Jonathan, Diri and concerns over November 11

Back in April 2018, I was a guest-by-happenstance of Nigeria’s former President, Goodluck Jonathan, in his Yenagoa home. My very good friend, one of the most professional and most cultivated police officers I’ve ever known, Don Awunah, invited me and a few of his close friends for a function in his honour. Awunah, sadly now of blessed memory, was being hosted by the Benue community in Bayelsa State, following his deployment to the riverine state as Commissioner of Police. Tivlumun Nyitse, seasoned media practitioner and communications scholar through whom I first met Awunah and Godwin Donkor a former top official in the Benue system, were also on the trip. As we threw banters one of those evenings on that weekend, Awunah received a call from Jonathan who wanted to know when he could have a meeting with the police boss. “Straightaway, Your Excellency,” Awunah replied as he beckoned to us to come along.

The former President received us very warmly and invited us to take our seats as Awunah introduced us to him one after the other. The departed top cop placed immense value on friendships and relationships and was always proud to flaunt his friends. After the initial pleasantries, Awunah asked Jonathan if they could talk in a more private space. The erstwhile Numero Uno, however, said he felt sufficiently comfortable with Awunah’s “entourage” of people who have savoured requisite, strategic public service experience, at the highest levels. I was a presidential aide in the Olusegun Obasanjo/Atiku Abubakar regime for instance, while Nyitse retired from the Benue State bureaucracy as a Permanent Secretary, grossing over a decade in the position. Donkor had been local government chairman and Special Adviser in his state as well.

Discussions quickly gravitated towards issues of national security with the imminence of the 2019 general elections. Jonathan expressed concern about the “proliferation of arms in the hands of non-state actors” and what this implied for national security. He noted that his administration was vilified over the upsurge of the Boko Haram scourge in the North East of the country. Three years after he left office, however, insecurity had become a nationwide hydra. “Virtually every geopolitical zone is battling with one security peculiarity or the other. Small arms are in the hands of faceless individuals, a miscellany of groups and terrorist organisations,” he stated. The situation, Jonathan warned, must be source of concern for everyone who wished Nigeria well.

Five years after that encounter with the former President, the Governor of Jonathan’s own very state, Duoye Diri has raised similar apprehensions. He spoke at the weekend, at an event hosted at the DSP Alamieyeseigha Memorial Banquet Hall, Government House, Yenagoa. Diri observed that there was credible intelligence to the effect that some persons were amassing dangerous weapons for deployment in the gubernatorial election scheduled for Saturday November 11, 2023. Diri is seeking reelection at the forthcoming poll on the platform of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, (PDP). His closest opponent is Timipre Sylva of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), immediate past Minister of State for Petroleum and also a former governor of the state. The political temperature of the state which prides itself as the “glory of all lands” is on the ascendancy, nearly four months to the poll.

Paraphrasing Jonathan’s favourite expression in the run up to his present reelection bid in 2015, Diri at the Yenagoa programme said “there is no need to shed the blood of innocent people no matter how lowly placed, just because of political contest.” He restated that since the inception of his administration, he has worked assiduously to foster peace and unity amongst the people of the entity. His government he observed has consistently returned affection for disaffection from his opponents, and illumination for opacity. Diri said he will continue to pursue the empowerment of women and youths as a deliberate policy of poverty mitigation. He stated that the poor and suffering masses must not be deployed as pawns and cannon fodder in the name of politics.

Diri’s public revelation about the planned unleashing of arms and violence in the coming poll, echoes the situation in two other states which will be holding governorship elections on the same date. And the security scoresheet of either state is both alarming and worrying. Imo State which venerates itself as the “Eastern Heartland,” and Kogi the “Confluence State” which sits at the very heart of the nation’s geography, do not cover themselves in resplendent attires on the question of insecurity. Imo is in direct contest with its neighbour, Anambra State, for the trophy of the most dreadful in the South East of the country. The state indeed can be classified as the epicentre of “one day, one devastation.” Sample incidents will suffice to authenticate this terrifying trend in the South Eastern state and contextualise popular apprehension about the forthcoming poll.

