The Senate yesterday resumed from its two weeks end of the third legislative session break and immediately suspended plenary in honour of Senator Dahiru Awaisu Kuta who passed on June 12 after a protracted illness.
Until his death, the late senator represented Niger East senatorial district in the Red Chamber.
While moving the motion for adjournment, Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, lamented how tragedy befell senators as a result of Kuta’s death while they were on break adding that in line with Senate’s tradition to cancel plenary in honour of a departed member, yesterday’s sitting would be adjourned till today.
“While we were on break, tragedy befell this chamber with the sudden death of our dear colleague, Senator Dahiru Awaisu Kuta, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Character, who died on June 12 in Lagos on his way for medical treatment abroad.
“Distinguished colleagues, may I in line with our tradition, move that this Senate do adjourn plenary till tomorrow, June 25, in honour of our departed colleague?” he asked.
Accordingly, the motion was adopted by the parliament as Senate President, David Mark, added that today’s sitting would be fully dedicated to the valedictory session in honour of the late senator. Mark added that the session would be graced by Niger State Governor, Babangida Aliyu as well as members of Kuta’s family.
While signing the condolence register placed at the entrance of the chamber, Mark told journalists that the nation had lost another patriotic Nigerian whom he described him as a vibrant senator who ensured that agencies under his committee’s watch played by the rules.
“In Kuta, Nigeria and indeed the Senate has lost a very patriotic citizen who at all times, joined hands with other patriots to move the country forward through whatever national assignment given to him.
“Specifically, the late Senator Kuta made the Senate committee on Federal Character to be very vibrant and responsive to its legislative responsibilities in terms of making relevant agencies under it to reflect equity in federal appointments and distribution of resources,” he said. Similarly, the House of Representatives yesterday adjourned plenary to honour of Kuta.
Addressing the lawmakers in the Green Chamber, Speaker Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, explained that members of the House would adjourn sitting in solidarity with members of the Senate, who are mourning one of their colleagues.

A member of the House of Representatives representing Ikwerre/Emohua Federal Constituency of Rivers State, Hon. Andrew Uchendu, has expressed concern over what he said are attempts by agents of the federal government to eliminate the governor of his state, Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
Uchendu, who is also one of the lawmakers that decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and also a representative of the Amaechi’s constituency, conveyed his concern over the threats to the governor’s life via a statement he titled: “Before Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi Dies.”
Explaining to reporters that he intends to explore other avenues to tell Nigerians about the plight of Amaechi, the lawmaker also flayed the frisking of the official car of the Speaker of the House, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, by soldiers in Kaduna on Monday.
Citing Chapter four, sub-sections 40 and 41 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which guarantees the freedom of association of any Nigerian, the lawmaker wondered what might befall Amaechi if the attention of Nigerians was not drawn to “the events of the most recent weeks, around Amaechi which have come in rather quick succession.”
Recalling three events during which the governor had encounters with agents of the government at the Akure Airport, Ado Ekiti and Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA) in Kano, he noted that “in all these three incidences, those carrying out the orders are said to be acting on “orders from above.”
“He has been the only governor that had his state’s House of Assembly invaded and desecrated by hired thugs and militants. He is the only governor that has had canisters thrown by the police into his seat of power, the Government House. And he has been the only one who the police prevented from driving on the road he constructed to go to the Government House,” Uchendu observed.
He queried: “Can all these be said to be politics?” stressing that he wasworried and concerned.
“I want to believe that there are more to all these than meet the eyes.” He pleaded with all Nigerians and the federal government, as well as its agents “to allow Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi to live,” arguing that “he is a full-blooded Nigerian citizen and elected by the people of Rivers State of Nigeria.”
On the travail of the Tambuwal in the hand of soldiers in Kaduna, he simply said: “What is going on now is an aberration in any democratic setting.”

As condemnation trails Monday’s attack on the Kano School of Hygiene, the supervising Minister of Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, has called on school authorities to work with security agencies to improve security on and around their premises.
This was as he condemned the attack which claimed at least eight lives and injured several others.
Wike, in a statement issued by his Special Assistant (Media), Mr. Simeon Nwakaudu, described the attack as another cowardly attempt to instill fear in the minds of Nigerians who wish to improve their lives by acquiring education.
He reiterated the willingness of the ministry to work with state ministries to prevent attacks on educational institutions by terrorists.
“at the federal level, the Federal Ministry of Education has reached out to the Ministry of Defence, which has made a firm commitment to always provide the necessary services and advice to all levels of governance in the overall bid to resolve the security challenge now facing schools in some parts of the country,” he said.
Wike added that with vigilance on the part of all stakeholders, the terrorists would not succeed with the ungodly goal of attempting to discourage Nigerian youths and children from keying into the educational programmes.

