembly, the president said.

But many Nigerians insist that the appointment is not appropriate considering the antecedents of the former service chiefs as non-performers. By giving them new appointments, the president is saying he’s satisfied with their performance despite contrary views by the general public, the critics say.

According to this school of thought, the five year tenure of the former service chiefs were marred by the rising attacks of Boko Haram insurgents in Nigeria’s North East as well as armed banditry across the northern part of the country.  For instance, the insurgents killed many innocent Nigerians within the period and have stepped up their attacks in many areas compared to when they were appointed in 2016. Considering that four local governments are still under the control of the insurgents, the critics of the administration insist that the former service chiefs failed in their assignment and appointing them to new roles meant they are being compensated for their failures.

Apart from this, it’s widely held that the reason for appointing the service chiefs is to protect them from alleged crimes they committed while in office. Some human rights groups in the country have petitioned the International Criminal Court in The Hague to prosecute Tukur Burutai, for instance, for alleged human rights abuses while he was the Army chief.

The opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP said “It is indeed sacrilegious and a horrible assault on the sensibility of Nigerians that the @OfficialAPCNg government is seeking to use ambassadorial appointments as desperate measure to secure diplomatic immunity for the former commanders and protect them from investigation, arrest and possible prosecution by the @IntlCrimCourt for the atrocities committed against innocent Nigerians under their command

“The @OfficialPDPNig asserts that appointing the former service chiefs as ambassadors would confer diplomatic immunity on them and provide them a route for escape,” the party said on Thursday.

Abubakar Mohammed Adamu - IGP
Adamu Gets Tenure Extension

Godwin Ogboyi, a rights activist says the long arm of the law will catch up with any former military chief that has committed crimes against humanity, no matter the effort by the Buhari’s administration to shield them from prosecution.  “The concept of appointing them is based on the belief that the ambassadors designate have immunity and cannot be prosecuted,” he said.

But other experts say no prima facie case has been established against the former service chiefs. The allegation is an international conspiracy to discredit the former service chiefs despite their patriotic service to the country, according to supporters of the president.

For Adamu whose tenure expired on February 1, the critics of the president insist that he has breached the Police Act which stipulates that all police officers must retire at the age of 60 years or after 35 years in service, depending on the one that comes first. Adamu has served in the Nigerian Police for 35 years after joining the force in 1986.

According to Ebun Olu- Adegboruwa, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN the implication of Buhari’s action is that Nigeria presently does not have Inspector General of Police.

Citing the enabling Police Act the senior lawyer said “When the tenure of a serving IGP expires on the ground of completing the mandatory 35 years of service, he cannot be asked to continue in office beyond his mandatory tenure. An IGP who has served the mandatory years of service ceases to be a member of the Nigeria Police Force from the date of his completion of service. In this case, Mr Adamu ceases to be a member of the NPF from February 2, 2021.

“Under and by virtue of section 215(1)(a) of the Constitution and section 7(3) of the Police Act, 2020, only a SERVING member of the Nigeria Police Force can be appointed as IGP. Mr Adamu having completed his mandatory years of service in February 2, 2021, he cannot be appointed as IGP, from outside the force.

“The President lacks the power to reabsorb a retired police officer back into the NPF through a purported tenure extension, which is not contemplated by law. The President cannot appoint an IGP or extend the tenure of a retired IGP without the advice of the Nigeria Police Council, which in this case has not met to consider, let alone approve such tenure extension.”

On his part, Mike Ozekhome, SAN said the extension was an aberration. He said the president acted in breach of the law.

According to him “the president was wrong to have purportedly extended the tenure of Mr Adamu,” he said. Did he not see what just happened in America that we modeled our democracy after? Before Biden was sworn in on the 20th of January, he had already assembled his entire cabinet.”

He further described the president’s action “A fire-brigade approach and doing the things that are unconstitutional, illegal, unlawful, unconscionable, arbitrary, whimsical and capricious are the present acts of Mr President. The Nigeria police force is in a class of its own, that is sui generis. What do you mean by sui generis? It means that it is in a class of its own that does not go according to other laws, like the civil service rule; just like election petitions are sui generis and governed by electoral acts and electoral rules of procedures, and not by the ordinary service procedural rule that we know in our court,” he said.

