\n The Presidency has denied speculations that the Buhari administration has banned Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.\n

\n

\n Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President on Media Chat on Wednesday, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the speculations were unfounded, and that the Buhari administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom as it affects everyone.\n

\n

\n Mr. Shehu, while admitting thatHijab is being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violates the teachings of Islam, said the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.\n

\n
\n
\n

\n \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" the statement said.\n

\n

\n According to him, the increasing abuse of the Hijabby terrorists to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities is a reality, and that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.\n

"method": "rearrange_description"}], "key": "description", "value": " \n By Senator Iroegbu in Abuja, Wole Ayodele in Jalingo and Emmanuel Ugwu in Umuahia \n The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja and Owerri on Thursday affirmed Mr. Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Mr. Alex Otti of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as winners of the April 11 governorship elections in Taraba and Abia States, respectively. \n The Abuja appellate court, in its judgment, set aside the decision of the state Election Petitions Tribunal, which sacked the Taraba governor from office based on pre-election matters. \n Delivering judgment on the three appeals and cross-appeal that emanated from the judgment of the tribunal, which sat in Abuja because of security concerns in the North-east, a five-member panel of justices headed by Justice Abdul Aboki set aside the ruling of the tribunal. \n Justice Aboki, who read the unanimous judgment, held that it was a gross misdirection for the tribunal to have declared the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mrs. Aisha Jumai Alhassan, also known as \"Mama Taraba\", winner of the gubernatorial poll on the basis that she scored the second highest number of votes in the election. \n The court also held that from the evidence of witnesses to the petitioners before the tribunal, Ishaku was validly elected and sponsored by his party, the PDP, to vie for the governorship seat of the state in accordance with the constitution, the Electoral Act and in accordance with the election guidelines as laid down by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). \"Therefore the judgment of the Taraba State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal is hereby declared null, void and set aside in its entirety. \n \"The appellant's appeal is meritorious and is hereby allowed,\" Justice Aboki held. The judge went further to affirm \"Darius Dickson Ishaku as the dully elected governor of Taraba State\". According to the court, APC and its governorship candidate, who were the first and second respondents in the appeal, had no locus standi under the law to challenge the primary election of the PDP, which produced Ishaku as its candidate for the election as none of them is a member of the PDP. \n It also held that INEC superintends the activities of political parties and if there was any breach or failure of the PDP to give the electoral body 21 days notice of its primary as alleged, it should not have been the headache of the APC and its governorship candidate, adding that the only person that could have complained of the conduct of a party's primary election was the person who participated in the said primary election and INEC. \n According to the court, the Electoral Act specifies the procedures for the election and sponsorship of a candidate by a political party and that the right to complain is limited to participants in the primary election. \n The Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar-led tribunal, had in a petition filed by APC and Alhassan, held that the purported nomination of the governorship candidate by PDP breached Section 85 of the Electoral Act and ordered Ishaku to vacate his office. \n Justice Abubakar had in a judgment ordered that Alhassan be sworn in as governor because the PDP did not conduct a valid primary that threw Ishaku up as its standard-bearer. \n The tribunal however held that the APC governorship candidate could not adequately prove her allegation of \"over-voting, irregularities, and non-compliance with the Electoral Act 2010\". \n Dissatisfied with the judgment, Ishaku filed an appeal, asking the appellate court to set aside the judgment of the tribunal. Reacting to the appellate court's ruling yesterday, Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, was thrown into jubilation, as residents marched through major streets of the town in celebration of the judgment. \n Residents in their thousands took to the streets, particularly around Hammaruwa Way, ATC, Mile 6 and Magami in motorcades and moved round the town singing and dancing. \n Traffic was obstructed and halted for several hours in the town as the convoy, which included women and children, and was carrying large loudspeakers obstructed the flow of traffic along the major roads. \n Enyetere Ambituni, one of the jubilant residents, told THISDAY that the judiciary proved once again to be the last hope of the common man and had vindicated the majority of the people of the state who overwhelmingly voted for Ishaku as their governor. \n According to him, \"We are celebrating today because the judiciary has once again shown that it is the last hope of the oppressed. The people of Taraba who overwhelmingly voted Ishaku as their governor have been vindicated.\" \n In Owerri, the Appeal Court also nullified the election of the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, and declared the governorship candidate of APGA, Otti, as the winner of the governorship election conducted in April. Otti had gone to the appeal court to challenge the verdict of the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal which upheld the election of Ikpeazu. \n Just like he did at the tribunal, the APGA candidate contested the controversial results from Obingwa, Osisioma and Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Areas that the returning officer cancelled and later reversed. However, the results from the three local governments turned out to be the determinant in the Appeal Court's judgment delivered by Justice Oyebisi Omoleye. \n The five-member panel unanimously agreed that the controversial results should not have been included in the final results and therefore cancelled them and after doing the mathematics, held that Otti scored the highest number of valid votes. In the governorship poll, Ikpeazu had emerged winner with 264,713 as against 180,882 votes credited to Otti by INEC which was affirmed by the tribunal. \n But after subtracting the scores of the candidates in the three council areas, the appeal panel held that Otti scored a total of 164,332 votes as against 114,444 obtained by Ikpeazu. \n Accordingly, Justice Omoleye held that the APGA candidate was duly elected and should be sworn in as governor of Abia State. Expectedly, when the news of Otti's victory at the appeal court filtered into Umuahia, the capital, there were wild jubilations by supporters of APGA. Scores of jubilant party supporters mounted tricycles and drove along major streets of the capital city waving party flags, singing and praising Otti for his tenacity. \n However, the ruling by the appellate court did not go down well with Ikpeazu, whose aide said that the governor would \"definitely challenge the ruling at the Supreme Court\". \n Also addressing the press yesterday in Umuahia, Ikpeazu faulted the Appeal Court's judgment, saying that it was untenable and would be challenged at the Supreme Court. \n The Abia governor said that he had directed his lawyers to take immediate steps to challenge the judgment at the Supreme Court. \"I wish to state at this point that preliminary reports available to me indicate that the premise upon which the decision of the Court of Appeal was arrived at was at best tenuous,\" he said. \n The governor said that in going to the Supreme Court he has \"utmost confidence in the ability of the justices to correct the anomaly at the Court of Appeal and uphold my victory as had been done earlier by the Election Petitions Tribunal\". \n Ikpeazu said though he was yet to get a full briefing on the reason the Appeal Court nullified his election, his lawyers were still at Owerri doing everything possible to obtain a copy of the judgment. \n \"The next four days are public holidays and the timing of the judgment means that we are losing valuable days to study the judgment and file our appeal,\" he said. \n Ikpeazu assured residents of Abia that his status as governor had not changed, adding that all was well. \"I remain the governor of Abia State until the Supreme Court reaffirms my mandate freely given to me by Abians during the election,\" he said. \n To avoid a breakdown of law and order, Ikpeazu called on security agencies to maintain the peace and ensure that people go about their legitimate businesses without disruption. \n "}], "location_non_gpe": [{"confidence": 1, "provenance": [{"source": {"segment": "content_strict", "context": {"start": 135, "end": 138, "input": "tokens", "text": "of security concerns in the North -

The judge went further to affirm \"Darius Dickson Ishaku as the dully elected governor of Taraba State\". According to the court, APC and its governorship candidate, who were the first and second respondents in the appeal, had no locus standi under the law to challenge the primary election of the PDP, which produced Ishaku as its candidate for the election as none of them is a member of the PDP. \n It also held that INEC superintends the activities of political parties and if there was any breach or failure of the PDP to give the electoral body 21 days notice of its primary as alleged, it should not have been the headache of the APC and its governorship candidate, adding that the only person that could have complained of the conduct of a party's primary election was the person who participated in the said primary election and INEC. \n According to the court, the Electoral Act specifies the procedures for the election and sponsorship of a candidate by a political party and that the right to complain is limited to participants in the primary election. \n The Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar-led tribunal, had in a petition filed by APC and Alhassan, held that the purported nomination of the governorship candidate by PDP breached Section 85 of the Electoral Act and ordered Ishaku to vacate his office. \n Justice Abubakar had in a judgment ordered that Alhassan be sworn in as governor because the PDP did not conduct a valid primary that threw Ishaku up as its standard-bearer. \n The tribunal however held that the APC governorship candidate could not adequately prove her allegation of \"over-voting, irregularities, and non-compliance with the Electoral Act 2010\". \n Dissatisfied with the judgment, Ishaku filed an appeal, asking the appellate court to set aside the judgment of the tribunal. Reacting to the appellate court's ruling yesterday, Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, was thrown into jubilation, as residents marched through major streets of the town in celebration of the judgment. \n Residents in their thousands took to the streets, particularly around Hammaruwa Way, ATC, Mile 6 and Magami in motorcades and moved round the town singing and dancing. \n Traffic was obstructed and halted for several hours in the town as the convoy, which included women and children, and was carrying large loudspeakers obstructed the flow of traffic along the major roads. \n Enyetere Ambituni, one of the jubilant residents, told THISDAY that the judiciary proved once again to be the last hope of the common man and had vindicated the majority of the people of the state who overwhelmingly voted for Ishaku as their governor. \n According to him, \"We are celebrating today because the judiciary has once again shown that it is the last hope of the oppressed. The people of Taraba who overwhelmingly voted Ishaku as their governor have been vindicated.\" \n In Owerri, the Appeal Court also nullified the election of the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, and declared the governorship candidate of APGA, Otti, as the winner of the governorship election conducted in April. Otti had gone to the appeal court to challenge the verdict of the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal which upheld the election of Ikpeazu. \n Just like he did at the tribunal, the APGA candidate contested the controversial results from Obingwa, Osisioma and Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Areas that the returning officer cancelled and later reversed. However, the results from the three local governments turned out to be the determinant in the Appeal Court's judgment delivered by Justice Oyebisi Omoleye. \n The five-member panel unanimously agreed that the controversial results should not have been included in the final results and therefore cancelled them and after doing the mathematics, held that Otti scored the highest number of valid votes. In the governorship poll, Ikpeazu had emerged winner with 264,713 as against 180,882 votes credited to Otti by INEC which was affirmed by the tribunal. \n But after subtracting the scores of the candidates in the three council areas, the appeal panel held that Otti scored a total of 164,332 votes as against 114,444 obtained by Ikpeazu. \n Accordingly, Justice Omoleye held that the APGA candidate was duly elected and should be sworn in as governor of Abia State. Expectedly, when the news of Otti's victory at the appeal court filtered into Umuahia, the capital, there were wild jubilations by supporters of APGA. Scores of jubilant party supporters mounted tricycles and drove along major streets of the capital city waving party flags, singing and praising Otti for his tenacity. \n However, the ruling by the appellate court did not go down well with Ikpeazu, whose aide said that the governor would \"definitely challenge the ruling at the Supreme Court\". \n Also addressing the press yesterday in Umuahia, Ikpeazu faulted the Appeal Court's judgment, saying that it was untenable and would be challenged at the Supreme Court. \n The Abia governor said that he had directed his lawyers to take immediate steps to challenge the judgment at the Supreme Court. \"I wish to state at this point that preliminary reports available to me indicate that the premise upon which the decision of the Court of Appeal was arrived at was at best tenuous,\" he said. \n The governor said that in going to the Supreme Court he has \"utmost confidence in the ability of the justices to correct the anomaly at the Court of Appeal and uphold my victory as had been done earlier by the Election Petitions Tribunal\". \n Ikpeazu said though he was yet to get a full briefing on the reason the Appeal Court nullified his election, his lawyers were still at Owerri doing everything possible to obtain a copy of the judgment. \n \"The next four days are public holidays and the timing of the judgment means that we are losing valuable days to study the judgment and file our appeal,\" he said. \n Ikpeazu assured residents of Abia that his status as governor had not changed, adding that all was well. \"I remain the governor of Abia State until the Supreme Court reaffirms my mandate freely given to me by Abians during the election,\" he said. \n To avoid a breakdown of law and order, Ikpeazu called on security agencies to maintain the peace and ensure that people go about their legitimate businesses without disruption. \n Copyright \n 2016 This Day.

