Communications minister, Barrister Adebayo Shittu has made it clear that it is the All Progressives Congress (APC), at its primaries coming up this year, that will decide whether or not President Muhammadu Buhari should be made a candidate to re-contest the 2019 election for a second term. The minister who spoke to news men today, Monday, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, insisted: “APC will decide the fate of Mr. President when the next round of primaries come.” The minister, who was reacting to the points raised in a letter which the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo wrote to President Buhari, conceded that Obasanjo had the right to air his view on any topic as guaranteed by the constitution. He however deplored Obasanjo’s attitude of sensationalising issues of national importance, adding that Obasanjo has no right to short change Nigerians by asking President Buhari not to seek for re-election in 2019. Shittu, who acknowledged that sensationalism has been the stock in trade of Obasanjo in the past 30 years, said: “with due respect to General Obasanjo, if you take his history over the last 30 years, there is hardly any regime other than his own that he did not criticize except Sani Abacha, who didn’t wait for Obasanjo to criticize him before he was sent to the gulag. “So many Nigerians know that Obasanjo enjoys this type of sensationalisation. In any case, no matter what impression you have of me, do you have a right to tell me not to contest an election? I mean we should talk like people who are educated, who know our left from the right. “There are procedures for elections. President Buhari is a member of the APC and the APC has its rules and regulations as to how candidates will emerge, if members of the party feel that the president has not performed well enough, it is for them to show that during the primary election. Is not for anybody to short change Nigerians and prevent people from offering themselves for an election. “In any case, since Obasanjo is no more a member of our party, with due respect to him it doesn’t lie in his mouth to tell us who among our party members or leaders to contest or not to contest. I think Nigerians should concede this privilege to we the members of APC to decide the fate of Mr. President when the next round of primaries come.”[myad]
I agree with former President Olusegun Obasanjo that Nigeria needs to be rescued from the “misgovernance guillotine” of the APC and the PDP. Obasanjo expressed his desire for the deracination of these bands of misfortune in his latest missive. He said: “We need a Coalition for Nigeria, CN. Such a movement at this juncture needs not be a political party but one to which all well-meaning Nigerians can belong. That movement must be a coalition for democracy, good governance, social and economic well-being and progress. Coalition to salvage and redeem our country. You can count me with such a movement.” A few weeks ago, Oby Ezekwesili launched the Red-Card Movement, a group or “Third Force” forged with the bounden aim of shoving the APC out of the dais of power and keeping the PDP in the abyss of oblivion. It is clear that Obasanjo is in spirit with Ezekwesili’s movement. I agree with Ezekwesili that the APC and the PDP deserve the red card, but I do not believe that a “movement of big egos” will solve Nigeria’s leadership problem. As a matter of fact, all the key figures of the movement once held political office in the country; Nigeria’s problems 18 years ago are still alive today. If the sponsors of this group had possessed the Midas touch to turn the country into a terrain of gold, citizens would not have been in a state of loss and confusion today. The country and its leadership is the way it is because of the past mistakes and failures of members of this elitist movement. What tonic can these people administer to anaemic Nigeria? As of now, the “Obasanjo-Ezekwesili” movement does not have an alternative to the status quo. And since the group has elected to be a pressure group and not a political party, it is safe to say it may support a candidate from any political party other than the APC and the PDP. I will not to go into the charade that a few other political parties are, but a young candidate of a party in the Osun local government election could not participate in the exercise because his party tactlessly failed to submit his name to INEC. How do you define incompetence? For me, I do not think the Red-Card Movement is a people’s movement. It is self-serving and peopled by big egos on a relevance chase. If not, why is it so concerned about the presidency? Nigeria’s problem is structural. It needs “de-cluttering.” Until the present structure is re-worked, every president is doomed to fail. And the answer to Nigeria’s structural problem is in the recommendations of the APC restructuring committee. I believe this movement will do Nigerians a great favour if it puts pressure on the government to have the recommendations implemented.

