Chibok girls now living in Bunkers - Borno Governor says

The Governor of Borno state, Kashim Shettima says there are indications that missing Chibok girls might be living in Bunkers in Sambisa Forest with Boko Haram members. He called on the military to liberate the girls as they carry out their operations in the forest. The Governor gave the indication in a paper he wrote and was presented by the Secretary, Borno Elders Forum, Dr Bulama Mala at a two-day post election conference on security and governance, organized  the GubioSavanna Centre, a Non Governmental Organisation, NGO, in Abuja yesterday May 19th. What he wrote after the cut..

"We are suspecting that Chibok girls are living with the insurgents in bunkers. I think the military must carry out their operations beyond the surface earth. They (Boko Haram) were also known to have dug tunnels to enable them move from house to house. So, having been left unchallenged for such a long time, such possibility cannot be ruled out which poses serious obstacles within the forest. The insurgents used their bases in the Sambisa Forest to launch deadly attacks and make quick retreat to their base which enabled them capture and take over control of all the local government areas bordering Nigeria with Cameroon, Chad and Niger, thus effectively cutting off the three neighbouring countries thereby declaring what they assumed was their independent territory (caliphate). Unless and only if the Sambisa Forest is effectively recovered from the  terrorists shall we think of defeating the Boko Haram and begin to embark on a holistic approach for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the North East. In fact, at several stages the Borno State Government had intervened to reconstruct destroyed schools, health centres, homes, markets and so on, only for the insurgents to attack and destroy them again."he said

Goodluck Jonathan and The Many Blows He Suffered

For a section of the PDP to go around blaming Adamu Muazu for Goodluck Jonathan’s defeat in the March 28, 2015 election is proof that this body of mainly men and women who have no honor may also be proving itself to be a collection of people who have no brains. GEJ died of a thousand self-inflicted blows and Adamu Muazu is just the fall guy. A review of GEJ’s atrocities against the interest of Nigeria and Nigerians will confirm that to any fair minded person. 

PDP is in dire need of a savior to save it from itself during these difficult days before it applies petrol to an already raging inferno. Somebody needs to let PDP know that Goodluck Jonathan lost his re-election bid because he was incompetent, pure and simple.

To believe that anyone could have convinced Nigerian voters to re-elect a man who demonstrated on numerous occasions that he was not good enough to be a local government chairman is the classic definition of insanity. 

Goodluck Jonathan lost the 2015 presidential election long before Adamu Muazu became the chairman of PDP in January 2014 and the candidate himself knows that. But as always, he was still hopeful of remaining in office because he planned to rig the elections and did not anticipate the emergence and devastating role that Mohamadu Jega and his card readers will play in shaping the electoral future of the sleeping giant called Nigeria. He also under estimated the anger of Nigerian voters. 

I must disclose at the very beginning that I am a Mohamadu Buhari supporter and an APC sympathizer. I have no likeness or sympathy for PDP and have done the little I could to see its implosion since 1999. So it is really therapeutic to be witnessing the ongoing bickering and allocation of blame among its shameless and corruption tainted leadership, given the heartache, stress and loss of hope and ambition that they bombarded us with since 1999. 

As implied at the beginning I am not a member of the APC. I am a Nigerian committed to good leadership and I do not care where it comes from. I am happy that Buhari has been elected but I am quite aware that a viable opposition is needed to prevent the APC from running amok the way PDP did. To this end it is important that PDP does not go into extinction and should be strong enough to form an alliance with smaller parties that will constitute a viable opposition to the APC. Consequently, it becomes imperative for someone outside the PDP who is not bamboozled by its grand illusion of an entitlement to re-election to tell the truth to its face. 

PDP’s illusion does not only demonstrate its inability to analyze its actions and take corrective measures, it also shows its disrespect and disdain for Nigerian voters and their ability to identify and vote for candidates who will make their lives better notwithstanding the billions of stolen public funds that the PDP spent on a sickening campaign/propaganda aimed at painting their opponents black and confusing the voters at a time when it should have concentrated on issues that are of importance to the electorates. 