The judge went further to affirm \"Darius Dickson Ishaku as the dully elected governor of Taraba State\". According to the court, APC and its governorship candidate, who were the first and second respondents in the appeal, had no locus standi under the law to challenge the primary election of the PDP, which produced Ishaku as its candidate for the election as none of them is a member of the PDP. \n It also held that INEC superintends the activities of political parties and if there was any breach or failure of the PDP to give the electoral body 21 days notice of its primary as alleged, it should not have been the headache of the APC and its governorship candidate, adding that the only person that could have complained of the conduct of a party's primary election was the person who participated in the said primary election and INEC. \n According to the court, the Electoral Act specifies the procedures for the election and sponsorship of a candidate by a political party and that the right to complain is limited to participants in the primary election. \n The Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar-led tribunal, had in a petition filed by APC and Alhassan, held that the purported nomination of the governorship candidate by PDP breached Section 85 of the Electoral Act and ordered Ishaku to vacate his office. \n Justice Abubakar had in a judgment ordered that Alhassan be sworn in as governor because the PDP did not conduct a valid primary that threw Ishaku up as its standard-bearer. \n The tribunal however held that the APC governorship candidate could not adequately prove her allegation of \"over-voting, irregularities, and non-compliance with the Electoral Act 2010\". \n Dissatisfied with the judgment, Ishaku filed an appeal, asking the appellate court to set aside the judgment of the tribunal. Reacting to the appellate court's ruling yesterday, Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, was thrown into jubilation, as residents marched through major streets of the town in celebration of the judgment. \n Residents in their thousands took to the streets, particularly around Hammaruwa Way, ATC, Mile 6 and Magami in motorcades and moved round the town singing and dancing. \n Traffic was obstructed and halted for several hours in the town as the convoy, which included women and children, and was carrying large loudspeakers obstructed the flow of traffic along the major roads. \n Enyetere Ambituni, one of the jubilant residents, told THISDAY that the judiciary proved once again to be the last hope of the common man and had vindicated the majority of the people of the state who overwhelmingly voted for Ishaku as their governor. \n According to him, \"We are celebrating today because the judiciary has once again shown that it is the last hope of the oppressed. The people of Taraba who overwhelmingly voted Ishaku as their governor have been vindicated.\" \n In Owerri, the Appeal Court also nullified the election of the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, and declared the governorship candidate of APGA, Otti, as the winner of the governorship election conducted in April. Otti had gone to the appeal court to challenge the verdict of the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal which upheld the election of Ikpeazu. \n Just like he did at the tribunal, the APGA candidate contested the controversial results from Obingwa, Osisioma and Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Areas that the returning officer cancelled and later reversed. However, the results from the three local governments turned out to be the determinant in the Appeal Court's judgment delivered by Justice Oyebisi Omoleye. \n The five-member panel unanimously agreed that the controversial results should not have been included in the final results and therefore cancelled them and after doing the mathematics, held that Otti scored the highest number of valid votes. In the governorship poll, Ikpeazu had emerged winner with 264,713 as against 180,882 votes credited to Otti by INEC which was affirmed by the tribunal. \n But after subtracting the scores of the candidates in the three council areas, the appeal panel held that Otti scored a total of 164,332 votes as against 114,444 obtained by Ikpeazu. \n Accordingly, Justice Omoleye held that the APGA candidate was duly elected and should be sworn in as governor of Abia State. Expectedly, when the news of Otti's victory at the appeal court filtered into Umuahia, the capital, there were wild jubilations by supporters of APGA. Scores of jubilant party supporters mounted tricycles and drove along major streets of the capital city waving party flags, singing and praising Otti for his tenacity. \n However, the ruling by the appellate court did not go down well with Ikpeazu, whose aide said that the governor would \"definitely challenge the ruling at the Supreme Court\". \n Also addressing the press yesterday in Umuahia, Ikpeazu faulted the Appeal Court's judgment, saying that it was untenable and would be challenged at the Supreme Court. \n The Abia governor said that he had directed his lawyers to take immediate steps to challenge the judgment at the Supreme Court. \"I wish to state at this point that preliminary reports available to me indicate that the premise upon which the decision of the Court of Appeal was arrived at was at best tenuous,\" he said. \n The governor said that in going to the Supreme Court he has \"utmost confidence in the ability of the justices to correct the anomaly at the Court of Appeal and uphold my victory as had been done earlier by the Election Petitions Tribunal\". \n Ikpeazu said though he was yet to get a full briefing on the reason the Appeal Court nullified his election, his lawyers were still at Owerri doing everything possible to obtain a copy of the judgment. \n \"The next four days are public holidays and the timing of the judgment means that we are losing valuable days to study the judgment and file our appeal,\" he said. \n Ikpeazu assured residents of Abia that his status as governor had not changed, adding that all was well. \"I remain the governor of Abia State until the Supreme Court reaffirms my mandate freely given to me by Abians during the election,\" he said. \n To avoid a breakdown of law and order, Ikpeazu called on security agencies to maintain the peace and ensure that people go about their legitimate businesses without disruption. \n ", "simple_tokens": ["\n", "by", "senator", "iroegbu", "in", "abuja", ",", "wole",

\n \n By Senator Iroegbu in Abuja, Wole Ayodele in Jalingo and Emmanuel Ugwu in Umuahia\n \n

\n The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja and Owerri on Thursday affirmed Mr. Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Mr. Alex Otti of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as winners of the April 11 governorship elections in Taraba and Abia States, respectively.\n

\n

\n The Abuja appellate court, in its judgment, set aside the decision of the state Election Petitions Tribunal, which sacked the Taraba governor from office based on pre-election matters.\n

\n

\n Delivering judgment on the three appeals and cross-appeal that emanated from the judgment of the tribunal, which sat in Abuja because of security concerns in the North-east, a five-member panel of justices headed by Justice Abdul Aboki set aside the ruling of the tribunal.\n

\n

\n Justice Aboki, who read the unanimous judgment, held that it was a gross misdirection for the tribunal to have declared the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mrs. Aisha Jumai Alhassan, also known as \"Mama Taraba\", winner of the gubernatorial poll on the basis that she scored the second highest number of votes in the election.\n

\n

\n The court also held that from the evidence of witnesses to the petitioners before the tribunal, Ishaku was validly elected and sponsored by his party, the PDP, to vie for the governorship seat of the state in accordance with the constitution, the Electoral Act and in accordance with the election guidelines as laid down by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). \"Therefore the judgment of the Taraba State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal is hereby declared null, void and set aside in its entirety.\n

\n

\n \"The appellant's appeal is meritorious and is hereby allowed,\" Justice Aboki held. The judge went further to affirm \"Darius Dickson Ishaku as the dully elected governor of Taraba State\". According to the court, APC and its governorship candidate, who were the first and second respondents in the appeal, had no locus standi under the law to challenge the primary election of the PDP, which produced Ishaku as its candidate for the election as none of them is a member of the PDP.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n It also held that INEC superintends the activities of political parties and if there was any breach or failure of the PDP to give the electoral body 21 days notice of its primary as alleged, it should not have been the headache of the APC and its governorship candidate, adding that the only person that could have complained of the conduct of a party's primary election was the person who participated in the said primary election and INEC.\n

\n

\n According to the court, the Electoral Act specifies the procedures for the election and sponsorship of a candidate by a political party and that the right to complain is limited to participants in the primary election.\n

\n

\n The Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar-led tribunal, had in a petition filed by APC and Alhassan, held that the purported nomination of the governorship candidate by PDP breached Section 85 of the Electoral Act and ordered Ishaku to vacate his office.\n

\n

\n Justice Abubakar had in a judgment ordered that Alhassan be sworn in as governor because the PDP did not conduct a valid primary that threw Ishaku up as its standard-bearer.\n

\n

\n The tribunal however held that the APC governorship candidate could not adequately prove her allegation of \"over-voting, irregularities, and non-compliance with the Electoral Act 2010\".\n

\n

\n Dissatisfied with the judgment, Ishaku filed an appeal, asking the appellate court to set aside the judgment of the tribunal. Reacting to the appellate court's ruling yesterday, Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, was thrown into jubilation, as residents marched through major streets of the town in celebration of the judgment.\n

\n

\n Residents in their thousands took to the streets, particularly around Hammaruwa Way, ATC, Mile 6 and Magami in motorcades and moved round the town singing and dancing.\n

\n

\n Traffic was obstructed and halted for several hours in the town as the convoy, which included women and children, and was carrying large loudspeakers obstructed the flow of traffic along the major roads.\n

\n
\n
\n

\n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n Enyetere Ambituni, one of the jubilant residents, told THISDAY that the judiciary proved once again to be the last hope of the common man and had vindicated the majority of the people of the state who overwhelmingly voted for Ishaku as their governor.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n According to him, \"We are celebrating today because the judiciary has once again shown that it is the last hope of the oppressed. The people of Taraba who overwhelmingly voted Ishaku as their governor have been vindicated.\"\n

\n

\n In Owerri, the Appeal Court also nullified the election of the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, and declared the governorship candidate of APGA, Otti, as the winner of the governorship election conducted in April. Otti had gone to the appeal court to challenge the verdict of the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal which upheld the election of Ikpeazu.\n

\n

\n Just like he did at the tribunal, the APGA candidate contested the controversial results from Obingwa, Osisioma and Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Areas that the returning officer cancelled and later reversed. However, the results from the three local governments turned out to be the determinant in the Appeal Court's judgment delivered by Justice Oyebisi Omoleye.\n

\n

\n The five-member panel unanimously agreed that the controversial results should not have been included in the final results and therefore cancelled them and after doing the mathematics, held that Otti scored the highest number of valid votes. In the governorship poll, Ikpeazu had emerged winner with 264,713 as against 180,882 votes credited to Otti by INEC which was affirmed by the tribunal.\n

\n

\n But after subtracting the scores of the candidates in the three council areas, the appeal panel held that Otti scored a total of 164,332 votes as against 114,444 obtained by Ikpeazu.\n

\n

\n Accordingly, Justice Omoleye held that the APGA candidate was duly elected and should be sworn in as governor of Abia State. Expectedly, when the news of Otti's victory at the appeal court filtered into Umuahia, the capital, there were wild jubilations by supporters of APGA. Scores of jubilant party supporters mounted tricycles and drove along major streets of the capital city waving party flags, singing and praising Otti for his tenacity.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n However, the ruling by the appellate court did not go down well with Ikpeazu, whose aide said that the governor would \"definitely challenge the ruling at the Supreme Court\".\n

\n

\n Also addressing the press yesterday in Umuahia, Ikpeazu faulted the Appeal Court's judgment, saying that it was untenable and would be challenged at the Supreme Court.\n

\n

\n The Abia governor said that he had directed his lawyers to take immediate steps to challenge the judgment at the Supreme Court. \"I wish to state at this point that preliminary reports available to me indicate that the premise upon which the decision of the Court of Appeal was arrived at was at best tenuous,\" he said.\n

\n

\n The governor said that in going to the Supreme Court he has \"utmost confidence in the ability of the justices to correct the anomaly at the Court of Appeal and uphold my victory as had been done earlier by the Election Petitions Tribunal\".\n

\n

\n Ikpeazu said though he was yet to get a full briefing on the reason the Appeal Court nullified his election, his lawyers were still at Owerri doing everything possible to obtain a copy of the judgment.\n

\n

\n \"The next four days are public holidays and the timing of the judgment means that we are losing valuable days to study the judgment and file our appeal,\" he said.\n

\n

\n Ikpeazu assured residents of Abia that his status as governor had not changed, adding that all was well. \"I remain the governor of Abia State until the Supreme Court reaffirms my mandate freely given to me by Abians during the election,\" he said.\n

\n

\n To avoid a breakdown of law and order, Ikpeazu called on security agencies to maintain the peace and ensure that people go about their legitimate businesses without disruption.\n

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes. \n The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Augustine Ukwuoma, on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo. \n The statue, made of marble, is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt. \n Mr. Ukwuoma performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday. \n One Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue, had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012. \n The unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Mr. Obinna, Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha. \n Mr. Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Mr. Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church. \n \"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us. \n \"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said. \n Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society. \n \"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity. \n Mr. Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997. \n \"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith. \n \"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said. \n Mr. Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"It took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\" \n (NAN) \n "}], "location_non_gpe": [{"confidence": 1, "provenance": [{"source": {"segment": "content_strict", "context": {"start": 37, "end": 38, "input": "tokens", "text": "biggest of its kind in Africa .

