The leader of Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), Alhaji Yerima Shettima has pleaded with the Former Governor of Zamfara State and frontline Senate Presidential aspirant, Senator Abdulaziz Yari to concede the Senate President to the Former Governor of Abia State and Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu

Addressing newsmen in Kaduna on Thursday morning, Shettima hinted that allowing a South Easterner and a Christian to be the Senate President will help to strengthen the unity of the country.

He said the partnership between Senator Yari and Senator Kalu is well accepted in the North and have received silent endorsements across the country.

According to him,” We are happy with the strong partnership between the North and South in Senator Abdulaziz Yari and Senator Orji Uzor Kalu.

“We are aware they are yet to formally announce to Nigerians on who becomes the Senate President and who becomes the deputy.

“We are happy that the two are ready to accept the decisions between the two groups.

“We also know that Yari has an upper hand in the partnership since he has about 42 Senators while Kalu has about 27 senators making the partnership to have 69 Senators in their fold. But we are appealing to Yari to consider the future of the country in this critical time and accept the Deputy Senate President position. There is actually no difference between the Senate President and Deputy Senate President since the two are presiding officers.

“We only think that for religious balancing and for peace and unity of the country, the South East deserves to produce the Senate President. Senator Uzor Kalu is a detribalized Nigerian who has built relationships across all regions. He is very close with President Tinubu and his family. He is close to the North and the South South.

“He would make a good senate president because of his capacity, competence and experience. He is very peaceful and patient and It is only right that Yari consider this appeal and allow Kalu to be the Senate President in their joint ticket. The North will hold him in high esteem and would forever acknowledge his unwavering commitment to unity of the nation.” He said.

An energy expert and former Staff of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company, Engineer ( Dr.) Kailani Muhammad said those kicking against the removal fuel subsidy are either ignorant about the economic advantages or misguided by few selfish individuals.

According to him, the removal of fuel subsidy by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is best decision for Nigeria’s progress and development .

President Tinubu in his inaugural address on Monday did declare an end to the era of subsidy payment, saying the 2023 budget made no provision for fuel subsidy, so further payment was no longer justifiable.

But this didn’t go down well with the labour unions and some Nigerians who felt , the decision is hasty.

Engineer Kailani Muhammad,who is also the National Coordinator of Confederation of All Progressives Congress (APC) support groups
in a reaction to news on the subsidy removal said, it is high time NLC , TUC and other Nigerians face the reality of the pronouncement of the President and decision of the national oil company, NNPCL to support it .

While commending President Tinubu for taking the bold step to remove fuel subsidy and Management of NNPCL’s position to accept it in good faith,he noted that the subsidy era wreaked serious havoc on revenue generation and can’t afford to retain it under this harsh economic conditions.

He However, described as unfortunate the situation where Petroleum Marketers have within 24 hour of the pronouncement hiked prices of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) otherwise known as petrol at the filling stations to over 700 naira per liter .

He further said , “Marketers hoarding: products should know that NNPCL had said no going back on the withdrawal of subsidy.

“NNPCL is doing its best to ensure adequate supply of fuel to douse the problem of panic buying.”

He expressed joy that the Mele Kyari led Management has already taken proactive measure to ensure constant fuel supply to avoid queues at filling stations.

Meanwhile, he asked Nigerians to embrace the decision by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to reposition the oil industry and create a poll for the proceed accrued from sales of PMS to be used for sustainable development.

“The idea of NLC and other labour unions threatening and demanding that the refineries must be working first before withdrawal of subsidy is retrogressive and far from economic reality .” He stressed.

He urged Marketers to do the needful by opening stocks and sell to the public with hope that market forces of supply and demand will determine pump prices of petrol henceforth.

According to him, Good Marketers will capitalise on the advantages and buy and sell at competitive reasonable prices and make more profit on investments.

Eng. Kailani noted that all stakeholders in the oil Sector must come together to fashion away out the crisis.

He However,called on Nigerians to support Tinubu-Shettima led APC government with assurance that Nigerians will enjoy sustainable growth and development across all sectors of the economy.Adding, ” Tinubu has good intentions for the country”.

