<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Federal
Government has insisted on migration of payment of salaries of lecturers
teaching at federal universities to the Integrated Payroll Personal System,
IPPIS, despite the threat by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to
embark on strike over the issue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-size: 14.0pt;">Speaking to reporters at the
end of the meeting of National Economic Council on Tuesday, the Minister of Finance,
Hajia Zainab Ahmed, said the decision to migrate payment of salaries of
lecturers to IPPIS platform was a presidential directive binding on
all Federal Government’s staff.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><o:p></o:p><br />
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-size: 14.0pt;">According to her,
President Muhammadu Buhari has directed that every staff of government’s
agencies must be on IPPIS.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-size: 14.0pt;">She said that her job was to
comply with the president’s directive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-size: 14.0pt;">“So, that is what I do and we
are going to do that. It is a pity if ASUU carries out this strike because what
ASUU is saying now is that they should be treated differently from other staff
of the government of Nigeria who are also on IPPIS.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-size: 14.0pt;">“We will be engaging ASUU; we
will be discussing with them; but at the end of the day, as far as I am
concerned, my instruction is from the president.’’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-size: 14.0pt;">ASUU had insisted that
migrating payment of salaries of lecturers to the IPPIS, a central platform for
management of salaries of workers of the federal will be a negation of the
constititionally guaranteed autonomy of the universities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Union had therefore vowed
to call its members out on strike if the Federal Government continues with the
implementation of the directive issued by the President during the presentation
of the 2020 budget proposal to the National Assembly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
<span style="background: #EFEFEF;">Addressing journalists in Abuja yesterday, Minister of
Information and Culture Lai Mohammed said the social media at present
constituted real danger to the unity of the country.</span></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
<span style="background: #EFEFEF;">Daily Trust recalls that an attempt during the first tenure
of President Muhammadu Buhari to regulate the social media was rebuffed by many
Nigerians who argued that the same platform had aided Buhari’s election in
2015. Meanwhile, in the midst of the raging debate over fake news and
misinformation through social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram and others, different stakeholders spoken to yesterday gave different
perspectives on the latest move by the government to regulate the cyber space.
“What goes on social media is so ridiculous and we will contain it,”
information minister Lai said.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
<span style="background: #EFEFEF;">He said since the government launched its reform of the
broadcast industry, many Nigerians have reached out to it demanding that it
also looked into sanitising the social media space. “I can assure you that we
are also working on how to inject sanity into the social media space which,
today is totally out of control,” he stated. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: #EFEFEF; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The minister
emphasised that contrary to insinuations, the government had no intention of
muzzling the media or stifling free speech, saying the campaign was against
fake news and hate speech. He said only those engaged in disseminating fake
news or hate speech needed to be worried because they would not be spared. “We
cannot allow fake news and hate speech to become free speech because these
Siamese twins of evil are capable of inflicting untold damage on our democracy
and are threatening our national unity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: #EFEFEF; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">They represent a
clear and imminent danger to our survival as a nation,” Lai said. He assured
that the planned social media regulation would be in line with international
best practices as obtainable in Singapore, the United Kingdom and other
countries. “No responsible government will sit by and allow fake news and hate
speech to dominate its media space because of the capacity of this menace to
exploit our national fault lines to set us against each other and trigger a
national conflagration. That is why we will continue to evolve ways to tackle
fake news and hate speech until we banish both,” he stated.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />

<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Niger
House of Assembly has confirmed all 20 of Gov. Abubakar Bello’s commissioner
nominees barely a week after it screened them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-size: 14.0pt;">The nominees were unanimously
confirmed through a voice vote in plenary on Tuesday following a motion by the
Majority Leader, Musa Nasko.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">President of
the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, on Tuesday gave an assurance that the upper chamber
will accord the Colleges of Education Amendment Bills speedy consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">Lawan gave this assurance
when chairmen of councils of Colleges of Education paid him a courtesy visit at
the National Assembly, Abuja.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><o:p></o:p><br />
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">The chairmen had appealed for
the intervention of the Senate for a speedy passage of the amendment of the
Colleges of Education Act of 1986 and a repeal of enabling law of the National
Commission for Colleges of Education.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">“We are going to give very
expeditious consideration of these two bills,” Lawan said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">“We will work on that. Let me
assure you on behalf of my colleagues that the National Assembly is well
positioned. We are in this together to ensure that the Colleges of Education