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes. \n The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Augustine Ukwuoma, on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo. \n The statue, made of marble, is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt. \n Mr. Ukwuoma performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday. \n One Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue, had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012. \n The unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Mr. Obinna, Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha. \n Mr. Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Mr. Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church. \n \"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us. \n \"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said. \n Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society. \n \"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity. \n Mr. Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997. \n \"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith. \n \"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said. \n Mr. Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"It took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\" \n (NAN) \n Copyright \n 2016 Premium Times.

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes. \n The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Augustine Ukwuoma, on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo. \n The statue, made of marble, is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt. \n Mr. Ukwuoma performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday. \n One Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue, had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012. \n The unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Mr. Obinna, Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha. \n Mr. Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Mr. Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church. \n \"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us. \n \"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said. \n Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society. \n \"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity. \n Mr. Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997. \n \"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith. \n \"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said. \n Mr. Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"It took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\" \n (NAN) \n ", "simple_tokens": ["\n",

\n The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.\n
\n
\n

\n The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Augustine Ukwuoma, on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo.\n

\n

\n The statue, made of marble, is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt.\n

\n

\n Mr. Ukwuoma performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday.\n

\n

\n One Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue, had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n The unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Mr. Obinna, Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha.\n

\n

\n Mr. Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Mr. Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church.\n

\n

\n \"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us.\n

\n

\n \"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society.\n

\n

\n \"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n Mr. Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997.\n

\n

\n \"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith.\n

\n

\n \"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said.\n

\n

\n Mr. Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"It took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\"\n

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes. \n Nigeria, yesterday, unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. \n Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes. \n More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in Imo State, Southeastern Nigeria. \n It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012. \n In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike. \n \"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma. \n The cost of the statue has not been revealed. \n Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be \"the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent.\" \n The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary. \n Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension. \n More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north. \n And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been \"technically\" won. \n \"We think religions can exist side by side,\" Onuoha said. \"We hope that people can live in harmony.\" \n He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago. \n And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived. \n "}], "location_non_gpe": [{"confidence": 1, "provenance": [{"source": {"segment": "content_strict", "context": {"start": 37, "end": 38, "input": "tokens", "text": "biggest of its kind in Africa .

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes. \n Nigeria, yesterday, unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. \n Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes. \n More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in Imo State, Southeastern Nigeria. \n It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012. \n In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike. \n \"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma. \n The cost of the statue has not been revealed. \n Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be \"the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent.\" \n The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary. \n Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension. \n More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north. \n And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been \"technically\" won. \n \"We think religions can exist side by side,\" Onuoha said. \"We hope that people can live in harmony.\" \n He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago. \n And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived. \n Copyright \n 2016 This Day.

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes. \n Nigeria, yesterday, unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. \n Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes. \n More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in Imo State, Southeastern Nigeria. \n It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012. \n In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike. \n \"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma. \n The cost of the statue has not been revealed. \n Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be \"the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent.\" \n The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary. \n Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension. \n More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north. \n And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been \"technically\" won. \n \"We think religions can exist side by side,\" Onuoha said. \"We hope that people can live in harmony.\" \n He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago. \n And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived. \n ", "simple_tokens": ["\n", "photo", ":", "\n", "premium", "times", "\n", "the", "catholic", "church", "in", "nigeria", "has", "unveiled", "a", "nine", "-",

\n The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.\n
\n
\n

\n Nigeria, yesterday, unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa.\n

\n

\n Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes.\n

\n

\n More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in Imo State, Southeastern Nigeria.\n

\n

\n It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike.\n

\n

\n \"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma.\n

\n

\n The cost of the statue has not been revealed.\n

\n

\n Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be \"the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent.\"\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary.\n

\n

\n Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north.\n

\n

\n And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been \"technically\" won.\n

\n

\n \"We think religions can exist side by side,\" Onuoha said. \"We hope that people can live in harmony.\"\n

\n

\n He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago.\n

\n

\n And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived.\n

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes. \n Nigeria on Friday unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. \n Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes. \n More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in southeastern Nigeria. \n It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012. \n In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike. \n \"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma. \n The cost of the statue has not been revealed. \n Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be \"the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent.\" \n The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary. \n Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension. \n More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north. \n And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been \"technically\" won. \n \"We think religions can exist side by side,\" Onuoha said. \"We hope that people can live in harmony.\" \n He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago. \n And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived. \n "}], "location_non_gpe": [{"confidence": 1, "provenance": [{"source": {"segment": "content_strict", "context": {"start": 37, "end": 38, "input": "tokens", "text": "biggest of its kind in Africa .

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes. \n Nigeria on Friday unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. \n Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes. \n More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in southeastern Nigeria. \n It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012. \n In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike. \n \"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma. \n The cost of the statue has not been revealed. \n Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be \"the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent.\" \n The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary. \n Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension. \n More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north. \n And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been \"technically\" won. \n \"We think religions can exist side by side,\" Onuoha said. \"We hope that people can live in harmony.\" \n He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago. \n And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived. \n Copyright \n 2016 Vanguard.

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes. \n Nigeria on Friday unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. \n Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes. \n More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in southeastern Nigeria. \n It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012. \n In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike. \n \"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma. \n The cost of the statue has not been revealed. \n Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be \"the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent.\" \n The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary. \n Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension. \n More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north. \n And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been \"technically\" won. \n \"We think religions can exist side by side,\" Onuoha said. \"We hope that people can live in harmony.\" \n He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago. \n And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived. \n ", "simple_tokens": ["\n", "photo", ":", "\n", "premium", "times", "\n", "the", "catholic", "church", "in", "nigeria", "has", "unveiled", "a", "nine", "-", "metre",

\n The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.\n
\n
\n

\n Nigeria on Friday unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa.\n

\n

\n Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes.\n

\n

\n More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in southeastern Nigeria.\n

\n

\n It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike.\n

\n

\n \"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma.\n

\n

\n The cost of the statue has not been revealed.\n

\n

\n Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be \"the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent.\"\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary.\n

\n

\n Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north.\n

\n

\n And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been \"technically\" won.\n

\n

\n \"We think religions can exist side by side,\" Onuoha said. \"We hope that people can live in harmony.\"\n

\n

\n He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago.\n

\n

\n And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived.\n

to be banned if suicide bombing continues.\" \n But his spokesman yesterday, while clarifying the pronouncement, described as unfounded, the speculation that the Federal Government had banned the use of hijab. \n He said that Buhari's administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom as it affects everyone. \n Shehu, however, admitted that hijab was being abused by Boko Haram terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people. \n According to the presidential aide, this violates the teachings of Islam. \n Shehu stressed that the president would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders. \n He said: \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution.\" \n He also emphasised that the increasing abuse of the \"hijabby terrorists\" to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities was a reality. \n Shehu added that Buhari's government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable

\n The Presidency has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has not banned the use of hijab which it describes as Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.\n

\n

\n The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said this in a statement on Friday.\n

\n

\n President Buhari had said on Wednesday during the presidential media chat that \"Hijab would have to be banned if suicide bombing continues.\"\n

\n

\n But his spokesman yesterday, while clarifying the pronouncement, described as unfounded, the speculation that the Federal Government had banned the use of hijab.\n

\n

\n He said that Buhari's administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom as it affects everyone.\n

\n

\n Shehu, however, admitted that hijab was being abused by Boko Haram terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people.\n

\n According to the presidential aide, this violates the teachings of Islam.\n

\n

\n Shehu stressed that the president would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.\n

\n

\n He said: \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution.\"\n

\n

\n He also emphasised that the increasing abuse of the \"hijabby terrorists\" to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities was a reality.\n

\n

\n Shehu added that Buhari's government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution\".\n

including part or all of the face, is covered, said to be a symbol of modesty. \n Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President during Wednesday's media chat, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, on Friday in Abuja said the speculation was unfounded, and that the Buhari administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom \n While admitting that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which he said violated the teachings of Islam, Shehu explained that the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders. \n \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" the statement said. \n According to him, the increasing abuse of the Hijab by terrorists to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities is a reality, and that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution. \n Copyright \n 2016 This Day.

Tobi Soniyi in Abuja \n The Presidency has denied insinuations that the Buhari administration has banned Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing style in which most of the body, including part or all of the face, is covered, said to be a symbol of modesty. \n Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President during Wednesday's media chat, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, on Friday in Abuja said the speculation was unfounded, and that the Buhari administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom \n While admitting that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which he said violated the teachings of Islam, Shehu explained that the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders. \n \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" the statement said. \n According to him, the increasing abuse of the Hijab by terrorists to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities is a reality, and that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution. \n ",

\n \n By Tobi Soniyi in Abuja\n \n

\n The Presidency has denied insinuations that the Buhari administration has banned Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing style in which most of the body, including part or all of the face, is covered, said to be a symbol of modesty.\n

\n

\n Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President during Wednesday's media chat, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, on Friday in Abuja said the speculation was unfounded, and that the Buhari administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom\n

\n

\n While admitting that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which he said violated the teachings of Islam, Shehu explained that the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.\n

\n
\n
\n

\n \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" the statement said.\n

\n

\n According to him, the increasing abuse of the Hijab by terrorists to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities is a reality, and that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.\n

Presidency \n The Presidency has dismissed the insinuations that the Federal Government had banned the use of Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty. \n This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Malam Garba Shehu. \n Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President on the issue during last Wednesday's Presidential Media Chat, Shehu said that the speculations were unfounded. \n He said that the Buhari-led Federal Government would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom. \n Shehu said that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violated the teachings of Islam. \n He, however, said that Buhari would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders. \n He said that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution. \n \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" he said. \n Copyright \n 2016 Vanguard.

