It is not just all about agitation, there are more than the eyes can see.
Former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Walter Onnoghen, who was suspended from office by President Muhammadu Buhari in January over assets declaration matters, was absent at his trial Tuesday by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, reportedly due to high blood pressure, it has been revealed.
The court had on Monday ordered a day-to-day trial of Justice Onnoghen over allegedly not declaring or disclosing his assets as prescribed by law, and for maintaining foreign bank accounts.
This was after the tribunal reserved ruling on his two applications challenging his trial till the day of its final judgment on the the substantive case.
However, when the trial resumed today, Onnoghen was absent in court.
His counsel, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, explained his absence on medical grounds while tendering a medical report to support his claim.
The said report, among other things, stated that Justice Onnoghen was suffering from high blood pressure and needed a 72-hour bed rest.
The Independent National National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the governorship election in Adamawa, Benue and Plateau and Kano states inconclusive.
In Benue, INEC said Governor Samuel Ortom, who contested on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) polled 410,576 votes, followed by the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Emmanuel Jime, who polled 329,022 votes.
The state Returning Officer, Prof. Sabastine Maimako, announced the results and said the reason for declaring the election inconclusive was because the total number of cancelled votes was more than the margin of win.
He gave the total number of cancelled votes as 121,019 as against the margin of win which is 81, 554 in favour of Ortom.
Maimako noted that as a result of the difference, the election had to be declared inconclusive and added that supplementary elections would hold within 21 days.
In Yola, capital of Adamawa State, INEC declared the governorship election inconclusive, after the total figure from cancellations of polls in 44 polling units were higher than the margin between the two leading candidates. INEC said a date for the rerun would soon be announced.
The state Returning Officer, Professor Andrew Haruna made the announcement at the INEC head office, yesterday.
However, results of the 21 local governments in Adamawa, pointed at a PDP win as the party had already cleared 12 of the 21 local governments results declared by Haruna; of the Federal University, Gashuwa.
It was no different in Plateau State as the governorship poll was also declared inconclusive due to cancellation of results in 41 polling uints in nine local government areas of the state.
The state Returning Officer, Prof. Richard Anande, who declared the poll inconclusive said the the incumbent Governor and APC candidate, Simon Lalong polled 583, 255 votes, while his closest contender and PDP candidate, Senator Jeremiah Useni, got 538, 326 votes. Lalong won in 11 local government areas with a leading margin of 44,929 while Jeremiah Useni won in six councils.
From Abuja, the decried the declaration of the governorship elections in Adamawa, Plateau , Bauchi, Sokoto and Benue states as inconclusive.
In Kano, yesterday night, the REC said the cancelled votes of over 124, 000 was more than the margin of victory.
Consequently, the PDP charged its members in the affected states to embark on protests to INEC offices and deploy all legitimate means to secure the mandate given to the party by the electorate.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, made the call, at a press briefing in Abuja, yesterday.
He said: “The PDP has full intelligence of how INEC is acting on instructions…in orchestrating unwholesome situations and declaring already concluded governorship elections in Sokoto, Adamawa, Bauchi, Plateau as well as other states as inconclusive, immediately it becomes obvious that the PDP was set to win.
“This also informs the foisting of unexplainable stoppage and delays in the announcement of already collated results in other states where the PDP is clearly leading the race, from the results so far declared at the polling units.
“Our party has also been informed of how INEC is now seeking ways to use the situation to aid the APC to alter the results and announce APC candidates as winners in the elections clearly led by the PDP just as it did in the 2018 Osun State governorship election…
The name of Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has been removed from list of elected senators by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
At INEC website, a note for Imo West simply said: “Declared under duress.”
Okorocha was announced winner of the senatorial election of February 23, but returning officer for the election, Innocent Ibeabuchi, later said he was forced to declare the governor winner.
The commission’s chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, had last week said the commission would not issue certificate of Return to any candidate declared winner of an election under duress.
“The commission will not tolerate the act of holding our officials hostage and forcing them to declare winners under duress. Where such occurs, the commission will not reward bad behaviour by issuing them certificates of return,” he said.
