Ekiti Governor-elect Ayo Fayose still has a case to answer - EFCC
Ayo Fayose may have won the election in Ekiti state but he still has a
corruption case to answer, this is according to EFCC Head of Media and
Publicity, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren.
Speaking with punch
Yesterday, Mr. Uwujaren said Fayose's election has not affected his
ongoing trial at the Federal High Court, Ado-Ekiti, for alleged
corruption.
"The EFCC has not dropped the case against the former Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose. The trial is still going on; it is continuing at the Federal High Court, Ado-Ekiti. In fact further hearing comes up on July 15, 2014.
As you know, immunity from prosecution applies only to the President, the Vice President, sitting governors and their deputies.”
It is the court that would decide whether the case would be discontinued or not; all arguments will be canvassed in court and it is the court that would decide,” he said.

Baraje Urges FG To Accept Boko Haram Swap Option
Kawu Baraje, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, on Sunday, told the federal government to accept the swap deal
offered by members of the radical Islamist sect Boko Haram.

Speaking to journalist at the graduation ceremony of Baraje Centre for Arabic and Islamic Studies in llorin, Kwara State capital noted that, no sacrifice would be too much to secure the release of the abducted school girls, and insisted that the federal government should consider the swap option.
"If the United States of America swapped five prisoners to secure the life of an America soldier, it will not be too much for the Federal Government to negotiate and meet the sect’s condition for the release of the abducted girls" he said. "Whatever kind of appeasement that will appease the people that are holding these girls should be done, whether negotiation, whether transition, we saw America do it. Just for one person America released five insurgents".
According to him, Nigeria was in a dire situation following the current security challenges. He stated that not until the girls are released, Nigerians would not believe the efforts made by the Federal Government in securing their release.
Baraje, however, revealed that efforts were on to affiliate the Islamiya school with Al-Ansur University in Saudi Arabia in order to provide opportunities for higher education.
It would be recalled that over 234 school girls were kidnapped from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok Borno State by the Boko Haram sect on April 14. The sect, however, offered to swap the girls for the release of their detained brethren, an option the federal government had earlier agreed to, and invited the only Nigerian journalist/civilian, Ahmad Salkida, who reportedly has access to Boko Haram to act as negotiator between them and the Islamist.
Recently the Ijaw National Congress, INC, described the Islamist as murderers, and argued that agreeing to swap their brethren for the abducted girls would show bad precedence for the country, noting that instead of swapping, Government should explore other means of ensuring the girls rescue.
However, the fate of the abducted Chibok girls seems to rest in the hands of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, whom the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) recently pleaded with the federal government to allow negotiate with Boko Haram leaders in a bid to free the girls.

Shehu Of Borno Reveals Why Monarchs Are Boko Haram Targets
The Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar El-Kanemi,
said on Sunday that northern traditional rulers had become the target of
Boko Haram because they have been cooperating with security agents to
fight terrorism in the Northeast.
The dreaded Boko Haram sect
According to him, 14, out of 59 district heads in his kingdom, had been killed by the terrorist Islamic sect, Boko Haram, PUNCH reports.
El-Kanemi who is the Chancellor of the Niger Delta University, disclosed this while speaking in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, when he visited Governor Seriake Dickson, a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Mr. Daniel Iworiso-Markson, said.
Condemning the insurgents attack, the Shehu said it was wrong for them to claim that they were fighting an Islamic cause.
"It is wrong to force somebody to convert. There is nowhere in the Bible or Q’uran that we are asked to use force to convert people. They’ve attacked mosques, killed Imams, district heads, and even my own brothers," he lamented.

El-Kanemi reiterated his resolve to help
in the fight against terrorism, saying, as the first class traditional
ruler in the North to be targeted by a suicide bomber, he would support
any process that would restore peace, harmony and unity to his over
1,200 year-old kingdom in particular and Nigeria in general.
He expressed optimism that Boko Haram would fail just as Maitatsine failed in the 1980s.
Also speaking, the governor of Bayelsa
state, Seriake Dickson warned the political class and religious leaders
to refrain from making comments that would inflame passions in the face
of current security challenges in the country, while urging political
and religious leaders to take steps that would reflect support and
empathy for the security agencies, instead of capitalising on the
situation to score cheap political points.
Recently, report surfaced that district heads were in fear that they might be attacked by the terrorist following the recent killing of the Emir of Gwoza in Borno State, Alhaji Idrisa Timta who was ambushed on his way to attend the burial of the Emir of Gombe, Shehu Abubakar.Saraki Cautions President Jonathan Against 2015 Election
Dr. Bukola Saraki, the former governor of Kwara State on
Sunday, said President Goodluck Jonathan should live up to the
expectation of the citizens if not he might lose his re-election bid
come 2015.
Dr. Bukola Saraki
Saraki, who is a serving senator, and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress,APC made the assertion in a reaction to the just concluded Ekiti State governorship election where the incumbent governor, Fayemi Kayode of the APC, was defeated by the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ayodele Fayose.
He said the Ekiti State election was a signal that President Jonathan could lose re-election in 2015 if he fail to do the will of the people. He described Fayose’s victory as a triumph for democracy and the people of the state.
“It is important that around the clock, people want to be engaged. This should also serve as a lesson to Mr. President that as an incumbent it is very possible to lose in Nigeria if he fails to do the will of the people" he said. “I urge the governor-elect to see this victory as an endorsement of the expectations of Ekiti people for continued dedication to governance and a means for a focused and purposeful leadership.”
Saraki further noted that despite heavy military presence and alleged external intimidation, the poll still recorded a high turnout of over 51 per cent of the electorate who came out to vote for the candidate of their choice. He congratulated Fayose for his victory and also Fayemi for conceding defeat and congratulating Fayose..
“With this show of sportsmanship, it is my belief that other politicians will respect the wishes of the electorate and do the same in future elections to avoid violence and political bickering as demonstrated by the peace-loving people of Ekiti" he said. “I will also like to congratulate the electoral agency, the Independent National Electoral Commission, as it appears the body has shown remarkable improvement. This should also serve as a reminder to every politician in other parts of the country, especially Kwara State, that this is clear indication that Nigerians now know how to differentiate grass root politicians from seasonal politicians.”
In a related development, Dele Belgore (SAN), who is a chieftain of the Kwara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, urged Fayose to remember the huge support he got from the people of the state and make sure they were rewarded for their loyalty.
Belgore, who made this known in a statement issued on Sunday by his media aide, Rafiu Ajakaye, also noted that Fayose’s victory showed that there was a limit to propaganda, no matter how well-oiled and smoothly delivered.
Ayodele Fayose, the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), was declared the winner of the June 21 governorship election in Ekiti Stateby the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). He scored 203, 090 number of votes to beat the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Kayode Fayemi, who scored 120, 433.
