Anti-corruption fight: Will justice be served?
December 20, 2015
FEW
days back, President MuhammaduBuhari, during a visit to Tehran, Iran,
made a revelation that generated seriour interest from the Nigerian
public and even beyond. He stated that many of the people that looted
public treasuries in the government of former President Goodluck
Jonathan had started returning stolen funds to the coffers, adding that
though the gesture was appreciated, it was not a good reason to condone
corruption. According to him, government would commence prosecution of
such people at the appropriate time, as the government was already
gathering evidence against them.
Al-Zakzaky: Poster boy of Iranian revolution in Nigeria
December 19, 2015
BARELY
two weeks after about 22 of its members were allegedly killed during a
procession in Zaria, an attack for which insurgent group, Boko Haram,
claimed responsibility, the Ibrahim Al-Zakzaky-led Islamic Movement in
Nigeria (IMN), widely known as the Shiite, was last Saturday, again, in
the news. And typical of the group, it was for the wrong reason.
Senate and the TSA controversy
December 19, 2015
The
Treasury Single Account (TSA) policy enforced by the administration of
President Muhammadu Buhari from September 15 has been touted as the
saviour for government’s finances. It has been said that the policy
would ensure that the government keeps tabs on its finances and is able
to check the excesses of revenue generating ministries, departments and
agencies (MDAs).

The battle for Ekiti local councils
December 18, 2015
Ekiti
State is set for its first local government elections in about seven
years and the people are currently being primed for the polls billed for
this Saturday, December 19. Already, the state’s electoral body had
expressed its readiness for the polls and with an Ado Ekiti high court
dismissing a suit filed against its composition by the All Progressives
Congress (APC), on Monday, the hurdles against the conduct of the polls
seem to have been removed, pending the appeal promised by the APC.
South-East stakeholders and the agitation for Biafra
December 16, 2015
ANY
narrative, which propounds that Ndigbo cannot prosper within the
Nigeria political landscape is dead wrong as well. Ndigbo as an ethnic
nationality is one of the most prosperous in Nigeria. We are widely
travelled, settled and accepted, hence our investment in Lagos, Abuja,
Port Harcourt, Kano etc.”

ON the election that brought him to power
You would recall that after I won the Ekiti State governorship election, there was this effort to stop me from being sworn in. It generated a lot of controversy, even before and after the election. There was one story of photo-chromic military rigging and all that. You would equally recall that there were four elections after mine: the presidential, National Assembly and state Houses of Assembly elections. They all followed the same pattern even when military men were not enough for the whole country.

HAT is your relationship with your governor in the past few months that you have spent as deputy governor? Would you like to succeed Dr Olusegun Mimiko as his second term in office ends next year?
I want to thank the Almighty God for the privilege of serving the state in the capacity of a deputy governor. Some months after my inauguration, I can only say it has been very challenging and interesting. One feels great working with Mr Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko. He is a leader that develops leaders and for this, I owe him a lot of appreciation.

Bayelsa poll: Small state, plentiful challenges

After the Kogi election
December 14, 2015
LIFE
writes lousy scripts and dispenses rewards in ironic doses. The echoes
of these words reiterated profoundly in various shapes and forms in the
recent governorship election in Kogi State. The act of fate greatly
manifested in the entire election that the whole state will not forget
in a hurry. It has loudly established a fact that of all the factors
that determine leadership anywhere in the world, the act of God seems
the most potent. Though, instructive and dramatic, the almighty God
finally had its way in the final outcome.
