Genocide against IPOB members: Buhari must face ICC, Atiku insist…
Leader of the South East Grand Cohesion Alliance for Atiku, Kenneth Uzumaki Austin has urged the South-east to accept the olive branch offered to the region by Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and some notably reliable Northern leaders.
Austin said the call became necessary in view of the obvious fact that Labour Party candidate Peter Obi lacks the necessary wherewithal to win the elections as well as the strength of solemn pledges made by Atiku which were all endorsed by reputable Northern leaders.
He assured that he was privy to a meeting held in the residence of a Rtd Military General and onetime Minister of Defence in Abuja, at which part of the deal was concluded and ratified.
According to Austin who spoke on the sidelines of a press conference by the Group in Abakaliki, part of the agreements were that Atiku, if elected president, shall within the first 100 days in office, ensure that the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, would be released unconditionally.
This much has been officially confirmed by a former Senate President and the Chairman, Board of Trustees, BoT of the PDP, Adolphus Wabara.The second is that Atiku has promised to work to actualize the dream of an Igbo Presidency by ensuring he hands over to an Igbo successor.
He pointed to Atiku Abubakar’s repeated promises to be a “stepping stone” to Igbo presidency.”One of these affirmations was made by Atiku early this week on Tuesday during the party’s presidential campaign rally in Enugu.This is the third time the PDP candidate would make the promise to Igbos in the South-east.
Atiku first made the promise in September during a zonal conference of the PDP in Enugu.The PDP candidate also made the same promise during his campaign flag off for the South-east region in Awka, Anambra State, in December.Speaking during the rally in Enugu on Tuesday, the former vice-president said he still stood by his words.
Third, he said, is the undertaking by Atiku to cooperate fully in the ongoing ICC investigation and ensure prompt prosecution of the outgoing President Buhari and top officials of his administration like the Attorney General of the Federation, Chief of Army staff, and GOC 82nd Div of the Nigerian Army, for the genocide committed with the Python Dance military operations conducted in the South-east.
“Already the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague is investigating the September 2017 invasion of a community in Abia State by soldiers of the Nigerian Army during a military exercise code-named Operation Python Dance 2 (Egwu Eke Abuo) which would only get the backing and cooperation of government which Atiku has promised.
“In the letter obtained with reference number OTP-CR-413/17 dated March 20, 2018, published by the Sun is the second response by the court to the petitioner, it was confirmed that the military invasion and deaths recorded were already under preliminary examination by the Office of the Prosecutor.
“Part of the letter signed by Mark Dillon, head of the information and evidence unit at the Office of the Prosecutor, read: “Accordingly, your communication will be analysed in this context, with the assistance of other related communications and other available information,” Austin said.
To further prove his point, Austin pointed to a meeting between the Northern Elders Forum and South-east leaders where the NEF chairman, Ango Abdullahi, presented all the terms agreed upon.
Abdullahi, in an interview with the Tribune of February 12, 2023, confirmed this meeting in these words: NEF is still discussing with other stakeholders from other parts of the country who are interested in the elections.
Even today [Thursday], we are having a meeting with the representatives of the Ohanaeze in Abuja.”NEF and Ohanaeze are meeting right now and we don’t know the outcome of their discussion yet,” Austin quoted Abdullahi to buttress his claims.
He concluded by urging the Igbo not to allow sentiments or discontent to hold them back from coming out to vote massively to secure their future based on the promises made by Atiku and the Northern leaders.
“At least Atiku himself has been bold enough to openly declare his position in favour of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, whereas even our kinsman, Obi could not do that publicly. “We, the Igbo should key into this agreement reached and sealed by the North and its leaders by taking full advantage of this window of hope by voting massively for Atiku and ensuring their votes count, ” he said.