\n The Presidency has dismissed the insinuations that the Federal Government had banned the use of Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.\n

\n

\n This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Malam Garba Shehu.\n

\n

\n Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President on the issue during last Wednesday's Presidential Media Chat, Shehu said that the speculations were unfounded.\n

\n

\n He said that the Buhari-led Federal Government would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n Shehu said that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violated the teachings of Islam.\n

\n

\n He, however, said that Buhari would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.\n

\n

\n He said that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.\n

\n

\n \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" he said.\n

It is up to them to choose what they will undertake. Already, some of them have sent teams to verify our assertions\", he said. \n The president lamented the effects of the activities of the Boko Haram terrorist group on women and children who he described as the worst-hit victims of the insurgency. \n \"In the north-east, what I saw for myself and on those clips is a source of concern for people with conscience. They (victims) are mostly women and children who are orphaned. Some of them don't even know where they come from. This is the pathetic situation in which the country has found itself\", he said. \n While acknowledging the case made by the WIPF for a better representation of women in his government, Buhari assured that women would \"fare well\" in the composition of federal parastatals and their boards in the first quarter of this year. \n On the allegation of slowness against his administration, President Buhari maintained that steps must taken with caution in order to avoid mistakes. \n \"People say we are slow. We are trying to change the structures put in place by our predecessors in office for 16 years. If we hurry it, we will make mistakes. That will be a disaster\", he said. \n The president described the 2016 budget proposal as good for employment and manufacturing, saying \"By the end of the second quarter, the full impact of these positive measures will be felt\". \n Earlier, the WIPF, comprising women leaders from 26 registered political parties and led by Ebere Ifendu of the Labour Party, had declared support for the federal

It is up to them to choose what they will undertake. Already, some of them have sent teams to verify our assertions\", he said. \n The president lamented the effects of the activities of the Boko Haram terrorist group on women and children who he described as the worst-hit victims of the insurgency. \n \"In the north-east, what I saw for myself and on those clips is a source of concern for people with conscience. They (victims) are mostly women and children who are orphaned. Some of them don't even know where they come from. This is the pathetic situation in which the country has found itself\", he said. \n While acknowledging the case made by the WIPF for a better representation of women in his government, Buhari assured that women would \"fare well\" in the composition of federal parastatals and their boards in the first quarter of this year. \n On the allegation of slowness against his administration, President Buhari maintained that steps must taken with caution in order to avoid mistakes. \n \"People say we are slow. We are trying to change the structures put in place by our predecessors in office for 16 years. If we hurry it, we will make mistakes. That will be a disaster\", he said. \n The president described the 2016 budget proposal as good for employment and manufacturing, saying \"By the end of the second quarter, the full impact of these positive measures will be felt\". \n Earlier, the WIPF, comprising women leaders from 26 registered political parties and led by Ebere Ifendu of the Labour Party, had declared support for the federal government's war against corruption and insecurity. \n The forum, which sought laws that would promote gender equity, also urged action on the implementation of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act. \n A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said the WIPF made the record of being the first organisation to be received by Buhari in the new year. \n Copyright \n 2016 Daily Trust.

captivity of the Boko Haram sect. \n The president was speaking at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja yesterday while receiving him the Women In Politics Forum (WIPF). \n The girls were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, on April 14, 2014. \n President Buhari had Wednesday during the presidential media chat said there was no credible intelligence report on the whereabouts and the condition of the missing girls. \n But the president assured Friday that the fight for the return of the abducted schoolgirls was ongoing and \"continues to be a most worrying issue\" to his administration. \n Buhari also disclosed that a committee to rehabilitate the infrastructure in the northeast and resettle the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) would soon be formally inaugurated. \n The president said the committee, to be headed by former Defence Minister General Theophilus Danjuma (rtd), would also include Aliko Dangote, saying local and foreign assistance received will be channelled through the committee. \n Buhari said he had compiled a list of damaged infrastructure including schools and bridges and handed them to the leaders of the G7 countries and the United States. \n \"I didn't ask for a kobo (in cash). It is up to them to choose what they will undertake. Already, some of them have sent teams to verify our assertions\", he said. \n The president lamented the effects of the activities of the Boko Haram terrorist group on women and children who he described as the worst-hit victims of the insurgency. \n \"In the north-east, what I saw for myself and on those clips is a source of concern for people with conscience. They (victims) are mostly women and children who are orphaned. Some of them don't even know where they come from. This is the pathetic situation in which the country has found itself\", he said. \n While acknowledging the case made by the WIPF for a better representation of women in his government, Buhari assured that women would \"fare well\" in the composition of federal parastatals and their boards in the first quarter of this year. \n On the allegation of slowness against his administration, President Buhari maintained that steps must taken with caution in order to avoid mistakes. \n \"People say we are slow. We are trying to change the structures put in place by our predecessors in office for 16 years. If we hurry it, we will make mistakes. That will be a disaster\", he said. \n The president described the 2016 budget proposal as good for employment and manufacturing, saying \"By the end of the second quarter, the full impact of these positive measures will be felt\". \n Earlier, the WIPF, comprising women leaders from 26 registered political parties and led by Ebere Ifendu of the Labour Party, had declared support for the federal government's war against corruption and insecurity. \n The forum, which sought laws that would promote gender equity, also urged action on the implementation of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act. \n A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said the WIPF made the record of being the first organisation to be received by Buhari in the new year. \n ", "simple_tokens": ["\n", "president", "muhammadu", "buhari", "says", "his", "government", "will", "do", "all", "within", "its", "powers", "in", "making",

\n President Muhammadu Buhari says his government will do all within its powers in making the best efforts to free the over 200 abducted Chibok schoolgirls from the captivity of the Boko Haram sect.\n

\n

\n The president was speaking at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja yesterday while receiving him the Women In Politics Forum (WIPF).\n

\n

\n The girls were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, on April 14, 2014.\n

\n

\n President Buhari had Wednesday during the presidential media chat said there was no credible intelligence report on the whereabouts and the condition of the missing girls.\n

\n

\n But the president assured Friday that the fight for the return of the abducted schoolgirls was ongoing and \"continues to be a most worrying issue\" to his administration.\n

\n

\n Buhari also disclosed that a committee to rehabilitate the infrastructure in the northeast and resettle the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) would soon be formally inaugurated.\n

\n

\n The president said the committee, to be headed by former Defence Minister General Theophilus Danjuma (rtd), would also include Aliko Dangote, saying local and foreign assistance received will be channelled through the committee.\n

\n
\n

\n Buhari said he had compiled a list of damaged infrastructure including schools and bridges and handed them to the leaders of the G7 countries and the United States.\n

\n

\n \"I didn't ask for a kobo (in cash). It is up to them to choose what they will undertake. Already, some of them have sent teams to verify our assertions\", he said.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n The president lamented the effects of the activities of the Boko Haram terrorist group on women and children who he described as the worst-hit victims of the insurgency.\n

\n

\n \"In the north-east, what I saw for myself and on those clips is a source of concern for people with conscience. They (victims) are mostly women and children who are orphaned. Some of them don't even know where they come from. This is the pathetic situation in which the country has found itself\", he said.\n

\n

\n While acknowledging the case made by the WIPF for a better representation of women in his government, Buhari assured that women would \"fare well\" in the composition of federal parastatals and their boards in the first quarter of this year.\n

\n

\n On the allegation of slowness against his administration, President Buhari maintained that steps must taken with caution in order to avoid mistakes.\n

\n \"People say we are slow. We are trying to change the structures put in place by our predecessors in office for 16 years. If we hurry it, we will make mistakes. That will be a disaster\", he said.\n

\n

\n The president described the 2016 budget proposal as good for employment and manufacturing, saying \"By the end of the second quarter, the full impact of these positive measures will be felt\".\n

\n

\n Earlier, the WIPF, comprising women leaders from 26 registered political parties and led by Ebere Ifendu of the Labour Party, had declared support for the federal government's war against corruption and insecurity.\n

\n

\n The forum, which sought laws that would promote gender equity, also urged action on the implementation of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act.\n

\n

\n A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said the WIPF made the record of being the first organisation to be received by Buhari in the new year.\n

\n The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes. \n The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Most Rev. Augustine Ukwuoma on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo. \n The statue made of marble is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt. \n Ukwuoma Performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Most Rev. Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday. \n The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Chief Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012. \n NAN further reports that the unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Obinna, Chief Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha. \n Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church. \n \"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us. \n \"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said. \n Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society. \n \"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity. \n Chief Obinna Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said that he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997. \n \"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith. \n \"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said. \n Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"it took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\" \n "}], "location_non_gpe": [{"confidence": 1, "provenance": [{"source": {"segment": "content_strict", "context": {"start": 37, "end": 38, "input": "tokens", "text": "biggest of its kind in Africa .

Statue in Africa \n Photo: \n Premium Times \n The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes. \n The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Most Rev. Augustine Ukwuoma on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo. \n The statue made of marble is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt. \n Ukwuoma Performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Most Rev. Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday. \n The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Chief Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012. \n NAN further reports that the unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Obinna, Chief Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha. \n Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church. \n \"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us. \n \"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said. \n Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society. \n \"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity. \n Chief Obinna Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said that he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997. \n \"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith. \n \"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said. \n Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"it took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\" \n Copyright \n 2016 Vanguard.

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes. \n The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Most Rev. Augustine Ukwuoma on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo. \n The statue made of marble is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt. \n Ukwuoma Performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Most Rev. Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday. \n The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Chief Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012. \n NAN further reports that the unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Obinna, Chief Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha. \n Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church. \n \"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us. \n \"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said. \n Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society. \n \"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity. \n Chief Obinna Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said that he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997. \n \"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith. \n \"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said. \n Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"it took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\" \n ", "simple_tokens": ["\n", "photo", ":", "\n", "premium", "times", "\n",

\n The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.\n
\n
\n

\n The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Most Rev. Augustine Ukwuoma on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo.\n

\n

\n The statue made of marble is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt.\n

\n

\n Ukwuoma Performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Most Rev. Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday.\n

\n

\n The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Chief Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012.\n

\n

\n \n

\n NAN further reports that the unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Obinna, Chief Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha.\n

\n

\n Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church.\n

\n

\n \"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n \"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said.\n

\n

\n Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society.\n

\n \"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity.\n

\n

\n Chief Obinna Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said that he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997.\n

\n

\n \"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith.\n

\n

\n \"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said.\n

\n

\n Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"it took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\"\n

insinuations and rumours that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration was considering a ban on Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty. \n Giving a clarification on Buhari's pronouncement during the Presidential Media Chat on Wednesday, his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the speculations were unfounded. He addded that the administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom. \n Shehu, while admitting that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violates the teachings of Islam, however said the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders. \n \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" Shehu said. \n He added that the increasing abuse of the Hijab by terrorists to perpetrate criminal activities and other atrocities is a reality, but that government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution. \n Copyright \n 2016 The Guardian.

\n Abuja — THE Presidency has denied insinuations and rumours that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration was considering a ban on Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.\n

\n

\n Giving a clarification on Buhari's pronouncement during the Presidential Media Chat on Wednesday, his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the speculations were unfounded. He addded that the administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom.\n

\n

\n Shehu, while admitting that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violates the teachings of Islam, however said the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.\n

\n
\n
\n

\n \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" Shehu said.\n

\n

\n He added that the increasing abuse of the Hijab by terrorists to perpetrate criminal activities and other atrocities is a reality, but that government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.\n

Trump courted controversy in December when he demanded that all Muslims be barred from entering the US. \n The al-Shabab video was distributed on Twitter by the al-Kataib Media Foundation, an Islamist organization. \n The terrorists used a clip from Trump's December speech, where he made calls for the United States to bar Muslims from entering the country as his supporters cheered. Many American politicians condemned Trump's statement and said his views could be used as propaganda by militant organizations. \n The al-Shabab seemed to have done exactly that. Trump's clip in the 51-minute-long film was sandwiched between clips of militant leader Anwar al-Awlaki saying that Muslims would face a choice between leaving for Islamic countries or staying at home to fight the West, SITE monitoring reported. Al-Awlaki was killed in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011. \n The video, confirmed to be genuine by experts, has footage of the US police using force against black people as well as speeches of the African-American activist Malcolm X, who was killed in 1965. \n The al-Shabab, an affiliate of the al-Qaida, seeks to overthrow Somalia's government and impose an Islamic regime following a strict version of the Sharia.

Trump courted controversy in December when he demanded that all Muslims be barred from entering the US. \n The al-Shabab video was distributed on Twitter by the al-Kataib Media Foundation, an Islamist organization. \n The terrorists used a clip from Trump's December speech, where he made calls for the United States to bar Muslims from entering the country as his supporters cheered. Many American politicians condemned Trump's statement and said his views could be used as propaganda by militant organizations. \n The al-Shabab seemed to have done exactly that. Trump's clip in the 51-minute-long film was sandwiched between clips of militant leader Anwar al-Awlaki saying that Muslims would face a choice between leaving for Islamic countries or staying at home to fight the West, SITE monitoring reported. Al-Awlaki was killed in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011. \n The video, confirmed to be genuine by experts, has footage of the US police using force against black people as well as speeches of the African-American activist Malcolm X, who was killed in 1965. \n The al-Shabab, an affiliate of the al-Qaida, seeks to overthrow Somalia's government and impose an Islamic regime following a strict version of the Sharia. The organization has carried out many attacks in Kenya and Ethiopia. \n mg/se (Reuters, dpa) \n Copyright \n 2016 Deutsche Welle. All rights reserved.

