How is it your problem?
Clevite:
Now they realise they need to file more documentary evidence; the documents the didn't know they should have filed from the inception of the case from Tribunal till it was finally determined at the Supreme Court. A case of systematic re-litigating of the case in the guise of review.

Press Release
January 20, 2020

Frank replies Gov. Ikpeazu: You are nothing but APC's mole in PDP

A political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Comrade Timi Frank, has replied the Abia state governor, Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, describing the governor as a mole in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The governor who issued a statement on Sunday attacking the former APC spokeman over his earlier statement that most PDP governors were not committed to the opposition politics in Nigeria.

But responding back to Ikeazu through another statement on Monday, Comrade Frank, said rather than apologise for the misadventure, "the Abia state governor's shallow defence as to why he chose to jet out with the President at the expense of his party’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting buttressed the belief in some quarters that he is indeed an All Progressives Congress (APC) mole even as a PDP governor.

"In Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet, Queen Gertrude said: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks". She did this in reference to the insincere overacting of a character in the play.

"From that day to today, nothing has changed. Insincerity is most obvious in overly dramatic denials. And this is what we see with Okezie Victor Ikpeazu’s response to my candid observation.

"The popular saying that an old woman is always uneasy at the mention of dry bones manifested itself in the reply of the incompetent Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu to my statement I criticised him for hopping off to London with President Muhammadu Buhari in the midst of a serious national and political onslaught against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Imo State.

"Playing the ostrich, Ikpeazu pinned his trip with the President to the UK-Africa Investment Summit on the quest market his proposed Enyimba Economic City Project to foreign investors.

"Does a man go on a jamboree when his house is on fire? That is the question that Ikpeazu should answer rather than play acting in his protests that represent his guilty conscience."

The Bayelsa born activist also cleared the air over the allegagtion made by the governor that he (Frank) was used and dumped by the APC saying: "Let it be known to the indolent Governor that I resigned from the All Progressives Congress and refused to hero-worship General Buhari when the APC derailed and began to pursue anti-people agenda rather than what they promised Nigerians. How can I then be compared to an Ikpeazu, whose sycophantic laugh almost tore his mouth while he was throwing himself at General Buhari, to secure his post gubernatorial future?

"For the records, I stood my grounds while in the APC and I resigned my position as a principled person and not because of any political gain. And since the governor talks about political worth and jobbing, perhaps it is pertinent to expose him at this juncture for who he truly is.

"That Ikpeazu calls himself a national leader of the PDP is self delusional dream. Within the party, he is known for what he is, an unreliable person who would rather jamboree while there is fire at his doorstep. In case he does not know, Ikpeazu is as relevant to the PDP as the “P” in psychology.

"It is most unfortunate that in Ikpeazu's little world and mindset, it is only with the President that he can get attention from. This reflects his lack of initiative, drive and dynamism to push any project to profitability."

Discussing the reason why the governor traveled with the President, Frank emphasize that "projects such as Tinapa in Cross River state and the mechanised farm in Kwara state, sold themselves out to foreign investors on account of well-thought-out and executed marketing strategies which the governors of the states embarked on at the time and not because they carried empty brief cases on presidential trips looking for uninterrupted hours of snitching and mundane political theatrics with the President.

" One wonder the kinds of investors Ikpeazu is looking for in UK when he is one of the worst governor who is not consistent in paying workers salary in his state."

On why the governor is a mole in the PDP, Frank said Ikpeazu was among the PDP governors that gave General Buhari and the APC 25 percent votes in return for 2nd term, "in short, Ikpeazu is a confirmed PDP by the day and APC at night.

"The Abia governor capitulated when he posited in his reply that, 'Much as Governor Ikpeazu is not responsible for Timi’s unguarded spleen, no leader would prefer to attend a party meeting to attending a Summit where his ideas and programs for his people will be beamed at the global stage.'

"If for the sake of argument we yield to this convoluted reasoning of his, is he also saying that that the PDP’s NEC was not worth the attention of his deputy? Clearly he was sending a clear message of disdain to the party to impress his pay masters.

"When I alluded to Ikpeazu as a political hatchet man and mole for the APC, no fact underscores this than the 2015 and 2019 presidential election results in Abia State.

"Can Ikpeazu who regards himself as a PDP national leader explain to Nigerians how General Buhari and the APC scored 13,394 votes against the PDP's 368,303 in the 2015 presidential election - removing from the list of states that the APC had 25 per cent and then clearly explain to Nigerians, how in 2019 presidential elections, the APC and General Buhari scored 85,058 and PDP PDP scored a depleted 219, 698 votes?