I am not here to defend Adamu Muazu nor can he get me to defend him because in an ideal political environment the man who became the chairman of PDP in January 2014 ought to have been a couple of years into a long jail term for stealing billions belonging to the poor people of Bauchi state, and only hearing about political developments in jail rather than been tapped to become the chairman of PDP and lead it into the 2015 general elections. That GEJ tapped Muazu to become the chairman of PDP and lead it into the elections demonstrated his incompetence when it comes to putting the right people in the right positions, a trait he demonstrated throughout his regrettable presidency. I will return to the issue of Muazu later in this article and what role, if any, self-preservation may have played in the way he handled the presidential campaign on behalf of PDP in the days just before the elections. 

Way back in 2010 it was not Muazu who made the decision to settle Turai Yar Adua and her family to the tune of two billion naira upon the death of her husband, Umaru Musa Yardua, despite all the money that she and her collaborators stole while her husband was sick and in hospital in Saudi Arabia. Nigerian voters remembered this financial recklessness during the 2015 election and punished GEJ for it. 

Way back in late 2010 when GEJ entered into an alliance with the north to run for only one term and let a northerner run on PDP platform in 2015, it was not Muazu who made that decision. As much as I disapprove of allowing anyone to run for the presidency on the basis of where he/she comes from rather than competence, GEJ alienated many of PDP’s traditional supporters in the north of the country when he reneged on that agreement. The leadership and the voters from that part of the country remembered this “breach of trust” during the 2015 elections and punished GEJ for it. 

When GEJ was dancing “owambe” as the people of northeastern Nigeria were left helpless in the face of Boko Haram onslaught under the mistaken belief that “they are killing themselves,” I do not think he consulted Muazu over a decision that was both demonstrative of his incompetence and provincial credentials as the leader of a nation as diverse as Nigeria. When the fear of losing the 2015 elections finally forced GEJ into action against Boko Haram and the people of the North East saw that Boko Haram could be curtailed they remembered the hell thy have been put through, the loved ones and properties they have lost and voted against GEJ. There was nothing Muazu could do about it! GEJ was reaping the rewards for his unpreparedness to lead Nigeria. 

When Deziani Allison-Madueke, NNPC and their private sector collaborators cheated Nigerians out of trillions of naira in fuel subsidy Muazu was nowhere near the PDP chairmanship. GEJ thanked the voters for re-electing him (assuming he actually won the 2011 elections) by raising the price of petrol and thereby taking sides with the fuel subsidy scammers. While Nigerians have borne the brunt of the price increase from day one those who stole the trillions and plunged ordinary Nigerians into increased expenditure were wining and dining with GEJ. Till today no one is in jail for the theft of trillions of naira. Not even one of the cases is close to trial. The Nigerian voters remembered this during the 2015 elections. Adamu Muazu could not do anything about it – he does not have the ability to afflict Nigerian voters with amnesia!

When Stella Oduah spent about $1.4 (at the then exchange rate) to buy two unneeded armor plated BMW’s that could be purchased in the open market for less than $400,000 Muazu was not the person who shielded the minister from prosecution. It was GEJ. As if shielding her from prosecution was not enough, GEJ ensured that she was nominated to represent PDP as a senator. Oduah’s people may have voted for her, other Nigerians remembered the shielding and insult-on-injury nomination during the 2015 elections. There was nothing Muazu could do about it. They punished GEJ for it! 

When the then governor of the central bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, raised the alarm about the missing $20 billion and GEJ decided to fire and humiliate him out of office while those who allegedly perpetrated the fraud kept their job’s Muazu was not the person making the decisions. It was GEJ and when it came election time the voters directed their anger at GEJ during the 2015 elections.

GEJ knew or out to know that the votes from the Niger Delta alone were not enough to give him even a quarter of Nigeria’s presidency if there was anything like that and yet he allowed people like Edwin Clarke, Mr. Oritsejafor (I do not consider him a pastor), Asare Dokubo and others to threaten war on other Nigerians if they did not re-elect him, Muazu was not the one who failed to call these elements to order. At those crucial moments and throughout his presidency GEJ conducted himself as if he got into office through the votes of Niger Deltans only. Well, the voters who were dared to reject GEJ and face the consequences did just that during the 2015 elections. 