perform optimally,” Lawan said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Senate President said the
bills would raise the bar in the quality of teachers produced yearly by
colleges of education across the country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">“The
Colleges of Education deserve the amendments to bring them at par with the
universities and polytechnics,” Lawan added.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">According to him, the
Colleges of Education, as a sub-sector in tertiary education in the country,
occupy a very significant and important position in having to produce teachers
for basic and secondary levels of education.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">Lawan, therefore, assured the
group of the willingness of the National Assembly to ensure that the Colleges
of Education Amendment Bills are passed when re-introduced.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">Reacting on the issue of low
funding for colleges of education across the country, Lawan explained that the
problem was not peculiar to them and added that other sectors were also facing
similar problem of inadequate funding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">He, however, assured them
that the National Assembly is mindful of the needs of the colleges of
education, and will do “everything possible, particularly for the 2020
Appropriation year to get as much revenue as possible to fund the budget.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Let me also take this
opportunity to urge you as chairmen of councils of Colleges of Education to
continue to pursue those policies that will make the colleges more productive
and more functional.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">“We are facing serious
challenges of shortage of qualified teachers. We need our colleges of education
to produce teachers that are qualified.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">“We should work hard to
ensure that the products that come out are those that can help in building the
foundation of our education,” the Senate President added.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">Earlier, the Leader of the
delegation of Chairmen of Councils of Colleges of Education, Alhaji Lawal
Bukar, said the purpose of the visit was to seek the intervention of the
National Assembly on the Colleges of Education amendment bills.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">According to Bukar, the law
regulating colleges of education in Nigeria, which was enacted in 1986,
requires an amendment to address issues such as the age of retirement of the
staff of the colleges of education, the tenure of principal officers, and
tenure of council members.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">“The amendment for Vice
Chancellors of Universities is five years. We demand that provosts should also
be five years instead of four years as it is now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">“The tenure of members of
council in the universities is four years, but that of the colleges of
education is three years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-size: 14.0pt;">“We want a Repeal of the Act
to have the National Commission for Colleges of Education. It is expected to be
a body that will supervise the academic standards of Colleges of Education.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">• CBN lists gains of
closure</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">The Federal Government’s decision to shut the
nation’s land borders against neigbouring countries will remain, despite any
short-term losses, until they ratify Nigeria’s proposed anti-smuggling policy,
according to Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">Emefiele, who held a closed-door meeting with
President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, yesterday, noted
that since the closure, Nigerian rice and poultry farmers had been benefitting
from the development.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">According to him, the farmers have been able to
market all their accumulated produce, which were before now left unsold as a
result of illegal importation and smuggling of the items into the country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .2in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Nigeria is bordered by Niger Republic in
the north and Benin Republic in the west. The two countries are noted as having
several smuggling routes into Nigeria. Their borders into Nigeria were closed
last month.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The closure had earlier raised concerns among Nigerians as the
immediate effect was felt through a general rise in the prices of food items,
leading to a policy-induced pressure on inflation that caused 0.22 per cent
rise to 11.24 per cent in September, against 11.02 per cent in August.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The average prices month-on-month basis, rose by 1.04 per cent in
September, in both food (13.5 per cent) and non-food (8.9 per cent) items,
particularly the prices of bread and cereals, oils and fats, meat, potatoes,
yam and other tubers, fish and vegetables.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Most of these items, if not all, pass through Benin Republic’s
commercial city of Cotonou, with a large portion of them smuggled into Nigeria,
adding no economic value to the nation’s fiscal projections.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Emefiele said the development had negatively affected Nigeria’s
economy, adding that the government was determined to keep the borders closed
until all engagements in connection with the issues were concluded with the
neighbouring countries to have them stop the use of their ports as launch pads
for smuggling items into Nigeria.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">“In November 2015, President Buhari, CBN and some state governors
went to Kebbi State to launch the wet season rice farming. Since then, we have
seen astronomical growth in the number of farmers who have been going into rice
farming and our production has gone up also quite exponentially.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .2in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Also, between 2015 and now, we have seen
an astronomical rise in the number of companies and individuals that are
