Buhari orders Amaechi, Malami, Ngige, others to resign immediately

President Muhammadu Buhari has directed that all members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) running for elective offices submit their letters of resignation on or before Monday the 16th of May, 2022.

The Minister of information and Culture, Lai Mohamed, disclosed this on Wednesday during the Federal Executive Council meeting.

He said that the directive excludes the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo because he is an elected member of the cabinet.

Muhammadu Buhari

The Ministers of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi; State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajuiba; Labour and Productivity, Chris Nigige; Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio and State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva have declared their intent to run for president.

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mallam Abubakar Malami, had also declared interest in a governorship position in his home state of Kebbi.

Meanwhile, Buhari’s order to his appointees to resign came amidst the Appeal Court judgement nullifying an earlier judgement by a Federal High Court sitting in Umuahia, which declared Section ( 84) of the Electoral Act illegal.

Meanwhile, a Northern group under the umbrella of the Coalition of Arewa Forum For Good Governance has endorsed the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, as the only credible candidate to succeed the President Muhammadu Buhari come 2023.

The group also reiterated its position on the allocation of power to the South after Buhari’s eight-year reign.

According to the group, all Northern aspirants, in the interest of fairness, should drop their political ambitions.

“Nigeria is in dire need of a stabilising factor; a true democrat and a visionary leader who has the requisite capacity and experience to consolidate on the achievements of President Buhari, a Northerner,” the group said.

As the race for the 2023 General elections across Nigeria gets into top gear, Frontline aspirant for The Action Democratic Party (ADP), Dr. Sani S. Dawop said he plans to make Plateau a prosperous, Peaceful and Buoyant state, if elected as the Governor for Plateau State, come 2023.

Dr. Dawop disclosed this in an online discussion ‘Meet Your Guber Aspirant’ organized by the prestigious Plateau Bloggers and Online Media Association, PLABOMA.

Dr Dawop said he strongly feels he can restore the past glory of Plateau state because as the Home of Peace and Tourism. as peace has eluded us for about 20years or more and it is now time we restore the peace and also the glory.

He stated that In the absence of peace, there wouldn’t be tourism for any individuals from outside the state or country to visit. While citing an example with a state like Lagos where there is peace leading to the state accommodating. individuals and potential. He noted that such can be achieved by a level of hard work, deliberate effort and dedication. As such every individual should be given an equal opportunity to reclaim that glory that is lost.

While discussing His gubernatorial ambition, Dr Dawop said as a human resource person, he intends to achieve a Plateau desire development, where every individual living in the state will have the opportunity to achieve any level of self-actualization in life.
He hinted at his dream to develop a state that is peaceful and accommodating irrespective of our tribe, religion and creed. He stressed that if elected as Governor come 2023, he will develop a number of programs and activities to focus on regenerating the economy. He added that his mission is to provide a government that touches life positively.

Pointing at his high level of exposure as an added advantage, Dr Dawop said he is bringing the experience he derived over the years with both public and private sectors, internationally, Governmental and non governmental parastatals where plateau can tap into all.

“Some of my experience are 16years of public service experience, 2years in the revenue office at the federal level, 14years as a Federal auditor, 3years of international experience with an international NGO, 2Years will Bill and Melinda Gate’s Foundation, 1year with the United Nation Development Program (UNDP), 8years as private sector Entrepreneur and a Co-Founder of an NGO (International Institute for research and Economic Development), 5years with a blue-chip conglomerate of the Dangote Group where he worked in diverse areas.” Dr. Dawop said.

Dr. Sani Dawop stated that another area to focus on is security and sustainable peace, working as a team to achieve peace in the state. He stated that one of the major areas to review critically regarding security is the operation rainbow. “Being close to Gen. John Temlong who was one of the architects of Plateau Operation Rainbow, I have gained a lot of experience and knowledge in the concept that they had earlier set up”. He said.

