Politics / Senate Probes Social Intervention Fund, Sure-p by kingsman66(m): 8:42pm On Nov 07, 2018 |
The Senate on Wedesday resolved to investigate
alleged misuse of the social intervention
progrmme fund.
The upper chamber also agreed to probe how
funds allocated to fund the Subsidy Re-
investment Programme were used.
The resolution followed the adoption of a motion
by the minority leader, Senator Biodun Olujimi on
alleged deployment of funds under the social
intervention programme to buy Permanent Voters
Cards (PVC) to promote President Muhammadu
Buhari’s presidential election.
Olujimi who displayed copies of signed forms
used by an alleged beneficiary of the intervention
fund, claimed that beneficiaries are made to
attach their PVCs before they could benefit from
the fund.
She noted that it was unfortunate that the social
intervention fund created for the benefit of every
Nigerian, was allegedly being manipulated to buy
PVC for President Buhari’s re-election bid.
Olujimi who came under Order 42 (personal
explanation) prayed the Senate to investigate the
matter as a matter of urgency.
She said that the upper chamber should insist
that the social intervention fund must not be
used for political purposes.
Senate Leader, Senator Ahmed Lawan, described
the allegation as completely unfounded.
As Lawan made to disabuse the minds of his
colleagues about any untoward use the fund, the
Senate erupted with shouts of point of order.
Attempts by Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to
control the situation failed for some moment.
Saraki gave Senator Dino Melaye the floor to
move his point of order.
The Kogi West senator said that Olujimi’s motion
should first be seconded before contributions
would be made.
The house was divided along party lines. Lawan
requested for protection and to be allowed to
make his points.
Saraki said that Lawn should be allowed to
speak.
Lawan said, “I listened attentively to the motion
by Senator Olujimi.
‘I want to say that the social intervention
programme of this administration transparent.”
He noted that “for the first time in the history of
social intervention programme in Nigeria we have
proof that any where you are in Nigeria, you can
apply.”
The shout of point of order continued.
Senator Albert Akpan (Akwa Ibom North East)
took the floor to raise Orders 49 and 52.
Akpan re-iterated Melaye’s position that Saraki
should first allow Olujimi’s motion to be
seconded.
He added that contributions in support of the
motion should be taken after which those
opposed to the motion should take the floor.
Saraki could take none of that. He said that
Lawan should be allowed to conclude his
contribution.
Lawan said that the social intervention
programme of the government is computer
based which made it easy for Nigerians to apply
wherever they were.
He urged the Senate President to be above board
and blind to the debate.
Lawan said that it is on record that the social
intervention programme has been the most
successful in the country.
He said, “We inherited poverty, we inherited
empty treasury. This administration is working to
change the system. The social intervention fund
is under the office of the Vice President who has
been very transparent in the implementation of
the programme for the benefit of all Nigerians.”
Lawan said that he is not against whatever the
Senate wanted to do with Olujimi’s motion “but
the investigation should not be turned into a
political weapon.”
He reminded the Senate that Nigerians were
aware that Sure-P failed.
He said that Olujimi should tender the document
he has while the investigation should be party
blind.
The Senate adopted that prayer that the probe
should be apolitical.