Aliero: License To Loot Again

On 25th February 2023, Nigerians will vote in a brand new president in one of the most politically charged scenarios since the return of democracy in 1999. On the surface, it seems like a simple four-horse race being run by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (APC), Atiku Abubakar (PDP), Peter Obi (LP) and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (NNPP). In reality, it is an election that could either substantially stabilize the federation or create more cracks in its unity.The choice of candidates in the coming presidential polls is the widest with 18 parties fielding formidable personalities for the top post. Apart from the aforementioned, contenders include Hamza Al-Mustapha (Action Alliance), Sowore Omoyele (African Action Congress), Umeadi Nnanna (All Progressives Grand Alliance) and Kola M.K.O. Abiola (People’s Redemption Party). However, the real race remains between APC’s Tinubu and the PDP’s Atiku.With 54 per cent of the 94 million registered voters in Nigeria, the North remains the key determinant of the winner of the ballot. Whichever way Northern votes swing, a President is always made but the constitution and even the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria requires alliance with at least one of the Southern regions for a clear victory at the presidential polls. This was clearly demonstrated in the First Republic when the Northern People’s Congress formed government in alliance with the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons and in the Second Republic the National Party of Nigeria aligned with the Southeast and South-south.Now Nigeria is possibly more polarized than at any time in the course of its history even during the civil war. The North-South dichotomy which derived from the 1914 amalgamation remains the fundamental fault-line. Separatists such as the outlawed IPOB and Oduduwa Nation have merely raised the stakes by deploying violence. As in the aftermath of the June 12 1993 electoral crisis, boosting the bridge of unity and cooperation across the River Niger is now a necessity and not an option.In the next fortnight, the North will choose between leveraging its votes to bring a desperate northerner to power or pitching its tents with some southerner who helped to return it to the presidency for the last two consecutive terms. In another dimension, northern voters will decide whether a party that played on the sensibilities of the region by jettisoning power rotation deserves to return to power so soon after a disastrous 16-year reign. In other words, voters in the North will be picking between mine-good-or-bad or the right and moral thing to do.Just as enterprising and industrious categorizes Southerners, intellectual and emotional intelligence classifies Northerners whether Christian, Muslim or even animists. It is not in the Northerner’s character to be selfish and self-serving and it is this sense of justice that has sustained the stability of the Nigerian state since its creation. At independence, the North formed the Federal Government not just by numerical strength but the trust and confidence it enjoyed across other regions.History has once more placed us in a perfect position to test our sense of accommodation and our commitment to truth, justice, equity and fairness. By voting for Tinubu and the APC, the North will be true to its grateful character. It would regain its full respect as a champion of national unity and be in a prime position to negotiate for power in the coming circles. With a win, the nation would also be finally rid of the obnoxious perception peddled by religious bigots that a same-faith ticket cannot work no matter the caliber of the candidates.We must not succumb to the temptation of eating our tomorrow today by denying the South presidency and frittering the solidifying political relations between the North and the Southwest. It is time to prove that we are neither hypocrites nor unjust. Nay sayers do not value trustworthiness, have no hope in the future and aim to obtain instant gratification at cost to citizens and country.We must also dismiss those demonizing the Asiwaju as a certificate forger, serial embezzler and an ethnic chauvinist. Some of these same strident missiles were hurled unsuccessfully against President Muhammad Buhari.Tinubu’s pan-Nigerian passion has been proven throughout his political career. In 1992, he led several aspirants from the Southwest to step down for the late Shehu Musa Yar’adua who won the SDP presidential primaries. In 2007, he offered the presidential ticket of his party to Atiku Abubakar and did same for Nuhu Ribadu in the 2011 presidential polls. His quest succeeded with support for the election of President Buhari in 2015 and 2019.The North now has no better strategy than sacrificing its selfish interest to simply retain power in the region. Furthermore, neither the PDP nor Atiku deserve to be rewarded after their inglorious regime destroyed the fabric, institutions and even the few industries in the region. Voting Atiku also means placing a potential threat to Nigeria’s full integration and progress just a heartbeat away from the Presidency.The 25th February presidential polls are a date with destiny. We must unequivocally elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next President of Nigeria. It is not just the North’s integrity that’s at stake. Our nation’s unity, peace and prosperity may depend on it.

