Spread the love
Anointed candidates of the All Progressives Congress for the National Assembly leadership positions emerged victorious during elections at the federal parliament on Tuesday in Abuja.

All the candidates, who received the backing of President Bola Tinubu and the APC, defeated aspirants, who contested the positions contrary to the zoning arrangement of the party.

Senator Godswill Akpabio emerged as the President of the Senate, while Senator Jibrin Barau won the position of the Deputy President of the upper legislative chambers. At the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas won the election for the position of Speaker, while Benjamin Kalu emerged as the Deputy Speaker.

The ruling party zoned the Senate presidency to the South-South and endorsed Akpabio (Akwa Ibom) for the position, while the deputy Senate presidency was zoned to the North-West. Barau,from Kano State, was tipped for the position.

The positions of the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker were zoned to the North-West and South-East respectively, while Abbas (from Kano State) and Kalu (from Abia State) were endorsed for the seats.

The APC senators, who were mindful of the 2015 experience, when Senator Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara, shunned the party’s zoning arrangement to emerge as the Senate president and the Speaker respectively, started arriving at the National Assembly as early as 7 am.

At the Senate, the voting process started at 8 am with the nomination of candidates for the position of Senate president.

Akpabio was nominated by Senator Ali Mohammed Ndume ( APC Borno South), after the call for nomination was made by the Clerk to the National Assembly, Sani Tambawal.

His nomination was seconded by Senator Solomon Adeola ( APC Ogun West ).

Drama, however, ensued when the clerk asked if there was any other nomination, and Senator Elisha Abbo (APC Adamawa North) signified his readiness to nominate another candidate.

But as Abbo attempted to nominate Senator Abdulaziz Yari, Senator Mohammed Mongono (APC Borno North), kicked against it by describing Yari as a non-ranking Senator.

Mongono in kicking against Yari’s nomination by Abbo, said it contravened Order 3 of the Senate Standing Rules. His position was however rejected by senators who were in support of Yari, with shouts of “no!, no! “

But the Clerk of the National Assembly overruled Mongono by declaring that nomination of Yari was in order.

After the voting, which was done through a secret ballot, Akpabio scored 63 votes to defeat Yari, who got 46 votes.

The former Zamfara State governor embraced the new Senate president and congratulated him.

Immediately after the result was declared, the clerk called for nominations for the position of Deputy President of the Senate,

Senator David Umahi (APC Ebonyi South) nominated Barau while Saliu Mustapha (APC Kwara Central) seconded. Barau was returned unopposed.

Akpabio, in his inaugural speech, extended his hand of fellowship to all Senators of the 10th Senate, irrespective of political party membership, saying, “Having won elections and inaugurated, we should see ourselves as Senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not that of political parties”.

He described the 10th Senate as an uncommon one that would collaborate with the executive arm of government in the area of improved revenue generation for the country.

He said, “I assure you that I am mindful of the enormous responsibilities that this position calls for. You will have my cooperation in all matters and our joint efforts will be one of teamwork. I extend my sincere hands of fellowship to all of us, including those who, at a time, may have had different opinions regarding the leadership of the Senate.”

In his reaction, the Deputy Director-General of Yari’s team, Senator Abdul Ningi, said the election was free and fair.

He said, “The election was free and fair without much-anticipated drama. That is what makes the institution of the Senate different. The animosity, the fear of what happened in the last two days completely vanished. You go into the hall and you see how people are embracing themselves and that is parliament and that is democracy.”

This followed the election in the Senate which saw Akpabio beat a former Governor of Zamfara State, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, by 63 votes to 46.

At the House of Representatives, Abbas, who was the preferred candidate of the All Progressives Congress, polled 353 votes, beating his rival and former Deputy Speaker, Ahmed Wase and Aminu Jaji.

Abbas emerges Speaker

In the House of Representatives, Abbas secured his victory on Tuesday, riding on the votes of opposition members whose numbers were more than the ruling party in the chamber.

The outgoing Deputy Speaker, Ahmed Wase, and Sani Jaji, who contested against Abbas, garnered three votes each, all from the APC members.

An analysis of the votes secured by Abbas and his two opponents showed that all the members of the seven opposition parties that form the minority caucus in the 10th House voted for the APC-endorsed candidate.

The seven minority parties are the Peoples Democratic Party, Labour Party, New Nigeria Peoples Party, All Progressives Grand Alliance, Social Democratic Party, African Democratic Congress, and the Youth Progressive Party.

The PDP has 117 members; LP, 35; NNPP, 19; APGA, five; SDP, two; ADC, two; and the YPP, one, totalling 181 opposition members. Those in the APC are 178.

There are 360 seats in the House, with 359 members voting in the election for the speaker, and Abbas securing 353 of the votes.

The vacant seat was to be occupied by a PDP member-elect, Ismaila Maihanci, who died on April 22, 2023, about two months after winning the election for the seat of Jalingo/Yorro/Zing Federal Constituency in Taraba State at the House, and less than two months to the inauguration of the 10th Assembly.

