Currency Redesign: Open Letter To Governor El-Rufai By Gloria Mabeiam Ballason by hdaveyork(m) : 5:43 pm On Feb 19 |
Dear Governor Nasir Elrufai, In
the normal course of events, this would have been an engagement on marking down your last 100 days as Governor of Kaduna, Nigeria’s third- largest state. However, your sudden love for the masses and the rule of law against your customary disdain for the masses and penchant for picking and choosing what laws to obey; makes this letter imperative. Over the last two weeks, you have struggled hard to stop the redesign of Nigeria’s currency. What you are doing is neither random nor incidental. True, Nigerians are undergoing an unprecedented scenario of cash and money crunch and citizens are having to buy the naira with naira. Difficult as the situation is, your intervention is not without purpose; it is in the course to executing a plan, a plan to ensure your presidential candidate monies himself into governance. In furtherance to your plan you hope to conscript the people of Kaduna state as your foot soldiers against the Federal Republic of Nigeria- now that is downright dangerous! In your broadcast of Thursday 16 February 2023, you told the people of Kaduna State to continue to use currencies that have been abrogated by the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Presidency. You have also committed to seal off and prosecute persons and organizations in Kaduna who do not accept the currencies. By your broadcast, you have invoked for yourself, executive, legislative, and judicial powers.You are inciting the people in Kaduna state to overthrow the Federal Govt for the establishment of a Kaduna Republic which you imagine should have its own currency and sovereignty within the Nigerian state. You have not only thumped the President in the chest, you have also trampled under foot the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which enshrines currency, coinage and legal tender as the 15th item under the exclusive legislative list. This is a grave offence against public order On the 6th of February, 2023, you wrote about fifth columnist that do not mean well for Nigeria. The problem is, you appear not to see that you are what you described. Indeed, there are none so blind than those who would rather not see. You seem to ignore how volatile elections are in Nigeria and how your actions at heating the polity at this moment is a terrible idea. During the 2019 elections, you carried out the same experiment in Kaduna when you trumped up a story of 66 Fulanis being killed in Kujama, a story the State Commissioner of Police denied. You have now moved your antics to the national space and you are pitching your ploy against a Supreme Court ruling in a matter that is purely an executive prerogative. Separation of powers exists for good cause- the cause of democracy. The people of Kaduna State and Nigerians have laboured under the yoke of the present administration. The democratic train is fast moving to February 25, 2023 (in 8 days), it will be in your own interest to jump off the rail track. You have recently been all about your lovey-dovey affection for ‘talakawas’; which of them do you refer to? For the avoidance of doubt, here is a summary of your score sheet in the talakawa and governance business: 1. Kaduna State under your administration, has witnessed unprecedented insecurity and deaths. You admitted to accessorizing murders by ‘paying killers to stop killing’ yet in the urban, rural and suburban areas, people and ‘your talakawas’ are either killed, kidnapped or on the line to suffer either of the two dreadful fates. interview-why-i-paid-herdsmen- to-stop-southern-kaduna- bloodshed-el-rufai-the-gov/ https://punchng.com/just-in- bandits-attack-kaduna- communities-security- operatives-feared-killed/?amp; https:// www.premiumtimesng.com/ news/headlines/268782-birnin- gwari-10-feared-killed-as- armed-bandits-attack-kaduna- communities.html?tztc=1; 2.