Ahmed Gulak a former presidential adviser and chieftain of the APC was killed en route Owerri airport abutting the state capital, in May 2021. Two months ago, the traditional rulers of Orsu Obodo Victor Ijioma and Mgbele, two communities in the state were killed by gunmen in Imo State, just as gunmen gunned down five policemen and a couple in Okpala in Ngor-Okpala local government area. Just last month, a former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha was targeted at Amuro in Okigwe council area in the state an incident which claimed the life of a security operative. Okorocha would subsequently inform the world that the killings and pervading insecurity in his former duty post was indeed under-reported. The incidents and downstream indices he noted, elicit collective concern.

At the recent biennial convention of the Nigerian Guild of Editors, (NGE), hosted courtesy of the benevolence of the Imo State government, typically adventurous media practitioners observed linear, straight-line schedules in the course of the programme. In our craft as reporters and writers, creativity is most often activated by the totality of experiences by way of sights, sounds and smells. These are the condiments of the “travelogues” which grow out of such explorations. Not on this Owerri visit, however. The route maps of the visitors were restricted to shuttles between their various hotels to the convention venue and vice versa. Intra-city voyeurism of every kind was kept in check, as the cologne of jitters and fear hung thick and tangible in space.

Primordial Kogi State was famous as an oasis of sanity on account of its serenity and welcoming attributes. Not anymore in recent years as the hitherto totally alien culture of gunboat politics has since supplanted the allure of the state as the haven of calm and quiet. A recent sampler of contemporary political combustion in the state was the gun attack on Murtala Ajaka gubernatorial candidate of the Social Democratic Party, (SDP), by suspected agents of the Kogi State government. A widely publicised interview granted by Yahaya Bello the governor of the state did little to exonerate the Kogi establishment from complicity in the Ajaka episode. The novel bestiality of a helicopter flying over Lokoja the Kogi State capital and raining bullets from the air on people exercising their civic duties during the 2019 governorship poll, remains fresh in popular consciousness.

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan the amazon who has taken the political space in Kogi State by storm in recent years, has been a serial victim of harassment and attacks by alleged enforcers of the Bello government. In the lead to the 2019 governorship election when she ran against Bello on the platform of the SDP, Akpoti-Uduaghan was repeatedly bullied and intimidated. It was not any different during the recent February general elections when she contested for the Senate as a candidate of the PDP in Kogi Central zone. The world still remembers the 2019 savagery with which Salome Abuh, woman leader of the PDP in her locality in Kogi East was burnt alive in her own home by presumed errand boys of the incumbent regime. Such incidents can only elicit goose bumps on the skins of rational beings.

November 2023 may seem distant, especially when considered against the fact that three full months stand between the ongoing month of July and that month of autumn. But days, weeks and months typically grow wings and fly before our very eyes. The concerns raised in the discourse above are very germane. They must compel intelligence and security services to move promptly and design intelligence and operational manuals to contend with these apprehensions. They need to initiate covert interrogations into the leads so provided. Intuitive undercover agents should be despatched to and emplaced in these states to sniff around and provide day-to-day credible intelligence on the home stretch to November elections in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi states. In the past in certain places, deadly weapons have been known to have been warehoused in Government Houses, cemeteries, even silos and such other innocuous storages. This ostensibly was to keep such dare-devilry away from the public eye.

Worthy of note is the fact that the security community deployed on election duty has in the past been fingered in broad-daylight complicity with violators of the sanctity of the ballot. The soundbites echoing from the mouths of the newly appointed security and military chiefs therefore must not be characteristic tough talk and hot air. No. They must resonate in the manner that will signal the gradual return of civility, peace and orderliness to our electoral system, beginning with the November polls. This should signal the fact we can turn the bend from repugnant old electoral misdemeanours, poignantly fingered and reported upon by local and international observers, especially the recent sham elections. We must be seen as capable of the comportment expected of a genuinely evolving democracy in conformity with global best practices.

Is Okowa in a witch-hunt or scapegoat melodrama?

