The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has expressed shock over the death of the foremost Igbo leader, High Chief Mbazulike Amechi.
MASSOB stated that Ndigbo had lost a fearless and eloquent leader, a national peacemaker and a father.
In a statement signed by its National Director Of Information, Comrade Edeson Samuel, the organisation described Amechi as a visionary leader and lover of the Igbo nation.
MASSOB further called on President Muhammadu Buhari to grant the last wish of Chief Mbazulike by releasing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu without further delay.
Part of the statement read: “Ndigbo has lost a fearless and eloquent leader, a National peacemaker, a hero, a selfless leader and a father.
“MASSOB described him as a visionary leader and lover of the Igbo nation. He was Nigeria’s first Aviation minister and a prominent member of the Zikism movement; a Biafra General, MASSOB and Biafrans, in general, mourn his demise.
“His fatherly advice, admonishments and roles he played in the fight for the emancipation of the Igbo nation can never be forgotten by Ndigbo and the world at large.
“Chief Mbazuluike Amechi was a true son of Igbo land. It is more painful that his last wish of releasing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was yet to be granted by General Muhammadu Buhari led APC federal government of Nigeria.
“MASSOB is calling on General Buhari to grant the last wish of Chief Mbazulike by releasing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu without further delay because that was his last wish.”
Parents of 39 children who were abducted by bandits while working on a farm in the Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State have pleaded with the government to come to their aid.
The bandits, on Sunday, according to a source, in their large numbers invaded the farm where the children were working.
According to the source, Mairuwa community was the worst hit in the attack by the bandits. He explained that the terrorists started shooting sporadically when they (bandits) surrounded the farm.
The source added that N1miilion was paid to the bandits as levy before mobilizing the children by a representative of the farm, explaining that most of the adults working on the farm with the children were able to escape during the attack.
The source said, “They demanded N3m from the owner for him to be able to harvest his produce, he gave them N1 million as part payment and decided to begin the work before completing the money, but unfortunately the bandits did not accept that. In our village, Mairuwa, alone we have 33 among the victims including young ladies who are due for marriage.” He stated that the owner of the farm is a Funtua resident, but his representative is residing in Mairuwa village, saying that as he speaks, the bandits have used the cell phone of one of the victims to call demanding a ransom of N30 million.
He added that they (bandits) said they were at the farm to abduct the owner or his representative, stressing that since they could not meet either of them, they decided to kidnap those working for them. SP Gambo Isah, the police spokesman in Katsina, assured that there was an ongoing effort by the police to rescue the victims with synergy with the state government and other security agencies. It was also gathered that six of the victims regained freedom on Tuesday.
The Deputy Director of Bola Tinubu Campaign Organisation, Adams Oshiomhole, has claimed that Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will actually relocate to Dubai, alleging that he (Atiku) is comfortable there.
The former Governor of Edo State stated this on Wednesday morning while fielding questions on the Arise Tv morning show.
Oshiomhole was clarifying an earlier statement credited to the vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Kashim Shettima, saying that Atiku would be retiring to Dubai after the 2023 presidential election.
He said that Atiku had a history of relocating to Dubai once rejected.
“Given Atiku’s record of movement, that once he suffers a defeat – it is on record, once he loses an election – he moves to Dubai. And so, he is saying so because we are confident that nothing has changed. Nigeria has rejected him three-four times, and even the best partnership he enjoyed in 2019 with Peter Obi did not deliver him.
“We are confident that, God willing, using the same Nigerian people who had rejected him in the past, they will reject him again. And because once he is rejected, he has a history of relocating to Dubai. That is what the Vice president meant.
“Atiku will actually relocate to Dubai, he has been doing it. He is comfortable there. I hope that the ban on Nigeria does not affect him. Hopefully he will go there,” he said.
The leader of Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Edwin Clark, has claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari breached the constitution by not officially transmitting power to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, before travelling to London, UK for his routine medical check-up.