Crisis is currently brewing in the Anambra State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) following the decision by the party to nominate the former Governor of the state, Peter Obi, for a ministerial position to represent the state in the Federal Executive Council (FEC). Ms. Stella Oduah, who represented the state in the council, was dropped recently.
Since then, nobody has been nominated to fill the vacancy. It was gathered by THISDAY that members of the party in the state are divided over the choice of Oduah’s replacement.
THISDAY gathered that the State Working Committee (SWC) of the party, after its 98th meeting, recommended Obi as a possible ministerial nominee who would represent the state in the federal cabinet.
The argument proffered by the SWC in a letter to President Goodluck Jonathan was that the choice of Obi was because of his “popularity and acceptability.”
The letter signed by the state chairman of the party, Ken Emeakayi and secretary, Mike Akubude, expressed the hope that even though Obi is the member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), “the former governor who will automatically become a member of PDP if and when appointed, is best positioned to galvanise all the interest groups, the people of the state and the South-east zone towards the forthcoming presidential election.”
The recommendation is creating bad blood in the state as some party members considered it strange that the leadership of the party in the state could not find any member of PDP qualified and capable to fill the slot.
In a petition to the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) by a Concerned PDP Faithful in the state, the group accused Emeakayi of anti-party activities for “his unilateral nomination of a non-party member.”
The petition signed by Chief Mike Okeke further argued that it is “more reprehensible when reasoned against the backdrop that there are very highly qualified and loyal PDP members in the state who can fit into the position of a minister…”
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, who is also leader of PDP in Anambra State, was not available for comment as he was said to be out of the country.
The state chairman of the PDP in Anambra State confirmed to THISDAY that, the party’s recommendation, stating that those protesting the nomination of Obi were not members of the PDP.

Five policemen and eight civilians were yesterday shot dead by armed robbers that attacked a bullion van at Ubulu-Okiti, along Benin-Onitsha Expressway.
The robbers, numbering about 20 and wielding AK45 riffles, succeeded in carting away large sums of money after breaking into the save compartment of the bullion van.
The robbers who were dressed mostly in red attire and face cap and operated in a Siena bus and a Prado jeep were said to have been trailing the bullion van from Benin to Agbor before intercepting the bullion van at Ubulu-Okiti, in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State.
THISDAY gathered that the trigger happy men who shot sporadically with their sophisticated weapons, killed five policemen on the spot, who were escorting the bullion van, while eight other civilians who were travelling along that direction were also killed.
The robbery operation, according to an eyewitness account, lasted between 1:45p.m. 2p.m., as unsuspecting travellers and passersby were forced to scamper for safety for fear of been hit by stray bullet. It was also gathered that several cars somersaulted while others ran into the bush in an attempt to escape from the rampaging robbers.
The Delta State Police Public Relations Officer , DSP Celestina Kalu, while confirming the incident to journalists, said the bullion van conveyed money from the bank in Agbor to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in Asaba when it was attacked by the robbers.
Kalu said some policemen on the escort team were wounded during a gun dwell with the robbers, adding that the robbers succeeded in carding away some money during the operation. She said the police was on the trail of the flying robbers as investigation into the incident had since commenced.