And I dare say Edwin Clarke, Oritsejafor, Asare Dokubo and company will fade into oblivion, hopefully after returning their loot. Buhari and the Nigerians who voted for him are capable of taking them on if they continue in their grand illusion. They talk of a conspiracy to get GEJ out of office as if every election is not a conspiracy. If they knew GEJ needed other Nigerians to get re-elected how come they were riding roughshod over the same Nigerians? Hopefully others will learn from this nonsense. 

When Nigeria was losing approximately 440,000 barrels of oil a day or 20% of the daily oil production to those who were receiving billions in federal payments to stop the same crime it was not Muazu’s responsibility to call them to order. It was GEJ’s but what did he do? He closed his eyes while the nation bled in the face of excruciating global economic difficulties. On March 28, 2015 Nigerians voted for a leader who will stop the theft of their resources.

When GEJ’s wife constituted herself into a nuisance and Nigerians complained it was not Muazu’s job to call her to order. It was GEJ’s but just like he abdicated every responsibility attached to his office while enjoying the perks, he buried his head in the sand along with his fedora hat and played the ostrich. The traders who lost millions because Lagos roads had to be closed because of her uninvited visits remembered these assaults during the 2015 elections and voted for a candidate whose wife’s presence in their city will not constitute a nuisance and threat to their businesses and survival. 

When Nigerian banks and their controlling officers robbed the banks of deposits running into trillions and threatened the security of the banks and the economy and forced the country to spend trillions stabilizing these banks while the thieves flew around the world in private jets, GEJ was the one parading himself as the president, not Muazu. Come 2015 elections Nigerians voted for a man who will not treat Jim Ovia, Tony Elemelu, Cecilia Ibru and others as the adult terribes of Nigeria’s banking industry but one who will treat them as common thieves in possession of billions of dollars of our commonwealth that should be returned forthwith. Before they go up in temper tantrums I challenge them to match the growth in their wealth with proof of their income tax payments over the years. No backdated payments please! I hope Buhari will ask for these tax returns from all those “boys” who are too happy to be on Forbe’s list of billionaires. The rubber must be made to meet the road!

When government officials and dubious businessmen in Nigeria created the fastest growing market for private jets in the world, Muaza was not the one hosting them. It was GEJ. When Aso Rock voted N1Billion for food at a time when the average Nigerian was living on less than $1 dollar a day, GEJ was in charge, not Muazu. When Deziani Allison-Madueke constituted herself into an empress and spent N10Billion servicing an aircraft at a time when Nigerians were dealing with excruciating economic conditions, Muazu was not the president. GEJ was. At a time when contractors collected billions in payments and just disappeared without even pretending to do the jobs, GEJ was the president, not Muazu. Voters remembered all these atrocities during the elections and duly punished the Ali Baba. It is now up to the president-elect to make sure that the forty thieves all end up where they belong – Kirikiri Maximum Security Jail – with hard labor.

When a minister tricked hundreds of thousands of unemployed Nigerian graduates into paying to apply for non-existent immigration jobs and tens of them lost their lives in a shabby nationwide screening exercise, the person Nigerians called upon to order a refund of the application fees was GEJ, not Muazu. As always, GEJ sided with the thieves, they kept the billions and over 750,000 applicants were out there angry. They laid ambush for GEJ and on March 28, 2015 they finished him off. Should anyone be surprised? It is my hope that Buhari will order the immediate refund of the application fees once he assumes office. 

The list continues and the above enumerated represent a drop in the bucket in terms of GEJ’s atrocities against the people of Nigeria. 

Now back to the 2015 PDP presidential campaign, Adamu Muazu’s role in it and the others who finally made GEJ’s dream of political humiliation come true. At a time when serious observers of political developments in the country were coalescing around the view that the emergence of APC in 2013 and the possibility of a Mohamadu Buhari candidacy will result in a presidential election that will center on the winning candidate’s ability fight corruption, GEJ went and appointed a man, Adamu Muazu, who was under investigation for the theft of N19.8 Billion from the Bauchi State coffers. As if that was not enough, he followed it up by appointing as the spokesperson of his campaign, Femi Fani-Kayode, another shady and unbalanced character facing federal fraud charges for defrauding the Aviation Ministry. 