President Muhammadu Buhari sitting at the AU Submit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
President Muhammadu Buharib has advised the fast-tracking of a single unified market in Africa to increase trade, create more jobs and reduce poverty. The President who spoke in favour of the Report on the establishment of a Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA) and related issues as presented by President Mahamadou Issoufou of Niger Republic, at the 30th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia said: “it is Nigeria’s position that as African leaders and principal architects of our Union, we must now speed up action to conclude the negotiations and establish the CFTA.” President Buhari reminded his audience that the continent has missed the timeline set by the African Union (AU) in January 2012 to establish the CFTA in 2017, adding that African leaders still had the opportunity to set it up by March 2018. “In a rapidly changing global economy, with much uncertainty, we believe that the establishment of a CFTA would provide Africa with tremendous opportunity to achieve significant growth driven by intra-African trade.” According to him, while the stakes in setting up CFTA are very high, the benefits are wide-ranging and significant. “The primary objective is economic namely, for trade in goods and services on the continent. A single, unified market would lead to a comprehensive and mutually beneficial trade agreement amongst African Union Member States. If we integrate Africa’s market for trade in goods and services, we will not only double intra-African trade, but also negotiate with other regions or continents on trade matters.” President Buhari stressed that if the continent increases its trade, it will grow faster, create more jobs and reduce poverty. “Thus, with CFTA, our continent will be more integrated, united and prosperous. “CFTA will carry significant welfare gains associated with increased production, consumption and revenue. It will generate more economic growth, enhance efficiency and support enterprise and innovation.” The Nigerian leader advised his African colleagues to also look beyond the economic benefits of the CFTA, stressing that it will be another step in uniting Africa and consolidating the architecture of the African Union. “The establishment of the CFTA is also the first step for the African Union in the implementation of “Agenda 2063” for the socio-economic transformation of the continent as well as being a building block in the achievement of the goals of the 1991 Abuja Treaty on the African Economic Community.” President Buhari commended President Issoufou on his role as the AU Champion for the CFTA, also lauded the technical support provided by the AU Commission, with Nigeria serving as the Chair of the Negotiating Forum and Chairperson of the AU Ministers of Trade. The President said that Nigeria would welcome the idea even as he called on AU Member States to lend their strategic support without delay. [‘myad]
A budding Yoruba actress, Toyin Idowu, known as Creamyniffy, has expressed disgust with many film directors who she said would never assign role to any lady without asking her for sex.
She said on Instagram “You cannot get a role in a movie without conditions,” she said. “I don’t want to drag anyone into this but there are many directors out there who wouldn’t give you a role without attaching a condition and most times the condition is sex.”
Toyin, who hasn’t done much acting lately, told Potpourri in a chat that she’s totally fed up with directors asking for sex in exchange for roles and that she may never return to acting unless she gets a fair proposition.
“I would have gone far if I’m the type that sleeps around but I can never sell my body in exchange for anything. Acting is not a do or die affair. If I don’t make it as an actress that doesn’t mean I can’t make it elsewhere.
“People had told me it is an inevitable thing in the industry and when I started going to locations I found out it was really true. I’m not saying I am a saint or perfect, but I can’t trade my body for a script.
“Some people may not have experienced this or gone through what I have experienced but I am talking about myself and what I went through. That is why I gave up acting.´
When asked if she would go back if the opportunity presents itself, the graduate of Crown University, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State said she has not made up her mind.
“Seriously, I can’t say for now because it has been long I went to any location and I have no plans of going back. And more importantly to me, I don’t want to lose my relationship because I am in a very serious relationship now. Most of our actresses don’t have long-lasting relationships because of their career. What is a career without a man in your life? Since I stopped acting I have not had any regret.” [myad]
President Muhammadu Buhari, watching Super Eagle match from his hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia this evening.
President Muhammadu Buhari returned to his hotel room in Addis Ababa where he is attending the African Union (AU) Summit to watch the Super Eagles defeat their Angolan counterparts 2-1 to zoom into the semi-finals of the ongoing African Nations championship in Morocco.