To make the Land Use Act easier for amendment by the National Assembly, a delegate at the ongoing National Conference, Mr. Emeka Eleh, has again called for the Act to be expunged from the 1999 Constitution.
Eleh, who is representing the Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers (NIESV) under the professional bodies group at the conference, argued that the removal of the Act from the constitution would not only make the processes for its implementation easier, but business friendly.
The delegate, who is also the immediate past president of the NIESV), said the estate surveyors’ body agreed with the proposal, which incidentally had also been proposed by at least four committees at the conference, noted that there was no need to fear because the Act would still remain a federal law which can only be amended by the National Assembly.
He stated that part of the clamour for the amendment of the Act is for land matters to be placed on the Concurrent List in the constitution to make it possible for states to adapt the Act to suit their peculiar requirements while retaining its main essence/provisions.
Eleh stated that the clamour for the removal of the Act from the constitution is not intended to dilute its provisions but also to make it easy to be amended to enable it achieve its set goals.
“As is the rule no state even in exercising its powers under the constitution can make laws that will run contrary to any provision of the Land Use Act even though it is no longer a part of the constitution. Land matters will now be placed on the concurrent list. This will make it possible for states to adapt the Act to suit their peculiar requirements while retaining its main essence/provisions.”
The delegate contended that the rights and authority vested on state governors to administer the land in their respective states will remain unchanged.
He said an ideal land policy anchored on the Land Use Act would empower Nigerians economically by giving them the power to create wealth from their land holdings.
The delegate said the useful recommendations with regards to compensation which had been accepted by the conference can only be put into effect if the Act is amended.
“It is also pertinent to state that the useful recommendations with regards to compensation which have been accepted by this conference can only be put into effect if the Act is amended. All such amendments will of course be carried out by the National Aassembly – the elected representatives of the Nigerian people following due process.
“We believe that the proposal to remove the Act from the constitution is in order and urge this conference to ratify it.”
“It is in this regard that we support the calls which has been re-echoed in this conference by at least four committees for the Act to be removed from the constitution. The Act shall upon removal from the constitution remain a federal law, placed on the concurrent legislative list.
“This will make it possible for states to be able to make necessary enactments that will make for the smooth operation of the Act in their respective states without altering the main provisions or the main essence of the Act.
“It will also make it possible for National Assembly to effect amendments to the Act as may be appropriate following their laid down procedure. We agree completely with this proposal and urge this conference to ratify it.”

The suit instituted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to get the five governors who defected from the party to the All Progressives Congress (APC) to vacate their seats suffered a setback yesterday as the court upheld the claim by the governors that they were not properly served with the processes.
The affected governors are AbdulFatah Ahmed (Kwara), Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi (Rivers), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Aliyu Wamako (Sokoto) and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (Kano).
The suit, which was instituted six months ago by PDP to challenge the legality of the defection by the governors to the APC was adjourned indefinitely to allow the PDP comply with the procedure for service.
In his ruling, Justice Gabriel Kolawole held that PDP failed to follow the procedures allowed by law in reaching the defendants since December 10 when the court action was instituted.
The court agreed with the lawyers to the governors that they had not been served with the court papers and as such, the court could not assume jurisdiction until the plaintiff (PDP) had done the needful and put its house in order.
The purported service of court process allegedly effected at No. 40 Blantyre Street, being the new office of the APC was declared illegal, invalid, defective and was set aside by the court for not having the court endorsement.
Justice Kolawole held that the issue of service of originating summon by the plaintiff on the defendant was fundamental before the court could take further action against the defendants.
He asked PDP to formally write the court and attach the evidence of proper service of court processes on the defendants before any action could be taken against the governors.
The PDP had informed the court that in line with the court order obtained on December 13, 2013, the originating summon was taken to No. 6 Bissau Street, Wuse II, but discovered that the APC had vacated the office and relocated to No. 40, Blantyre Street, Abuja, as the new office.
PDP claimed that the originating summon and other court papers were subsequently taken to the new office for onward delivery by the APC to the governors.
But Justice Kolawale agreed with the governors that the service at 40 Blantyre Street was invalid, ineffective and faulty because the order of the court for service did not embody the address.
The judge said what the plaintiff (PDP) ought to have done was to come back to the court to legally vary the order of service before serving it at 40, Blantyre Street, being the new APC national secretariat.
Justice Kolawole said PDP would have done well if the service of the originating summons had been effected on the Attorney General of the affected states since such service could hardly be faulted in law.
He therefore ordered PDP represented by Dr. Alex Izion (SAN) to do the needful before the case could be resuscitated by the court for adjudication.