Many American politicians condemned Trump's statement and said his views could be used as propaganda by militant organizations. \n The al-Shabab seemed to have done exactly that. Trump's clip in the 51-minute-long film was sandwiched between clips of militant leader Anwar al-Awlaki saying that Muslims would face a choice between leaving for Islamic countries or staying at home to fight the West, SITE monitoring reported. Al-Awlaki was killed in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011. \n The video, confirmed to be genuine by experts, has footage of the US police using force against black people as well as speeches of the African-American activist Malcolm X, who was killed in 1965. \n The al-Shabab, an affiliate of the al-Qaida, seeks to overthrow Somalia's government and impose an Islamic regime following a strict version of the Sharia. The organization has carried out many attacks in Kenya and Ethiopia. \n mg/se (Reuters, dpa) \n ", "simple_tokens": ["\n", "somalian", "terror", "group", ",", "al", "-", "shabab", ",", "has", "used",

\n \n \n RESOURCE: Al-Shabaab Uses Donald Trump in Video Aimed at Western Muslims\n \n \n
\n
\n

\n \n Somalian terror group, al-Shabab, has used clips of US presidential candidate Donald Trump in its propaganda film. Trump courted controversy in December when he demanded that all Muslims be barred from entering the US.\n \n

\n

\n The al-Shabab video was distributed on Twitter by the al-Kataib Media Foundation, an Islamist organization.\n

\n

\n The terrorists used a clip from Trump's December speech, where he made calls for the United States to bar Muslims from entering the country as his supporters cheered. Many American politicians condemned Trump's statement and said his views could be used as propaganda by militant organizations.\n

\n \n

\n The al-Shabab seemed to have done exactly that. Trump's clip in the 51-minute-long film was sandwiched between clips of militant leader Anwar al-Awlaki saying that Muslims would face a choice between leaving for Islamic countries or staying at home to fight the West, SITE monitoring reported. Al-Awlaki was killed in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n The video, confirmed to be genuine by experts, has footage of the US police using force against black people as well as speeches of the African-American activist Malcolm X, who was killed in 1965.\n

\n

\n The al-Shabab, an affiliate of the al-Qaida, seeks to overthrow Somalia's government and impose an Islamic regime following a strict version of the Sharia. The organization has carried out many attacks in Kenya and Ethiopia.\n

Photograph: Dylan Martinez/Reuters \n The win was Guus Hiddink's first of his second spell in charge of Chelsea. \n Super Eagles star Mikel was solid in the Chelsea midfield and started the move that led to Oscar's opening goal in the first half. \n Mikel had 96% pass accuracy, won three tackles, had two blocks and one interception and was one of Chelsea's outstanding players. \n The Blues went into the match on a seven-game winless streak on the road, but goals from Oscar, Willian and Diego Costa ensured that they got 2016 off to an encouraging start in the first Premier League London derby of the year. \n Eden Hazard was forced off early with an injury but that did not stop Chelsea from putting up a dominant performance. \n Chelsea took the lead shortly before the half-hour mark, however, as Cesc Fabregas's pass sent Diego Costa through down the right channel and the striker cut the ball back for Oscar to slide a simple finish into an unguarded net. \n ", "simple_tokens":

\n

\n The win was Guus Hiddink's first of his second spell in charge of Chelsea.\n

\n

\n Super Eagles star Mikel was solid in the Chelsea midfield and started the move that led to Oscar's opening goal in the first half.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n Mikel had 96% pass accuracy, won three tackles, had two blocks and one interception and was one of Chelsea's outstanding players.\n

\n

\n The Blues went into the match on a seven-game winless streak on the road, but goals from Oscar, Willian and Diego Costa ensured that they got 2016 off to an encouraging start in the first Premier League London derby of the year.\n

\n

\n Eden Hazard was forced off early with an injury but that did not stop Chelsea from putting up a dominant performance.\n

\n

\n Chelsea took the lead shortly before the half-hour mark, however, as Cesc Fabregas's pass sent Diego Costa through down the right channel and the striker cut the ball back for Oscar to slide a simple finish into an unguarded net.\n

Overall there were thirteen of them. According to observers, eligible voters realized the importance and civic duty to take part in the elections. \n For the first time in Nigeria's history, a sitting president was defeated and accepted the outcome of the election. He later willingly handed over power to his main rival. In this case it was Goodluck Jonathan handing over power to Muhammadu Buhari. \n Six months later it was Burkina Faso's turn to elect its new leader. Voters endured long queues at polling stations to elect a new leader, knowing that this time their vote counted, unlike in the past three decades under Blaise Compaore's rule when the results were long certain. \n Elsewhere in Burundi violence erupted over President Pierre Nkuruziza's third term bid in office. Like was the case in 2014 in Burkina Faso, citizens and human rights activists protested in Burundi against their president's thirst for power as he, with the help of the state apparatus went ahead and run for a third term. His government violently crushed the protests and systematically embarked on a crackdown of the opposition and rights activists. Nkuruziza was again elected in July - many of his critics have since fled the country. \n In the constitutions of many African countries, the presidential term is restricted to two, like in Burundi. This does not always hold. \"So this contradiction between leaders seeking their third term and protesters and voters standing against that, is certainly an interesting new trend in African politics,\" said Jakkie Cilliers, executive director of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in Pretoria. \n However Cilliers also told DW that this varies from one country to another. \"Previously voters accepted that leaders have an inevitable right to stay in power for almost as long as they want to. And that certainly is changing,\" he said. Elections are no longer an easy way for the government to secure its power. Voters have become activists. \n Voters' choice \n The most thrilling election according Ulf Engel, a professor of African Studies at the University of Leipzig, was the one held in Tanzania. Unlike Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Uganda's Yoweri Museveni who are still clinging on to power, President Jakaya Kikwete did not run for presidency after the end of his two terms. He made way for a new president. \n Observers had predicted a neck-and-neck race between the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party and the opposition. But the results in the end did not quite turn out as expected. \"The ruling party was worried that would sail through smoothly,\" said Engel. Nevertheless John Magufuli - the ruling party's candidate - won the election. Cilliers agrees that Tanzania is a good example, of increasing pressure on the rulers. \"For the first time there was a relative sense of unease amongst the ruling CCM-party, that it may really face a challenge.\" \n Hard times for election fraud \n For Sudan, Togo, Guinea-Conakry and Ivory Coast, leaders remained in power. In Ethiopia the ruling government obtained 100 percent according to official results. Every country has its own dynamics and its own political traditions. But developments like in Burkina Faso or in Tanzania show that voters are becoming increasingly critical and want to make themselves heard. \n The advancement in technology has also eased the voting exercise. For example in Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Tanzania voters were issued with biometric cards that contained all data from finger prints and personal details. \n \"It's no longer as easy as it was in the past to manipulate elections and to staff ballot boxes. The electronic voting and the standards that the international community have brought to bear on elections have changed practices and reduced the ability of governing parties and leaders to manipulate the results,\" said Cilliers. \n A technology that prevents misuse of power has not yet been invented. The New Year therefore, compared to the year 2015, is not promising much. In the Democratic Republic of Congo and in neighboring Congo-Brazzaville voters will head to the polls to elect new leaders. \n President Sassou-Nguesso lately set the course for his re-election. He changed the constitution making it possible for him to run for a third term. This was then passed in a disputed referendum. There were protests against the referendum which led to deaths and casualties. \n In the DRC, a lot suggests that President Joseph Kabila will not abide by the constitution and step down after his two terms. Recently he fired seven politicians in his coalition, after they asked him to abide by the constitution. Rwanda's leader Paul Kagame should also leave office in 2017, but has announced his intention to get re-elected for a third term after parliament amended the constitution. \n "}], "location_non_gpe": [{"confidence": 1, "provenance": [{"source": {"segment": "content_strict", "context": {"start": 18, "end": 19, "input": "tokens", "text": "as one of elections in Africa .

Overall there were thirteen of them. According to observers, eligible voters realized the importance and civic duty to take part in the elections. \n For the first time in Nigeria's history, a sitting president was defeated and accepted the outcome of the election. He later willingly handed over power to his main rival. In this case it was Goodluck Jonathan handing over power to Muhammadu Buhari. \n Six months later it was Burkina Faso's turn to elect its new leader. Voters endured long queues at polling stations to elect a new leader, knowing that this time their vote counted, unlike in the past three decades under Blaise Compaore's rule when the results were long certain. \n Elsewhere in Burundi violence erupted over President Pierre Nkuruziza's third term bid in office. Like was the case in 2014 in Burkina Faso, citizens and human rights activists protested in Burundi against their president's thirst for power as he, with the help of the state apparatus went ahead and run for a third term. His government violently crushed the protests and systematically embarked on a crackdown of the opposition and rights activists. Nkuruziza was again elected in July - many of his critics have since fled the country. \n In the constitutions of many African countries, the presidential term is restricted to two, like in Burundi. This does not always hold. \"So this contradiction between leaders seeking their third term and protesters and voters standing against that, is certainly an interesting new trend in African politics,\" said Jakkie Cilliers, executive director of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in Pretoria. \n However Cilliers also told DW that this varies from one country to another. \"Previously voters accepted that leaders have an inevitable right to stay in power for almost as long as they want to. And that certainly is changing,\" he said. Elections are no longer an easy way for the government to secure its power. Voters have become activists. \n Voters' choice \n The most thrilling election according Ulf Engel, a professor of African Studies at the University of Leipzig, was the one held in Tanzania. Unlike Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Uganda's Yoweri Museveni who are still clinging on to power, President Jakaya Kikwete did not run for presidency after the end of his two terms. He made way for a new president. \n Observers had predicted a neck-and-neck race between the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party and the opposition. But the results in the end did not quite turn out as expected. \"The ruling party was worried that would sail through smoothly,\" said Engel. Nevertheless John Magufuli - the ruling party's candidate - won the election. Cilliers agrees that Tanzania is a good example, of increasing pressure on the rulers. \"For the first time there was a relative sense of unease amongst the ruling CCM-party, that it may really face a challenge.\" \n Hard times for election fraud \n For Sudan, Togo, Guinea-Conakry and Ivory Coast, leaders remained in power. In Ethiopia the ruling government obtained 100 percent according to official results. Every country has its own dynamics and its own political traditions. But developments like in Burkina Faso or in Tanzania show that voters are becoming increasingly critical and want to make themselves heard. \n The advancement in technology has also eased the voting exercise. For example in Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Tanzania voters were issued with biometric cards that contained all data from finger prints and personal details. \n \"It's no longer as easy as it was in the past to manipulate elections and to staff ballot boxes. The electronic voting and the standards that the international community have brought to bear on elections have changed practices and reduced the ability of governing parties and leaders to manipulate the results,\" said Cilliers. \n A technology that prevents misuse of power has not yet been invented. The New Year therefore, compared to the year 2015, is not promising much. In the Democratic Republic of Congo and in neighboring Congo-Brazzaville voters will head to the polls to elect new leaders. \n President Sassou-Nguesso lately set the course for his re-election. He changed the constitution making it possible for him to run for a third term. This was then passed in a disputed referendum. There were protests against the referendum which led to deaths and casualties. \n In the DRC, a lot suggests that President Joseph Kabila will not abide by the constitution and step down after his two terms. Recently he fired seven politicians in his coalition, after they asked him to abide by the constitution. Rwanda's leader Paul Kagame should also leave office in 2017, but has announced his intention to get re-elected for a third term after parliament amended the constitution. \n Copyright \n 2016 Deutsche Welle.