He added that as part of his security strategy, he is looking at reviving peace committees in different villages, wards, Local Government and at the state level. The peacebuilding agency established has done some work in that area but will need to be strengthened the agency to do a lot in such area because of you give responsibility to the traditional rulers in particular in various communities and into the governance and security architecture, you will achieve more he said.

Speaking about economic revitalization, he mentioned that he has gained experience with the Dangote group over the years, and he will seek for partnership with the Dangote group so they can bring up a project that will be of benefit to the state as well as individuals such as industrialization, cottage industries.

Dr Dawop went on to assure the citizens of Plateau that he is going to focus on industrialization through the concept of one product for one local government area. He will identify a product that is of competitive advantage in each local government area and then build a cottage industry around that area. He added that his experience as an industrialist in the manufacturing industry has also exposed him to know all the regiments and what it takes to build an industrial based in the community or a state. We will take advantage of that and change the narrative of Plateau from being a Civil Service town to being a commercial and industrial hub when elected” He said.

The forum is also asking the party leadership to address forthwith the use of ad hoc delegates with amendments for the primaries.

The list of those who are members of the forum include the Deputy Governor, Sonnie Tyoden, Professor Dakas Dakas, Mr. Sunday Biggs , Doctor Patrick Dakum and 14 others.

Read Press Text Below:

TEXT OF PRESS CONFERENCE OF 18 PLATEAU APC GOVERNORSHIP

ASPIRANTS BY CHIEF AMOS GIZO CHAIRMAN/CONVENER OF THE

FORUM. HELD ON MONDAY 9TH MAY 2022 AT KALWA HOUSE, JOS.

Gentlemen of the press.

It is my pleasure and a privilege to be amongst you this morning.

– It has made it a necessity for us to address you this morning

considering recent development in our great party the APC

Plateau state chapter.

– It is no longer news that the issue of the moment is the 2023

general elections; most political parties are busy with primaries

to produce party flag bearers to beat the INEC schedules.

– Our party the APC is not left out of there process by preparing

guidelines and schedule of primaries sales of forms for all

elective positions are ongoing and is expected to close by

Tuesday the 10th of May 2023.

– As the processes are going on in the sate the executive

Governor of Plateau State Rt. Hon. Simon Bako Lalong and the

state chairman Hon. Rufus Bature sermonad and enlarged

stake holders meeting at the government house on Monday

18th/4/2022 they admonished all aspirants to speak to

themselves on possible withdrawals and a possibility of coming

up with a consensus candidate.

– This we started immediately after the parley but we as

governorship aspirants were invited by the state chairman Hon.

Rufus Bature at the state secretariat at kalwa on the 25/4/2022

recterated the govern house position and asked us to try to

help the party and ourselves by trying to agree and to come up

with a consensus candidate or at least reduce the number of

governorship aspirants at the end of the meeting the state

chairman gave legitimacy to the Plateau governorship aspirants

forum by appointing Chief Amos Gizo as the chairman convener

of all the over 20 APC governorship aspirants.

– As the ruling party in the state and at the center our desire is to

produce credible, qualified and electable candidates who are

loyal to the party leadership and a person without baggage as

we want to return power beyond the 16 years of PDP.

– We know what it is to be in government and to be outside

government and we don’t want to repeat the mistakes of the

previous leaders who could not install their successors by being

selfish of imposing unpopular candidates.

– The press conference is a collective agreements and position of

about 18 governorship aspirants of APC Plateau state who have

all indicated interests for the number one seat of the state.

– The governor and the leadership of the party in the state all

confirmed that all of us are most qualified that the least

qualified of the APC aspirant is better than the most qualified

of candidates of the other parties.

We are all passionate about the Plateau state project, all interested

in changing the narratives of a new secured, developed Plateau. All

of us have met and spoken and have asked ourselves the question of

how did we come to this decay? Where did we get it wrong?

