THE NATION NEWSPAPER
7. Let qualified Nigerians have guns
It is sadly true the present government has shown scandalous lack of ability to keep Nigerians safe and secure. News of gruesome murders, beheadings, wanton daily and relentless abductions of individuals, sometimes whole families and vulnerable schoolchildren and undergraduates, killing of farmers on their farms, is so pervasive and benumbing. Even homes are no longer safe sanctuaries anymore; terrorists, bandits and kidnappers barge into family homes, killing, looting, raping women and girls and wreaking heinous savagery on defenceless Nigerians.
Roads and highways have become unsafe as well. No one has any assurance of safe return home after venturing out, but venture out for daily activities we must. People now approach churches, mosques, markets, schools, burials, weddings, social occasions and other large gatherings with trepidation, mortal fear, yet these are part of normal everyday life. Priests, individually or in groups, traditional rulers in their domains, ordinary folks in their homes, are casually and wantonly abducted for ransom, some even cruelly and callously murdered by their abductors after ransoms, usually running into millions of naira, had been paid.
In the midst of all these, our ruling elite luxuriate in opulence and sybaritism; they and their families are protected by thousands of police personnel that there aren’t enough for the remaining 200 million fellow citizens who are daily subjected to the most harrowing existence by sundry criminal gangs. Those who ride about in armoured SUVs insult our collective intelligence telling us we are safer today than before they came into office. Police chiefs and military brass daily assure us they are on top of the security situation, that we should not worry but go about our daily business.
8. Obey court order, Fed Govt tells ASUU
The Federal Government yesterday advised the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to obey a National Industrial Court (NIC) ruling that ordered striking lecturers to return to work.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, said a new directive by ASUU, exhorting its members to continue with the strike was lawlessness.
He added that “the Federal Government strongly frowns at this.”
DAILY POST
9. Most NASS members not utilizing their oversight powers – Eyiboh
A former member of House of Representatives for Eket Federal Constituency, Hon Eseme Eyiboh, has regretted that most legislators at the National Assembly have failed to exploit oversight powers granted them by constitution to enrich their legislative engagements.
He added that apart from lawmaking, the legislators can go further in engaging governors, corporate organisations, ministries departments and agencies to bring development in their communities.
In a media chat at the Ibom E-Library, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital on Monday, Eyiboh, who is also the All Progressives Congress candidate in the 2023 elections for Eket Federal Constituency, said legislative business is not for everyone and should be given to someone who is conversant with the law and has the capacity to engage and negotiate for his constituents.
10. 2023 election: NNPP fumes over Kwankwaso’s description as spoiler
The New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) has condemned the description of its 2023 presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, as a spoiler.
The National Secretary, Dipo Olayoku, issued a statement on Monday in Abuja.
Olayoku said an emergency meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) discussed some publications against Kwankwaso.
The spokesman noted that the NNPP discovered that some media reports were sponsored against the party.
Olayoku insists the former governor is the one to beat in the 2023 election and “cannot be a spoiler or a pretender”.