The prayer that Sure-P should also be
investigated was also carried. |

Politics / 2019: I’ll Reward You All, Atiku Assures PDP Presidential Aspirants by kingsman66(m): 5:59pm On Oct 12, 2018 |
…As Saraki tells Buhari to quit “now” By Dirisu Yakubu ABUJA- Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar has promised to reward the 11 aspirants who contested the sole ticket with him, if he is elected President of Nigeria in the 2019 general elections. PDP Presidential candidates Atiku who stated this in Abuja at a meeting with members of the PDP Board of Trustees, BoT, charged them and other leaders of the party to rally behind him in his quest to make life better for Nigerians. According to him, the sense of togetherness amongst the 12 who contested the party’s primaries in Port Harcourt recently, is an indication that the party is well positioned to take over power from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2019. “I can assure you that I am prepared to work with and reward all of you if we unite together to achieve success. I must commend the sense of patriotism displayed by my fellow contestants. From the very day I delivered my acceptance speech, we have been working together. I believe it is our duty to provide that sense of unity and leadership to the rest of party members,” Atiku said even as he gave a brief account of what transpired behind closed doors in his Thursday’s meeting with former President, Olusegun Obasanjo. “I visited my former boss in Abeokuta where we exchanged pleasantries. I may not say whether he is a PDP member or not, but he is with us body and spirit. Even before he delivered his statement, we retired to his private room where he gave me his statement to go through and possibly edit. He said he will launch my campaign to the presidency with the statement. That is vintage Olusegun Obasanjo for you,” he added. Also speaking, Chairman of the BoT, Senator Walid Jibrin, congratulated Atiku and urged him to rally round other contestants in the presidential primaries in order for them to work together for victory in 2019. He counseled him to engage youths, women and BoT members in his campaign train, adding that the board would not disappoint in any responsibility assigned to it. He said: “As our presidential candidate, you will beat other presidential candidates, especially the APC that is already going down the drain and I wish you God’s guidance and protection throughout the campaign and success as you eventually enter the Villa in 2019. He added that consultations were going on for the Vice President to be selected from a zone that will attract more votes for the party. “Consultations are ongoing in order for the Presidential candidate to select a formidable Vice. With the Presidential candidate and the campaign team putting their heads together, soon, the VP will be announced. “The strategy is that wherever the Vice President will come from will translate to additional votes for the party. It is not all about appointing a Vice President that will not add value to the party and that will guide those who will take decisions in due course,” Jibrin said. For Uche Secondus, national chairman of the PDP, what would have amounted to a post- convention crisis has been nipped in the bud. In his words, Atiku met with the Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike shortly after the convention; a development not unconnected with the governor’s seeming unhappiness with the outcome of the primary election. He said: “Immediately after the convention, the Presidential candidate and I visited the host governor and a few issues were resolved almost immediately because we had to carry the momentum from the venue. On Monday, I called a meeting of all the former aspirants and they all came and we discussed heartily. They have already started implementing what we discussed by visiting critical stakeholders, governors and dignitaries.” Highlighting the reasons the PDP tasted defeat in the last election, Secondus said the “party was complacent in 2015, which led to our losing the election,” even as he charged members of the BoT to win their various polling units in order to earn their rewards. “Now, every BoT member must deliver his or her unit, ward or constituency. This was lacking in the last election. We must build a consensus and arrangement that ensures you will be rewarded and recognized when you deliver. We cannot play the type of Abuja politics that made us lose in 2015.” INEC, he added, will neither rig when they see the faces of the nationalists members at the polling units, nor would security operatives intimidate them. “Our task now is to focus and remain focused. Our target is to win all the polling units in the country and we will be able to do that, with the strategies in place. A popular candidate has emerged. He is grounded in Nigeria. What is left for us to do is to take the message home. “The current government is vicious. They are framing up and coming up with lies and propaganda, but we are happy that we are in complete control of the National Assembly. “We must sustain that so that the international community will be aware that the PDP is ready to take over the government and do what we know how to do best: which is to provide good leadership for Nigerians. Of course, the APC know how to be in opposition and they will go back to their former position. However, we can’t do it alone. We must have everyone on board. We must move fast immediately when INEC releases the timetable for campaigns.” On his part, a visibly elated Senate President , Bukola Saraki called on President Buhari to quit “now now,” to pave way for the assumption of office by Atiku without further delay. He said: “Buhari must go, now, now, now! His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar, should come in now, now, now! “To hear the Presidential candidate spoke of rewarding members shows we now have a politician as an incoming president. It gives us the tonic to go out to the field and perform. I can assure you, on behalf of the BOT members that we will give you our total support. “The meeting with former contestants in the convention, gubernatorial aspirants and stakeholders is sending a strong message across the country that we are united. Just one thing is remaining which to remove the President. Present at the well-attended meeting were prominent BoT members including Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, erstwhile Kaduna state governor, Ahmed Makarfi, former Katsina state governor, Ibrahim Shema, ex-Aviation Minister, Kema Chikwe, and former Imo state governor, Achike Udenwa. Others were former Minister of Police Affairs, Waziri Maina, ex-Minister of Women Affairs, Hajia Zainab Maina and former Niger state governor, Babangida Aliyu amongst others https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/10/2019-ill-reward-you-all-atiku-assures-pdp-presidential-aspirants/ |

Politics / FG Recalls Paris Club Refund For 5 States by kingsman66(m): 12:10pm On Sep 25, 2018 |
lagos—The Federal Government, yesterday,
ordered recall of the second tranche of the
London and Paris Club Refunds disbursed to five
states, amounting to about $2.7 billion (N972
billion.)