Hardly had the refree blew the whistle to end the match than the President sent message congratulating the victorious Super Eagles on the spectacular 2-1 win against Angola in the CHAN quarter-final match today in Morocco.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in a statement, said that President Buhari returned to his hotel room after a long day of meetings which started at 8:00am and ended at 5:30 pm, to watch the match, adding that the President wished the Eagles “the very best for the upcoming matches.
The Eagle had come from behind to beat Angola 2-1 at a point when Angola players were in festive mood to go away with victory.
However, by a struck of the luck, Nigeria equalized at the injury time, making it possible for the game to dovetail into extra-time.
After a goalless first half, Angola opened scoring in the 56th minutes through Va and held on after normal time before the Eagles equalised.
Okpotu equalized for Nigeria on two minutes of the three minutes added time. It was a deserved goal after the Eagles had mounted pressure on the Angolan defence.
Poor finishes in front of goal had been the Eagles bane. They could have won the match easily if they had taken their chances.
Okechukwu gave Nigeria the victory when he scored the winning goal in the 111th minute of extra-time to put the game beyond the Angolans.
There is no doubt that Nigeria is gradually sliding into a police state going by the stomach-churning advice by the Kano State Commissioner of Police, Mr Rabiu Yusuf, that a former state governor and current senator, Rabiu Kwankwaso, should shelve his scheduled January 30 visit to Kano, his home state. What is going on, for God’s sake, in Kano state? Why have the police, acting in concert with the state governor, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, decided to declare him more or less a persona non grata in his own state? The police are trying to unconscionably abridge the freedom of movement and civil liberties of Kwankwaso. But as of the time of writing this piece, Kwankwaso has reportedly said the police cannot stop him from going to Kano to peacefully see his constituents. He is very right on that score. The former governor should not be left alone to fight this unconstitutionality. All well-meaning Nigerians must condemn the unsophisticated approach by the state to suppress Kwankwaso and upstage his seemingly robust political structure. Advising the former governor to suspend his planned visit to Kano was patently wrong. It offended the spirit of fair dealing. That piece of advice is bad news which has the potentialities of far-reaching implications for the polity. If the police gambit is allowed to succeed, the state governor can continue to influence or instigate the Police Commissioner to adopt the same strategy over and again to perpetually keep Kwankwaso away from the state. At the moment, there is tension in a vast majority of the states and the police commissioners in those states have not advised or barred representatives of the people or politicians from their states. Since it is an open secret that Kwankwaso, who gave President Muhammadu Buhari a good fight for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2014 presidential primary, is nursing a presidential ambition in 2019, the strategy of the chief security officer of the state and the police commissioner may have been orchestrated to terribly hurt Kwankwaso’s political and logistical mobilisation that should naturally begin from his home state. But the government action to unnerve Kwankwaso, to say the least, is an affront on democratic ethos. Popular participation in democratic engagements should neither be under enemy control nor held hostage by a self-imposing police state as it is grotesquely manifesting in Kano. This official disposition is primordial, anachronistic and tendentious in its form, shape and texture as well as counter-productive to the democratic testimonial of the APC-controlled government. How sadly have the police become petty, partial and partisan of the ruling government such that a leader of the ruling party can be subjected to this kind of treatment? But the joke is on the police, the government and the APC: first, that they do not have the capacity or the temperament to accommodate seeming opposition from within their ranks; and, second, that they cannot ensure simple security for Kwankwaso, his supporters and public facilities. By the way, is Kwankwaso going to Kano to organise or lead a violent protest? Certainly not, except agents of the state decide to infiltrate the group of his supporters and try to precipitate violence from within in order to justify the preconceived advice by the police to keep him away; and, for as long as possible. If that is not the case, I do not see anything difficult in the police providing protection for Kwankwanso and the crowd of supporters that would welcome him to Kano. After all, the police have been