“Section 7, sub-section 6 of the Nigeria police act 2020, what does it say? In very emphatic and categorical words, it says that the inspector-general of police shall serve for four years. Has Adamu served for four years? No. Could he therefore continue in office?t Why you go to section 18, sub-section 8 of the same Nigeria police act of 2020, it makes it clear, unambiguously, that the inspector-general of police shall retire from office when he would have served for 35 years, or he has attained the age of 65 years.”

Ex-Service Chiefs: PDP Says Buhari Shielding Them From Arrest |The Source

Service chiefs and Buhari

By Adesina Soyooye

The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of trying to shield the immediate past Service Chiefs from arrest and prosecution by the International Criminal Court, ICC.

The Party was reacting to the unexpected appointment of the immediate past Service Chiefs by President Muhammadu Buhari as Ambassador-nominees.

Their nomination by Buhari, has been greeted by outrage nationwide, with not a few people asking the Senate to reject what they call an insult on Nigerians.

Leading the pack is Dr Junaid Mohammed, former House of Representatives member, who reacted angrily, and  asked the Senate to reject President Buhari’s insult and nepotism in nominating the Ex- Service Chiefs as Ambassadors.

Many Nigerians hold the same view, accusing Buhari of wanting to shield them from arrest and a possible prosecution on the strength of a number of allegations against them against them before the ICC.

The surprise nomination was announced Thursday in a statement by Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, who informed that their names have already been sent to the Senate for confirmation.

The Ex-Service Chiefs are General Abayomi Olonisakin,   Lt. General Tukur Buratai, Vice Admiral Ibok Ibas, and Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, all retired, as well as Air Vice Marshal Mohammed S. Usman, rtd.

They were nominated to be cleared by the Senate as Non-career Ambassadors.

Shocked, the PDP, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, described their nomination as embarrassing, and asked the Senate to stand-up to its duties and reject the nominees. “The PDP charges the Senate to eschew all partisan considerations and stand on the side of the people, particularly, the victims  of atrocious regime of the Ex-Service Chiefs by outright rejecting the demand by President Muhammadu Buhari to confirm them as Ambassadors.

The statement, entitled:

Ambassadorial Nomination:

PDP Rejects Moves To Shield Ex-Service Chiefs From Investigation, reads as follows.

“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) firmly rejects plots by the Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to use the decoy of ambassadorial appointments to shield the immediate past service chiefs from investigation over alleged killing of innocent Nigerians and crimes against humanity under their inglorious watch.

“The PDP charges the Senate to eschew all partisan considerations and stand on the side of the people, particularly the victims of atrocious regime of the ex-service chiefs by outrightly rejecting the demand by President Muhammadu Buhari to confirm them as ambassadors.

“It is indeed sacrilegious and a horrible assault on the sensibility of Nigerians that the APC government is seeking to use ambassadorial appointments as desperate measure to secure diplomatic immunity for the former commanders and protect them from investigation, arrest and possible prosecution by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for the atrocities committed against innocent Nigerians under their command.

“The PDP asserts that appointing the former service chiefs as ambassadors would confer diplomatic immunity on them and provide them a route for escape.

“The party further stated that taking such actions at a time the ICC has declared its readiness to commence full investigation on their alleged involvement in the crime against humanity in our country, appears to further validate the allegations against them.

“Moreover, the frenzy by officials of the Buhari Presidency in mounting pressure on the Senate to confirm such abominable ambassadorial nominations has further raised public apprehensions of a desperate attempt to cover the culpability of some other individuals connected to the APC administration.

“It is shocking that instead of allowing the former service chiefs to answer for the alleged crime against humanity under their command including reported cases of extra-judicial execution, killing of unarmed protesters at Lekki Toll Gate, Lagos, rape, illegal arrest as well as detention and torture of innocent Nigerians, the APC administration is rather plotting their escape.

“The accused service chiefs must not be allowed to use diplomatic immunity to escape investigation and possible prosecution for the killing of unarmed EndSARS protester at Lekki Toll gate and other parts of the country as well as the hundreds of civilians reportedly killed by soldiers in the Zaria massacre.

“This is in addition to series of reported military invasions and mass shooting in communities in Borno, Yobe, Rivers, Abia, Anambra among other states across the six geo-political zones of our country, where soldiers reportedly razed communities and massacred unarmed civilians under the command of the ex-service chiefs.

“Our party therefore calls on Nigerians, across board, to unite in rejecting these ambassadorial nominations for the accused former commanders and demand that President Buhari should immediately withdraw their nominations from the Senate.

“The least that is expected of President Buhari is to direct the former service chiefs to answer for the alleged crimes.”