Overall there were thirteen of them. According to observers, eligible voters realized the importance and civic duty to take part in the elections. \n For the first time in Nigeria's history, a sitting president was defeated and accepted the outcome of the election. He later willingly handed over power to his main rival. In this case it was Goodluck Jonathan handing over power to Muhammadu Buhari. \n Six months later it was Burkina Faso's turn to elect its new leader. Voters endured long queues at polling stations to elect a new leader, knowing that this time their vote counted, unlike in the past three decades under Blaise Compaore's rule when the results were long certain. \n Elsewhere in Burundi violence erupted over President Pierre Nkuruziza's third term bid in office. Like was the case in 2014 in Burkina Faso, citizens and human rights activists protested in Burundi against their president's thirst for power as he, with the help of the state apparatus went ahead and run for a third term. His government violently crushed the protests and systematically embarked on a crackdown of the opposition and rights activists. Nkuruziza was again elected in July - many of his critics have since fled the country. \n In the constitutions of many African countries, the presidential term is restricted to two, like in Burundi. This does not always hold. \"So this contradiction between leaders seeking their third term and protesters and voters standing against that, is certainly an interesting new trend in African politics,\" said Jakkie Cilliers, executive director of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in Pretoria. \n However Cilliers also told DW that this varies from one country to another. \"Previously voters accepted that leaders have an inevitable right to stay in power for almost as long as they want to. And that certainly is changing,\" he said. Elections are no longer an easy way for the government to secure its power. Voters have become activists. \n Voters' choice \n The most thrilling election according Ulf Engel, a professor of African Studies at the University of Leipzig, was the one held in Tanzania. Unlike Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Uganda's Yoweri Museveni who are still clinging on to power, President Jakaya Kikwete did not run for presidency after the end of his two terms. He made way for a new president. \n Observers had predicted a neck-and-neck race between the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party and the opposition. But the results in the end did not quite turn out as expected. \"The ruling party was worried that would sail through smoothly,\" said Engel. Nevertheless John Magufuli - the ruling party's candidate - won the election. Cilliers agrees that Tanzania is a good example, of increasing pressure on the rulers. \"For the first time there was a relative sense of unease amongst the ruling CCM-party, that it may really face a challenge.\" \n Hard times for election fraud \n For Sudan, Togo, Guinea-Conakry and Ivory Coast, leaders remained in power. In Ethiopia the ruling government obtained 100 percent according to official results. Every country has its own dynamics and its own political traditions. But developments like in Burkina Faso or in Tanzania show that voters are becoming increasingly critical and want to make themselves heard. \n The advancement in technology has also eased the voting exercise. For example in Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Tanzania voters were issued with biometric cards that contained all data from finger prints and personal details. \n \"It's no longer as easy as it was in the past to manipulate elections and to staff ballot boxes. The electronic voting and the standards that the international community have brought to bear on elections have changed practices and reduced the ability of governing parties and leaders to manipulate the results,\" said Cilliers. \n A technology that prevents misuse of power has not yet been invented. The New Year therefore, compared to the year 2015, is not promising much. In the Democratic Republic of Congo and in neighboring Congo-Brazzaville voters will head to the polls to elect new leaders. \n President Sassou-Nguesso lately set the course for his re-election. He changed the constitution making it possible for him to run for a third term. This was then passed in a disputed referendum. There were protests against the referendum which led to deaths and casualties. \n In the DRC, a lot suggests that President Joseph Kabila will not abide by the constitution and step down after his two terms. Recently he fired seven politicians in his coalition, after they asked him to abide by the constitution. Rwanda's leader Paul Kagame should also leave office in 2017, but has announced his intention to get re-elected for a third term after parliament amended the constitution. \n ", "simple_tokens":

\n \n By Madelaine Meier\n \n

\n \n The year 2015 will go down in history as one of elections in Africa. Overall there were thirteen of them. According to observers, eligible voters realized the importance and civic duty to take part in the elections.\n \n

\n

\n For the first time in Nigeria's history, a sitting president was defeated and accepted the outcome of the election. He later willingly handed over power to his main rival. In this case it was Goodluck Jonathan handing over power to Muhammadu Buhari.\n

\n

\n Six months later it was Burkina Faso's turn to elect its new leader. Voters endured long queues at polling stations to elect a new leader, knowing that this time their vote counted, unlike in the past three decades under Blaise Compaore's rule when the results were long certain.\n

\n

\n Elsewhere in Burundi violence erupted over President Pierre Nkuruziza's third term bid in office. Like was the case in 2014 in Burkina Faso, citizens and human rights activists protested in Burundi against their president's thirst for power as he, with the help of the state apparatus went ahead and run for a third term. His government violently crushed the protests and systematically embarked on a crackdown of the opposition and rights activists. Nkuruziza was again elected in July - many of his critics have since fled the country.\n

\n In the constitutions of many African countries, the presidential term is restricted to two, like in Burundi. This does not always hold. \"So this contradiction between leaders seeking their third term and protesters and voters standing against that, is certainly an interesting new trend in African politics,\" said Jakkie Cilliers, executive director of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in Pretoria.\n

\n

\n However Cilliers also told DW that this varies from one country to another. \"Previously voters accepted that leaders have an inevitable right to stay in power for almost as long as they want to. And that certainly is changing,\" he said. Elections are no longer an easy way for the government to secure its power. Voters have become activists.\n

\n

\n \n Voters' choice\n \n

\n

\n The most thrilling election according Ulf Engel, a professor of African Studies at the University of Leipzig, was the one held in Tanzania. Unlike Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Uganda's Yoweri Museveni who are still clinging on to power, President Jakaya Kikwete did not run for presidency after the end of his two terms. He made way for a new president.\n

\n Observers had predicted a neck-and-neck race between the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party and the opposition. But the results in the end did not quite turn out as expected. \"The ruling party was worried that would sail through smoothly,\" said Engel. Nevertheless John Magufuli - the ruling party's candidate - won the election. Cilliers agrees that Tanzania is a good example, of increasing pressure on the rulers. \"For the first time there was a relative sense of unease amongst the ruling CCM-party, that it may really face a challenge.\"\n

\n

\n \n Hard times for election fraud\n \n

\n

\n For Sudan, Togo, Guinea-Conakry and Ivory Coast, leaders remained in power. In Ethiopia the ruling government obtained 100 percent according to official results. Every country has its own dynamics and its own political traditions. But developments like in Burkina Faso or in Tanzania show that voters are becoming increasingly critical and want to make themselves heard.\n

\n

\n The advancement in technology has also eased the voting exercise. For example in Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Tanzania voters were issued with biometric cards that contained all data from finger prints and personal details.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n \"It's no longer as easy as it was in the past to manipulate elections and to staff ballot boxes. The electronic voting and the standards that the international community have brought to bear on elections have changed practices and reduced the ability of governing parties and leaders to manipulate the results,\" said Cilliers.\n

\n

\n A technology that prevents misuse of power has not yet been invented. The New Year therefore, compared to the year 2015, is not promising much. In the Democratic Republic of Congo and in neighboring Congo-Brazzaville voters will head to the polls to elect new leaders.\n

\n

\n President Sassou-Nguesso lately set the course for his re-election. He changed the constitution making it possible for him to run for a third term. This was then passed in a disputed referendum. There were protests against the referendum which led to deaths and casualties.\n

\n

\n In the DRC, a lot suggests that President Joseph Kabila will not abide by the constitution and step down after his two terms. Recently he fired seven politicians in his coalition, after they asked him to abide by the constitution. Rwanda's leader Paul Kagame should also leave office in 2017, but has announced his intention to get re-elected for a third term after parliament amended the constitution.\n

It is the continent's largest economy - almost twice the size of South Africa's and a third larger than that of Egypt. \n It is also the continent's most populous state, with 180 million people, its largest Muslim country, and its largest democracy. \n The president has visited every major country on the continent except Nigeria, and it would be a mistake for him to leave the White House without a stop in Lagos or Abuja. \n Some have suggested that security may be a concern because of Boko Haram, but if the president can travel safely to Nairobi, where al Shabaab has carried out high profile attacks in the center of the city, he should be able to travel safely to Abuja or Lagos. He is bound to make one more trip to Europe, and a stop in Nigeria - similar to his 2009 visit to Ghana - would not be a major diversion. \n Co-host a regional summit on democracy in west Africa: \n Strengthening democracy institutions, promoting good governance and supporting free and fair elections has been a major priority for the Obama administration in Africa. \n During his first official visit to the continent as president in July 2009, President Obama spoke eloquently before the Ghanaian Parliament about the importance of democracy and good governance and the need to create \"more strong institutions, not more strong men.\" With a growing number of African leaders attempting to extend their terms of office, democracy remains fragile across the continent. The president could give democracy in Africa a boost and reaffirm America's strong commitment to Africa's political progress by hosting a conference in West Africa with the democratically-elected leaders of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo. \n Support Nigeria's permanent membership in the G20: \n President Obama has said that he wants to ensure that Africa has a place at the table to participate in the deliberations concerning major global political and economic issues. One way to accomplish that is to expand or reorganize the G20 group of nations to include Nigeria as a permanent member of this important global organization. \n Nigeria is already more important than several of the current G20 members, notably Argentina and South Africa, and over the next two decades it will become one of the world's mega states, eclipsing several other G20 members in the size of its economy, population and regional influence. It would also be one of the G20's largest democracies. The administration should make the inclusion of Nigeria a priority over the next 12 months. \n Press for the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation: \n Power Africa is one of President Obama's most important signature initiatives. In the world's most energy deficient and starved continent, it is intended to increase Africa's power output by 30,000 megawatts over the next decade or two. \n But like a number of recent White House initiatives, Power Africa is not backed by any legislative mandate and could be easily brushed aside after the Obama administration leaves office. The program enjoys bi-partisan support in the Congress and the administration needs to work with congressional leaders to prioritize the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation. At the same time, the administration needs to create a senior level \"Power Africa czar\" to manage the program and consider moving interagency responsibility for oversight from USAID to a cabinet level department. \n Instruct USAID to establish a permanent democracy fund: \n If democracy promotion is an important priority, it should be funded adequately and on a long-term basis. Today that is not the case. Funding for democracy has declined sharply during Obama's second term despite the president's recent speeches in Nairobi and Addis Ababa, and at the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. \n Dedicated and hard-to-reprogram funds should be allocated to strengthen African judiciaries and legislatures, to promote civil society groups and the media, to assist women's organizations and youth groups and to support domestic and international election monitoring. Funds should also be made available to assist local organizations to undertake parallel vote counts, to aid local election commissions and to prevent pre- and post-election violence. \n Invite Tanzania's newly elected President John Magufuli to the White House: \n Tanzania is the most populous state and the largest democracy in East Africa. It is also one of the largest recipients of U.S. development assistance and a participant in all of Washington's major economic initiatives. \n In late October, Tanzania held presidential and parliamentary elections.The elections on the mainland went well, but those on the island of Zanzibar were disputed. President John Pombe Magufuli, a reform-minded academic-turned-politician, was elected without dispute, making him Tanzania's fifth democratically-elected president in a row. Although the Zanzibar election remains unresolved, it is important to reach out to Tanzania's new president early in his tenure to continue to foster the strong relationship between Dar es Salaam and Washington. \n This is particularly important since President Magufuli does not have any major ties with the United States.Tanzania also has a critical role to play in East African peace-building issues, particularly in Burundi and the eastern Congo. Early political consultations with President Magufuli and his new foreign minister, Dr. Augustine Mahiga, could prove valuable in promoting stability in the Great Lakes region. \n Send Secretary of State John Kerry to Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda and the Republic of the Congo: \n The Great Lakes Region of Central Africa is one of the most volatile and unstable regions in Africa, with daily political and ethnic violence in Burundi, and with the leaders of Rwanda, the DRC and the Congo threatening to extend themselves in office in violation of their constitutions. \n Although time is running out, there is still an opportunity to prevent further democratic backsliding and the serious instability and violence that will almost certainly be unleashed - as we are already seeing in Burundi. High level engagement with the leaders in the region is required. \n An extended visit by Secretary Kerry to the DRC, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi would be a strong signal of Washington's deep concern and interest in the region's negative political and security trajectory. Without serious engagement with the leaders on the ground, there will be no meaningful progress. \n Open a U.S. consulate in northern Nigeria and a full embassy in Mogadishu: \n The establishment of a consulate in northern Nigeria is long overdue. More than half of Nigeria's 180 million people live in the northern part of the country, an area of serious political and security concern. It is also the largest Muslim region in Africa and the largest Muslim region in the world where there is no full-time U.S. diplomatic presence. \n A U.S. diplomatic mission would advance long-term political, economic and security interests in the region and help Nigeria to deal with the economic, social and security challenges it faces there. A consulate in Kaduna, which once had one, or Kano would convey a strong signal to the Muslim community that Washington genuinely cares about the people in the region. \n Once the global poster child of a failed state, Somalia has made significant progress over the past seven years. In recognition of the progress, the U.S. re-established formal diplomatic relations with the Somali government in Mogadishu in January 2013. \n Before he leaves office, President Obama should take one more step. He should reaffirm Washington's commitment to Somalia and recognize the country's continuing progress by appointing a Senate-approved ambassador and opening a small, secure diplomatic embassy compound in downtown Mogadishu. \n Elevate U.S. diplomatic relations with Sudan: \n Relations between Washington and Khartoum have been prickly and frequently difficult for over two decades and the U.S. has not had a fully accredited, Senate-approved ambassador in Sudan since 1997. \n The Khartoum government has not been a good international actor. (Nor have Cuba, Myanmar or Iran.) The regime in Sudan has carried out mass atrocities in Darfur, prevented UN organizations from delivering food aid and humanitarian assistance to those in need and meddled in the affairs of several of its neighbors. \n But U.S.-imposed comprehensive sanctions on Khartoum have not isolated the country nor weakened its government. The U.S. should review its current policies toward Khartoum, and consider elevating its diplomatic relationship to full ambassadorial status in order to expand America's dialogue and probe for new openings to resolve some of the country's domestic and regional issues. The U.S. can do this while maintaining its sanctions regime on the government and its demands that President Omar al-Bashir address the serious human rights charges against him. \n Provide a status report on the results of the U.S.-Africa Leadership Summit: \n The U.S. Africa Leadership Summit has been one of the high points in the Obama administration's engagements in Africa. \n Leaders from 50 different countries participated in this first-of-a-kind gathering in Washington. A number of new programs were announced and a major business conference associated with the summit brought dozens of senior American business leaders into direct contact - many for the very first time - with African heads of state and prominent business leaders from the continent. \n The administration has never released a comprehensive report on the summit or a one-year progress report on the implementation of summit agreements. The issuance of some type of status report would be a useful vehicle for identifying summit objectives and initiatives as well as tracking the progress of the administration's efforts. The administration should do everything it can to sustain the goodwill and policy initiatives that emerged from the summit to help ensure that it does not become a one-off event. \n The administration should be applauded for its continuing efforts to promote greater American trade and commerce with Africa. The president has already announced that he plans to host another U.S.-Africa Business Summit similar to the day-long event his administration hosted during the 2014 Leadership Summit. The Business Summit is important, but it should not be the only thing on President Obama's Africa agenda for 2016. He has time to do more, and he should. Twelve months is a long time in the life of an administration and his foreign policy team should be building a more robust African agenda for his last year in office. \n Ambassador Carson was the U.S. \n Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs \n from 2009 to 2012. He is currently a Senior Advisor at the \n United States Institute of Peace. \n "}], "location_non_gpe": [{"confidence": 1, "provenance": [{"source": {"segment": "content_strict", "context": {"start": 45, "end": 46, "input": "tokens", "text": "already engaged more broadly on Africa than any previous American president "}, "document_id": "0EB02555663B0413FEFB28069686DDB10AE98895E16692A9107B6F1A416E948C"}, "confidence": {"extraction": 1.0}, "method": "extract_using_default_spacy", "extracted_value": "Africa"}, {"source": {"segment": "content_strict", "context": {"start": 90, "end": 91, "input": "tokens", "text": "top policy - maker on Africa in the first Obama administration "}, "document_id": "0EB02555663B0413FEFB28069686DDB10AE98895E16692A9107B6F1A416E948C"}, "confidence": {"extraction": 1.0}, "method": "extract_using_default_spacy", "extracted_value": "Africa"}, {"source": {"segment": "content_strict", "context": {"start": 110, "end": 111, "input": "tokens", "text": "America ' s engagement with Africa , traveling widely across the "}, "document_id": "0EB02555663B0413FEFB28069686DDB10AE98895E16692A9107B6F1A416E948C"}, "confidence": {"extraction": 1.0}, "method": "extract_using_default_spacy", "extracted_value": "Africa"}, {"source": {"segment": "content_strict", "context": {"start": 140, "end": 141, "input": "tokens", "text": "could help speed - up Africa ' s economic development .