The outgoing Majority Leader of the House, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa (APC/Kano), nominated Abbas for Speaker, while Nnolim Nnaji (PDP/Enugu) seconded the motion.

Tijjani Ismail nominated the outgoing Deputy Speaker of the House, Ahmed Wase, for the Speaker, a nomination that was seconded by Abdulmumin Mohammed from Nasarawa State.

Another member of the House, Sani Jaji, was nominated by Muhammad Ibrahim. It was seconded by Yusuf Doro.

The Clerk to the National Assembly, who supervised the election and swearing-in ceremony, read out sections of the Standing Orders of the House of Representatives (as amended) stating that members would openly declare the candidates they would vote for.

Abbas emerged the winner of the poll and was declared the winner by the Clerk as the duly elected Speaker of the 10th House.

Abbas candidate garnered 353 votes out of the available 359 votes to defeat Wase and Jaji, who scored three votes each.

The Director-General of Jaji’s Campaign, Olaide Akinremi, a former aspirant of the position of Speaker from Oyo State, voted for Abbas. He declined to speak when approached by our correspondent after the election.

Similarly, apart from Jaji and Wase who contested, all other members of the G-7, a group of aspirants for the position of Speaker, aggrieved with the adoption of Abbas by the APC, voted for the party’s candidate.

They include the Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, Aliyu Betara; the Chairman of the House Committee on Navy, Yusuf Gagdi; the Chairman of the House Committee on Water Resources, Sada Soli; Chinedu Ogah and Miriam Onuoha.

In his inaugural speech, Abbas described his emergence as Speaker as a “momentous victory for the 10th House of Representatives.”

While thanking all those who believed in his candidacy, the lawmaker said he was “indeed humbled and honoured to be elected as your Speaker, as the Speaker of the Nigerian people.”

The Speaker especially thanked Tinubu and the APC “for finding me competent to be nominated to serve in this position for the Nigerian people,” while extending the greeting to “every other person who has directly or indirectly contributed to this journey.”

LP, NNPP worried

Speaking on the elections at the National Assembly, the Peoples Democratic Party, through its spokesman, Debo Ologunagba pleaded for time to put together a formal statement, saying,”We are aware of the election and the outcome. We will react appropriately when we are ready.”

On its part, the Labour Party expressed disappointment with the Presidency and the ruling party for getting a majority of Senators and House of Representatives members to do their bidding.

Speaking exclusively with The PUNCH, acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiorah Ifoh said, “The conventional thing to do is to allow members of both chambers to elect their leaders but this was not what Nigerians witnessed on Tuesday.

“The APC and Presidency did everything possible to have their way and they succeeded. Nigerians should not expect this Assembly to champion any form of legislative independence because the Senate President and the Speaker of the House were the picks of the Presidency.’’

The Spokesman for the New Nigeria Peoples Party in the 2023 Presidential Campaign Council, Ladipo Johnson told one of our correspondents that the leadership of the 10th National Assembly was the creation of the ruling party and the Presidency.

“Nigerians should not expect much in terms of disagreement between the executive and the judiciary. This should be worrisome considering that a healthy disagreement is necessary between the two arms of government in a constitutional democracy.’’

Also, the National Publicity Secretary of the Social Democratic Party, Rufus Aiyenigba, attributed the victory of Akpabio and Abbas to what he called their extensive and intensive consultations across the different party platforms that produced lawmakers in the federal parliament. (PUNCH)

Spread the love

More than 8,000 communities and 4,500 schools across 15 states are at risk of flooding between September 19 and 25, according to the latest National Flood Advisory issued by the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency.

The agency warned that rising river levels could trigger flooding in vulnerable communities, exposing schools, healthcare facilities, markets, religious buildings and farmlands to possible inundation.

The warning was contained in the agency’s National Flood Advisory issued on Saturday by its Director-General and Chief Executive Officer, Arch Umar Mohammed.

The affected states include Imo, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Benue, Anambra, Akwa Ibom, Edo, Enugu, Bayelsa, Kogi, Abia, Taraba, Rivers and Lagos.

Mohammed said rising river levels were expected to trigger flooding in several communities, putting schools, healthcare facilities, markets, farms and religious buildings at risk.

He urged affected state governments to urgently relocate residents living in vulnerable communities to safer locations ahead of the forecast.

He said, “High riverine flood risk is forecast for the next seven days across Imo, Cross River and 13 other states.

Rising river stages are expected to cause flooding.

“Communities on the floodplain should prepare to move to higher ground. Stations include Obubra, Itigidi and Epento on the Cross River.”

In Imo State, NiHSA listed Aboh-Mbaise, Ahiazu-Mbaise, Ehime Mbano, Ezinihitte, Ideato North, Ihitte/Uboma and Ikeduru local government areas as being at risk.