Apapa Customs Command Gets New Clinic, Refurbished Gym Centre |The Source

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) Apapa Command, on Thursday, opened  a new clinic and a refurbished gym centre.

The clinic and gymnasium were  commissioned by the Zonal Coordinator ‘Zone A’, Assistant Comptroller General (ACG) Kaycee Ekekezie.

Speaking at the event, Ekekezie commended the out-going Area Controller, Apapa Command, Mohammed Abba-Kura for transforming the ambience of the Command which was formerly famous as a jinxed area in Apapa.

The Zonal Coordinator expressed delight at the refurbished gym, stressing that exercise is very important to stay healthy and active.

She equally commended the new clinic developed by Abba-Kura, noting that it is a good initiative to ensure the officers and stakeholders health is prioritized.

“At the Zonal level, I usually get complaints from various Commands but very few came from the Apapa Command throughout the leadership of Abba-Kura. Stakeholders interest and views must be respected because the relationship is like a marriage. Due procedures must be followed to guarantee compliance and boost trade facilitation,” she said.

She assured freight forwarders that as long as they are compliant, their jobs will be facilitated; even as she pledged reports made to the Zonal office on overzealous Customs officers will be treated seriously.

“If the out-going Area Controller isn’t a clean person, you wouldn’t have this level of tidyness. This is what encourages officers to meet and surpass the targets given to the Command last year. Officers should always endeavour to make positive changes everywhere they find themselves. This Command is looking different and it has taken its position as premier port in terms of cleanliness and orderliness,” she opined.

The Zonal Coordinator also assured the freight forwarders that as long as they remain compliant, their jobs will be facilitated; even as she vowed that reports made to the Zonal office on overzealous Customs officers will be treated seriously.

After inspecting the clinic, she stated that blood pressure and blood sugar tests should be done frequently, especially for officers above 50 years.

“80% of the revenue for the Zone comes from Apapa. This structure has been in place since 1998 and it has been abandoned until someone came up to effectively manage the space and refurbish the place. You have a full gym and a new clinic for stakeholders and officers. We are recommending this type of structures in every Area Command in the Zone,” the Zonal boss added.

Abba-Kura, who has just been promoted to an Acting Assistant Comptroller General (ACG), Customs Headquarters, stated that officers of the Command will use the gym to keep fit to enable them stay alert and do their jobs the way they ought to.

He noted that one of the NCS doctors stressed the need to have a new clinic to address some health issues before evacuating sick officers or stakeholders to the main clinic at Warehouse Road, in Apapa.

His words: “We are first in everything. Number one in revenue, anti-smuggling and everything. I’ll call on my successor to maintain this success and make efforts to surpass it.”

“With the congestion in Apapa, there could be emergencies in the Command that may be fatal if such persons are subjected to the traffic situation before getting to the hospital in Warehouse Road, Apapa. We have this clinic to address emergencies before evacuating them to the hospital,” he added.

AREFFN Query Ports & Cargo, Bollore Logistics Over 400 Trapped Containers |The Source

Freight Forwarders

Freight forwarders under the aegies of Association of Registered Freight Forwarders in Nigeria (AREFFN) Kirikiri Lighter Terminal (KLT) stormed  Ports and Cargo, a subsidiary of SIFAX Group, for seizing over 400 containers belonging to members.

The containers have been stored away at Ports and Cargo terminal in Tin Can Island Port for over three months.

The aggrieved freight agents stormed SIFAX headquarters and Bollore Logistics to express their dissatisfaction.

Over 400 containers scheduled for transfer to Bollore Logistics company have been abandoned in Ports and Cargo terminal without genuine reasons as freight agents are subjected to colossal sums as storage charges.

The freight forwarding group had sent several petitions to the terminal operator and the nation’s port economic regulator, Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) before embarking on a peaceful protest Wednesday.

Speaking with newsmen on the issue, the Chairman of KLT Chapter of AREFFN, Mr. Jude Chukwuka, said the exercise was done to correct the anomaly being perpetuated by Ports & Cargo and Bollore Logistics.

However, after meeting with managerial representatives from both companies, he concluded that both organizations weren’t operating in harmony as there were sharp differences in their postulations which should have been averted via proper dialogue.

According to Chukwuka, Ports & Cargo accused Bollore of not bringing barges to take delivery of the containers and scarcely providing low capacity barges to take 15-20 containers when the terminal had over 60 containers for such trip on every occasion.