Ifeanyi Okowa

***EFCC perjures itself on Mambilla funds as it unleashes on Atiku’s Running Mate

By Alhaji Ajila Sarafa

The incredulous Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had already detained Mr Ifeanyi Okowa, for two days, over for “N1.3 trillion fraud” and there have been speculations about Okowa’s payments of “N100 billion”, “N40 billion”, N8 billion etc for this and that.
Mr Ifeanyi Okowa is a staunch PDP leader who was previously a Senator of the Federal Republic, a two-term former Delta State governor and was the Running Mate to the PDP Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 elections.

At a press conference on Thursday, 31 October 2024, the EFCC reeled out its achievements in prosecuting “former governors, ministers over N4.92 trillion fraud” and the “successful prosecution of four former governors and two former ministers over the past 12 months under the leadership of its Executive Chairman, Barr. Ola Olukoyede, mentioning high-profile personalities charged like former governors Yahaya Bello (APC) of Kogi State, Abdulfatah Ahmed (PDP) of Kwara State, Willie Obiano (APGA) of Anambra State, and Darius Ishaku (PDP) of Taraba State “for serious allegations involving billions in state funds”.

In what played out like a script of a melodrama to hunt down opposition peoples for real or phantom crimes as offenders or scapegoats or as sacrifices, the EFCC announced at a press conference that the “former Kogi Governor Bello faces charges related to over N190 billion, Ishaku of N27 billion, Ahmed for mismanagement of N10 billion, and Obiano for money laundering and theft of N4 billion.
EFCC also disclosed that it has also charged former ministers Saleh Mamman (APC) and Olu Agunloye (SDP) “for misappropriating funds from the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project of N33.8 billion and $6 billion respectively”.

Everyone should be worried about these crimes towering over N6.3 trillion being committed by less than a dozen men, whether or not they are in the opposition parties to the ruling party or in personal opposition to the current rulers of Nigeria. Are these people the only offenders? Or are these people those who have not heeded the call of one of the National Chairmen of the ruling Party who publicly said, “come to APC and your sins are forgiven”. The former PDP Vice Presidential Candidate, Sen. Okowa is the latest addition to the set of EFCC tagged “financial criminals,” so to say. Is Okowa being witch-hunted or is he liable? However, two things are clearly certain. First, not all the high-profile offenders in Nigeria are in the EFCC net, and second, not everyone in the EFCC net is a financial criminal.

Take the case of Agunloye who was arraigned in January 2024 by EFCC with charges of awarding the construction of the Mambilla Hydroelectric Project, estimated at $6 billion, as a Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) contract in 2003 without any cash backing. He was also charged for “taking bribes of N3.6 million and N500,000 in August and October 2019 respectively for the 2003 contract award”. In fact, for the BOT model of contract, the Federal Government was not to pay to procure the contract. It was the contractor who was expected to invest his own funds to construct and operate the hydroelectric dam as well as sell the electricity therefrom at a predetermined rate for 35 years to recoup his investments and profits. Also, as a matter of fact, FGN never paid the contractor in 2003 and has not made any payment to the contractor till now. The big revelation is that EFCC, on the 31st of October 2024 at a widely covered Press Conference, confirmed that the Federal Government of Nigeria wrongly charged the former minister Agunloye when it disclosed that EFCC also “charged former ministers Saleh Mamman and Olu Agunloye for misappropriating funds from the Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project of N33.8 billion and $6 billion respectively”. EFCC has now admitted that it is prosecuting Agunloye for misappropriating $6 billion which has never existed. What is that? Witch-hunting? Or scape-goating? Or sacrifice-making?

To A VeryDarkMan Who Lights Up A Dark Country, Respect

By Ikeddy ISIGUZO

You can also commit injustice by doing nothing. – Marcus Aurelius

PITCH darkness descends on Nigeria regularly enough that disconcerting as it is, darkness may be a distinguishing Nigerian feature that is not about to go away. Fewer places reflect the darkness, the neglect of the Nigerian society, than the fullsomeness of the energies for dispensation of injustice.