to expand significantly electrical access across the continent; \"Feed the Future\" - to increase household food production and to generate a green revolution throughout Africa, and \"Trade Africa\" - to expand substantially trade between Africa and the United States. \n Recognizing the growing role of the continent's next generation of young leaders, President Obama established YALI - the Young African Leaders Initiative, a program that will bring 500 young African entrepreneurs, professionals and community organizers to the U.S. each year for the next several years for five weeks of leadership, organization and management training. \n But what next? \n Despite his rather impressive list of accomplishments, here are ten things the president should do before he leaves office in January 2017: \n Visit Nigeria: \n President Obama has traveled to Africa five times during his presidency - but he has not visited Nigeria, the continent's economic, political, communications and petroleum giant, and its most important state. It is the continent's largest economy - almost twice the size of South Africa's and a third larger than that of Egypt. \n It is also the continent's most populous state, with 180 million people, its largest Muslim country, and its largest democracy. \n The president has visited every major country on the continent except Nigeria, and it would be a mistake for him to leave the White House without a stop in Lagos or Abuja. \n Some have suggested that security may be a concern because of Boko Haram, but if the president can travel safely to Nairobi, where al Shabaab has carried out high profile attacks in the center of the city, he should be able to travel safely to Abuja or Lagos. He is bound to make one more trip to Europe, and a stop in Nigeria - similar to his 2009 visit to Ghana - would not be a major diversion. \n Co-host a regional summit on democracy in west Africa: \n Strengthening democracy institutions, promoting good governance and supporting free and fair elections has been a major priority for the Obama administration in Africa. \n During his first official visit to the continent as president in July 2009, President Obama spoke eloquently before the Ghanaian Parliament about the importance of democracy and good governance and the need to create \"more strong institutions, not more strong men.\" With a growing number of African leaders attempting to extend their terms of office, democracy remains fragile across the continent. The president could give democracy in Africa a boost and reaffirm America's strong commitment to Africa's political progress by hosting a conference in West Africa with the democratically-elected leaders of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo. \n Support Nigeria's permanent membership in the G20: \n President Obama has said that he wants to ensure that Africa has a place at the table to participate in the deliberations concerning major global political and economic issues. One way to accomplish that is to expand or reorganize the G20 group of nations to include Nigeria as a permanent member of this important global organization. \n Nigeria is already more important than several of the current G20 members, notably Argentina and South Africa, and over the next two decades it will become one of the world's mega states, eclipsing several other G20 members in the size of its economy, population and regional influence. It would also be one of the G20's largest democracies. The administration should make the inclusion of Nigeria a priority over the next 12 months. \n Press for the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation: \n Power Africa is one of President Obama's most important signature initiatives. In the world's most energy deficient and starved continent, it is intended to increase Africa's power output by 30,000 megawatts over the next decade or two. \n But like a number of recent White House initiatives, Power Africa is not backed by any legislative mandate and could be easily brushed aside after the Obama administration leaves office. The program enjoys bi-partisan support in the Congress and the administration needs to work with congressional leaders to prioritize the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation. At the same time, the administration needs to create a senior level \"Power Africa czar\" to manage the program and consider moving interagency responsibility for oversight from USAID to a cabinet level department. \n Instruct USAID to establish a permanent democracy fund: \n If democracy promotion is an important priority, it should be funded adequately and on a long-term basis. Today that is not the case. Funding for democracy has declined sharply during Obama's second term despite the president's recent speeches in Nairobi and Addis Ababa, and at the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. \n Dedicated and hard-to-reprogram funds should be allocated to strengthen African judiciaries and legislatures, to promote civil society groups and the media, to assist women's organizations and youth groups and to support domestic and international election monitoring. Funds should also be made available to assist local organizations to undertake parallel vote counts, to aid local election commissions and to prevent pre- and post-election violence. \n Invite Tanzania's newly elected President John Magufuli to the White House: \n Tanzania is the most populous state and the largest democracy in East Africa. It is also one of the largest recipients of U.S. development assistance and a participant in all of Washington's major economic initiatives. \n In late October, Tanzania held presidential and parliamentary elections.The elections on the mainland went well, but those on the island of Zanzibar were disputed. President John Pombe Magufuli, a reform-minded academic-turned-politician, was elected without dispute, making him Tanzania's fifth democratically-elected president in a row. Although the Zanzibar election remains unresolved, it is important to reach out to Tanzania's new president early in his tenure to continue to foster the strong relationship between Dar es Salaam and Washington. \n This is particularly important since President Magufuli does not have any major ties with the United States.Tanzania also has a critical role to play in East African peace-building issues, particularly in Burundi and the eastern Congo. Early political consultations with President Magufuli and his new foreign minister, Dr. Augustine Mahiga, could prove valuable in promoting stability in the Great Lakes region. \n Send Secretary of State John Kerry to Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda and the Republic of the Congo: \n The Great Lakes Region of Central Africa is one of the most volatile and unstable regions in Africa, with daily political and ethnic violence in Burundi, and with the leaders of Rwanda, the DRC and the Congo threatening to extend themselves in office in violation of their constitutions. \n Although time is running out, there is still an opportunity to prevent further democratic backsliding and the serious instability and violence that will almost certainly be unleashed - as we are already seeing in Burundi. High level engagement with the leaders in the region is required. \n An extended visit by Secretary Kerry to the DRC, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi would be a strong signal of Washington's deep concern and interest in the region's negative political and security trajectory. Without serious engagement with the leaders on the ground, there will be no meaningful progress. \n Open a U.S. consulate in northern Nigeria and a full embassy in Mogadishu: \n The establishment of a consulate in northern Nigeria is long overdue. More than half of Nigeria's 180 million people live in the northern part of the country, an area of serious political and security concern. It is also the largest Muslim region in Africa and the largest Muslim region in the world where there is no full-time U.S. diplomatic presence. \n A U.S. diplomatic mission would advance long-term political, economic and security interests in the region and help Nigeria to deal with the economic, social and security challenges it faces there. A consulate in Kaduna, which once had one, or Kano would convey a strong signal to the Muslim community that Washington genuinely cares about the people in the region. \n Once the global poster child of a failed state, Somalia has made significant progress over the past seven years. In recognition of the progress, the U.S. re-established formal diplomatic relations with the Somali government in Mogadishu in January 2013. \n Before he leaves office, President Obama should take one more step. He should reaffirm Washington's commitment to Somalia and recognize the country's continuing progress by appointing a Senate-approved ambassador and opening a small, secure diplomatic embassy compound in downtown Mogadishu. \n Elevate U.S. diplomatic relations with Sudan: \n Relations between Washington and Khartoum have been prickly and frequently difficult for over two decades and the U.S. has not had a fully accredited, Senate-approved ambassador in Sudan since 1997. \n The Khartoum government has not been a good international actor. (Nor have Cuba, Myanmar or Iran.) The regime in Sudan has carried out mass atrocities in Darfur, prevented UN organizations from delivering food aid and humanitarian assistance to those in need and meddled in the affairs of several of its neighbors. \n But U.S.-imposed comprehensive sanctions on Khartoum have not isolated the country nor weakened its government. The U.S. should review its current policies toward Khartoum, and consider elevating its diplomatic relationship to full ambassadorial status in order to expand America's dialogue and probe for new openings to resolve some of the country's domestic and regional issues. The U.S. can do this while maintaining its sanctions regime on the government and its demands that President Omar al-Bashir address the serious human rights charges against him. \n Provide a status report on the results of the U.S.-Africa Leadership Summit: \n The U.S. Africa Leadership Summit has been one of the high points in the Obama administration's engagements in Africa. \n Leaders from 50 different countries participated in this first-of-a-kind gathering in Washington. A number of new programs were announced and a major business conference associated with the summit brought dozens of senior American business leaders into direct contact - many for the very first time - with African heads of state and prominent business leaders from the continent. \n The administration has never released a comprehensive report on the summit or a one-year progress report on the implementation of summit agreements. The issuance of some type of status report would be a useful vehicle for identifying summit objectives and initiatives as well as tracking the progress of the administration's efforts. The administration should do everything it can to sustain the goodwill and policy initiatives that emerged from the summit to help ensure that it does not become a one-off event. \n The administration should be applauded for its continuing efforts to promote greater American trade and commerce with Africa. The president has already announced that he plans to host another U.S.-Africa Business Summit similar to the day-long event his administration hosted during the 2014 Leadership Summit. The Business Summit is important, but it should not be the only thing on President Obama's Africa agenda for 2016. He has time to do more, and he should. Twelve months is a long time in the life of an administration and his foreign policy team should be building a more robust African agenda for his last year in office. \n Ambassador Carson was the U.S. \n Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs \n from 2009 to 2012.