No reason for the recall was given. The states
involved are Delta, Imo, Benue, Rivers and Osun.
But the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) has
called for an emergency meeting to challenge the
action which some of them believe was
politically motivated.
Vanguard also gathered that the recall is done
directly from the states’ accounts with the Central
Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
However, many of the states confirmed that the
money had already been spent mostly on
payment of workers’ salary arrears.
Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom said he
directed the commencement of payment of
salary arrears, pensions and gratuity from the
N14.9 billion Paris Club refund received by the
state to pave way for speedy payment of the
funds to workers and retirees.
Osun State Commissioner for Information, Adelani
Baderinwa, claimed the government was yet to
be informed and cannot speak on the refund
because the Paris Club Refund has been spent on
workers’ salary.
NGF emergency meeting
Meanwhile, the Chairman, Nigerian Governors
Forum, NGF, Gov. Abdul’Aziz Yari Abubakar, has
called an emergency meeting of the Forum for
today, Tuesday 25th Sept, 2018 at the NGF
Secretariat in Abuja by 3:00 pm. The meeting
has just one agenda, CBN’s recall of the London
& Paris Club Refunds to States.
Yari, in the invite to the other governors,
requested them to come along with at least three
(3) months evidence of salary payment as well
as evidence of any challenge related to the
payment of salaries in their states.
Recall that the Federal Government said that the
states should clear backlog of salaries and other
related staff arrears before they would be able to
access the remaining $2.7 billion Paris Club
Refund. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/09/fg-recalls-paris-club-refund-for-5-states/ |
Politics / Mantu Commends Secondus For “repackaging PDP Into A Portent Political Force” by kingsman66(m): 2:30pm On Sep 24, 2018 |
Dr. Umar Mantu, a House of Representatives aspirant in Plateau, has commended PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, for “repackaging PDP into a portent political force’’. Mantu, son of former deputy senate president Ibrahim Mantu, who is seeking to represent Mangu/Bokkos Federal Constituency, spoke on Monday in Bokkos, in an interactive session with PDP stakeholders in the constituency. “Not long ago, the PDP was virtually written off by political analysts, but the situation has changed dramatically. “Now, the PDP is a portent political force courted by many and envied by rival political groups. “Few months ago, all we heard were people defecting from the party to other political parties. Now, everyone is rushing into the PDP. It has turned into our modern Noah’s ark. “The PDP has attracted new members and regained the old ones that left. It has regained the leadership of the National Assembly with Senate President Bukola Saraki and Speaker Tanimu Dogara back to the fold. “We started this year as an opposition party, but we now lead the legislative arm of government and the rival APC has been reduced to the opposition party. “Secondus has done so much for the party. He has re-positioned the PDP into a popular brand cherished by everyone. In fact, even PDP’s rivals admire and envy his leadership style,’’ Mantu, a 32-year-old lawyer, said. Mantu particularly lauded the PDP national and state leaderships for learning from its past mistakes and resolving to make every member a stakeholder. “Those defecting to the PDP had many options. There are close to 100 other options, but the defectors chose to troop to PDP because of the way its affairs are being steered,’’ he said. The aspirant particularly commended the PDP leadership for remaining firm and standing by its promise to be fair to everyone. He also commended the PDP leadership for respecting people’s wishes and carrying everyone along in decision making processes, saying that the impunity that brought the party to its knees in 2015, was no longer the trend. On his aspiration, Mantu said that he was consulting with stakeholders toward picking the PDP ticket in the primary election, and expressed confidence that winning the secondary election would be “much easier’’. “I have met with the delegates that will determine my fate in the primary election and they have promised to vote for me. I have no reason to doubt them,’’ he said. The aspirant also commended the national and state leaderships of the party for accommodating the interests of the youth and women, and encouraging them to vie for elective posts. “The PDP offers free nomination forms to women seeking elective positions and strives to encourage them to vie for its tickets. I see this as a very positive development,’’ he said. Mantu urged women and the youth to take full advantage of such opportunities to pursue their ambitions so as to contribute to societal growth, and cautioned them against allowing anyone to intimidate them. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/09/mantu-commends-secondus-for-repackaging-pdp-into-a-portent-political-force/ |