Tension has gripped personnel in the armed forces following the authorities’ determination to probe the conduct of some of officers and men during the last governorship and state House of Assembly elections, especially in Rivers, Bayelsa and Adamawa states.
In Rivers State, soldiers were accused of raiding collation centres, to the extent that they clashed with policemen. Following violence in the state, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) suspended all electoral process.
Sources at the army headquarters in Abuja told Daily Sun that some general officers commanding (GOCs), commanders and commanding officers in various units and divisions where soldiers were accused of interfering with the electoral process would be asked to explain the role of their men before, during and after the elections.
It was gathered that the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant-General Tukur Buratai, has set up a special committee, headed by Major-General Gagariga, to investigate the conduct of army personnel during the elections.
The committee, which has commenced work, is expected to visit all the affected states and interact with the governors and all stakeholders involved in the elections.
Already, the army headquarters has, through a letter from the office of the Chief of Policy and Plans (COPP), summoned commanders of the affected units.
It was gathered that commanders from some states in the North East have reported and are currently undergoing interrogation.
Also, commanders from some Niger Delta states, like Delta and Akwa Ibom, have reported to the army headquarters, while those from Rivers State, where the major crisis took place, are expected today.
The army chief is said to be unhappy with what happened in Rivers, where the army barricaded the road leading to the headquarters of the INEC, and harassing observers, journalists and policemen on election duty.
A statement issued by the acting director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sagir Musa, the service earlier said politicians hired hoodlums dressed in army camouflage to cause commotion during the elections. The authorities are investigating further.
Sources revealed that the committee set up by Buratai would interrogate the commanding officers in the affected states, INEC officials and police personnel, in a bid to find out what happened. The committee would make recommendations to the army authorities. Those found wanting risk retirement at prosecution, it was gathered.
It was gathered that there is a searchlight on the GOC, 6 Division in particular, who had been accused by Governor Nyesom Wike of partisanship.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army has described a statement issued by the United Kingdom over the military’s involvement in Rivers State’s elections as baseless and untrue and capable of misleading the public.
It has advised the UK and other foreign interests to be mindful of interfering in Nigeria’s internal affairs, especially when they do not have credible evidence.
Army spokesman, Sagir Musa, in a statement, said the allegation against the Nigerian Army must be confirmed from appropriate quarters before jumping to conclusions.
Sagir said: “The attention of the Nigerian Army (NA) has been drawn to a publication by an online medium that reported accusation against the NA of interference in the Rivers State elections.
“The NA wishes to state that the statement is totally baseless, untrue and, therefore, capable of misleading unsuspected members of the public, especially when there is no credible record of such involvement anywhere in Nigeria before, during and after the 2019 elections.
“The NA, as a responsible organisation, wishes to debunk such misrepresentation in order to set the record straight. Similarly, it is on record that the NA has been globally applauded by many individuals, foreign and local elections observers, for its sacrifices/roles in creating an enabling environment for a secure, transparent and peaceful conduct of the elections.
“The statement confirmed the investigation of complaints against the army, as Sagir said: “Already the COAS has set-up a committee to investigate all complains relating to alleged professional misconduct by NA personnel in the conduct of the elections.
“Members of the public are further assured of the determination of the NA to objectively carry out its constitutional duties irrespective of the baseless accusations especially from those who felt it has denied them freedom to illegally and selfishly subvert the choice of Nigerians.”
Moreso, the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Rivers State, which represents 86 political parties and 54 governorship candidates in the state, has called on the national chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to disregard the calls by a few All Progressives Congress-sponsored governorship candidates for the transfer of the Rivers State resident electoral commissioner (REC), Mr. Obo Effanga, and the administrative secretary of INEC.
State chairman of IPAC, Precious Baridoo, speaking on the heels of the suspension of Rivers State governorship and House of Assembly elections and the call by some parties, including the AAC, for immediate removal of Effanga, said it was aimed at creating an ugly atmosphere to rig the election.