The agency said 958 communities, 1,022 schools, 553 healthcare facilities, 161 markets and 198 religious buildings were exposed in the state.

In Cross River State, the affected LGAs are Abi, Akamkpa, Akpabuyo, Biase, Calabar, Calabar South, Ikom and Obubra.

NiHSA identified 2,471 communities, 703 schools, 344 healthcare facilities, 145 markets, 453 religious buildings and 854 hectares of farmland as exposed to the flood risk.

In Ebonyi State, Abakaliki, Afikpo, Afikpo South, Ebonyi, Ezza North and Ezza South LGAs were identified as vulnerable.

The agency said 2,574 communities, 1,064 schools, 422 healthcare facilities, 480 markets, 629 religious buildings and 1,882 hectares of farmland were exposed.

In Benue State, the affected LGAs are Buruku, Gboko, Guma, Katsina-Ala, Logo and Ukum, with 303 communities, 100 schools, 48 healthcare facilities, 32 markets, 151 religious buildings and 55 hectares of farmland exposed.

2027: Obi, Kwankwaso Movement unveils 59-member campaign council

Published

Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso
Spread the love

The Obi-Kwankwaso Movement on Thursday unveiled a 59-member presidential campaign council comprising zonal and state coordinators as well as directors for mobilisation, women’s affairs, strategy, security, legal affairs and other key areas ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The council, as announced in a statement on Thursday, has the Director-General of the movement, John Ughulu, as Director-General of the campaign, while National Secretary, Saadatu Sani, is also listed among the campaign leadership.

The structure has representatives from the six geopolitical zones and the Federal Capital Territory, with state coordinators appointed for the 36 states.

The council also includes directors responsible for grassroots mobilisation, women affairs, contact and engagement, special duties, procurement, information technology, legal affairs, strategy and planning, security and intelligence, and administration.

The development comes as the movement intensifies preparations to mobilise support for the joint presidential ticket of Nigeria Democratic Congress candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, ahead of the 2027 election.

Maduka College Advert

In a congratulatory message to the newly appointed council members, Sani explained that their selection was a call to duty and tasked them with taking the message of its principals to communities across the country.

She said, “Your selection is not merely an appointment; it is a call to duty, sacrifice, leadership and service to Nigeria. At this critical moment in our nation’s history, the responsibility before the presidential campaign council is enormous.

“You have been entrusted with the task of taking the vision, message and aspirations of our principals directly to the Nigerian people from the cities to the grassroots, from the states to the local governments, and from the wards to every community across the federation.
“Your appointment is an honour, but more importantly, it is a responsibility. The journey has begun. The assignment is clear. The mission is Nigeria.”

Continuing, she highlighted that the Obi and Kwankwaso campaign would not be built around individuals seeking personal recognition, but around what it described as a broader national vision.

“The OK Movement is not built around individuals seeking personal recognition. It is a movement driven by a larger national vision: to mobilise Nigerians around the possibility of a better, more prosperous, united and functional Nigeria.

“We therefore expect every member of the Presidential Campaign Council to approach this assignment with discipline, loyalty, humility, courage and an unwavering commitment to the collective vision of the movement.

“The road ahead will require hard work. It will require strategic thinking, grassroots mobilisation, effective communication and, above all, the ability to work together as one formidable political family,” she stated.

The national secretary added that their immediate responsibility was to ensure that the message of its principals reached voters nationwide.
She said, “Our responsibility is to ensure that the message of our principals reaches every Nigerian and that the voice of the people is heard across the length and breadth of our nation.”

Among those appointed are Suleiman Abubakar as North-Central coordinator; Hashimu Dungurawa (North-West); Amadu Gwambe (North-East); Dr Adebayo Adefolaseye (South-West); Christopher Ighodaro (South-South) and El-Shaddai Ikeh (South-East).
The council also appointed state coordinators for each of the 36 states and the FCT.

Others appointed include Rev Mike Agbon as Director, Inter-Ethnic Group in Northern Nigeria; Sabo Gashua (Grassroots Mobilisation); Glory Adayi (Women Affairs); Kabir Yahaya (Contact and Engagement); Abdumumini Tijjani (Mobilisation); Yusuf Mani (Special Duties); Peace Daful (Procurement); Prof Charles Nwekeaku (South Eastern Town Hall) and Sunmisola Adebayo (Information Technology).

Kingdom Okere was appointed Director of Legal Affairs; Abiodun Dabiri (Strategy and Planning); Richard Enemona CSP (retd.) (Security and Intelligence), while Aisha Abdulrahaman was named Director of Administration.

Last month, the group reaffirmed that it would retain its independent structure rather than merge with another political organisation ahead of the 2027 elections, while backing Ughulu as its founder and Director-General.

The unveiling comes days after the movement condemned the reported disruption of Obi’s convoy during his visit to Benue State and called for an impartial investigation into the incident.

The OK Movement said its security personnel deliberately exercised restraint to prevent the situation from escalating into violence.