[15/2, 8:52 am] Isaiah Swan: Aliero: Licensed To Loot Again
By Ibrahim Dangana
Senator Muhammad Adamu Aliero, the former two-term governor of Kebbi State and three times senator representing the Central Senatorial District of the State recently won a pyrrhic victory when a split decision of the Supreme Court granted him the PDP’S ticket to contest for the fourth term.However, his return to the Red Chamber via votes remains even more uncertain than ever. He has been in the eye of the storm after allegations emerged that he serially cornered and diverted at least three gigantic constituency projects worth more than one billion Naira.The Senator representing the Central Senatorial District of the State now in his third term in the upper chamber of the National Assembly was alleged to have used his clout to corner the direly needed developments meant for the District to his farm and that of his crony.According to the list of approved Constituency Projects in the 2017 Appropriation Act executed by the Federal Ministry of Water Resources, the projects include the construction of Feeder Road which was awarded to Aliero’s Great Northern International Company (GNIC) at Gante for evacuation of agricultural products from farmlands to towns and cities in Kebbi Central Senatorial District worth N200,000,000.Another project cornered by Senator Aliero was the supply and installation of Central Pivot Irrigation Pumps with sprinklers also in Gante village of Kebbi Central Senatorial District worth #264,000,000.The angst of people in Aliero’s Senatorial District is that Gante village is under Lafagu/Gante ward of Kaoje District in Bagudu Local Government Area of Kebbi State. Aliero’s Labana Farm at Gante is under Kebbi North Senatorial district of Senator Yahaya Abdullahi, the incumbent Senate Majority Leader.The questions on the minds of everybody in the Kebbi Central Senatorial District is how much will be enough to satisfy the Senator and his callous cohorts and when will the dividends of democracy begin to trickle down to the people for whom the projects were meant and who really need them?With the 2023 General Elections just around the corner, the hapless electorate are poised to show Senator Muhammad Aliero the way out. And unless he makes restitution, their next move may be to legally confiscate what rightly belongs to them. Only time will tell. He has been switching from one party to the other. For example, he re-decamped to PDP after spending about a year in CPC in early 2012.. He later moved from PDP to APC in 2014. He and some of his close associates since 1999, like Sani Zauro, who was also former State Chairman of defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) Board of Trustees (BoT) in Kebbi State also quit PDP for APC.Aliero’s futile political peregrinations may best be described by the Hausa adage: ‘shure-shure ba sa hana mutuwa.’ Desperate movements cannot stop death. It is not the court judgement that is important but the counted votes of the people.

GREAT ENDORSEMENT OF REV EMMANUEL OLORUNMAGBA FOR HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BY KABBA CITY COUNCIL OF MINISTERS
It was another giant stride today during the meeting of Kabba City Council of Ministers held in Our Saviour Anglican Church, Kabba as the council of Ministers unanimously endorsed Rev. Emmanuel Olorunmagba as the candidate to vote for House of Representatives, Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency of Kogi State.
After listening to Rev Emmanuel Olorunmagba, and the positive responses from the highly elated Ministers, the Chairman of the council, Ven. S. O. Folorunsho (Rtd) said “before today, we only had Peter Obi to vote as president, we didn’t have candidate to vote for House of Representatives, but you, Rev Emmanuel Sunday Olorunmagba, have been adopted as our candidate for House of Representatives!” The entire pastors happily applauded the assertion.
The pastors present demanded for more copies of ballot specimen indicating how to vote for Rev Emmanuel Olorunmagba of National Rescue Movement (NRM) for Representatives and how to vote for Peter Obi of Labour Party for President. And they promised to take the message to their respective churches, that we need the real righteous in the parliament. Hence, in addition to prayers they said they will add work by mobilizing their circle of influence to vote for Rev Emmanuel and Peter Obi. Adding that it was in those days some people were deceived that politics is of the devil and as some Christians decided to leave politics for the devil, the devil decided to fix his children in positions of power and destroyed the entire system as well as working against the Church.
Pastor Dave Dan who has known Rev Emmanuel for over 30 years testified that the council of Ministers have made the right choice by endorsing Rev. Emmanuel.
Appreciating the Ministers Rev Emmanuel promised quality representatives that everyone who supported him will ever be proud of. And that it’s the time for the rescue mission.