setting up mills, integrated mills and even small mills in the various areas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">“The CBN and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development have been at the centre of not just encouraging the production of
rice in Nigeria, but also funding these farmers by giving them loans to buy
seedlings, fertilisers or some of the herbicides that they need for their rice
production.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">“We have been embarking on a programme where we are saying if you
are involved in the business of smuggling or dumping of rice in the country, we
close your account in the banking industry. And that is coming very
effectively.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">“So, the benefit of the border closure is that it has helped to
create jobs for our people, it has helped to bring the integrated rice milling
that we have in the country back into business again and they are making money
now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Our rural communities are bubbling because there are activities,
as rice farmers are able to sell their paddy. The poultry business is also
doing well, and also maize farmers who produced maize from which feeds are
produced are also doing business. These are the benefits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .2in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">“We are not saying that the borders should
be closed in perpetuity, but that before they are reopened, there must be
concrete engagements with countries that are involved in using their ports for
bringing in goods that are smuggled into Nigeria,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Also, the bank’s Director of Corporate Communications Department,
Isaac Okorafor, noted that the border closure would strengthen the policy of
diversification, grow domestic industries and boost the nation’s economic
growth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Speaking in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State during the CBN’s
sensitisation programme yesterday, with the theme, “Promoting Financial
Stability and Economic Development”, Okorafor alleged that importers were
sabotaging the Federal Government’s efforts in growing the nation’s economy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Represented by the Assistant Director, Corporate Communications,
Samuel Okogbue, Okorafor urged Nigerians to focus on the growth and development
of the domestic economy by boosting local productions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">“These importers should come and establish here; we cannot
continue to consume other countries’ goods. No country develops by consuming
from others. People should not condemn the government for border closure, it is
for our interest. By producing goods locally, jobs will be created, the value
of the naira will appreciate and the chain effect is that the domestic economy
will become vibrant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">“We have to emulate the Chinese economy. When China began
manufacturing, people referred to their products as fake. Today, China is
leading in the manufacturing of most products in the world. Nigeria can become
another China. What our people are doing in Aba, in Abia State is an
encouraging example,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin: 0in 0in 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">He, therefore, urged Nigerians to fully embrace the policies and
programmes of the bank, which according to him, are geared towards entrenching
both micro and macro-economic stability of the country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Only Babangida Aliyu can call this achievement. </div><div><br></div><div>The current administration of Governor Abubakar Sani Bello paid the firm. </div><div><br></div><div>Let us be very clear also: Ex-gov. Aliyu never secured a loan for Niger state from the Islamic Development Bank. It was not until the coming of Governor Abubakar Sani Bello that advancements were made by Niger State Government to obtain such a loan for the purpose of construction and dualization of the Bida-Minna road. </div><div><br></div><div>It is outrageously ridiculous, even for a "reputable man like Babangida Aliyu, to now claim that he secured such a loan on the verge of leaving office. It is especially insulting to the intelligence of his audience for him to claim that such funds were misappropriated. Anybody with a good sense of judgement should know that the Islamic Development Bank is not like the usual commercial banks that grant loans and permit the receiver to expend the loan at will.</div><div><br></div><div>Former Governor Aliyu counted on the ignorance of his audience. He must have hoped that they did not know that the Islamic Development Bank does not pay monies into the account of governments after they approve loan for a state. The bank deals, and pays directly to contractors; contractors that </div><div> they would select after a rigorous and clear international bidding process have been completed. </div><div><br></div><div>How can any individual invite the current government to account for monies that they cannot even have access to?</div><div><br></div><div>To secure an international loan, states require the approval of the Federal Executive Council and the National Assembly, but such an approval was never granted, nor was it ever sought by the government of Babangida Aliyu led administration, neither did the State House of Assembly or even the Council he chaired ever deliberated on the matter.</div><div><br></div><div>He should also know that a number of reports are required by the IDB before such loan is considered, One of such is the Environmental Impact Assessment, this study was neither commissioned nor carried out by the Muazu Babangida administration. Nor was there a Traffic Census report which is required as justification for the dualisation. And nobody remembered any bidding, not even Babangida Aliyu. How can anyone remember what did not happen. </div><div><br></div><div>His audience should ask him on what terms he secured this loan that is a figment of his imagination. He should explain also how he managed to secure a loan from an international bank without the State House of Assembly being in the know, and without the approval of the Federal Executive Council and National Assembly? </div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps because we are not asking him to explain how his administration misappropriated funds including Teachers Salary Scheme that never came to fruition or the Minna City Center that never rose even after millions went into them. The Ward Development as well as the 10km roads projects that were smokescreens for embezzlement should be a topic of interest to Mr. Former Governor. As well as the 5-Star Hotel that never came to fruition even after the state funded it, and the disappearance of funds withdrawn from government coffers ostensibly for the construction of Minna Stadium, another one taken to dualise Kafin koro road which disappeared into thin air, how he paid himself over N2B as house rent, and viscously pauperised our local government workers where fraudulently fretted away billions of Naira in the form of deductions of 7.5% of their salaries and monies.