On Monday, Femi Adesina, the special adviser to the president on media and publicity, announced Buhari’s departure.
He said the president is expected back in the country in the second week of November.
However, there was no mention of whether Osinbajo would be in charge in the president’s absence.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, Clark asked if Buhari is afraid of handing over to the VP.
He said Osinbajo proved his competence while he acted as president in 2017. That was when Buhari was out of the country for over 100 days.
Clark said Buhari’s argument that he can only transmit power when his trip exceeds 21 days is unknown to law.
In 2019, the president said he only needs to handover to Osinbajo if he will be out of Nigeria for over 21 days.
He said this in a counter-affidavit deposed to on his behalf by one Friday Atu.
Atu is a litigation officer in the civil litigation department of the federal ministry of justice.
His affidavit was in response to a suit filed by Inibehe Effiong, a human rights lawyer. Effiong sued the president and the attorney-general of the federation over the failure to hand over power to Osinbajo.
“There is no issue of 21 days and the president cannot import into the constitution what is not there,” Clark said.
“What Section 145 says, is that the president shall transmit to the national assembly, the president of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives, whenever he will be away on medical vacation.
“And in his absence, the constitution empowers the vice president to act as the president. And the word shall is used there. Where does Mr. President get that one from? That one does not exist, except that’s another constitution. I am a lawyer.
“Overseeing of the affairs of the government as acting president is a must. Because the constitution used the word shall which is obligatory. And anything done outside it is unconstitutional and illegal.
“A president’s inability to perform his functions, even for a few hours, mandates such action of transmitting a letter to NASS. This is what is done by any responsible government.”
The PANDEF leader further stated that “the president of Nigeria is constitutionally bound to inform Nigerians, of whatever ailment or disease he is suffering from and for which government money is being spent”.
“Nigerians will understand; he is a human, and that is why the framers of the constitution provided section 145. Unfortunately, up till now, Nigerians do not know how much of taxpayers’ money is being spent on their president,” he added.
The presidency has debunked claims of having a plan to stop the use of the Bimodal Voter Registration System (BVAS) in the 2023 elections.
Presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina who spoke at a policy dialogue organized to mark the 2022 International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists (IDEI) on Tuesday November 1, added that there's also no plan to remove Mahmood Yakubu as chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He said;
“Recently, there was one group that said the chairman of INEC was going to be removed because maybe they didn’t want BVAS.
“How many times has the president spoken about the role of technology in getting him into office?
“He has spoken about it locally, internationally that three times he contested, three times he ended at the Supreme Court because the government of the day will just write results.
“Then he said until technology came and there was permanent voter cards and so it was difficult to write results.
“So, how and why can the same person have issues with BVAS? I saw that group on television, alleging that there was a plan to remove the INEC chairman and the media gave them that opportunity.
“Such things should be treated with contradictions because they don’t make sense, at least not under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has claimed that the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu, does not want to resign because he wants to continue overseeing the party’s finances.
Wike stated this over the weekend at a media parley in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State.
The Governor and his associates have been calling for Ayu to resign, insisting that it is against PDP’s constitution for the national chairman and the presidential candidate to come from the same zone.
Ayu is from Benue (North Central), while the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, hails from Adamawa (North East).
Wike had also accused the PDP national chairman of being “very corrupt” and not being accountable for the money that enters the party’s coffers.
“Why does he not want to resign? He is hoping that Nigerians will donate money to the party so he will superintendent over that money.
“He has already finished the one of N11 billion from the party’s primaries. Account for it, he says it is in the account. Show the public the account. Print out the statement of account of PDP and let the world see how the N11 billion was expended.
“And this is the party that all of us have laboured to take over power from the ruling party that we said has done badly. And then the national chairman will open his mouth to talk about stopping contestants.
“Ayu shouldn’t say so. He tried it in Rivers state. He came to manipulate and try to put some gubernatorial aspirants, but he saw the result. We dealt with him,” Wike said.