Re: A Man Spends 38 Months Without Salary In Bauchi : Another wild, illegitimate claim
By Sani M. Lawal
I just stumbled on an article purportedly written by a certain Comrade Mashema claiming to speak for one Haruna Ibrahim who the writer said is a Bauchi state civil servant in the Ministry of Environment and Forestry with registration number PSN821312.
The writer said he was pleading on behalf of the said civil servant for the Governor of Bauchi state and relevant organs of government to intervene and facilitate the payment of his salaries withheld for 38 months.After reading the article, several questions jumped into my mind that called for care and caution and above all suspicions of the motive behind the article and of course the writer. Firstly, the writer, essentially obscure, could not have been pleading in good faith as he claimed by choosing the media option and not through direct contact with the officials concerned.
Secondly, the writer, evidently unschooled, went to town without the necessary background check that could have given him a solid ground to lay his claim upon; instead, of achieving the objective he claimed, he ended up dancing stark naked in the market square and exposing himself as one of those hatchet men at hand to do mischief for a fee. In order to avoid the kind of embarrassment Comrade Mashema subjected himself to with his slanted story, I undertook a fact check before venturing this response as a concerned indigene of Bauchi state.First, it does not require any deep search to recall that the Bauchi state government of Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed did indeed set up a committee under Adamu Gumba verification to verify staff strength for consolidation with the state salaries bill in order to sanitize the civil service. Every genuinely concerned indigene of Bauchi is as well aware that the Gumba Committee had concluded its assignment and submitted a report with far reaching recommendations.It was therefore the verification committee that discovered the said Haruna Ibrahim as a non-verifiable staff and suggested appropriate measures including the suspension of payment of his salaries. In that report, the said Haruna Ibrahim was uncleared as he was discovered to be redundant without defined schedule or even a duty post.
The committee also found fault with Haruna’s claim to be attending school which he failed to back up with evidence of official release issued to him at anytime.All these facts, Mashema overlooked in his writeup in an obvious haste to deliver his dubious assignment.It is important to place on record here, that Bauchi State had in a bid to boost the state’s workforce employed over 4,000 new staff, has been paying minimum wage, and has implemented consequential adjustments and implemented financial benfits of all employees that have been promoted since previous administrations. One wonders therefore, how much is Haruna salary’s could be, that the State cannot pay if not for reasons of his been found to be an illigimate staff.
It also beats one’s imagination that Haruna Ibrahim could only find his voice now after 38 months and even that through a proxy who turned out to be unprofessional. If only Haruna Ibrahim and Gulumba, his self-appointed voice were not up to some mischief, they ought to have taken the matter up with the ministry they claimed or the Office of the Head of Civil Service. Finally, alternatively, Haruna ought to have shown decent remorse by humbly apologizing for the detected misdemeanor and seek reinstatement by the State and the Governor rather than going the wrong way of unwarranted blackmail in the media.
(Lawal a bona fide Bauchi indigene, writes from Azare)
OMO AGEGE’S TRUE IDENTITY EXPOSED:
As the race for Delta State Government house is on some hidden facts are been exposed, one of such is the true identity of Senator Ovie Omo Agege.
In the spirit of fairness, justice and equity, it should be the turn of Urobo of Delta Central to produce the next governor of Delta State. And among the frontline contenders is Senator Ovie Omo Agege who claimed to have come from Delta Central.
But fact check by an investigate journalist has exposed that he is not a true Urobo man of Delta Central.
It has been confirmed that he Omo Agege’s mother is Itsekiri from Koko in Warri North. She hails from Nana Olomu linage, she is a sister to Mrs Ayomike the wife of Pa. Ayomike (former Itsekiri leaders of thought chairman).
He (Ovie Omo Agege) lost his mum at a very young age and she was buried in Koko.
Having just served as a Senator and not being an Urobo man whose turn it’s to govern the affairs of Delta State, why then did he Ovie Omo Agege decided to contest as for the position of Delta State governor at this time?
Does it mean that the brotherly spirit of fairness justice and equity is no longer attainable in the political system in Delta State?
Or is a section of Delta State the “born-to-rule” while another zone remains perpetual servant?
The pertinent questions are for the electorates in Delta State to answer through their ballot on the day of the gubernatorial election.
From Richard James, an investigative journalist writing from Warri, Delta State.