There is a Bini parable that if your wife is accusing you of cheating on her, the last place you want to be seen going into is Ugbague – Ugbague is the area in Benin City, Edo State where anyone one can go pick up a prostitute for pay. At a time when the specter of a Buhari candidacy that will be launching anti-corruption tomahawk missiles at GEJ was looming like the sword of Damocles over the political landscape and Nigerians were showing signs of wear and tear over the effects of corruption on their lives, GEJ allowed a shady character under investigations to lead his campaign and another one to be its spokesperson. Does this show evidence of a man who was serious about leveling with Nigerians and getting them to vote for him? I will let you decide! 

When vuvuzelas Ayo Fayose and company where advertising the potential death of candidate Buhari, a retired general and former head of state, and calling him unprintable names, they were doing GEJ’s bidding, not Muazu’s. When GEJ’s wife who is not even deserving of having her name mentioned here constituted herself into a nuisance and was insulting candidate Buhari what did GEJ do? He supported his wife. Who was it who ran around the country like a headless Christmas chicken distributing bribes in dollars, putting pressure on the local currency and partly forcing its devaluation and further making lives difficult for Nigerians, GEJ it was. 

Adamu Muazu is a man under investigation for a huge fraud running into billions. He could very well end up doing a long jail term under Buhari’s government. He had every reason to want GEJ to win because that was the only way he could remain free and GEJ may have appointed him PDP chairman for this reason as he had a way of putting the corrupt under investigation and then getting them to do his bidding. So the man Muazu could not have logically envisaged or supported a Buhari presidency. However, when it became clear that GEJ was determined to lose the election by constituting himself into Buhari’s best spokesperson because of the implicating answers he gave to answers, Muazu may have, out of self-preservation decided not to antagonize a potential Buhari presidency by not joining the other attack dogs like Ayo Fayose and Olusegun Mimiko. 

When you look at a lot of the governors and other officials who could not deliver their constituencies to GEJ, they are mainly people who are either going to jail for stealing public funds or other malfeasance or be made to cough out the money in one way or the other. One is therefore forced to ask why they would want Buhari to win? The truth is that the card readers gave voters voice and they whipped GEJ’s backside. According to Buhari “it was not the first time you (v0ters) voted for me, it is the first time they have allowed the votes to count.” Uum! 

As corrupt as GEJ’s government was going into the elections it had no contingency plan to deal with Buhari’s anticipated anti-corruption onslaught. Honestly, it did not surprise me because until the last minute (remember the Orubebe drama at the collation centre?) GEJ and PDP had plans to rig the elections. He made a lame attempt to defend himself against numerous charges of corruption and peddled a record of job creation that even Harry Houdini would have been scared to conjure up. He commissioned electricity generating plants that had no gas supply. To Nigerians, GEJ and his government became chronic and irredeemable liars going into the elections. 

APC is not a party of saints but the difference is that the presence of Buhari in their midst and his preparedness to punish even his children for transgression will bring sanity to it. Moreover, it has not had one out of the 16 years PDP had in power. Nigerians are prepared to take a chance on the unknown because the known has become too toxic. For PDP, the rot was crying up to the high heavens. After 16 years of sheer arrogance of power and impunity, every kind of criminal imaginable had risen to a position of authority under PDP. The party never talked about corruption, it never talked about actual performance, it had no internal disciplinary machinery in place, and was not beholden to anyone, including the voters. 

GEJ’s defeat in the 2015 presidential elections was just rewards for his incompetence and betrayal of the Nigerian people. To be fair to GEJ, he was just not prepared for the job and he admitted that much to the Americans in the cables that were released by Wikileaks. Although he should not have even found himself anywhere near Aso Roack, I think Obasanjo got him into the vice-presidency believing that he would have time to learn and prepare but Yar Adua’s untimely death changed the equation.

In order to survive the ongoing implosion and remain a viable opposition party, the PDP must immediately start to speak the language that Nigerians want to hear. The language of transparency, honesty, anti-corruption, accountability and competence. The lies and fabrications will no longer fly with Nigerians. To this end I think Oliseh Metu, Adamu Muazu, Femi Fani-Kayode and the other leaders of the party should be asked to go not because they cost GEJ the election because they did not; but because they have become the face of the sleaze called PDP. Their presence irritates Nigerians. You cannot be erecting a foundation based on honesty and accountability and then hire crooks as bricklayers and foremen. A word is enough for the wise.

