ENDBADGOVERNANCE: PROTESTERS CARTED AWAY GANDUJES CORRUPTION TRIAL DOCUMENTS – GOV YUSUF

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has said that all the alleged corruption cases filed by the APC National Chairman, Ganduje, residing at the State High Court, have been carted away by the violent Protesters.

Kano State High Court of Justice was among hundreds of other places vandalized and set ablaze by the End Bad Government Protesters when they came out in their hundreds against hunger and starvation in the country.

However, Governor Yusuf who paid an assessment visit to the State High Court, on Wednesday, expressed worry that the corruption charges case files of former Governor Ganduje have been taken away from the court.

The Governor, who was conducted around the court premises by the Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Haruna Isah Dederi, Chief Registrar of the High Court, Abdullahi Ado Bayero, and other High Court Judges of the state, was furious at what had happened at the court.

This was contained in a press statement made available to newsmen in Kano by the Governor’s Spokesperson, Mr Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa today.

The statement described the vandalization as a master-minded and staged-managed mission in which the hired miscreants carted away corruption charges documents on former governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje who has been facing multiple charges before the state High Court.

“It is very unfortunate that enemies of Kano State hired undesirable elements to vandalise one of the historic public buildings with a mission of averting corruption charges against the Ag. National Chairman of APC and former governor of the state Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, his family and aides.”

The statement added that the miscreants destroyed virtually all units of the High Court including the office of the state Chief Judge with a loss of more than one billion naira through the stealing of office equipment, destroying offices, burning cars and other relevant materials crucial to the dispensation of justice.

Governor Kabir called on the youths in the state to desist from being used by detractors to engage in violence, rather they should concentrate on skills acquisition for a better future, emphasizing that the government will not relent in securing the lives and property of the people of Kano State.

The Governor assured that the judiciary as the last hope of the common man must be protected at all costs, he directed the immediate rehabilitation of the building and deployment of adequate security for effective justice delivery.

He commiserated with the Chief Judge, Dije Abdu Aboki and the entire Judiciary family for the ugly incident urging them to brace up to cover what was lost in the court proceedings for the benefit of the common man.

    HOW FG PACIFIED LABOUR WITH PROMISES TO COMPLETE FIVE REFINERIES, PAY ARREARS

    HOW FG PACIFIED LABOUR WITH PROMISES TO COMPLETE FIVE REFINERIES, PAY ARREARS One of the promises the Federal Government made to pacify Organised Labour at yesterday’s parley was that five refineries would soon be fully functional. Also, government vowed to pay arrears of wages. These, among others, formed the core of the meeting where “they agreed that it is better to ‘jaw-jaw than war-war’.” “Meaning,” a source told Vanguard, “there will be continuous dialogue between government and labour.” Recall that Vanguard broke the story, yesterday, that leaders of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and their Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, counterpart were meeting with the Federal Government. However, obviously acting on agreed terms, neither the government representatives nor the labour leaders spoke with newsmen on what was discussed and agreed on at the meeting. FG’s promises A source, however, revealed to Vanguard the many promises Federal Government made to the Labour leaders. According to a reliable source: “As part of efforts at crashing transport fares across the country, the Federal Government will hold a meeting with state governors to fully embrace the CNG buses. “This will also affect the cost of foodstuffs as it will reduce the costs of transporting food items from different locations to consumers drastically.“These are parts of efforts to cushion the effects of the subsidy removal on the citizens. “The government also promised to summon a meeting of the economic council to impress it upon state governors to ensure the new minimum wage takes off across the country this month. “It also promised to incorporate labour into the economic council, so labour will participate and monitor economic policies of government, instead of government throwing policies at labour and Nigerians that may result in agitation or protest.” “The government also promised to hasten and complete the refineries. “They said almost five refineries are about to be completed,’’ another source told Vanguard last night. The sources confirmed that “government promised to pay all outstanding arrears and wage awards to workers, and inaugurate all the boards labour has representatives.” Labour pacified One of the sources said: “All these are promises, but the good thing is that it was agreed that the meeting will be a continuous process.” Asked if labour was satisfied with the meeting, the source said: “It is not about satisfaction, but a way forward from the past where government was not discussing with organised labour. ‘’If this trend or practice continues, there is every possibility that disagreements between government and labour will reduce.” Roll call The government’s representatives at the meeting were Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser, NSA; Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, Labour Minister; and Wale Edun, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy. Others include Alhaji Mohammed Idris, Information Minister; Heineken Lokpobiri, Petroleum Resources Minister, State; Ekperikpe Ekpo, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), and representatives of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, NNPCL. For Organised Labour were the President of NLC, Mr Joe Ajaero; Deputy President, Kabiru Ado Sani; the General Secretary, Mr Emma Ugboaja; Deputy President of the TUC, Dr. Tommy Etim Okon; the Secretary General, Nuhu Toro; and the President of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, who is also a deputy president of NLC.