Let Democracy Thrive and Get Thee Off the Way. Gloria Mabeiam Ballason 17/2/2023 Ballason is the Chief Executive Officer of House of Justice and Principal Partner MIVE LEGALS https:// lawandsocietymagazine.com/ currency-redesign-open-letter- to-governor-nasir-el-rufai-by- gloria-mabiam-ballason-esq/ Open Letter To Governor Nasir El-Rufai By Oluyemi Fasipe The vituperative broadcast of Governor Nasir El-Rufai to the people of Kaduna State on Thursday should ordinarily give cause for concern to every patriotic Nigerian. The broadcast aside from being confrontational with the policy stance of the Nigerian federal government; is also at complete variance with the orders given by President Muhammadu Buhari. The broadcast of Governor El- Rufai came some hours after the early morning ‘state of the nation address by President Buhari on Thursday. The president made himself unambiguously clear that he was not unmindful of the suit before the supreme court but still went ahead to pronounce the revalidation of old N200 notes while he equally declared that the other two higher denominations have ceased to be legal tender. The instruction of the president and Commander-In-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces on the naira policy is clear enough & the counter instruction by Governor Nasir El-Rufai is clearly an incitement to violence. The counter order of Governor El- Rufai is equally an offence that should attract the attention of the law enforcement agencies notwithstanding the constitutional immunity enjoyed by the Kaduna State Governor. One is not totally unaware of the reality that President Buhari has a record of not obeying court rulings before now. This happened in the cases of Colonel Dasuki Sambo (Rtd), Ibraheem El-Zakizaki and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. One would have expected Governor El-Rufai to have spoken truth to power at least in one out of the many instances of disobedience of court rulings by President Buhari. It is however worthy of acknowledgement that the lingering scarcity of new naira notes has undoubtedly inflicted untold hardship and pain on innocent Nigerians including my very self. But we must however come to the quick realization that cutting off a head plagued by headaches can never be a good solution. Agreed that Governor El-Rufai and some other state governors have taken the federal government to the Supreme court over the legal tender status of old N500 and N1000 notes. Nonetheless, we are all witnesses to the order of the supreme court that all parties in the suit should maintain status quo ante bellum pending the determination of the substantive suit. But the position of the supreme court should never have been enough reason for Governor El-Rufai to have usurped the constitutional power and authority of President Buhari. The self-seeking broadcast of Governor El-Rufai has unfortunately elevated him to the position of president alongside President Muhammadu Buhari. It is most disturbing that personal interests and political desperation have sadly blindfolded El-Rufai to the point of outright disregard for the person and orders of a sitting president. Beyond the facade of a plea for calm and peace in Governor El- Rufai’s broadcast, the true intent of the Kaduna Governor is to incite Nigerians to violence. He even disappointedly alluded to a grand plot of a scheme to frustrate the forthcoming elections with the hope of foisting an interim government to be headed by a retired Army General on Nigerians. These are grave allegations and law enforcement agencies are expected to swiftly interrogate Governor El-Rufai. The Kaduna State Governor needs to tell the DSS what he knows that the rest of us probably did not know. He must also desist from teaching the Central Bankers how to carry out their duties. He apparently did not know the back-end operations of the CBN and should stop dishing out confusing figures that are capable of inciting the masses to violent protests.In addition, grave allegations of El-Rufai should also call for urgent attention and reactions by the federal government. Notwithstanding the immunity of Governor El-Rufai, he can still be investigated and have security searchlights beamed around him in the meantime. It will also not be out of place for the president to declare a state of emergency in the whole of Kaduna State in a bid to ease El- Rufai from office and also stop him from unnecessarily hitting up the polity. How on earth can a governor that sacked more than 60,000 workers from the workforce of Kaduna State ever lay claim to champion the cause of the poor? One would have expected El- Rufai and his co-travellers to have taken the federal government to court before now over hyperinflation, insecurity, scarcity and a hike in the price of petrol if they are truly fighting for the masses. It is a settled aphorism that two wrongs can never make a right. Whatever may have been the reservations of Governor El- Rufai, he ought to have exercised restraint until the Supreme court would make a pronouncement on February 22, 2023. In view of this, the usurpation of the powers of President Buhari by Governor Nasir El-Rufai is totally condemnable. Meanwhile, on the way out of the current naira scarcity, the solution is multi-dimensional. To start with, Nigerians must give peace a chance and allow the Money Deposit Banks to return to full service and also put a halt to the destruction and burning of banking facilities. Truth is that commercial banks are needed to circulate the new and old naira notes and any attempt to destroy banking facilities can only worsen the problem. On the order hand, the Nigerian Central Bank must as a matter of urgency pump new naira notes into the system and also ensure that the revalidated N200 notes are aggressively made to flood all banks in the country. More so, officials of the CBN must intensify their monitoring duties to put likely saboteurs on their toes. Above all, all erring bank branches must be heavily sanctioned to serve as deference to others.

Simi, has lashed
Singer Simisola Ogunleye- Kosoko aka out at the Independent National Electoral Commission, saying the N350 billion wasted on election logistics should have been used to fix schools and hospitals. She made this known via her Twitter handle while calling out INEC on Monday, March 20. She tweeted:- “300 billion naira budget for this joke of an election. @inecnigeria you might have as well given them back the money to fix some hospitals and schools and just used finger to point at the people you wanted to select.” She added:- “The blatant rigging and nobody in power addressed it. Lol. Giant problem of Africa. “Anybody that saw the disenfranchisement and didn’t condemn it better keep their prayers for Nigeria. She doesn’t need prayers from people like you.”