Presidency and the Looming Constitutional Crisis In Rivers

The last may not have been heard about the political crisis in Rivers State. The election in that state was adjudged one of the most controversial by both local and international observer groups. After all the violence and acrimony, calm may not be in sight yet. 

Not soon. There are those who felt that all the commotion came to an end with the controversial emergence of Chief Nyesom Wike of the PDP. Although the rival APC has challenged the result of the polls in the state election petitions tribunal, there is yet another dimension to the brouhaha... 

The planned swearing-in of the governor-elect come May 29 may not happen as smoothly as expected. Unless things take a different turn, the statutory judicial officers empowered by the constitution to administer the oath of office may not be available to do so. This is because the appointment of the current Chief Judge of the state, Justice P.C. Agumagu, is a subject of litigation and until the pending cases are resolved, he or any other person cannot perform such a function.

Now, let us take a glimpse at the complexity of the issues at stake. The appointment of the Chief Judge of a state is a constitutional issue and under the 1999 Constitution, four institutions are involved, namely: The Judicial Service Commission, the National Judicial Council, the Governor and the state House of Assembly. When the immediate past Chief Judge of Rivers State retired on August 20, 2013, Agumagu was appointed in an acting capacity and later duly sworn in as the substantive Chief Judge. However, the National Judicial Council kicked against his appointment citing reasons of seniority and later suspended him as a judicial officer on March 26, 2014. That suspension is also a subject of another litigation.

Let us assume for the sake of argument that the issues raised by the National Judicial Council are valid. It is possible that the Governor of Rivers State in performing his duties innocently but inadvertently did not follow due process. Even if Agumagu is not the most senior judge in the state as claimed by the NJC, no one can say so until it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Even if the NJC decides to reverse the suspension of Agumagu, as a judicial officer, he or anyone will not be able to perform any duty under the law until all the outstanding court cases are resolved. It therefore means in my view that Agumagu remains the Chief Judge of Rivers State even though he is under suspension currently. The central issue here is that no other individual can be appointed to take his position until these matters in court are sorted out.

With the handover date just by the corner, there is a clear stalemate starring Rivers people in the face. The outgoing Governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Amaechi, has publicly expressed his disposition to a smooth transition and handover. However, the situation is not as simple as it looks. He may not be able to do this successfully in the midst of these legal landmines. Who will swear in the incoming governor into office? Some opinion leaders suggest that a Chief Judge from another state can be specially invited to perform the oath administration on the incoming governor. Others insist that the office of a Chief Judge is a clear jurisdictional issue. That is to say that such a role is limited to a particular jurisdiction. For instance, when someone is appointed as a Chief Judge of Anambra State, as soon as he crosses over from Uli in Anambra State to Mgbidi in Imo State, he cannot perform such a role. At best, such persons can function as a village chief not as a judicial officer.

With these realities on the table, it is important that supporters of the incoming government and those of the outgoing government must come to some form of agreement to explore a way out of this logjam. I have heard that the PDP led incoming government is contemplating invoking a sort of doctrine of necessity. But who will do so? Is it the state House of Assembly that is currently dominated by members of the ruling APC? Will the National Assembly intervene as it did during the failed impeachment effort? Will the incoming PDP leaders in the state simply break into the Government House? What will be the response of the incoming administration?

It seems that Rivers State will be in the spotlight again in the coming weeks as what looks like a constitutional crisis looms. No one knows how things will turn out but what is certain is that this may be the first test on the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari. Will he have the courage to protect the constitution against any form of abuse? In case an action is taken in Rivers State that runs contrary to the stipulations of the constitution, will the President-elect declare a state of emergency in Rivers? Will the Independent National Electoral Commission conduct a fresh election? What are the implications of all of these on the ordinary people in Rivers State and the already fragile security situation in the state? Was this path of convoluted legal fireworks avoidable? Is this a case of a poisoned chalice of Wike starring him on the face? Many observers are curious how the events will turn out. We can only watch from the sidelines.