The entry of a young man, 30, more popularly known as VeryDarkMan, is pointing the light to some of the more embarrassingly darkened sides of our justice system. We should be grateful to him for his disruptions.

Without him, the minors who the President, in a rare case of momentary wakefulness, released, would have had their trials continued under a serious charge of trying to overawe the President’s administration. Minors, as they were, sick, hungry, all the traces of their stresses in full view, were put away for 60 days to allow investigations. Their deemed sponsor is out of reach of the law or above it.

The minors harvested from Kano, Adamawa, other States in the North, and Abuja, for waving Russian flag during their agitation against bad governance, and the increasing hardship in the country, were expected to bail themselves with N10 million each, and have senior civil servants guarantee they would not run away. They need N710 million to get out of detention.

The release and acquittal of the 71 teenagers, mostly beggars picked from the streets, to the Kano State government, is said to be a significant victory for human rights. We joke too much, too often. They had been held since August 2024.

Nobody did anything to release them. They had been forgotten. VeryDarkMan’s momentary detention was the opportunity that beamed the light on the dark recesses of Nigeria’s justice administration.

How many others who cannot afford the price of justice are still held illegally? Some minors, some adults?

The police, the Ministry of Justice, the judge, and all the routes that the children passed to jail, ignored the fact the arrested were children.

VeryDarkMan shouted enough that the next time they were in court, pictures and videos of their fainting went viral. They were hungry. They were sick. They were probably knocking on the doors of death.

Marcus Aurelius whose regnal name was Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus, was a stioc philosophy, a Roman Emperor from 161 to 180, a member of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty. He was among the last of the rulers later known as the Five Good Emperors and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, during which there was relative peace, calm, and stability for the Roman Empire from 27 BC to 180 AD.

He expects us to act in the face of a crime or brutal act. If we do not act, Marcus would rate our inaction a form of injustice.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu put it more succinctly. “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor”.

We in different ways failed the minors charged to court in Abuja. They had no business being in jail and undergoing those dehumanising treatments that would stick with them for life. The courts were guilty.

Nigeria failed them particularly those who surround the President. They do too much worsening the public’s perception of the President. Not surprisingly, these same fellows are defending the arraignment of minors.

VeryDarkMan embarrassed them by asking for justice for the children. It was not long before people were questioning VeryDarkMan’s qualifications to dabble into human rights. He told them he had secondary school certificate. It was a disclosure that cut short whatever mischief they intended.

With all their education, their understanding of law and order, our Ministry of Justice easily mixing justice with injustice as they kept those children away for months. Who were they working for? Who do they account to? Is it enough to ask the children to go? With will be done to deter such official misbehaviour?

VeryDarkMan is the light that fights the pitch darkness that has seized the minds of the low and mighty in a mindless show of power, greed of immense dimensions, and the directionlessness that leads a nation that is speeding from one darkness to a worse one.

Who has forgotten the centres of concentric circles of conspiracies that cost Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen, Chief Justice of Nigeria his plum job in 2017. None of the processes were followed. He was passed through the Code of Conduct Bureau, and sacked. The courts are now annulling the judgements.

No whimper was heard from the Senate which was in full session throughout the processes that terminated his appointment. The Senate confirms the appointment of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, who heads one of the three arms of our democratic government. Our neutrality, as Achibishop Tutu would say, convicts us.

There are more judges and higher ranking persons that the targeted injustices of the past and the times are affecting. Justice is far from everyone contrary to thinking that some are safe.

When the unjust act, they are blinded by motives. Justice Onnoghen in a minority, dissenting judgement, annulled the election of Umaru Yar’Adua as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2007. Onnoghen’s judgement voted in support of Muhammadu Buhari. It was the same Buhari that illegally sacked Onnoghen 10 years later.

Nigeria is bound by an uncaring leadership that cannot even care for itself. It is now impossible to stop the national grid from collapsing as if its constant collapse will increase our GDP. The administration unrelentingly feeds the public excuses for the unmitigated failure to supply electricity which is not even cheap.

Are we not expecting too much thinking that an administration that has made a policy of blaming everyone for everything will care for us? The issue is not that it will not – it simply cannot.