"The simple answer to this eye popping revelation is the liability Ikpeazu is to the PDP and the reason he is all cheeks in smile with the President and perhaps while he will continue to be a sacred cow at the Supreme Court.

"May it not be the lot of Abians and the PDP in particular that tax payers money is being blown on the altar of presidential patronage and clandestine investor chase.

"Ikpeazu can catch his fun and be a political undertaker, however, the PDP and Abia people deserve more compassion."

Politics / Re: RUGA To Gulp N2.2bn From The 2019 Budget - Enang by andrezie: 10:54am On Aug 05, 2019
Elchicolo:
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang at the weekend called on states in the southern part of the country to support the implementation of the proposed RUGA cattle settlement programme by making land available.

According to him, N2.258 billion was provided for its implementation in the 2019 budget.

He spoke in Abuja while hosting students of Law School Abuja from Akwa Ibom State.

He explained the word – RUGA is not derived from Hausa or Fulani, but an acronym for Rural Grazing Area (RUGA) initiated in 1956 during the colonial era.

He also assured it was not intended to Islamise, Fulanise or colonise anybody.

He said that the budgetary provision is in volume 1 under the Ministry of Agricultural and Rural development item number ERGP 5208 where the sum of N2.258bn was provided and budgeted for the grazing programme.

He said that National Assembly members are not against the Ruga programme because they are aware of it and has been approving funds for its implementation.

Besides the over N2 billion appropriated for the Ruga, he said that there were also budgeted sum of N300 million for water sanitation, N400 million development for sweet potatoes, 350 million for ginger development amongst several other provisions.

The RUGA policy, he said, is just one component of the budget under the ministry of agriculture.

He added that the objective of the budget for RUGA is to promote cattle breeding and meat production.

The RUGA programme, he said,is an integrated farm system which has schools, good road, tractors and mechanisatiom, agricultural integration with a provision for primary healthcare, vetinery, schools.

Apart from the budgeted sum for RUGA in the 2019 budget, there is another sum provided for the emergency Ruga implementation programme approved in May by the National Economic Council for states that will make land available.

Enang said that since 1999 he has been hosting students of Law School from Akwa Ibom State but this was specifically to enlighten them on the objective of RUGA programme against the ongoing misconceptions.

He asked the law students one after the other what they know about RUGA and each and everyone gave his view on the issue.

Some said they have not known much about the real issue because government was yet to enlighten them on it.

He went on: “RUGA is not a plan to seize land from people neither and it’s not meant to fulanize or colonize anybody.

”The Programme is meant to address the issue of cattle roaming and destruction of farmland which would put an end to the herders/farmers crisis, ” Enang explained.

According to him, people in the south have farm settlements and plantations that can be equated to Ruga.

”The idea of RUGA graduated in 1978 into the Land Use Act which states that a portion of land has to be reserved for grazing to avoid the destruction of farm produce by cattle.

”Over time cattle roamed and destroyed farms hence the introduction of the policy to address the issue, ” he said

He noted that in places like the north, earth dams were constructed to cater for cattle.

He expressed shocks over the inability of some states governors to understand the policy.

One of the first RUGA programmes, he said, is Obudu Cattle Ranch and the Yankari Games Reserve.

Stressing that the Federal Government is not trying to takeover anybody’s land for Ruga , he said that land under the land use act is in the hands of state government.

He faulted the claims by some governors that it was meant to Fulanize people.

He said that the emergency RUGA programme did not involve any state in the South East, South West and the South South because the areas that had the problems were about 10 states mainly North Central, and few states in North West and North East.

Responding to questions from the law students he said in most places wealth is measured by the number of cattle one has.

Senator Enang said that people in the southern part of the country preferred the local cow because it’s more nutritious than the ones brought from the north.

He urged the states in the south to open up their lands for RUGA.

He said those in the habit of abusing their leaders are not well informed on the policy adding that their representatives in the national assembly unanimously passed the budget for RUGA and the ministers from all the states of the federation also approved the RUGA at NEC.

He said that the president is very sensitive to the plight of Nigerian hence the call for the suspension of the RUGA policy.

He also appealed to all Nigerians to stop politicizing the implementation of the ruga policy.

He said that if lawyers understand, the world will understand.

The students appreciated the senator appealing to government to increase its public enlightenment programme to enable the citizens understand better its policies and programmes to avoid rancor.