Kidnappers abduct security guard's wife,demand N10m

Zara Mohammed,27, a full-time house wife and a nursing mother ,left her home at Dolphin Estate, dressed gorgeously to attend her friend’s baby naming ceremony at Ijeh barracks, little did she know that she would be mistaken for a millionaire’s wife and kidnapped on her way back home by a woman who offered her a ride at the entrance to her Estate.

Crime Guard gathered that the victim, who relocated to Lagos after she got married to her husband in Maiduguri in 2010, had two children including a six-month-old baby before she was kidnapped.

Narrating his wife’s ordeal after her release, Mr. Mohammed, told Crime Guard that on April 25, 2015, at about 2pm, she left their house located at Corporation drive, 189b, Dolphin Estate, to attend a friend’s child naming ceremony at Ijeh barracks. According to him, that was the last time he heard from her.

 “After waiting till 10pm, and she didn’t return, I called her line but it was switched off. I went to the venue of the naming ceremony.

“Unfortunately, it was dark and I could not locate the place. The next morning, I went back and was able to locate the house of the celebrant. Surprisingly, my wife’s friend, the host of the ceremony, told me that she attended the ceremony but left almost immediately after giving her baby a gift. She, however, took me to some other friends’ houses to see if my wife had passed the night there but, it was an exercise in futility as none of them had any clue about her whereabouts. At last, I went to Dolphin Estate Divisional Police station to report that my wife was missing.

“The following day, I received a call from a number that claimed they had kidnapped her and requested that I should bring N10 million ransom to Allen bus stop at Ikeja, Lagos. I told them that I wanted to speak with my wife to be sure that they actually kidnapped her. It was then I asked her how she got kidnapped. She said it was when she was returning from the naming ceremony that she was kidnapped . While she was still talking with me, the line went off. I tried severally to call back but it was switched off.

“When I realised that it was a kidnap case, I notified the police who transferred the case to the State Criminal Investigations Department, Panti,Yaba, Lagos, for further investigation. On April 27, 2015, the kidnappers called me with my wife’s number and I told them I won’t be able to raise that amount because I am a security man in Dolphin Estate with a monthly salary of N20,000. Immediately, the phone went dead.

“Few days later, I was shocked to see her in our house in Lagos. It was then that she narrated what actually happened to me.”

 This is her story.

” I was on my way back to the house and when I got to the entrance of the estate, a woman driving a red Gulf car stopped and asked if I was going into the estate and I said yes. She then offered to give me and two other men who were also at the entrance, a ride. I accepted the gesture and boarded the vehicle because the driver was a fellow woman and I didn’t suspect any danger because she looked so innocent and harmless little knowing that the two men were her partners in crime.

“As soon as we boarded the car, one of the men used a white handkerchief to cover my face and then I became unconscious. When I regained consciousness, I found myself in a room with my hands and legs tied. Inside the room I met a woman who alleged she was abducted with her daughter. She complained that since they kidnapped them, she hasn’t seen her daughter. Two days later, they took her away and I was left alone in the room.

“The next day, they called my husband and requested for N10 million ransom. After they finished talking with my husband, they gave me the phone to speak with him. I was still explaining to him in our dialect what happened when they took the phone from me and switched it off. The next day, they called him with my phone but they didn’t allow me to speak with him. While there, I was given a plate of rice to eat and pure water to drink.

“A week later, I was dumped in a farm after they realised that my husband, a mere security man, could not pay the amount they demanded. I couldn’t move because of my tied legs. All I could do was to cry and shout to alert anyone nearby. I was in the bush crying when a Good Samaritan heard my voice and came to my rescue. He asked me what happened and why my hands and legs were tied. I told him that some people kidnapped me on my way to Dolphin Estate and he asked, Dolphin Estate in Lagos? I said yes. It was then he told me that I was in Lokoja,Kogi State and not Lagos. That was when I realised how far away I was from Lagos.

“He untied me and then took me to the nearest motor park where I would board a vehicle to Lagos. He paid N2000 to the driver as my transportation fare and explained to the driver and other park officials what had happened to me.”

The traumatized husband told Crime Guard, “I thank God for rescuing my wife from the hands of kidnappers. But ,the problem right now is that since her release, she behaves abnormally. I don’t know what her abductors did to her. She acts funny and very different from herself. I have concluded plans to take her to my home town in Borno State for proper medical treatment,”he stated.