We all agreed that Plateau is not progressing as the indices of

progress show that we are derailing from the prestigious 3rd position

in the 60s, 70s and 80s amongst the states of the north to 12th, this

means something is fundamentally wrong with successive

administrations of the state that the political will to propel positive

developments by our founding fathers these are what we have

discussed and all willing to change.

The APC governorship aspirants on the Plateau are seasoned experts

in their fields ranging from academic professors, doctors,

administrators, accountants, and financial experts, lawyers,

surveyors etc. All willing to key into the new Plateau project.

The aspirants in our meetings have resolved as follows.

At our maiden meeting, the aspirants resolved as follows:

1. There should be no impositions of any kind and consensus will

be done by the aspirants themselves.

2. We all agreed that any aspirant that becomes the consensus

candidate will be supported by all.

3. We all agreed that whoever emerges will have the blue print of

other aspirants to be embedded into his manifestos and

programs.

4. We all agreed that delegates will emerge by either the

consensus of the aspirants or election must take place at the

various designated wards and local government.

5. That no concurred list will be accepted.

6. The party leadership should ensure strict compliance to the

guidelines of the party for the conduct of the adhoc delegates

and our position has been communicated to the party leadership by

our chairman chief Amos Gizo and the secretary Dr Danyaro serpiya

by our mandate.

This press conference is to let you members of the fourth estate of

the realm know and in turn let the world and particularly the

leadership of our party at the natural level know our position and to

proudly say that for the first time matured men aspiring for the same

position and all put their personal ambitions and interest on time to

chart a course for the collective interest of Plateau and have vowed

that they will come up with a consensus governorship candidate for

APC on the Plateau before the primaries.

This press conference is necessitated by what looked like rumor but

has been evident by the body language of the state governor Rt.

Hon. Simon Bako Lalong with members of the first family (wife and

brothers) his father in-law. Mr Cyril Tsenyil the Accountant general of

the state, Mr Festus Fuanter the deputy national secretary of APC

anchored by the member representating pankshin, kanke and kanam

at the national assembly Rt. Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi to subjugate

the Collective will of the members of APC by imposing a candidate on

members of the party in the person of Dr. Nentawe Yilwada Goshen

which is unacceptable to all of us. We all believe this act of

subverting democracy has the express approval of the governor just

to deny the people’s choice and foist an unpopular candidate that

will cause misfortune to the party as their preferred candidate he has

just disengaged with INEC as Resident Electoral Commissioner and he

is yet to get his membership right with APC and has not totally

disengagement with INEC. Since this matter became open in the

public domain the governor has remained silent over it, this means

silence is consent. He has the authority to caution all the

perpetrators.

Other issues the 18 aspirants would like the party leadership in the

state to address immediately is the use of the former adhoc

delegates with amendments it is totally objected by us and as major

stakeholders of the governorship primary we insist that an election must be held in all the 207 federal ward to come up with the five delegate of which two must be women. The rumor of a concocted

list of adhoc delegate is here by objected by all of us.

We implore the state chairman not to key into this act of derailment

of our much labored efforts that by today the state party leadership

should place list of returning officers for the exercise of tomorrow

where elected delegates will emerge.

While we acknowledge that members of the legacy pressure group

have a right to converse votes for their preferred aspirant but they

do not have the right to usurp the powers of the party in the state or

try acts capable of turning the APC fortune to misfortune.

– The governor should try to own up to his neutrality the party

as empires should maintain their neutrality and limit their

choices during voting as any overt attempt to take sides will

surely erode the confidence reposed on them, any state

executive member who wishes to campaign – The Plateau state APC governorship forum has unanimously

resolved that before the governorship primary we shall present

to the party a consensus candidate who has the quality to win

at the general election against other parties’ candidate.

We have equally resolved that all of us shall join the consensus

candidate in his campaign and we shall contribute financially and

otherwise to the success of APC in the state.