Perhaps VeryDarkMan would next beam his light on other abuses of our rights, while Marcus Aurelius still reminds us not to do nothing about injustices whether against us or other people.

Finally…

CHIEF Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the Equatoguinean whose private tapes almost got more attention than the US elections has proven that human beings can make something of anything. Engonga, the head of his country’s National Financial Investigation Agency, ANIF, is also head of the group that produced the thrilling 400 tapes that would have shaken the box office, stands by his story that participants in the tapes were not forced. I have heard several conclusions about the matter that introduced Equatorial Guinea. Not since the 2000 Olympics when Equatoguinean Eric Moussambani Malonga swam the 100 m freestyle on 19 September in a time of 1min 52.72 secs has the country attained monumental global attention. Moussambani had trouble concluding the race, but he set the record for the slowest time for the event. His time was more than twice regular times for the event. I doubt if we will ever know what Engonga did or understand it enough to pass a judgement.

YESTERDAY, Honourable Alexander Ikwechegh, the House of Representatives member for Aba North/Aba South returned to his constituency to share free petrol and kerosine. He no longer needs to apologise for slapping an Abuja uber driver Mr. Stephen Abuwatseya thrice. After waking Nigerians up to another shade of the oppression we face, Abuwatseya has apologised to Ikwechegh and absolved him of any wrong-doing. The cab man even said he should be blamed for provoking the lawmaker. I apologise for VeryDarkMan who the case wings to fly. VeryDarkMan has already apologised to Ikwechegh. Congratulations, Honourable, there is no better time to commence the 2027 campaign than now.

WHAT did Americans do that is shocking Nigerians? Did we not vote for Muhammadu Buhari? Then followed it up with Bola Ahmed Tinubu? If you sequence a Donald Trump-Joe Biden-Trump administration, the dissonance would not be much different from what Nigerians are suffering. The only difference, though, is that America has standing institutions (they ceased to be strong a while ago) that Trump cannot trample on, completely.

THOSE against Senator Remi Tinubu, the President’s wife, and Nuhu Ribadu, National Security Adviser leading national prayers as the elixir for national security and the tough times, in a week that Peter Obi suggested that productive hours should not be invested in prayers, have more work to do. Since we delight in citing foreign examples to support things we want to foist on others, how are these important national policies managed elsewhere?