A delegate from the South-east, Prof Chinedu Nwajiuba has made a proposal to the National Conference for the change of the country’s name from Nigeria to ‘Naijiria’ as a means of addressing embarrassing identity clash that often arise between the people of Nigeria and Niger Republic.
Nwajiuba, who along with the initiator of the concept, Dr Agwu Ukiwe Okali addressed a press conference at the venue of the National Conference yesterday cited cases of Ghana, which was renamed from Gold Coast, Upper Volta changing to Burkina Faso, Dahomy renamed Benin Republic.
Nwajiuba decried the embarrassment Nigeria faces whenever its name was associated with fraud perpetrated by Nigerien citizens abroad due to the similarity in the two names.
He was of the opinion that since it has become difficult to make an outright change of the name it has become necessary to localise it to give it African coloration as obtained in the aforementioned countries.
He said since the Nigerian youths in their music and arts have already keyed into the name Naija, it becomes imperative to recommend it to the federal government.
Speaking on the concept, the initiator and former United Nations Assistant Secretary General and Founder Okali Seminal Ideas Foundation for Africa (OSIFA), Dr. Okali, said the change of the name “Nigeria” to “Naijiria” has become necessary since the country had just marked 100 years of nationhood.
Okali said the name; ‘Nigeria’ lacks African content unlike many other African names, wondering why the citizens have not focused their minds to changing the name.
According to him, the word, Niger was taken from the Latin word Niger, which has the same meaning as Nigger, saying it is probably the origin of Nigeria.
“We feel as proud and enlightened Africans that after 100 years we should be able to focus our attention intellectually on this kinds of things as other people abroad might be wondering whether the citizens are not intellectually minded as to realise this.”
Okali stated that the peak of the various embarrassments arising from the name Nigeria was when the erroneous hosting of Niger Republic flag in place of Nigeria’s at the last opening of the World Cup.
He said, “We think that the occasion of the centenary and the National Conference going on affords us the opportunity, in fact imposes on us a responsibility to use the occasion to tidy up some of the legacies of our colonial past that are still hunting us. One of those is “Nigeria” as it is written.
“During the opening ceremony of the ongoing World Cup, there was a very embarrassing incident. This incident, simply put, is that the flag of Niger, our neighbouring country was displayed as the Nigerian flag. Now many people may say why? The reason is that the way those countries’ names were written makes it very easy to confuse and requires a high level of concentration to differentiate.”
The former UN Assistant Secretary, who also stated that sometimes the National Anthem of the country is not played in international events because of the confusion, noted with disgust that the white people have derogatorily applied the name ‘Nigeria’ with its undertone ‘nigger’ to Nigerians in many instances.
“The second problem related to the word Nigeria is that the way it is spelt, which is what the issue is here is pronounced and should be pronounced as Ni-ge-ria. In any African language, including your own and in many other languages that is the case.
“So what happened is that it now becomes associated with ‘Nigger-Area’ and as you know the word ‘nigger’ is the most derogatory term you can use on a black person as far as far racism is concerned. So our name suggests it and we are saying this is absurd. The greatest black African country is flirting with the worst word that you should be using for a black person, “ he said.

With reports that there are over 16,300 Nigerians in foreign prisons, delegates to the National Conference yesterday called for swap of prisoners between Nigeria and other countries.
The report by the Committee on Foreign Policy also recommended that Nigeria should sign extradition treaties with the eastern and southern worlds, as it’s the case with the western nations to help safe guard the nation’s nascent democracy.
The idea, the delegates said, is because as much as there are extradition treaties with the western world, it should be extended to the eastern and southern worlds because of the trend of coup plotters taking refuge in countries where there are no extradition treaties.
By so doing, the committee said that coup plotters have the tendency of taking political asylum in countries where there are no such treaties. This, the report said is aimed at saf-guarding democracy in Nigeria.
According to the former Minister of Education, Prof. Ihechukwu Madubuike, who quoted the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), said that there are over 16,300 Nigerians in foreign jailhouses due to drug-related offences. He also said that there are also over 3,719 Nigerian women in Canada alone.
Madubuike therefore called for the exchange of prisoners as contained in the report of the Committee on Foreign Policy. The former governor of Anambra State, Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, supported him.
The committee’s report said that there are 752 Nigerians in the United Kingdom, 700 Nigerians as prisoners in China, 500 Nigerians in China and 96 Nigerians in the Indonesia prisons. They therefore called for the amendment of section 41(2) (ii) of the 1999 Constitution to enable the exchange of prisoners.
The committee recommended for the creation of Foreign Ministry Academy to ensure that only qualified Nigerians are recruited as staff of the Ministry of Foreign Ministry, arguing the staff of the foreign ministry is the image of Nigeria and therefore should be properly equipped through training.
The report on Foreign Policy Committee further urged the federal government to increase its budgetary provisions to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as it is not a good representation of the over 80 per cent of the embassies are living in rented apartments.
He further said that it is regrettable that Nigeria spends less than three per cent of her annual budget on foreign policy, whereas other countries spend as much as five per cent of their budgets to their foreign missions.
Gambari further said that the committee recommended that only 30 per cent of ambassadorial postings should be reserved for non-carrier diplomats and that all prospective ministers of foreign affairs should be made to pass through trainings from the Nigeria Intelligence Agency (NIA).
The former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Ahmadu Ali urged Nigeria to pursue a foreign policy of ‘Quid Pro Quo’ in line with what would be beneficial to Nigeria.
Ali asked of what economic interest is Nigeria’s intervention in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Mali, but Prof. Eddy Eragbe from Edo State countered that the country’s foreign policy should be seen in the line of Naira and Kobo.
Eragbe had earlier said that some tangible benefits of Nigeria’s diplomacy also go with some intangible benefits, saying that foreign policy should not be seen in the sense of Naira and Kobo.
He held that some of the presentations at the conference held a wrong notion of Diaspora. He said Africans in the Diaspora have been involved in building the continent and these led to some of the major milestones in the continent including independence to some countries in Africa.
He said that Nigeria had failed to position itself for direct foreign investment and disagree with those saying that the country has no claim to the permanent seat at the Security Council of the United Nations. Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, in her contribution, called for the resettlement of the Bakassi people, explaining that it would mean well for the foreign interest of Nigeria.