As a result of this logistics challenge, some KLT destined cargoes have been piling up at Ports & Cargo since November 2020. These boxes have also been stacked up in a way that becomes difficult to access when barges arrive, Ports & Cargo claimed.

Bollore, however, argued that it frequently sends barges to Ports & Cargo but the company is always reluctant to load the containers destined to KLT.

Investigations showed that Bollore already has space constraints at the Kirikiri facility while Ports & Cargo has been dissatisfied with Bollore’s strategy of using small barges which always arrive with empty containers for the terminal’s congested area.

Meanwhile, the General Manager, Corporate Communications at SIFAX Group, Mr. Muyiwa Akande told journalists that the conflict has been resolved as Ports & Cargo assured the aggrieved agents that it would prioritize KLT cargoes as soon as barges arrive.

He, however, couldn’t disclose the extent of waivers to be granted freight agents who have been victims of the logistics constraints since November, last year.

Noting that several consignments have been diverted to Ports & Cargo from other terminals as a result of congestion, the SIFAX spokesman stressed that the affected terminals should iron out a strategy to deliver the cargoes.

Buhari and Service Chiefs

By Ayodele Oni

Former Nigeria’s Service Chiefs, replaced in office last week by President Muhammadu Buhari now have new assignments.

They were on Thursday appointed as non career ambassadors by President Mohammadu Buhari.

Chukwuemeka Ani,  veteran Actor, known for his commitment, zeal, enthusiasm and passion when interpreting his role in Nollywood films has, sadly, been bedridden for months now.

Ani is currently battling severe health conditions, and he is down with “Chronic sore of the Anus and Diabetes.” His condition has drained his resources,  forcing him to resort to soliciting for financial support from Nigerians to continue with medical treatment.

The ailing actor has been at Dr. Lugard Hospital in Owerri, Imo state, since the 7th of December 2020.

The cost of his treatment is put at about N2.8 million, which the actor can’t afford alone at the moment, prompting him to seek help from colleagues and well-meaning Nigerians.

While speaking from his sickbed, Ani said: I’ve been in this hospital since 7th of December, for a major surgery and at the end of the surgery it expanded to a very dangerous one.

“I’m soliciting help from my people, my members, my friends, well wishers, and those that love me so much”.

Ani added that: “The bill is too much, I cannot carry it alone. Your contribution will go a long way to pay for the bill. I’m still taking medication in the hospital.

He noted that some members of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, have come to visit him, and have promised to do something to assist.

He said: “I thank you all, for those who have contributed I thank you, for those who have not, I also thank you. I know I shall join you soon on set to continue to shoot.”

Jonathan: Lamido Labels APC Chieftains Hypocrites |The Source

For months now, former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has been hitting the President Muhammadu Buhari administration from all Cylinders, including his Party, All Progressives Congress, APC.

Lamido, who recently prophesied that the APC will crumble like a pack of cards before the 2023 Elections, has again labeled the Party Chieftains as hypocrites.

Lamido was reacting to speculations that the APC is trying to lure the former President to join its fold and contest for the 2023 Election on the platform of the APC.

For that, he labelled APC Chieftains nursing such ambition as hypocrites.

It was reported that some APC Governors, led by Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, held a secret meeting with the former president in Abuja in November on their proposal for the  former President to join the APC family. However, sources close to Jonathan strongly  deny any such meeting or proposal.

Jonathan, who lost the presidential election to Buhari in 2015, is still qualified to run having  spent one term in office.

Speaking on Arise Television on Wednesday, Lamido wondered why the Governors  are thinking of presenting Jonathan who they had described as “weak and clueless”.

He said: “To me, I think that they are being merely hypocrites.

“They, the APC Governors , are looking for him. Is it because there are no presidential materials in the APC? This is one of the heights of hypocrisy.”

Lamido said Nigeria deserves to have a President  who would represent the whole country without any bias to religion or ethnicity.

The former Governor  said under APC, Nigeria has been divided with hate and riddled with insecurity.

“The years of the APC has brought hatred among Nigerians, a divided Nigeria full of insecurity with a culture of hate. What the APC says in the north is different from what it says in the South. APC is a party of double talk.

“Before the APC, Nigerians were united, but look at what it has done to a once united country. Before the APC, Nigerians were living in brotherly and sisterly lifestyle. Look at the level of insecurity now, look at the hatred in the country.”

He added that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), his party, left a legacy of hope, growth and development.

Breaking: IGP Adamu Gets Extension |The Source

President Muhammadu Buhari has granted a three-month extension, in office, to the Inspector General of Police, IGP Mohammed Adamu.