giving protection to pro-government protest marches. Why have they considered Kwankwaso’s historic visit to Kano a difficult event to handle? If the fear expressed by the police commissioner as to the possibility of disgruntled elements hijacking the visit is real, then what that simply explicates is that the disgruntled elements would certainly not be from the camp or among the supporters of Kwankwaso but from the governor’s camp. It is not a secret that there is no love lost between the two leaders. It therefore will not cost the state government too much to sustain the grounds of “tensed atmosphere” to keep Kwankwaso away from the state. Ganduje is gripped by a morbid fear occasioned by the popularity of his former boss and predecessor in office. Kwankwaso’s political structure in Kano is pervasive and solid. Ganduje’s deputy, Professor Hafiz Abubakar, is a product of that structure. Following the cold war, Ganduje has reportedly sidelined Abubakar. The professor, according to media reports, has said he would dump Ganduje and return to the classroom at the Bayero University at the end of his first term in 2019. The governor is fast losing grips. But he has quickly done a few things in order to preserve his position: alignment with President Muhammadu Buhari in the calculations that he would be able to use that to clinch the party’s ticket and also re-election. He also enlisted in the group of seven governors that stormed Abuja while the 73 Nigerians massacred in Benue by Fulani herdsmen were being buried in Makurdi, to mollycoddle the president to run again for the presidency in 2019. Clinching a second term in office may not be a smooth ride for Ganduje given the nature of Kano politics, which predisposes the people to most of the times diverge from mainstream parties that hold the levers of power in Abuja. Such unpredictable political tenacity to embrace opposition politics has, indeed, defined Kano as the archetypical hotbed of northwest politics. Kwankwaso himself was a victim in 2003 when he was denied re-election by the people who voted for Malam Ibrahim Shekarau on the platform of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) instead. This is the historical example, nay reality that Ganduje will have to contend with. There is no doubt that Kwankwaso has become the real issue in Kano politics. As it is, even when he has not made any statements that could be construed to be critical of the APC-led federal government, the fear of his deft political moves has become the beginning of wisdom to the party leadership in the state. Why should they not fear Kwankwaso who, as governor, delivered about two million of Kano votes, even if somewhat controversial, to Buhari in the 2015 presidential election? But the way they are going about trying to tame him is certainly a crying aberration in a democracy. To practically bar Kwankwaso from going to Kano on a home visit is not only jejune but also faute de mieux counter-productive to the APC’s assertion of political accommodation and tolerance.

Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto state has virtually pushed 115 reluctant indigenes of the state into the Federal Government Girls’ College in Sokoto to begin academic pursuits. According to information reaching us, the girls are being sponsored by the government of Tambuwal after they were identified by the newly-created Agency for Female Education. Report had it that the governor got worried when he discovered that the number of Sokoto indigenes in the school, located in the state, is less than 30. Confirming the development to reporters in Sokoto, Special Adviser to Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal on Girl Child Education, Dr. Amamatu Yusuf, said that the governor acted when it was brought to his attention that there were few Sokoto indigenes in the school. “The Agency for Female Education liaised with the Ministry for Local Government to source for students from the 23 local government areas of the state. We organized an entrance examination for them and the best among them were offered admission. “To lessen the burden on parents, Governor Tambuwal gave approval that all necessary materials needed for fresh students in the College be provided for the new intakes. “We therefore distributed mattresses, school bags, sandals, mosquito nets, blankets, schools wears among others free of charge to support them.” The governor’s adviser confirmed that all the girls were admitted into JSS 1 and 2 and SSS 1 and 2 respectively. “We will continue to monitor the progress of the girls. Even though this admission circle is over, next time, we will also ensure that anywhere there is deficit in the number of our girls in any College in the country, we will fill it up without hesitation.” Governor Tambuwal recently created the Agency to promote and coordinate female education and all issues related to female education from basic to tertiary levels in the state.