A group of northern Christian’s youths has called President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to give priority to appointing northern Christians to principals’ positions in his government, siting that it mobilized Christians in the region to vote the President. The group made this call today in a congratulatory message to the President. ‘’It is with great pride that we recall our unwavering support and the efforts made by our organization to mobilize Christians from the Northern region to vote for you’’

It will be recalled that the Northern Christian Youth Professionals among the very few Christians in the region to come out publicly and declare support for Tinubu and his Vice who are both Muslims, the northern Christians especially the APC chieftains led by former Secretary of the Federation Mr. Lawal Babachir and Former Speaker of House Representatives Yakubu Dogara had rejected the ‘’muslim muslim’’ ticket back in July when Vice President Kashim Shettima was picked as Tinubu as the running mate.

The Christians are now asking ‘’ for increased representation and inclusion in decision-making processes. By appointing deserving Northern Christians to important roles such as the Secretary General of the Federation, Security Chiefs, and other principal positions’’, Adding that such appointments will only acknowledge their collective support but also ensure that the diverse voices and perspectives of the northern region are duly represented at the highest levels of governance.

The Press statement from the group also urged the President Tinubu to revitalize the Forest Guards, which promised in his Renewed Hope manifesto will help to monitor, identify, and track down violent and criminal groups in the likes of Boko Haram, Bandits in the forests’e recognize the magnitude of this task and the impact it can have on national security, the revaltilzed Forest Gaurds can recruit and employ one hundred and eighty-five thousand young Nigeria individuals within the first six months in fulfilment of one million jobs promised from the digital economy’’.

The statement signed by the chairman of the group Isaac Abrak says demands that the President revitalize the Forest Guard in his first 6 months of his administration siting his success and that of his vice who both created government agencies that employ youths enmass that curb insecurity when they both governors of Lagos and Borno states respectively.’’Drawing upon your experience as the Governor of Lagos State, where you successfully utilized mass youth employment through the establishment of the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency, and your Vice President Kashim Shettima instrumental role in establishing the Civilian Joint Task Force as a Goernor in Borno State’’ as such NCYP says they have great confidence in Tinubu and Kashim’s. ability to make this ambitious plan a reality within the first 6 months of their administration.

The group further praised the President for announcing the removal of the fuel subsidy, describing it as ‘’audacious’’ and a bold step that demonstrates his commitment to implementing crucial reforms for the betterment of the nation, urging the President to remain steadfast in his resolve and push forward with removing the fuel subsidy, keeping in mind its potential to create a more sustainable and equitable economic environment for all Nigerians.

Engr. Ogbonna Nwaiwu member
Professionals For Good Governance (PFGG) has said a new dawn beckons in the land of hills and valleys as Mr Peter Mbah takes the seat of power in Enugu state.

Nwaiwu in a press statement titled “Cometh The Hour Cometh The Man: A New Dawn Is Here With Peter Mbah In The Driving Seat. – Professionals For Good Governance.” Said the down pour of rain since the night of 28th of may into the early morning of today is a sign that Mbah administration will usher in great moments for the state.

The Full Statement reads;

“With nature speaking out in monumental proportions and the elements pouring out rain in somewhat amazing dimensions, a New Dawn beckons in the land of Hills and Valleys. Enugu the moment and the hour is here, as a New Dawn replete with great promises unfold.”

“Our Team on ground in the capital city of Enugu State, have told us how the heavens have poured out its belly since the night of the 28th of May, 2023, and have continued to do so in a manner never seen in ages. It does appear a befitting close of an era and a wonderful opening of the new. The Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi era like everything consonant with the transience of power comes to an end today, as a new watchman comes in the saddle.”

“We are positive that Barrister Peter Ndubuisi Mbah will hit the ground running. We are confident that he ‘knows the road’. And we are going to be on him to make sure he lives real and true to the promises he made Ndi’Enugu.”

“He has assured us that he will not let Ndi’Enugu down. He says to everyone that this moment and hour calls for folded sleeves and boots, that there is no time to engage in the luxury of officialdom, and that the day to take Enugu State to greater heights is here. We wish him well.”

“We pray that like he assembled an awesome Transition Team of eggheads and professionals, that he diligently goes to work with the best Team of Advisers, Aides and Commissioners he can find. Yes, our nation is replete with excellent minds and thinkers of repute, he must find and engage them.”

“As a Technocrat in Politics he knows that success has no short cuts, he must come to the party with competent, capable and credible hands, he must surpass the feats of his predecessors, and he must deliver on the Olympic promises he has made the people of Enugu State.”