``` ```Enugu: IPAC Tells INEC To Announce Collated Results ``` by hdaveyork(m) : 7:34 am On Mar 22 |
Enugu: IPAC Tells INEC To
Announce Collated Results ``` ``` ``` ``` March 18 guber election: Enugu political parties ask INEC to announce already collated results from 17 LGAs without further delay Political parties in Enugu State under the auspices of Inter- Party Advisory Council (IPAC) have called on the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to direct the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Enugu State, Dr. Chukwuemeka J. Chukwu and the State Returning Officer, Prof. Maduebibisi O. Iwe to as a matter of urgency announce the already collated results of governorship election from the 17 local government areas and declare the winner of the election without further delay. IPAC which made the call during a press conference in Enugu, on Tuesday, stated that “any action short of this will be outside the law and could bring anarchy to an already fragile situation,” stressing that “INEC has no power under our laws to review collated results.” Leaders of the political parties at the press conference were Hon. Chief Edwin Ikechukwu Alor of Accord Party and State Chairman of IPAC; Hon. Innocent Ezeoha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Deputy Chairman of IPAC; Dr. Afam Ani of APP; Barr. Ken Ikeh of APM; Elvis Ugwoke of ZLP who is the Secretary General of IPAC; and Hon. Nnaemeka Oko of AAC. Others were Hon. Stella Chukwuma of ADC; Hon. Dr. Mrs. Chinyere Madike of ADP; Hon. Louis Chiedozie Ugwu of NRM and Hon. Sir Magnus Ezea of SDP. The parties maintained that “the results of the 17 Local Government Areas (LGAs), including those of Nkanu East and Nsukka LGAs, were all collated by the State Returning Officer on March 19, 2023” stating that “by the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022, the only other duty remaining for the State Returning Officer, who is acting on INEC’s behalf is to add up the figures, announce them, and declare the winner in line with Section 65 and 66 of the Electoral Act 2022.” Describing the delay in the announcement of the final result of the March 18, 2023 governorship election in Enugu State, which was won by the candidate of the PDP, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, as “needless confusion and restiveness” IPAC said: It is our strong view that the INEC State Returning Officer has discharged his statutory responsibility by collating the results of all the 17 local government areas, including those of Nkanu East and Nsukka Local Government Areas. The remaining responsibility for the State Returning Officer is to announce results and declare the winner. INEC cannot be a judge in its own case, if any.” The political parties stressed that “the law in Section 130(1) of the Electoral Act is also mindful to make provisions for the adjudication of any complaint against a return made by the Returning Officer. “Section 130(1) provides: No election and return at an election under this Act shall be questioned in any manner other than by a petition complaining of an undue election or undue return presented to the competent tribunal or court in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution or of this Act, and in which the person elected or returned is joined as a party. “The collation centre is not an Election Tribunal or the law court where redress is sought. The State Collation Center is to accept results as they come, collate and announce them, and ultimately declare the winner. “Consequently, it is our strong view that the INEC State Returning Officer has discharged his statutory responsibility by collating the results of all the 17 local government areas, including those of Nkanu East and Nsukka Local Government Areas. The remaining responsibility for the State Returning Officer is to announce results and declare the winner. INEC cannot be a judge in its own case, if any. “We call INEC’s attention to the case of the Presidential and National Assembly elections where the Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu stood his ground, completed the collation process and announced the result despite all protests. “Equally, the elections in Ebonyi State, Rivers State and Lagos State, which were fraught with violence, ballot box snatching, over-voting and all sorts of complaints were declared despite these shortcomings. “So, we see no good reason why the announcement of the final results and declaration of the winner in the Enugu governorship election, which is adjudged comparatively free, fair and credible should be placed on hold because of the desperation of a few individuals and at the expense of the masses who freely exercised their franchise and made a statement through the ballot. “We are, therefore, urging the National Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to direct the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Enugu State and the State Returning Officer to as a matter of urgency do the needful by announcing the result of governorship election without delay and declare the winner with immediate effect. Any action short of this will be outside the law and could bring anarchy to an already fragile situation. IPAC further maintained that Enugu State governorship election results from the 17 local government areas of the state were duly collated by INEC