– If the state party leadership allows those bend on subverting

our nascent democracy to thrive it shall put the state chapter

into crisis and we the 18 aspirants have vowed and agreed to

dump the party with our teaming supporters for any party of

our choice.

Thank you all for taking your time out and we trust you will do

justice to the points raised.

Thank you all and God bless.

Long live the federal republic of Nigeria,

Long live APC,

Long live Plateau state and

Long live Plateau state APC governorship aspirants.

The Southern Youth For Sustainable Development Hails Governor Udom saying he has the interest of youths at heart.

The southern youth for sustainable development through its spokesman Edward Emosa commended the Akwa Ibom state Governor for lending his voice in the stalemate between ASUU and the federal government. Emosa said ” so many politicians at this material time are more concerned about getting tickets and winning the primaries but Governor Udom amidst all, has still lent his voice to end the strike that has hampered the growth of Nigerian Students,

we the youths are the major stakeholders in the present political dispensation and our votes will surely decide who will be the next president, and I don’t see how that will be achieved when most of the youths are at home because of our government’s ineptness.

The spokesman further urged youths to support Gov Udom in his quest of being the next president.

He said at this material time, the delegates are responsible for the outcome of the primaries and they should be considerate in their selection, while we await the results of the forthcoming primaries SYDP are pledging their full support for Governor Udom Emmanuel.

Etukudoh is hellbent on destroying my future, staff of FSMLST Jos laments

A Senior Lecturer with the Federal School of Medical Laboratory Science Technology (FSMLST) Jos, Dr. Sunday Bot has alleged the Provost of the School Dr. Sunday Etukudoh was hell bent on destroying his future.

A statement made available to news men in Jos by Dr. Bot stated that he had no choice than to come public and clarify certain issues concerning his personality which he alleged were orchestrated by the Provost that trended in the media two weeks ago.

The statement reads in parts, “My attention has been drawn to media publications obviously orchestrated by the Provost, Federal School of Medical Laboratory Science Technology (FSMLST), Dr. Sunday Etukudoh.

“Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have even contemplated joining issues with the Provost, more so that I am already in court seeking redress on most of the issues. However, I am compelled to respond taking into cognizance the fact that the said publication is spurious, misplaced and malicious aimed at misleading the public”.

“To exhibit his motive, intent and spirit behind the malicious machinations, the Provost raised issues and informed the world of my purported retirement from the School in Public Interest, alleged non recognition of my M. Sc in Medical Laboratory Science and impersonation”.

On the issue of retirement from the School in Public Interest, Bot said the above existed only in the figment of imagination of the Provost as he was not in receipt of any communication to that effect.

“All I know is that when I got fed up with acts of victimization against me by the Provost, I tendered my letter of voluntary resignation on October 06, 2021 containing a month notice which expired on November 05, 2021.

“The said letter was received and acknowledged by both the FSMLST Jos and Federal Ministry of Health Abuja. Consequently, my resignation from the school is with effect from November 05, 2021. However, I was told that there is a dismissal letter addressed to me dated October 05, 2021. If this is true, then the letter is backdated probably after an after-though on reasons best known to the author of the said letter.
“Reason being that if I was actually dismissed on the said date, why received and acknowledged my letter of voluntary resignation without serving me with the purported letter even on the said day I tendered my resignation letter”, he asked rhethorically.

On the issue of being under investigation with one, Joshua Boyi by the ICPC. Bot noted that the Provost once set up and Chaired a kangaroo Committee in which he was the accuser, the prosecutor and the jurist. He said when it was obvious he wouldn’t achieved what he wanted through the Committee, he sent him on suspension.
“I remember vividly we were invited to ICPC office Bauchi immediately I returned to office from the suspension.

“The issue is this; I and others resumed work in the school in 2012, following Advertisment in the Leadership Newspaper of February 14, 2012. But in the course of documentation, the Provost change my appointment letter three different times to achieve his evil plan against me.