As part of the preparations for the 2015 general election, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) yesterday met with the national chairmen and secretaries of the 26 registered political parties in Abuja in its efforts to harmonise and approve the guidelines for the commencement of the primary election campaigns by candidates and conduct of election primaries by political parties.
According to INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, in his speech at the opening of the second quarterly meeting with political parties, he said the meeting also discussed the approved guidelines for political party registration and deregistration, harmonising the draft guideline for political party campaigns ahead of the 2015 elections and scheduling of party primaries for the 2015 elections.
“This meeting is coming at an auspicious time, on the wake of the recently concluded governorship election in Ekiti State. I must therefore use this opportunity to congratulate and commend all stakeholders whose positive involvement in the process has resulted in the successful conduct of the election, such that it has been adjudged the best election INEC has so far thus far conducted.
“From the INEC staff to the young men and women of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and other tertiary institutions, to the security agencies, political parties, civil society organisations and the candidates and host of other stakeholders, every one put in their best and our collective best turned out to be good enough in the state. That is how it should be and it is a very good lesson for our future elections,” Jega said.
On the outcome of the Ekiti State governorship election and its implication for the 2015 general election, the INEC chairman said: “The successful conduct of a free, fair and peaceful election in the state is a good omen for the subsequent elections to come, and indeed for the satisfaction of the aspiration of Nigerians for a consolidated democracy. We must therefore not rest on our oars, but continue to do our best collectively to sustain and keep on improving on this achievement.
“The forthcoming election in Osun State, God willing, should on the count be better, and the 2015 general election must be the best. It is therefore a challenge for all of us to join hands and continue to work together to ensure this necessary outcome.”
Continuing on the euphoria of last weekend’s governorship election, Jega promised that the experience of the state election would be improved upon as the commission prepares for the August 17 governorship election in Osun State and the February 2015 general election respectively.
He urged all stakeholders who were instrumental to the successful conduct of the election which was adjudged the best the commission had so far conducted not to rest on their oars, stressing that it was the commissions’ resolve that the Osun and 2015 elections would be better than that of Ekiti State.
Also, he expressed his satisfaction with the efforts of the political parties in ensuring a hitch-free election in Ekiti State.
He charged the political parties to seek the opportunity of the election to support the commissions’ efforts to conduct a free and fair elections in 2015.
Jega observed that the meeting would among other things deliberate on the progress and challenges which the commission had made in the distribution of the Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVC) as well as the conduct of the Continuous Voters’ Register (CVR) in its phase one and preparations for phase two.
In his speech, chairman of the Inter Party Advisory Council, (IPAC), Tanko Yinusa, who congratulated the INEC chairman on the successful conduct of the Ekiti State governorship election, noted that the council had a 13-point agenda which it had forwarded to INEC for consideration.
Yinusa, who is also the National Chairman of National Conscience Party (NCP), stated that highlights of the agenda, which he also intends to discuss with the National Assembly included measures to ensure the survival of political parties, registration and deregistration as well as funding of political parties.
The IPAC chairman, however, demanded the involvement of political parties in the issue of voters’ registration, stressing that voters’ register was the foundation of any credible election in the country.
According to him, “Political parties are interested in voters’ register as this is the foundation for any credible election in any country. We want to share with you in this regard. We want to be fully involved in the second phase.”
Yinusa also noted that the continuous voters’ registration should be made automatic for anyone who is 18 years.
IPAC chairman also called for a monthly meeting with INEC leadership now that 2015 is around the corner. Besides, he said the parties had a 13-point agenda to submit to INEC in their next meeting.