State Returning Officer on Sunday, March 19, 2023, reiterating that the statement from INEC National Headquarters suspending collation of results in one LGA in Abia State and two LGAs in Enugu State is not applicable to Enugu case because there is no result that has not been collated in the state prior to the suspension by INEC. Recall that the Enugu State PDP through its Campaign Council had disagreed with the INEC on its decision to suspend the announcement of the final results and declaration of Dr. Peter Mbah as the winner of the Enugu State governorship contest, stressing that the election management body was overreaching itself, as it could not, by law, suspend the declaration of an already collated result. The PDP equally also said INEC was wrong to present the Abia and Enugu cases as the same, pointing out that “Putting the Abia and Enugu situations in one basket clearly shows that the national headquarters of INEC is mixing things up or has not been properly briefed. There is absolutely nothing like outstanding local governments as far as the collation process in Enugu State is concerned. “Unlike the situation in Abia State, the results of the entire 17 LGAs of Enugu State, including those of Nkanu East and Nsukka LGAs, have been fully collated by the Returning Officer, Prof Maduebibisi Ofo Iwe, on Sunday the 19th of March. What remains for the INEC is to sum up the returns by the Local Government Returning Officers and declare our candidate, Dr. Mbah the governor-elect. “That is why we are saying that INEC is overreaching itself; they have no powers at this stage to suspend the pronouncement or declaration of the winner of the election, which is our candidate. “Section 64( of the Electoral Act 2022 provides that where collation has been completed as in the present case of Enugu State, the duty of the collation officer, who collated the result is to announce the result and make a declaration. Therefore, having collated the results from Nsukka LGA and Nkanu East LGA, the statutory duty and legal responsibility of the State Returning Officer is simply to announce and declare the results, as INEC cannot, by law, suspend the declaration of result already collated,” the PDP said. On issues relating to accreditation and votes cast in a polling unit and the fate of such votes where they exceed the number of accredited voters in such units, the PDP said such are guided by Section 51(2) of the Act. “The position of the law is that a Returning Officer has no power to cancel any results at the stage of collation. The only option open to any person dissatisfied with the process is to resort to Section 130(1) of the Electoral Act, which vests the power to receive and adjudicate petitions complaining of an undue election or undue return in an election in the tribunal or court. “As a matter of fact, we are dissatisfied with the result from Nsukka Local Government Area. We are dissatisfied with the results from Udenu, Isi-Uzo, Ezeagu, and more. But is not for us to take the laws into our hands or indulge in self-help. That is why we are ready to go and interrogate those results at the appropriate quarters because we can no longer complain as the collation has been completed. “INEC cannot choose the ones you will collate to release the result and the ones you will collate and withhold the result”, the PDP emphasised. “We believe that the Returning Officer for Nkanu East Local Government Area has duly complied with the provision of Sections 64(4)(a)&(b) and Section 64(a)&(d) of the Electoral Act 2022. ”We consequently restate our position that the only option left to INEC acting through the State Returning Officer for the Enugu State Governorship Election under Section 64( of the Electoral Act 2022 is to announce the results and make a declaration of the winner of the election. “We therefore call on INEC to immediately announce the summation of the 17 local governments it has already collated and declare Dr. Peter Ndubisi Mbah the winner of the March election”, the PDP reiterated. The PDP also expressed worries that the INEC was already overheating the Enugu polity by the needless delay in the pronouncement of the winner of the governorship election. “We will continue to caution that INEC should not take the patience of the electorate and people of Enugu for granted. We know what it took us today to rein in their voluminous anger as it relates to the delay in the declaration of Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah as governor-elect and we are calling on the INEC to cease forthwith this foot-dragging and declare our candidate the duly elected candidate in the last election” the PDP stressed. The party also condemned what it described as desperate and hypocritical approach of the Labour Party to the elections. “In the instance, our Enugu East senatorial candidate lost his election to return to the Senate to the Labour Party. It was the same process that produced the result that gave Labour Party the victory that also produced the winner of the governorship election in the Nkanu East in the same senatorial zone. But while the Labour Party has accepted the result for the Senate, they are contesting the governorship that the same process produced. This is hypocrisy”, the party concluded. ``` ``` https:// dailypost.ng/2023/03/21/enugu- guber-ipac-asks-inec-to- announce-collated-results/
