Nigeria must return to First Republic structure to progress – ARG

The Afenifere Renewal Group, ARG, has called for a return to the First Republic’s regional political structure or the constitution of Nigeria’s six geo-political zones into federating units.

In the First Republic, Nigeria practised a true federalist system with three regions, Western, Eastern, and Northern, as federating units and each being quite semi-autonomous.

The ARG, a Yoruba Socio-cultural pressure group, argued that Nigeria can no longer afford the cost of running the present political structure.

The group made this call in its ‘Nigerian Democratic Governance Report,’ subtitled: ‘Curbing Political Instability and Extravagance.’

It argued that the country is over-governed with 36 states and 774 local governments and 1 Federal Capital Territory and said with the prevailing dire economic situation the country can no longer afford to maintain the alarming cost of government bureaucracy.

The group said the reason for the infrastructure decay in the country is that a huge part of government revenue in all tiers of government is used to service the bureaucracy of government that merely covers 3 per cent of the entire population.

“When budgets of all these government tiers are collated, more than 60 per cent of all public expenditure in Nigeria goes to service these bureaucracies that consist of less than 3 per cent of Nigeria’s population. This high cost of governance is the reason we cannot fund the delivery of critical infrastructure and social programmes. High cost of governance contributes to high cost of doing business, which in turn reduces Nigeria’s competitiveness in the global market.

“Unfortunately, current economic realities show that Nigeria can no longer fund these bureaucracies as some states now owe workers as much as four months’ wages, with no respite in sight. One would not be a Prophet of Doom to say there is a high probability that two-third of states in Nigeria might not be able to pay salaries in 2015. This is another threat to political stability as social vices and malfeasances would increase.”

The group also advocated the devolution of power, and the restructuring of the revenue allocation formula where states are made to control the resources in their domain and percentage contributed to the government at the centre. For instance, it frowned at the where Lagos is not earning derivable funds for the thousands of ships that berth at its coastline yearly.

“When will Lagos and other suffering South-West States have access to derivable funds, be it on import/export duties, corporate taxes, and VATs being carted away therefrom? Arising therefore, as revenue from other regions is not faithfully remitted to the nation’s coffer, can the South-West region pursue means through which a per cent of revenues generated from its area can be kept or taken up as other regions are doing?”

The group, which also did an assessment of governance in the last 15 years, concluded that there are no appreciable differences in the manner the country was governed during military rule and during the 15 years of democratic rule.

Using the World Bank’s Worldwide Governance Indicators from 1996 to 2013, ARG argued that regulatory quality, government effectiveness, rule of law, and corruption have largely remained what it was during military rule and throughout the current democratic dispensation. ...more

INEC says voters whose fingerprints fail to authenticate will be given second chance

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has laid to rest insinuations that its card readers may disenfranchise some voters in the rescheduled 2015 general elections, explaining that those who may have issues with the authentication of their fingerprints by the card readers, will still be allowed to vote if there are enough proofs to show that they are legitimate voters.

This clarification was made yesterday in a statement signed by the Chief Press secretary to the chairman of INEC, Mr. Kayode Idown.  The statement said:

‘’The Commission has come to an agreement with registered political parties on what to do: namely that if a voter’s PVC has been read and it is evident that he/she is the legitimate holder of the card, but the fingerprints cannot be authenticated (or he/she doesn’t have fingers), the Presiding Officer of the voting point will complete an incident form and the voter will be accredited to vote. Party Agents and Observers would be there to witness this,’’ Idowu said.     

This clarification is coming on the heels of renewed calls for INEC to suspend the use of Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs and card readers on the basis that the anti rigging measures adopted by the electoral body may malfunction and ultimately disenfranchise legitimate voters.

Boko Haram: Jonathan visits Nigerian territories recovered from terrorists

President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday visited Mubi in Adamawa State, a town recently recovered from the Boko Haram insurgents.

The president, who arrived the Yola International Airport at about 10:45 a.m. met with the Emir of Mubi, Isa Ahmadu, and some residents who have returned to the town.

The president was accompanied on the visit by all the service chiefs and the Inspector General of Police.

At the palace of the emir, Mr. Jonathan reportedly had a closed door meeting with Mr. Ahmadu and the security chiefs. He also visited Vintim Village, the home town of the Chief of Defence Staff, which had earlier been recovered from the insurgents.

Mr. Jonathan is expected to leave Adamawa for Borno later on Thursday where he is expected to visit Baga, another town recently recovered from the Boko Haram.

The president’s Baga visit comes a day after the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Kenneth Minima, visited troops in Baga where he promised that all the soldiers who partook in the Baga battle would be promoted. 

A top security chief in Borno State, confirmed the president’s expected visit to Baga.

“Of course the President will be going to Baga today but the trip is not being handled by us here,” the source, who sought anonymity as he was not cleared to talk to the media, said.

“I believe it is not something big but just a confidence building visit for the troops,” he added.

Nigeria: Lamido Justifies Decision to Remain in PDP

Abuja — Jigawa State ‎Governor, Suleiman Lamido, declared Tuesday that his refusal to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) along with governors Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso of Kano, Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto State and three other governors was guided by his commitment to fight for the national interest.

