Ash Wednesday: Christians to dress in black attires to protest killings in Nigeria.


Millions of Christians across the Diocese of Roman Catholic Church in Nigeria have concluded plans to come out on Wednesday, 26th of February in all black attires during the procession of Ash Wednesday to show their grievances over the killings in Nigeria and the insecurity situation of the
country.
The Church has also mobilised its members all over the world to pray for the current insecurity challenges of the country.
Rev. Fr. Felix Gobi, the Senior Parish Priest of St. Peter’s Nunkai in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital made this known during today’s mass sermon.
He said the planned “Black Dress Protest” is across all the parishes in Nigeria.
Gobi, while urging his parishioners to come out in their numbers, said the church would continue to show signs of concern over the unjust killings of Christians and Nigerians until the security situation is improve.
“We will continue to talk to our leaders that this way, we want to let them know that the killings of Christians by Boko Haram and killings of Nigerians by arm bandit and kidnappers is a condemned situation and must stop.
“Until we see the will to stop these ceaseless killings and an improved security situation in Nigeria where human lives must be respected, what we are experiencing in Nigeria now is not of God, is Satanic.”
DAILY POST, while speaking with members of the church, also gathered that the same announcement about the planed protest was made in all the parishes of the Jalingo Diocese and beyond.
The information available shows that the Roman Catholic churches in big cities of Nigeria like Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt and other major cities would carry out the “Black Dress Protest” on the streets while other churches who are found in vulnerable areas would observe their protest in their churches as they Mark the Ash Wednesday.

Why Presidency should return to South in 2023, by El-Rufai.

                                     Gov el Rufai

…Says no justification for Northerner to take over after Buhari’s 8 years.

As the permutations for the 2023 Presidency begin to dominate political discourse nationwide, Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has said the Presidency should rightly return to the Southern part of the country.
Although the governor, acclaimed to be a major strategist of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, did not specify which of the southern geopolitical zones should take the Presidency in 2023, he argued that it would be unjustified for the North to seek to retain the Presidency after President Muhammadu Buhari might have completed his eight years.

El-Rufai, who headed the APC’s Restructuring Committee, pointed out that although the party’s constitution does not make provision for rotational presidency, like the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, it was a general understanding that the Presidency should rotate between the two political zones of Nigeria for the sake of justice, equity and fair play.
The governor said: “The general political consensus in Nigeria is that the Presidency should rotate between the North and the South. It is not written but everyone understands it.
“In some of the parties, like the PDP, it is even written down in their constitution but it was breached in 2015. I think that every politician of honour should understand and abide by that consensus except there is an extenuating circumstance compelling it to be set aside. What could this be?
“President Yar’Adua died in office and it was compulsory for Jonathan to continue but when 2011 election came, there were many people who insisted that Jonathan should step aside for a northerner to complete the tenure of Yar’Adua but  I opposed it because I didn’t think it was proper for an incumbent that got there not by his own design should be stopped from contesting when the constitution has not barred him from running.
“In the APC, we deliberately omitted rotational Presidency in our constitution and the emergence of a presidential candidate does not take into account zoning and that was why in 2015, Rochas Okorocha from the East contested, Sam Nda-Isaiah contested, Buhari, Kwankwaso and others contested.
“I can say that as distinct from the PDP, APC has no
rotational Presidency but candidates are selected strictly on the basis of political merit and the general acceptability of the candidate.
“I want to say that those of us from Northern Nigeria honour agreements. We do not violate unwritten political agreements and I will be the last person to lead in violating that agreement. I may have a personal view but that should be the basis. I don’t care where you come from but I look for merit.
“But as a group, the Northern APC will have to sit down and endorse someone, most likely someone from the South, because after eight years of Buhari, I don’t think the Presidency should remain in the north unless there is some extenuating circumstances. But all things being equal, we
will honour our agreement and we keep our words.’’
It will be recalled that some northern leaders have lately begun to canvass for the retention of the Presidency in the region, arguing that the south had done more years than them since President Umaru Yar’Adua died and his vice, Goodluck Jonathan, took over and did another term in place of the north.
Others have even argued that since the PDP jettisoned the well established rotational Presidency, which the party put in place to ensure orderly sharing of power, power sharing between the north and the south should no longer be on agreement but on merit.

SARS operative allegedly kills footballer in Ogun.


An operative of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) yesterday allegedly shot dead a professional footballer, Tiyamiyu Kazeem at Orile Imo area along Sagamu-Abeokuta expressway in Ogun State. Daily Trust on Sunday reports that the development coming barely three days after SARS operatives shot two traders in Abeokuta, had thrown Sagamu into chaos as angry youths took to the streets.

Kazeem, aka Kaka, was an Assistant Captain of Remo Football Club based in Sagamu. The late footballer was said to have been shot by the SARS operative who reportedly mistaken him for a suspected internet fraudster (Yahoo boy).

Our correspondent gathered that the incident touched off the nerves of the youths in Sagamu, who staged a protest, chanting anti-SARS slogans including “No more SARS, no more SARS.”

It further learnt a police officer who had attempted to prevent the protesting youths on their way to the palace of the Akarigbo and Paramount ruler of Remoland, Oba Babatunde Ajayi, escaped being mobbed by whiskers.

The Media Manager of Remo Stars Football Club, Oladimeji Oshode in a statement on Saturday confirmed the incident, saying the deceased was also the club’s defender. Oshode said the incident happened while the late Kazeem was driving along Sagamu area with one of his teammates, Sanni Abubakar. However, the Spokesman of the State Police Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi said contrary to the insinuations that the late footballer was shot, he was knocked down by a hit and run driver while trying to escape after he had been arrested. Oyeyemi said the deceased was arrested for wearing a military cap and not on the suspicion of being an internet fraudster. He pointed out that the operative who arrested the deceased was an Inspector attached to the Zonal Intervention Squad (ZIS), Obada, and not a SARS operative. The PPRO stated that the operative had been taken into custody at Owode-Egba division and would be transferred to the police headquarters for further investigation.

Court discharges, acquits 91 IMN members.


Justice Hajaratu Gwada of a Kaduna High Court on Friday discharged and acquitted 91 members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) also known as Shiites who has been in prison since 2015. Addressing newsmen shortly after the release of the IMN members, their counsel, Barrister Maxwell Kyon said his clients were charged of culpable homicide punishable by death, criminal conspiracy and disturbance of peace.

Barrister Kyon however said the state failed to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt, hence he filed a no case submission before Justice Gwada, and the court was able to determine that the state was unable to prove their case against the defendants in the charges leveled against them. He lamented that it was quite unfortunate for the system to hold individual in custody for no case for that long, stressing that some of them lost their children, wives, admission in tertiary institution while in custody.

He said Kaduna state must take responsibility of rehabilitating his clients for keeping them in prison for four years.

The government should engage with us and come out with a figure as compensation for those whose four years in detention at the Correctional Centre has been wasted.

The government made those people to be arrested and remanded in prison. We want government to take responsibility for the incarceration of these people for four years. Many lost their jobs, some lost admissions in tertiary institutions and I know of one whose wife left while he was in prison,” he said.