“We wish all the elected public office holders taking the Oath of Office today the best, as we insist that they understand that the raging minimum across the nation today is a call to service not sleaze. A call to sacrifice not selfishness. A call to patriotism not profligacy. A call to dedication to common good not the depletion of our collective patrimony. And a call to effective and effectual inclusion not exclusion. We wish Ndi’Enugu and indeed Nigerians well.”

The Northwest Progressives Forum( NPF) has lampooned ex-Presidential aide Mr. Obono-Obla, for what it described as “reckless outburst and attention-seeking rant” against Senator Abdul’Aziz Yari, a frontline APC contender for the slot of Senate President.

In a media statement signed by the group’s Director of Public Relations, Adamu Isa on Saturday, the group wondered why the ex-presidential aide “who has case of fraud with the ICPC has the guts to call Yari names and even object the APC Senate President’s legitimate struggle for the number-three seat”.

The group, in the statement, recalled that “the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) in late January 2021 arraigned Mr. Obono-Obla, and two others for fraud and certificate forgery.”

The Statement stressed that Obono-Obla, as a former Special Assistant to the President on Prosecution and ex-Chairman of the disbanded Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property (SPIP), “was arraigned by the ICPC and the matter is not yet over”.

The NPF also reacted to the stance of the Forum of National Assembly Legislative Aides from the North West, which reportedly expressed displeasure with the refusal of Yari to back down for Senator Akpabio.

“We were not surprised that the Forum of Legislative Aides of the National Assembly would hold a Press Conference to insinuate that Yari’s backing out of the race was the only way forward just because they have a hidden agenda . Truth is, at the end of the day, only Senators elected under the 10th Senate have the power to choose their leaders from amongst themselves.

“We’re happy to have read and fully support the position of the ruling party as reflected in the full-page interview of the National Chairman of the APC, His Excellency Abdullahi Adamu, in the Daily Trust, when he said ‘ Senators will elect elect their leaders on D-day”, the NPF Director said in the Statement.

A political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has faulted Friday’s decision of the Supreme Court on the double nomination case against the joint ticket of the President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had approached Court to invalidate the joint ticket.

Reacting to the judgement through a statement, Timi Frank said the court that is meant to be the last hope of the citizenry has become a place of the highest bidder, wondering whom Nigerians offended.

According to the activist, one would be tempted to ask if there is hope in the ongoing Election Petition Tribunal? Would we be surprised if the aggrieved parties are at the end of the day described as busy bodies?

He said: “It is a sad day in Nigeria. The court that is meant to be the last hope of the citizenry has become a place of the highest bidder. Who did we offend as a country? Where in the world do you see judges jump into the arena in delivering judgments? Why would you not decide the cases on their merit.

“This rulling has clearly shown that they are partisan. The hope of the country has been dashed by this singular act. Why would our courts decisions be premised on sentiments?

“One thing I will say to our judicial officers today is; many days for the thief but one day for the owner.

“My hope is that, God will one day, rescue Nigeria from the shackles of these justices, whereby they will no longer determine who governs us as we expect that our elections will be manned by men and women of integrity, unlike Prof. Mahmood Yakubu and his cohorts.

“It is a fact that in Nigeria of today, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the rulling party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) will beg people to go to court because they know our courts have been compromised.

“What happened to the days of Justice Niki Tobi, Justice Anthony Aniagolu, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, Justice Tabai and many more? – Who stood against the military and many odds to deliver very sound judgments that were seen to be fair and just.”

While asking Nigerians not to lose hope, Timi Frank, who is the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP), Ambassador to East Africa and Middle East, said Nigerians should not relent and not be defeated in the face of injustice in the country.

“Are Nigerians surprised? I would say No. I only thought, the Supreme Court will take a cue from Kenya to redeem their image as men of integrity.

“In the past few weeks, I have read where the Chief Justice of Nigeria charged the Justices and other judicial officers to be fair and just to all in the delivery of their judgments. As good as this may sound, we would not be deceived with the tomfoolery.
Prof. Mahmood Yakubu said more than that, yet administered the worst election in the history of Nigeria.

“We as a people, reject today’s judgment in it’s entirety as it epitomizes compromise and it’s a show of shame to Nigeria and the entire world.

“It is good to state at this point that our spirit as Nigerias is very high. We shall not relent and we will not be defeated!

“We shall await the outcome of the Election Tribunal.
It is another opportunity to do the right thing in order to be remembered as Justice Niki Tobi, Justice Oputa , Justice Aniogolu and the likes or do the wrong thing and have your names and that of your family destroyed forever.