Speaking with journalists shortly after a meeting with the National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday, Lamido also denied reports that his meeting with Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State recently was to prepare for his defection to APC.

Kwankwaso had said on Monday that Lamido betrayed the G7 group by refusing to defect to the APC as agreed.

But Lamido in response to Kwankwaso's remark said: "I am a betrayer, confirmed. I betrayed them. I did, yes. I am aligning myself to what he (Kwankwaso) said. I am aligning my answer to what he said. Go and find out from him. I betrayed them in national interest."

On his meeting with Amaechi, Lamido said: "You see, me and Amaechi are very good friends, PDP or no PDP, we are Nigerians how can I go to APC."

Kwankwaso had accused Lamido of betraying the group of five PDP governors who left the party following their disagreement with the party.‎‎

He said: "Everyone knows that Governor Lamido was part of us, he was the leader of the group. He took us to a certain height before choosing otherwise and we were all surprised by his final decision.
"But, if there is anybody who would criticize our exit, it shouldn't be Lamido and the Niger State governor. After all, our judgment would decide the outcome of the general elections.

"However, we know that PDP is no longer the monster it used to be, and I tell you they are ready to do anything to have someone like me who was considered as an irritant back in their fold," Kwankwaso declared.

No plans to dump PDP
Meanwhile, Governor Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu has debunked claims that he planned to dump the PDP for the APC, saying that at the time he led the G-7 group, the objective was to resolve leadership problem in his party and not to leave the party.

A press statement in Minna on Tuesday signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Israel A. Ebije, insisted that at no time did he contemplate dumping his party for APC.

The governor was responding to a report credited to Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano claiming that he was privy to the G-7 decision to decamp to APC.

Although he said he would always respect members of the G-7 for their position against impunity in the party at that trying period, he, however, maintained that the decision to leave PDP for APC was not on the agenda of the group except individual decision of members.

Aliyu however said he has no regrets in leading a group that brought sanity to the PDP at a time the party was passing through difficulties, adding that their effort was indeed nationalistic and a reflection of maturity of Nigerian democracy.

INEC Nigeria: How the Card Reader Can Be Fooled

The card reader has been hailed as the antidote to election rigging in emerging democracies. It has been extensively used in a number of emerging democracies in Africa with positive reports of its contributory role in stemming election rigging.
The card reader, however, has its limitations even as Mr. Kayode Idowu, the chief press secretary to Prof. Attahiru Jega, the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC said in an interview with Vanguard.
Though the card reader cannot be fooled by a PVC, it, however, would fail when all the human components in the polling unit agree to disregard it or conspire against the device.

Jonathan’s Final Push to Capture South-West

LEON USIGBE writes on President Goodluck Jonathan’s trip to Lagos and Oyo states, in continuation of his effort to get the support of the South-West for re-election.

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan, spent several days last week in the South-West, in a renewed offensive to woo the zone in favour of his re-election bid in March. The zone is considered by pundits as the battle front between the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) taking for granted that the others have already been shared between the two parties.

Even though it was not explicitly stated, Jonathan had sought to use the window provided by the election postponement to mop up support, having already campaigned in all the states in the region. He met with key traditional rulers, political and community leaders and even traders, trying to convince them about ..more

Lagos: Non-indigenes call for more protests over non-release of PVCs

IT may not yet be time for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to heave a sigh of relief, as non-indigenes in Lagos State are calling for more protests against what they deem non-release of their permanent voter cards (PVCs) by the INEC.

Though officials of the electoral body tried to calm tensed nerves last week, by declaring that before March 8, several millions more of PVCs would be made available, non-indigenes have said they would leave no stone unturned in ensuring that PVCs were made available to them.

Nigerian Tribune spoke with a cross section of non-indigenes in the state days after protests were led to the INEC state headquarters at Yaba, where a significant number of them were of the opinion that the commission should not be left alone until it did the right thing.

Boko Haram: France to seek UN support for Africa force

France will support a bid by the African Union to win the backing of the United Nations Security Council for its five-nation force fighting the Boko Haram sect, French Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius, said on Sunday.
Fabius spoke on a tour of Chad, Cameroon and Niger, countries that have launched operations against the militants who have killed thousands in a six-year war for an Islamic state in northern Nigeria.
“France’s support for the integrated African reaction force is total. France will support a request of the African Union and other concerned countries for a resolution to be voted by the Security Council,” Reuters quoted Fabius as saying in the Niger capital, Niamey.
The AU authorized the force combining Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Benin last month at a summit in Ethiopia. A Security Council resolution could give it a UN mandate, senior African officials said.
The force was set up in part because of a perception that Nigeria was failing to defeat the militants, who have launched a string of cross border attacks in the Lake Chad area in recent weeks, as well as killing hundreds in Nigeria.
“It is indispensable that Nigeria engages fully in the struggle against Boko Haram. Clearly, the last few actions of the Nigerian government are encouraging,” Fabius told a news conference.
Nigerian forces backed by air strikes seized the northeastern border town of Baga from Boko Haram on Saturday, the military said.
Baga is at Nigeria’s border with Chad, Niger and Cameroon and was the headquarters of a multinational force comprising troops from all four countries. Its recapture was an important victory, one of several in the past two weeks.

Calling for Interim Govt is treasonable, says Jonathan