“The first appointment letter was reading 2011. The second one was reading February, implying that I was employed even before the Advertisement for vacancy in the Leadership Newspaper of February 14, 2012. The third letter is the one the Provost insisted I must used and it was adopted.

“Taking the above into account, it’s obvious that the Provost has administrative issues or it was probably a deliberate distortion of records for his personal interest.
“It is instructive to bring to your notice that the main reason we were invited to ICPC was on account of monies posted to our bank accounts which were later withdrew and handed over to the Provost cash.

“The committee I earlier talked about of which the Provost chaired exoneroted Boyi because (according to the Provost), he was remorseful while I wasn’t, simply because of stating the truth based on circumstantial evidence on illegal acts perpetrated by the Provost”, he said.

On non recognition of his Master in Med. Laboratory Science from Ambrose Alli University, Dr. Bot said it was the same qualification in question that he presented. It was thoroughly scrutinized during the interview and thereafter, eventually got employed. He added that it was the same qualification that earned him promotion in 2016 by the same Provost and wondered if his employment and promotion in the school were all done in error.

On issue of impersonation, Dr. Bot said he was not willing to talk much on it because according to him, it was a legal issue. According to Bot, “I have never been convicted by any court of competent jurisdiction for impersonation except Etukudoh’s court.

“It is however unfortunate that people constitute themselves unto the law. As said earlier, I have decided to come to public with few explanation for purpose of clarity. However, I am already in court seeking redress on abysmal issues bordering on victimization”, Dr. Bot said.

2023 Guber Discuss: Chief Akuns details his Agenda at Restoring The Dignity of Human life for Plateau Citizens 

2023 Guber Discuss: Chief Akuns details his Agenda at Restoring The Dignity of Human life for Plateau Citizens 

Chief Jonathan Sunday Akuns has said that his sights are set on restoring the dignity of human life by reviving the peace and prosperity of Plateau state come 2023.

Chief Akuns popularly known as ‘The Galadiman Dafo’ who is one of the gubernatorial aspirants in Plateau State under the umbrella of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) disclosed this during an online discussion “Meet Your Guber Aspirant” by the Plateau Bloggers and Online Media Association, PLABOMA.

He stated that one of his Mission is to focus on Rule of law for nation-building where he can optimize the efficiency and effectiveness to safeguard occupational traders, delink and de-escalate violent, crimes. He said as an economist and business-oriented individual, he also sees livestock as an opportunity for the state to key into for commercial purposes. He pointed out that livestock breeding as an occupational trade competes for the utilization of Land with crop farming for certain residents of Plateau.

Chief Akuns also want to focus on security, economic empowerment and education. He stated that the welfare purity of citizens, when we talk in terms of security, one will realize that in Plateau for the past 20years or so, the major source of insecurity and loss of lives and properties seems to emanate from livestock breeding. In other to deal with such is by creating an incentive framework that takes people away from pursuing crime.

He further disclosed that we could choose to replicate poultry farming practices in livestock breeding and hold awareness, and discussions with critical stakeholders to understand the need to domesticate every single species of livestock.

Focusing on security, economic empowerment, and education, he believes that they will sustain the vision of reviving peace and prosperity of the state and once peace and prosperity are revived, the dignity of human life will be restored as well.

Considering the 3 Factors of production Land, Labour and Capital, Chief Akuns elaborated that land doesn’t expand even as the population increases, as Modern production as the exchange of goods and services becomes more sophisticated because of the advancement in science and technology. The tendency is for each corporate trader to seek to optimize production since land is the only resource that needs to be utilized for occupational trade.

By implementing The rule of law, Chief Akuns narrates that when a crime is committed along the path of achieving production or exchange of goods and services, the crime will be apprehended to face justice but the current practice is one in which one law serves all. So it gives room for certain occupational traders to get away with the crime because there is no limiting defining law to engage and prosecute them.