The new chairperson of the African Union (AU) who doubles as President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame has confessed that leaders on the African continent have failed to create a pathway to prosperity for their peoples. He said that over the years, leaders of the continent have busied themselves studying how Asians got industrialized, forgetting that such system was no longer tenable for Africa. Kagame, who spoke today, Sunday while taking over the mantle of leadership of the AU from Alpha Conde, President of Guinea, said that technology has evolved so fast that Africa’s window to follow that strategy is narrowing much more rapidly each day. According to the AU chairperson, the continent is running out of time and efforts must be geared to save Africa from permanent deprivation. “Africa’s defining challenge is to create a pathway to prosperity for our people, especially young people. “Elsewhere, this has been achieved through industrialization but the growth trajectory that transformed Asia is not necessarily any longer a viable option for Africa, simply because we waited too long to act. “Technology has evolved so rapidly in recent years, that Africa’s window to follow that strategy is narrowing much more rapidly than previously understood. We are running out of time and we must act now to save Africa from permanent deprivation.” Kagame stressed that if Africa must take centre stage in up-scaling its development process, it must create a single continental market, integrate infrastructures and infuse technology into national economies. ”Scale is essential, we must create a single continental market, integrate our infrastructure and infuse our economies with technology. “No country or region can manage on its own. We have to be functional and we have to stay together. The financial and institutional reform of the African Union derives all of its urgency from these realities.”[myad]
Nigeria’s foremost business magnate and President of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has completed a N1.2 billion structure for running of business school in Bayero University, Kano (BUK). The building which is scheduled for formal handing over to the university management next month, is a state of the art edifice, the first in the Northern part of Nigeria. The President of Dangote Group, said that the structure is part of the efforts to build entrepreneurship in the sub-consciousness of Nigerian through education at the highest level. He said that the present situation in Nigeria necessitated the revisiting school curriculum to reflect the new consciousness of entrepreneurship and manufacturing to encourage the study of business, especially at the second level in the university.
Speaking on the gesture of Dangote, the Dean of Faculty of Dangote Business School, Professor Murtala Sagagi recalled that until Dangote started the project, there was no such Business School in Bayero University, Kano (BUK). “We have an ambition to have a business school and we could not go ahead with the project because there was no befitting structure to accommodate the kind of dream we had but with Dangote coming in about five years ago and that was when the University decided to say this is the time to have the business school.” He said that Kano is the second most vibrant commercial city in the country after Lagos, adding: “we have industries, Banks, different type of businesses, micro, small, medium and large enterprises. “We are having large scale investors from China, Spin and all over the world coming to Kano to make investment and this means the State needs an institution, a kind of faculty, school that can able to develop the capacity not only the management of those organisation but those people who are working in different units or department within the organisation. “Looking at the public sector, we have limited capacity in budget, project management, which has led to things not moving well in the country. With our unique disadvantage here in Northern Nigeria, the South is far ahead in terms of capacity level, for example there are about 20 universities in Ogun State, while in Kano State we have only three Universities and all of them owned by either by the state government or federal government. It is just of recent we are getting private investors to coming in.” Sagagi pointed out that all these show that there is a need for massive capacity building in Management, Finance, Marketing, E-Business, and particularly entrepreneurship and innovation in this part of the country and also for the entire country. “Bayero University has a unique reputation in the whole country and this explains why in the last National Institution Accreditation exercise, BUK became the best University in the Country, not because we have the best of everything but because of the quality of our curriculum, faculty and most importantly the quality of the students. “The Dangote Business School is a great development and we hope that this business school will not only be seen as a Kano business school or Northern business school because I can tell you about 40 per cent of our students are not from Kano and more than 22 per cent of our student are from Southern part of the country.” He called on other eminent Nigerans with wealth to emulate Dangote and contribute to the education advancement of the nation as a way boosting the country’s economic development pointing out that “if Nigeria is blessed with two of Alhaji Dangote, Nigeria will witness unprecedented economic boost in terms of job creation, employment and poverty reduction.” Information had it that Dangote is building a similar business school in the University of Ibadan and would be commissioned anytime soon. The one in BUK has been completed and awaiting commissioning. It is a modern Business School comprising auditoriums, lecture theatres, offices, classes, library, and complete electrical fittings and cooling system, among others[myad]
President Muhammadu Buhari sitting at the AU Submit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