“Posterity will judge all of us at the end of the day.”

Press Statement.

I have a solemn and urgent duty today. It is to alert you to the danger that you are about throwing away our hard won democracy due to the culture of indiscipline, impunity and insensitivity that you have grown in recent years.

The Issue:

The issue is simple. The Constitution at section 134(2)(b) states that a candidate for the office of President at an election involving two or more candidates is deemed duly elected where the candidate obtains the highest votes at the election and at least 25% of the votes in each of two thirds of all the States and the Federal Capital Territory Abuja. Where no candidate meets this requirement, there should be a second election between the candidate with the highest votes and one out of the remainder who has a majority of the votes in the highest number of States. Where the requirement of spread is still not met, there should be a third election between the two which should be decided on a simple majority of votes. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not obtain the required 25% of the votes in Abuja but insists on being sworn in as President and Commander-in-Chief.

The Threat:
Section 1(2) of the Constitution prohibits anyone or group from taking control of the Government of the Federation or any part thereof contrary to the provisions of the Constitution. It is the responsibility of all Nigerians, including the military to safeguard the Constitution. Section 14(2)(a) of the Constitution expressly declares that the people are the true sovereign and the ultimate authority in the land from whom the Government derives the authority to govern through the Constitution.

The Constitution has therefore authorized each and every Nigerian in whatever position that he finds himself and with whatever means at his disposal to safeguard the Constitution by resisting any would-be impostor from power. The primary allegiance of our soldiers is to the Constitution, which is also the source of their own authority and standing as officers of the nation. They cannot be expected to give allegiance to anyone that is installed President contrary to the Constitution.

The upshot is that if we proceed to install Tinubu President and Commander-in-Chief under the present circumstances, we would be setting democracy up for overthrow. The intervention, ostensibly to restore the authority of the Constitution, and democracy, might mean that this country might not experience democracy again for a long time.

We have the experience of late Earnest Shonekan and the Interim National Government that he headed that was sacked by a Lagos High Court for lack of constitutional foundation for guidance and certainty regarding the point that every High Court in this country is empowered to interpret the Constitution and may therefore sack Tinubu, if installed, with a simple declaration. That would set the stage for extra constitutional actions that would be justified with the excuse of restoring the authority of the Constitution. It would be the death of democracy in the country.

The Solution:
We need to exercise discipline to obey the simple instruction of our Constitution. Section 134(3)(a) and (b) instruct us to proceed to a second election between Tinubu, as the candidate with the highest votes, and one of the other candidates that has the majority of votes in the highest number of States. We should embark on that in earnest.

May 29th 2023 and after:

We are faced with neither the prospect of a vacuum in the office of President nor that of constitutional crises if we put off the planned inauguration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the Constitution expects us to do. His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari GCON, has the authority, nay, the order of the Constitution to remain in office to guard and guide the action while processes for the due emergence of his successor continue until that successor takes the oath of office. If we proceed to install Tinubu unconstitutionally, the Constitution would still continue to regard President Buhari as the President and Commander in Chief. Anything that is done contrary to the Constitution is a nullity. Four years as a tenure under section 135(2)(a) would become an issue only when there is a due successor available to take the oath of office.

We implore the Chief Justice of Nigeria, the President and Commander in Chief, the security chiefs and all other officers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria not to be complicit in the overthrow of the Constitution by lending their support for the installation of Tinubu as President of this country on May 29th or any other day under the present election results.

The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal:

The PEPT as presently engaged has no constitutional basis. It is only when there is a valid declaration of a winner of the election that its jurisdiction can be invoked. The grounds for invoking it under section 134 of the Electoral Act are (1) non-qualification of the winner (b) invalidity of the election, and © failure of the declared winner to obtain majority of the votes. The issue of failure to secure 25% of the votes in two thirds of all the States and the FCT is not one of the conditions. It is left out because it is a constitutional issue that should be resolved before the PEPT is constituted. The Constitution demands a second election at the present time unless any petitioner before the PEPT can satisfy it that he fulfilled the requirements of section 134(2)(b) of the Constitution and should have been declared winner.

Conclusion:
We call on the intentional community not to encourage the overthrow of democracy and the possible institution of anarchy in the Nigeria with their support for the unconstitutional installation of Tinubu as the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria on the 29th of May 2023.

The leadership of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN, North East zone has said that that major challenges affecting the economics development and growth in Nigeria is ineffective and inefficient financial resource management.

The group through its organizing secretary, Amb. Ibrahim Dangata Inuwa, during a press conference which held in Abuja and copy of the text made available to newsmen in Kaduna, hailed Admiral Dr. K. M Bushi following his recent book launch titled; “fundamentals of Nigerian public finance and accounting, stressing that there is no better time for the unveiling of the book than now because of the dwindling revenue Nigeria has been confronted with in the recent time.

According to Inuwa, the book will contribute immensely to the Society and the entire body of knowledge in Nigeria, adding that It is a fact that one of the “major challenges affecting economics development and growth in Nigeria is ineffective and inefficient financial resource management”.

The Youth group also stressed that Nigeria is blessed with abundant mineral resources but there is nothing much to show due to lack of effective management of revenue generated from exploration and exploitation of those resources.

They said, “the leadership of National Youth Council of Nigeria North-East Zone wish to use this medium to felicitate with Admiral Dr. K.M Bushi over the Unveiling of the book titled ‘’Fundamentals of Nigerian Public Finance and Accounting’’. There is no better time for the unveiling of the book than now because of the dwindling revenue Nigeria has been confronted with in the recent time.

“There is no doubt that this book will contribute immensely to scholarly Society and the entire body of knowledge in Nigeria. It is a fact that one of the major challenges affecting economics development and growth in Nigeria is ineffective and inefficient financial resource management.

“Nigeria is blessed with abundant mineral resources but ironically there is nothing much to show due to lack of effective management of revenue generated from exploration and exploitation of those resources.

“We are very much excited with the unveiling of this book because of the timing. Over time, government revenue has drastically dropped down and the only way out is to embrace some of the far reaching recommendations made by Admiral Dr. K.M Bushi in his book titled ‘’Fundamentals of Nigerian Public Finance and Accounting”.

“Admiral Dr. K.M Bushi has distinguished himself in several respects. In the military, he has carved a niche for himself as a disciplined and integrity personified officer. He has conducted himself with dignity and respect.

“He is exemplary, he is an embodiment of Knowledge, he is a scholar per excellence, a role model, a prolific author, a beacon of hope to we the younger generations, a detribalized individual, a benefactor to underprivileged, a compassionate individual, a patriotic Nigeria to the core, a humble man to a fault.

“In short, we are short of words to describe this exceptional gentleman. His contribution to societal development cannot be over quantified. It takes a lot of sacrifice, tenacity of purpose and dedication for him to have put this important idea into a book. Despites his tight schedules as Chief of Naval budget and account, he is able to achieved this meritorious and praiseworthy feat in scholarly society.

“Although, we are not surprise because we are familiar with his antecedents as a goal getter and a resilient individual. We will ever be supremely and immensely proud of him. The entire youth of North east, particularly Taraba State where he hails from will continue to look up to him as a mentor, father and a role model.

“The leadership of National youth council of Nigeria North east zone will continue to identify with admiral Dr. K.M Bushi for a number of reasons. Chiefly amongst the reason is his unconditional beliefs in youth development and empowerment. He is a pacesetter in youth development in Nigeria. We are very much proud of his exemplary contributions to humanity and the body of knowledge especially in public finance in Nigeria.

“In conclusion, we are using this medium to call on high government officials both within and outside the military to emulate the sterling qualities of Admiral K.M Bushi. Government officials must brace up and wake up to their official responsibilities. They must lead by example if we must get it right.

“There is no doubt that admiral K.M Bushi has paid his Due as far as evolution of modern Nigeria is concern. No wonder he has several awards to his credit. We urge governmental officials at all level to live by example and be a role model like admiral Bushi. We appeal to Nigerian government to utilize human resources like Admiral Bushi for the overall benefit of the country.

“Finally, we are using this medium to thank profusely the chief of Naval staff, Admiral A.Z Gambo for his untiring support to Admiral Dr. K.M Bushi. We humbly urge him to sustain the support.We are calling on Nigeria Government at all level to procure this book titled “fundamentals of Nigeria Public Finance and Accounting for all government revenue generating agencies, Tertiary institutions libraries, Directors of finance and accounting and government auditors.

“This is because the core issues considered in the book encompasses budgeting and appropriation, financial recording and accountability, sources of public revenue, public expenditure management and controls, public financial reporting system, Taxation, pension and gratuity, public debt management, auditing and lastly public sector financial reforms in Nigeria”.