In doing that, Buhari put a lie to all the speculations and stories about him appointing  an AIG to take over from Adamu,or asking him to hand over to the next in rank to him.

Announcing the extension granted Adamu to State House Correspondents, the Minister for Police Affairs, Muhammadu Dingyadi, said it was to give Mr President time to make an appropriate  choice.

It is not known why it took the President this long, to announce an extension, or why, since a couple of months ago, he did not zero in on Adamu’s successor.

Adamu was billed to retire since February 1, 2020, the day he clocked 35 years in office. But the President’s silence forced him to continue in office as usual.

Speculations were rife that there was a lobby for his extension in office. That has become a reality.

What is not known, yet, is whether the extension was also granted to the DIGs  billed to retire with him on February the 1st. Reports say they had stopped going to the office. It is also not known if the Police Service Commission, PSC, had given  them a letter of retirement or not.

In recent times, Adamu is the only IGP granted an extension. However, President Buhari has a habit of granting extension in office. He did so, for years, to the now replaced Service Chiefs, just as he did to a couple of heads of paramilitary services.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries’ Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee, JMMC has appointed Nigeria’s Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Silva as a special Envoy to hold consultations  with some countries who are yet to comply with OPEC supply adjustment.

Mohammed Sanusi Barkindo, a former Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC is OPEC Secretary General.

The umbrella body for major crude oil producing countries, which include Saudi Arabia and Russia, made the revelation at the 26th Meeting of the JMMC meeting on Wednesday. The organization said monumental strides have been made by members toward attaining full conformity with their voluntary adjustments in output, but added that more needed to be done.

Silva, OPEC said was appointed to hold consultation with members on the need to fully comply with the supply adjustment, noting that progress has been achieved in introducing a greater degree of stability in the oil market since the historic decisions taken in April 2020. “Participating Countries will not rest on their laurels. Sustainable oil market stability necessitates a continual renewal of effort, engagement and responsiveness to factors affecting the market,” the organization said.

OPEC outlined Silva’s major assignment thus “In line with the principles of fairness, transparency and equity that underpin the DoC, the JMMC has mandated the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources of Nigeria, HE Timipre Sylva, to undertake a mission as Special Envoy to the following Participating Countries: Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and South Sudan.

“The purpose of this mission is to hold consultations with the respective leaders of these countries on the DoC market rebalancing efforts. In particular, the Special Envoy will discuss matters pertaining to conformity levels with the voluntary production adjustments and explore how Participating Countries can collectively support and assist each other in achieving full conformity with their supply adjustments.

“Minister Sylva will also discuss with relevant authorities the compensation mechanism in accommodating underperformed volumes as agreed at the June ministerial meetings, and later amended in September 2020.

“Furthermore, this mission will solidify the dialogue channels between Participating Countries, and enhance transparency and information exchange. Given the geographic proximity of these countries, it is a rare opportunity for Ministers and leaders to safely meet in person, following months of virtual conferencing, “ OPEC said.

Lagos State ban Okada and keke on Lagos roads

By Akinwale Kasali

Justice Liman of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, have dashed the hope of Okada  and Tricyclist operators  in the State.

The Judge affirmed the position of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu Government on restricting the use of motorcycles, tricycles as means of transportation within six Local Government Areas and Nine Local Council Development Areas in the State.

Justice Liman delivered the  judgement in Suit No. FHC/L/CS/173/2020 between Olukoya Ogungbeje V Lagos State Government & 7 Others, who had sued the State Government over the ban.

The Attorney General of Lagos State,  Moyosore Onigbanjo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, was in Court on Tuesday,  2nd February, to argue the originating summons which upheld the Executive Order as signed by Governor Sanwo-Olu.

The Court in its judgment assumed jurisdiction in the case on the premise that both the Federal High Court and State High Court exercise concurrent jurisdiction over Fundamental Human Right cases.

The  Judge held that the applicant who admitted being a car owner, and not a motorcycle or tricycle operator, cannot complain of his right in any form being infringed upon.

Justice Liman, dismissed the originating summons of the applicant for lacking merit.

He said the applicant failed to place material facts to support his deposition as well as provide evidence for the alleged death of a person at Iyana Ipaja.

“The restriction of motorcycles, tricycles within 6 Local Government Area and 9 Local Council Development Area in the State is not an infringement on Fundamental Human Rights”, Justice Liman ruled.