</div><div><br></div><div>Nigerlites must be mindful of, and disregard some unconscious characters who have failed them, and are now trying to warm their ways into people’s hearts with blatant lies.</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, for the records, the Government of Abubakar Sani Bello, secured the clearance for the loan, paid for Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Report, paid for the Feasibility Report, presented the Traffic Censured Report, got the approval of the Federal Executive Council, got the approval of National Assembly, secured the approval of the State Assembly, and currently, following the approval of National Assembly, the present Governor has written to Federal Ministry of Finance and the Ministry has also written to IDB to validate the loan and IDB has included the project in its 2020 plan.</div>Aliyu Muhammedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00011556281549885337noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883269785437407981.post-35654598118372809802019-10-26T11:55:00.001+01:002019-10-26T11:55:34.495+01:00Impeached Kogi deputy governor “Elder” Simon Achuba forgets juju in Govt house - Photo<div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9PrzPEhPiVhhOsdmMGAf7cGIUDgB148sKtBRkJDCxpSzWzENzkHFJZrFASR4Wdk3ZKzDaLjHWpQYPorVf-tYKxgRl3TqYsH409zg-Stt1EMavYYSODG3_nCTizOigC8v3rX33VAKJgPrC/s1600/IMG-20191026-WA0023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9PrzPEhPiVhhOsdmMGAf7cGIUDgB148sKtBRkJDCxpSzWzENzkHFJZrFASR4Wdk3ZKzDaLjHWpQYPorVf-tYKxgRl3TqYsH409zg-Stt1EMavYYSODG3_nCTizOigC8v3rX33VAKJgPrC/s1600/IMG-20191026-WA0023.jpg" border="0" data-original-width="756" data-original-height="1008" width="240" height="320"></a></div><br></div><div>A fetish item allegedly belonging to the former deputy governor of Kogi state, Elder Simon Achuba, as he hurriedly exited his residence in Government House has surfaced online. </div><div><br></div><div>The picture was released by the new Chief Of Staff to His Excellency Pharm Asuku Jamiu Abdulkareem. </div><a name='more'></a><br><div><br></div><div>"It was discovered when maintenance officers and security personal went to prepare the place to host some visitors for today’s flag off Rally.</div><div><br></div><div>"Achuba has been informed to come pick his item or send someone who can communicate with it to come remove it on his behalf," the CoS said. </div><div><br></div><div>The impeached deputy governor who speaks on the Pulpit at Knowledge of the Truth Church Lokoja.

Shamsudeen Dambazau</div><div><br></div><div>This decision comes after a series of legal battles starting from the omission of his name by INEC before the commencement of the 9th Assembly. In an act to add salt to injury, the matter of the omission became the focus of an Election Petition Tribunal held in Kano against the Honourable, where he lost the petition and the Tribunal ordered INEC to issue a certificate of return to PDP’s candidate.</div><div><br></div><div>Despite the setback, Hon. Shamsudeen appealed against the ruling of the Tribunal at the Appeal Court Kaduna Division and won. The matter was further taken to the Supreme court where it was ruled, again, in his favour, and INEC was ordered to reinstate him as the representative of the Takai/Sumaila constituency.</div><div><br></div><div>However, Suraja Kanawa of the PDP, filed a petition against Shamsudeen alleging incompetence at the national and States Houses of Assembly Election Petition Tribunal in Kano. Today, the Court of Appeal, Kaduna Division not only upheld Shamsudeen’s appeal but it also struck down Suraja Kanawa’s petition in Kawu sumaila V. Suraja kanawa & ors, on the grounds that the tribunal's decision was null and void given that it had no legal jurisdiction to entertain the petition due to Hon Mohammed not being a party in the suit, which further affirms the victory of Hon. Mohammed Shamsudeen Danbazau by the Court.</div><div><br></div><div>It's obvious that the petition has been nothing but the adversary's attempt to derail the exercise of his duty in representing his constituents and we are glad that his legitimacy has come to light. Honorable remains in good spirits and is looking forward to resume his duties. We reached out Sadiq Samaila, his senior legislative aide, for comment who relayed his message, thus "Alhamdulillah, we thank ALLAH SWT for making us victorious and we are thankful to our supporters and our constituents for staying by our side throughout this battle. The court's victory today is not our victory, it's a victory of our great constituents, it's a victory of democracy, and it's a victory of justice. Our goal has always been and will always be discharging our duties in effectively representing our constituents to the best of our ability. We look forward to doing so with full capacity and full dedication and we appreciate and pray for your continued support"</div><div><br></div><div>This statement is a testament to Honorable's patience, courage, and good character. The decision today shows that truth will always prevail despite smears and mudslinging attempts to discredit his legitimacy. We applaud the courts swift and judicious decision in reaching its verdict and we also commend the good people of Takai/Sumaila for believing in him, exercising patience and supporting him during these trying times.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Aliyu Muhammedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00011556281549885337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883269785437407981.post-69036114552907164222019-10-24T20:02:00.000+01:002019-10-24T20:02:25.862+01:00Kano establishes routine immunization coordination centres<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