Governor Okpebholo: A bright Edo beckons

Governor Monday Okpebholo

By Fred Itua

Sophocles, a Greek philosopher and writer in his Play, Antigone, noted: ‘I have nothing but contempt for the kind of governor who is afraid, for whatever reason, to follow the course that he knows is best for the State.
’As Senator Monday Okpebholo assumes office today as the 6th elected Governor of Edo State, Sophocles’ sacred letters ring out loud.
Okpebholo’s emergence as the Governor of Edo State is both symbolic and historic. First, it has eclipsed the long marginalisation of the Esan (Ishan) ethnic group. In the last 33 years, the ethnic group, despite its cerebral population, has only held sway as managers of the State for an infinitesimal period of one year and six months.
Today, Edo people have proven to the rest of the world that everyone in the State matters.
Senator Okpebholo is not oblivious to the enormous tasks ahead of him. He is not also unaware of the damage the eight years of cankerworms and caterpillars Godwin Obaseki ruinously brought upon Edo people. Okpebholo may not have the full grapse of Obaseki’s damage yet. He is, however, ready to change the narratives, notwithstanding.
The emergence of Senator Okpebholo signals a new era of hope, progress, and transformative leadership. Born from humble beginnings, Okpebholo’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and unwavering commitment to service. Despite the financial constraints faced by his family, his parents instilled in him the values of hard work, honesty, and perseverance. These early lessons would shape his character and lay the foundation for his future successes
Upon laying a strong foundation, Monday Okpebholo ventured into the world of business with a bold vision and unwavering determination. Drawing upon his innate entrepreneurial spirit and keen business acumen, he established successful ventures across various industries.
Through strategic decision-making, innovation, and a commitment to excellence, Okpebholo’s businesses flourished, creating jobs, driving economic growth, and contributing to the socio-economic development of Nigeria and Edo State.
Motivated by a desire to effect positive change and uplift the lives of his fellow citizens, Okpebholo transitioned into the realm of politics and public service. Recognising the need for visionary leadership and principled governance, he answered the call to serve his kinsmen and champion the aspirations of the people. As the Senator representing Edo Central Senatorial District, Monday distinguished himself as a principled leader, a tireless advocate for justice and equality, and a voice for the voiceless.
As a Governor, his conviction will be grounded in a profound commitment to the people of Edo State and a bold vision for the future. He envisions a State where every citizen has access to quality education, healthcare, and economic opportunities.
His economic blueprint prioritises job creation, infrastructural development, and investment in key sectors, such as agriculture, technology, and tourism.
Okpebholo is a firm believer in the transformative power of good governance, transparency, and accountability. He has pledged to govern with integrity, fairness, and inclusivity, ensuring that the voices of all Edo citizens will be heard and adequately represented.
Central to Okpebholo’s leadership philosophy is a deep-seated belief in servant-leadership and people-centred governance. He understands that leadership is not about wielding power or advancing personal agendas but about serving the needs and interests of the people.
Senator Okpebholo will lead by example and demonstrate humility, empathy, and a genuine concern for the welfare of his constituents – Edo people. He will foster collaboration, dialogue, and consensus-building and recognise that collective action is essential for driving meaningful change and progress.
Okpebholo’s vision for Edo State is grounded in a grassroots approach that prioritises community engagement, outreach, and empowerment. He understands the importance of connecting with people on a personal level, listening to their concerns, and earning their trust.
Okpebholo represents the embodiment of hope, progress, and transformative leadership. His life story, marked by resilience, determination, and a commitment to service, resonates with the aspirations of the people of Edo State.
With his vision, integrity, and proven track record of success, Okpebholo is poised to lead Edo State into a new era of prosperity, unity, and inclusive development.
As the Governor of Edo State, he will not retreat and place his responsibilities on the shoulders of others. He will make tough decisions that will move Edo forward. Unlike Obaseki, who earned himself a name as the most famous MoU Governor, Okpebholo will rely on the expertise of the vibrant Edo State Civil Service and other capable hands he will hire to drive home his agenda for the Heart Beat of the Nation.
Okpebholo repeatedly assured during the campaigns that ‘Edo will witness a new development. This is the time the civil servants in the state will have a free hand and enjoy their job. There will be no consultants coming from somewhere to do their jobs. We will give them a chance to do their job. Their salaries would be guaranteed and no one would reduce their salary.’
As an ICT guru, Okpebholo will harness the skills of Edo entrepreneurial youths and make the State the hub of IT experts in the West of the Savanah. Under his watch as Governor, the vibrant youths of Edo will be put to gainful use and add to the growth and prosperity of the State.
No section, ethnic group, or religious aligners will be left out in Okpebholo’s Government. With him as the Captain of the ship, Edo State will berth successfully, and the people shall echo the Book of Proverbs 29:2, that ‘When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice.’

Rohini Nilekani, an Indian writer, author, and philanthropist, posited that ‘As citizens, we have to co-create good governance, we cannot outsource it and hope to be passively happy consumers. Like everything worth its while, good governance must be earned.”

What more can I add than to urge Edo sons and daughters to rally behind their worthy son, Okpebholo. He will make Edo State safe and great again.

From the Kukuruku Hills in Iyamho to the Anthills in Udomi; vast arable lands in Sobe, to the oil-rich Gele Gele; fear not! With Governor Monday Okpebholo, AKA, Akpako-Messiah, help has come!

As a Christian, I offer this prayer from the second stanza of a hymn, titled Abide With Me by Henry Francis Lyte for Governor Okpebholo.

‘Abide with me, fast falls the eventide. The darkness deepens Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.’

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, rest and abide with Governor Monday Okpebholo, now and forevermore, amen.

Long Governor Okpebholo!
Long live Edo State!
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

Fred Itua is the spokesman to Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo
