Anambra Election: INEC Rules Out Dialogue With IPOB, ESN

 The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has ruled out the possibility of engaging the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Eastern Security Network, ESN ahead of the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State.

The commission noted that it wouldn’t go out of its way to engage IPOB and ESN that had been outlawed by the Muhammadu Buhari regime.

  The INEC spokesman, Festus Okoye, made this known during an interview with Arise TV on Thursday, noting that the commission had been engaging stakeholders including security agencies, civil society organisations and other relevant bodies.

 

We recognise political parties, we recognise the people of Anambra State, we recognise civil society groups and organisations, we recognise traditional institutions and the clergy. So, if they are part of civil society groups and organisation and they attend our programmes, we will tell them what we want to do in relation to Anambra elections,” Okoye said.

“But in terms of IPOB, the commission will not go out of its way to go and engage with an organisation that the federal government has declared as illegal. So we won’t do that,” the spokesman stated.

 INEC had earlier disclosed that the constant attacks in South-East region did not pose any threat to the November 6 governorship election.

 Politics

As the legislative debate on the 2022 budget, which was presented to the joint session of lawmakers by President Muhammadu Buhari last week continued on Wednesday, members of the House of Representatives expressed concerns over the high rate of debt servicing.

While each lawmaker took turns to speak on the highlight of the budget which stood at N16.39 trillion, they maintained that the proposed budgetary provision for debt servicing was 25 per cent of the entire budget, saying it was on the high side.

Those who spoke extensively on the worrisome debt servicing was the Chairman of the House Committee on Judiciary, Hon. Luke Onofiok who observed that the sum of N3.9 trillion for debt servicing representing about 25 percent of the whole budget was worrisome.

EKWUNIFE DECRIES THE STATE OF ROADS IN THE COUNTRY, CALLS FOR ADEQUATE FUNDING OF FERMA

The Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, Uche Ekwunife PhD, has once again decried the state of roads in the country, calling on the federal government to take pragmatic steps to rehabilitate strategic roads in different parts of the country.

While addressing the Nigerian Senate on Tuesday, October 12, 2021, Ekwunife said that Nigerians are losing their lives to bad roads. She also lamented that the poor state of the roads is affecting economic activities.

"Mr President to say that the roads in Nigeria is a nightmare is an understatement. The roads in Nigeria are in shambles. The Federal Roads Maintenance Agency remains one of the most important agencies of government, but sadly the agency is not funded to carry out its constitutional obligations, which is constant maintenance of our highways in Nigeria."

"Construction of roads is one thing, maintenance is another. Nigerians yearn for roads maintenance. Almost all the roads in the country are impassable. Kidnappers, armed-robbers and badits have turned the bad portions of our roads into their catchment areas. Something must be done urgently. The Federal government can partner with the state governments to address the challenges of roads maintenance. Our people are suffering", Ekwunife passionately stated.

"Mr President, Nigerians are looking up to you because you have the garvel of appropriation. Kindly use it to ensure that FERMA is adequately funded to maintain our roads. Nigerians are losing their lives", the grassroots-friendly lawmaker told the President of the Senate.

African Bank President Adesine Ask Buhari Government

African Bank President Adesine Ask Buhari Government

The Debt Management Office (DMO) recorded the country’s total public debt at N35.46 trillion at the end of the second quarter of 2021.

The President of the African Development Bank, Akinwunmi Adesina, has asked the Muhammadu Buhari-led government to decisively resolve the nation’s debt challenges to trigger economic growth.

As of September, the Debt Management Office (DMO) recorded the country’s total public debt at N35.46trillion at the end of the second quarter of 2021

According to the 2022 budget proposal of N16.39trillion, N3.61trillion has been earmarked to service debt for the year, representing 22 per cent of the total expenditure and 35.6 per cent of the total revenue.

Speaking at the Mid-Term Ministerial Performance Review retreat, in Abuja, Adesina expressed worry over the country’s source of revenue for debt servicing.

He, however, acknowledged that the debt-to-GDP ratio remained “moderate”, adding that the economic resurgence was possible when Nigeria removes “structural bottlenecks” that limit the revenue-earning potential of non-oil sectors.

Adesina said, “Nigeria must decisively tackle its debt challenges. The issue is not about the debt-to-GDP ratio, as Nigeria’s debt-to-GDP ratio at 35 per cent is actually still moderate. The big issue is how to service the debt and what that means for resources for domestic investments needed to spur faster economic growth.

“The debt service to revenue ratio for Nigeria is high at 73 per cent. Things will improve as oil prices recover, but the situation has revealed the vulnerability of Nigeria’s economy. To have an economic resurgence, we need to fix the structure of the economy and address some basic fundamentals.

“Nigeria’s challenge is revenue concentration, as the oil sector accounts for roughly 75 percent of export revenue while according to the statistics of the Central bank 50 percent of all government revenue.

“What is needed for sustained growth and economic resurgence is to remove the structural bottlenecks that limit the productivity and the revenue earning potential of the huge non-oil sectors.”

 Governor Conveys Held Hostage By IPOP Militants

Gunmen suspected to be militants of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) held the convoy of Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State hostage on Tuesday.

The incident happened as the attackers disrupted the campaign rally of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) at Odata Secondary School in Ihiala Local Government Area of the State.

“The governor’s convoy was held for about one hour, while there were gunshots all over,” a resident told Daily Trust.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Anambra, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed that there was attack in Ihiala.

In a statement, Ikenga said operatives of Anambra Police Command repelled the attack at Odata.

According to him, exhibits recovered from the attackers were One AK 47 rifle, Two Magazine with 30 rounds of ammunition, One lexus 350 jeep, one Rav 4 jeep, one Mercedes Benz and a Toyota Corolla.

He said preliminary investigation revealed that the hoodlums started shooting sporadically when they arrived Odata Secondary School but security operatives took control.

He said that normalcy has been restored in the area and operations is ongoing for possible arrest of the fleeing gang members

Reacting to the attack, the Anambra state Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment Mr. C.Don Adunuba, said a combined team of policemen and soldiers repelled the attack.

According to him, gunmen came on various motorcycles and in three vehicles, namely, a Toyota Lexus 350 ES with registration number EKY 765 EX, Toyota RAV4 with number JJJ 434FP and a Ford van whose number could not ascertained at the time of this report because it caught fire during the exchange of bullets between the gunmen and security forces.

.He said the gunmen, unable to withstand the superior fire power of the security operatives ran into the premises of Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, which is directly opposite the campaign ground.

“If the gunmen had not run into the hospital which is a very delicate place to shoot any person, the security men would have gunned all of them down them,” he said.

He said the Anambra State Police Command has requested the people in the area to help look out for people with gunshots and report them.

He also asked hospitals and other health facilities in both Ihiala Local Government Area and neighbouring communities in Imo State to report persons with gunshot injuries.

Meanwhile, Obiano has commended police officers and soldiers who repelled the attack.

Speaking to journalists at Atani in Ogbaru LGA where he led a large crowd of APGA faithful to welcome the APGA governorship candidate in the forthcoming election, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, Obiano described the response of the security men as professional and patriotic.

In the same vein, Soludo, who lost three policemen guarding him when he was attacked on March 31 in his hometown of Isuofia, Aguata local Government Area, while addressing the youth, lauded the security forces for bravery.

​“These security men and women in Anambra State lay down their lives for us and they do their best because of the encouragement they receive from the security-conscious state government, among other factors.”

“We expect more professional exhibition as days go by and the election date approaches.”