President Muhammadu Buhari has drew the attention of his fellow African leaders to the greatest evil corruption represents on the continent. He said that corruption threatens the security, economy and progress of every country on the continent. Speaking today, Sunday when he formally launching the African Anti-Corruption Year 2018 during the Opening Ceremony of the 30th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, the President declared: “Corruption is indeed one of the greatest evils of our time. Corruption rewards those who do not play by the rules and also creates a system of distortion and diversion thereby destroying all efforts at constructive, just and fair governance.” Speaking as the Champion of the theme of the 30th AU Summit, namely, “Winning the Fight against Corruption: A Sustainable Path to Africa’s Transformation,” President Buhari expressed gratitude to his African colleagues for entrusting him with such a noble responsibility. He pledged to do his best “to ensure that the anti-corruption agenda will receive the attention it deserves and make the impact we all hope for, during 2018 and beyond.” President Buhari said that Africa has made some significant strides in enacting legal and policy frameworks such as the African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption (AUCPCC) to address the vice, adding that the desired impact had been lacking. “Fifteen years after the adoption of the African Union Convention, 2018 provides a good starting point to take stock of progress made so far, assess what still needs to be done and devise new strategies to address new corruption challenges.” According to President Buhari, in spite of sustained economic growth on the continent for the past two decades, “public confidence has been eroded by a focus on short-term priorities and payoffs, propelled by corruption, which too often leaves projects uncompleted and promises unfulfilled.” He identified other negative effects of corruption as, posing a real threat to national security; eroding the development of a universal culture of good governance, democratic values, gender equality, human rights, justice and the rule of law. In tackling bribery and corruption, the Nigerian leader said the crucial place of strong institutions cannot be over-emphasised. “A Judiciary which stands firm against arbitrariness and injustice by the executive is a vital pillar in the anti-corruption fight. As leaders, we must build synergy between the Executive, Legislative and Judicial arms of government in order to entrench good governance, transparency and accountability. “Strong institutions are a necessary condition in any society which aims to fight corruption. In building strong national and regional institutions, we must adequately empower our national anti-corruption agencies and insulate them from political influence. We have to encourage increased institutional collaboration between Law Enforcement Agencies and anti-corruption Agencies in order to win this fight.” Justifying further the imperative to defeat the evil which corruption represented, President Buhari said: “It is evident that Corruption has a devastating impact on marginalized communities especially the youth, women and children. Corruption breeds unequal societies, renders vulnerable groups prone to human trafficking, as well as recruitment into armed groups and militia. In effect, corruption deprives our young citizens of opportunities to develop meaningful livelihoods.” He listed his priorities in the campaign against corruption in 2018 to include, organising African Youth Congresses against Corruption “in order to sensitise and engage our youth in the fight against corruption; mobilising AU member states to implement the extant legal framework on corruption; and canvassing for the strengthening of the criminal justice system across Africa through exchange of information and sharing best practices in the enforcement of anti-corruption laws.” The President, who called for the strengthening of the AU Advisory Board on Corruption to make it more proactive, also proposed to enlist the support of parliamentarians, women associations, the media, business community, faith-based groups, the youth, educational institutions and traditional rulers among others in the campaign. He said that Africa loses about 50 billion US dollars annually to corruption, even as he advocated greater efforts in addressing the causal relationship between corruption and illicit financial flows. Buhari drew the attention of his colleagues to what he called “the corrosive” role that tax havens and secret jurisdictions play in concealing ill-gotten assets, saying that the continental body must do more to stop the continuous assault on our economic and financial resources by multinationals in collusion with some of our citizens. He stressed that tackling corrupt acts and greed required a reorientation of attitudes and perceptions, adding: “to win the fight against corruption, we must have a CHANGE of mind set.” He reminded his fellow African leaders that the honourable campaign against corruption will not be an easy task because as “corruption does fight back.” He advised them to remain firm and resolute. The Nigerian leader, who said that he was inspired to champion the campaign against corruption by the commitment, encouragement and support of his colleagues, said: “in Nigeria, we have gone far into the implementation of our CHANGE Agenda, which is primarily aimed at fighting corruption.” President Buhari also reiterated Nigeria’s abiding commitment to the fight against corruption “today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.”[myad]

I agree with former President Olusegun Obasanjo that Nigeria needs to be rescued from the “misgovernance guillotine” of the APC and the PDP.
Nigeria’s foremost business magnate and President of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has completed a N1.2 billion structure for running of business school in Bayero University, Kano (BUK).