to expand significantly electrical access across the continent; \"Feed the Future\" - to increase household food production and to generate a green revolution throughout Africa, and \"Trade Africa\" - to expand substantially trade between Africa and the United States. \n Recognizing the growing role of the continent's next generation of young leaders, President Obama established YALI - the Young African Leaders Initiative, a program that will bring 500 young African entrepreneurs, professionals and community organizers to the U.S. each year for the next several years for five weeks of leadership, organization and management training. \n But what next? \n Despite his rather impressive list of accomplishments, here are ten things the president should do before he leaves office in January 2017: \n Visit Nigeria: \n President Obama has traveled to Africa five times during his presidency - but he has not visited Nigeria, the continent's economic, political, communications and petroleum giant, and its most important state. It is the continent's largest economy - almost twice the size of South Africa's and a third larger than that of Egypt. \n It is also the continent's most populous state, with 180 million people, its largest Muslim country, and its largest democracy. \n The president has visited every major country on the continent except Nigeria, and it would be a mistake for him to leave the White House without a stop in Lagos or Abuja. \n Some have suggested that security may be a concern because of Boko Haram, but if the president can travel safely to Nairobi, where al Shabaab has carried out high profile attacks in the center of the city, he should be able to travel safely to Abuja or Lagos. He is bound to make one more trip to Europe, and a stop in Nigeria - similar to his 2009 visit to Ghana - would not be a major diversion. \n Co-host a regional summit on democracy in west Africa: \n Strengthening democracy institutions, promoting good governance and supporting free and fair elections has been a major priority for the Obama administration in Africa. \n During his first official visit to the continent as president in July 2009, President Obama spoke eloquently before the Ghanaian Parliament about the importance of democracy and good governance and the need to create \"more strong institutions, not more strong men.\" With a growing number of African leaders attempting to extend their terms of office, democracy remains fragile across the continent. The president could give democracy in Africa a boost and reaffirm America's strong commitment to Africa's political progress by hosting a conference in West Africa with the democratically-elected leaders of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo. \n Support Nigeria's permanent membership in the G20: \n President Obama has said that he wants to ensure that Africa has a place at the table to participate in the deliberations concerning major global political and economic issues. One way to accomplish that is to expand or reorganize the G20 group of nations to include Nigeria as a permanent member of this important global organization. \n Nigeria is already more important than several of the current G20 members, notably Argentina and South Africa, and over the next two decades it will become one of the world's mega states, eclipsing several other G20 members in the size of its economy, population and regional influence. It would also be one of the G20's largest democracies. The administration should make the inclusion of Nigeria a priority over the next 12 months. \n Press for the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation: \n Power Africa is one of President Obama's most important signature initiatives. In the world's most energy deficient and starved continent, it is intended to increase Africa's power output by 30,000 megawatts over the next decade or two. \n But like a number of recent White House initiatives, Power Africa is not backed by any legislative mandate and could be easily brushed aside after the Obama administration leaves office. The program enjoys bi-partisan support in the Congress and the administration needs to work with congressional leaders to prioritize the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation. At the same time, the administration needs to create a senior level \"Power Africa czar\" to manage the program and consider moving interagency responsibility for oversight from USAID to a cabinet level department. \n Instruct USAID to establish a permanent democracy fund: \n If democracy promotion is an important priority, it should be funded adequately and on a long-term basis. Today that is not the case. Funding for democracy has declined sharply during Obama's second term despite the president's recent speeches in Nairobi and Addis Ababa, and at the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. \n Dedicated and hard-to-reprogram funds should be allocated to strengthen African judiciaries and legislatures, to promote civil society groups and the media, to assist women's organizations and youth groups and to support domestic and international election monitoring. Funds should also be made available to assist local organizations to undertake parallel vote counts, to aid local election commissions and to prevent pre- and post-election violence. \n Invite Tanzania's newly elected President John Magufuli to the White House: \n Tanzania is the most populous state and the largest democracy in East Africa. It is also one of the largest recipients of U.S. development assistance and a participant in all of Washington's major economic initiatives. \n In late October, Tanzania held presidential and parliamentary elections.The elections on the mainland went well, but those on the island of Zanzibar were disputed. President John Pombe Magufuli, a reform-minded academic-turned-politician, was elected without dispute, making him Tanzania's fifth democratically-elected president in a row. Although the Zanzibar election remains unresolved, it is important to reach out to Tanzania's new president early in his tenure to continue to foster the strong relationship between Dar es Salaam and Washington. \n This is particularly important since President Magufuli does not have any major ties with the United States.Tanzania also has a critical role to play in East African peace-building issues, particularly in Burundi and the eastern Congo. Early political consultations with President Magufuli and his new foreign minister, Dr. Augustine Mahiga, could prove valuable in promoting stability in the Great Lakes region. \n Send Secretary of State John Kerry to Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda and the Republic of the Congo: \n The Great Lakes Region of Central Africa is one of the most volatile and unstable regions in Africa, with daily political and ethnic violence in Burundi, and with the leaders of Rwanda, the DRC and the Congo threatening to extend themselves in office in violation of their constitutions. \n Although time is running out, there is still an opportunity to prevent further democratic backsliding and the serious instability and violence that will almost certainly be unleashed - as we are already seeing in Burundi. High level engagement with the leaders in the region is required. \n An extended visit by Secretary Kerry to the DRC, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi would be a strong signal of Washington's deep concern and interest in the region's negative political and security trajectory. Without serious engagement with the leaders on the ground, there will be no meaningful progress. \n Open a U.S. consulate in northern Nigeria and a full embassy in Mogadishu: \n The establishment of a consulate in northern Nigeria is long overdue. More than half of Nigeria's 180 million people live in the northern part of the country, an area of serious political and security concern. It is also the largest Muslim region in Africa and the largest Muslim region in the world where there is no full-time U.S. diplomatic presence. \n A U.S. diplomatic mission would advance long-term political, economic and security interests in the region and help Nigeria to deal with the economic, social and security challenges it faces there. A consulate in Kaduna, which once had one, or Kano would convey a strong signal to the Muslim community that Washington genuinely cares about the people in the region. \n Once the global poster child of a failed state, Somalia has made significant progress over the past seven years. In recognition of the progress, the U.S. re-established formal diplomatic relations with the Somali government in Mogadishu in January 2013. \n Before he leaves office, President Obama should take one more step. He should reaffirm Washington's commitment to Somalia and recognize the country's continuing progress by appointing a Senate-approved ambassador and opening a small, secure diplomatic embassy compound in downtown Mogadishu. \n Elevate U.S. diplomatic relations with Sudan: \n Relations between Washington and Khartoum have been prickly and frequently difficult for over two decades and the U.S. has not had a fully accredited, Senate-approved ambassador in Sudan since 1997. \n The Khartoum government has not been a good international actor. (Nor have Cuba, Myanmar or Iran.) The regime in Sudan has carried out mass atrocities in Darfur, prevented UN organizations from delivering food aid and humanitarian assistance to those in need and meddled in the affairs of several of its neighbors. \n But U.S.-imposed comprehensive sanctions on Khartoum have not isolated the country nor weakened its government. The U.S. should review its current policies toward Khartoum, and consider elevating its diplomatic relationship to full ambassadorial status in order to expand America's dialogue and probe for new openings to resolve some of the country's domestic and regional issues. The U.S. can do this while maintaining its sanctions regime on the government and its demands that President Omar al-Bashir address the serious human rights charges against him. \n Provide a status report on the results of the U.S.-Africa Leadership Summit: \n The U.S. Africa Leadership Summit has been one of the high points in the Obama administration's engagements in Africa. \n Leaders from 50 different countries participated in this first-of-a-kind gathering in Washington. A number of new programs were announced and a major business conference associated with the summit brought dozens of senior American business leaders into direct contact - many for the very first time - with African heads of state and prominent business leaders from the continent. \n The administration has never released a comprehensive report on the summit or a one-year progress report on the implementation of summit agreements. The issuance of some type of status report would be a useful vehicle for identifying summit objectives and initiatives as well as tracking the progress of the administration's efforts. The administration should do everything it can to sustain the goodwill and policy initiatives that emerged from the summit to help ensure that it does not become a one-off event. \n The administration should be applauded for its continuing efforts to promote greater American trade and commerce with Africa. The president has already announced that he plans to host another U.S.-Africa Business Summit similar to the day-long event his administration hosted during the 2014 Leadership Summit. The Business Summit is important, but it should not be the only thing on President Obama's Africa agenda for 2016. He has time to do more, and he should. Twelve months is a long time in the life of an administration and his foreign policy team should be building a more robust African agenda for his last year in office. \n Ambassador Carson was the U.S. \n Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs \n from 2009 to 2012. He is currently a Senior Advisor at the \n United States Institute of Peace. \n ", "simple_tokens": ["\n", "photo", ":", "\n", "allafrica", "\n", "former", "u", ".", "s", ".", "assistant",

\n Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Johnnie Carson\n
\n
\n \n guest column\n \n \n By Johnnie Carson\n \n

\n Washington, DC —\n \n After seven years in office, President Barack Obama has already engaged more broadly on Africa than any previous American president, but with one year remaining in the White House, there are still a few things he should do before he leaves, writes\n \n Johnnie Carson\n \n , the United States' top policy-maker on Africa in the first Obama administration.\n \n

\n

\n President Obama has significantly elevated and transformed America's engagement with Africa, traveling widely across the continent, championing the renewal of several old programs and launching a series of highly focused new initiatives that could help speed-up Africa's economic development.\n

\n

\n He has been particularly active in promoting economic and development issues.\n

\n

\n He fought successfully for the renewal and extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), America's most important trade legislation with Africa; he hosted the first U.S.-Africa Leadership Summit, attended by 37 heads of state; and he has established several important new economic programs, including \"Power Africa\" - to expand significantly electrical access across the continent; \"Feed the Future\" - to increase household food production and to generate a green revolution throughout Africa, and \"Trade Africa\" - to expand substantially trade between Africa and the United States.\n

\n

\n Recognizing the growing role of the continent's next generation of young leaders, President Obama established YALI - the Young African Leaders Initiative, a program that will bring 500 young African entrepreneurs, professionals and community organizers to the U.S. each year for the next several years for five weeks of leadership, organization and management training.\n

\n

\n \n But what next?\n \n

\n

\n Despite his rather impressive list of accomplishments, here are ten things the president should do before he leaves office in January 2017:\n

\n

\n \n \n Visit Nigeria:\n \n \n President Obama has traveled to Africa five times during his presidency - but he has not visited Nigeria, the continent's economic, political, communications and petroleum giant, and its most important state. It is the continent's largest economy - almost twice the size of South Africa's and a third larger than that of Egypt.\n

\n

\n It is also the continent's most populous state, with 180 million people, its largest Muslim country, and its largest democracy.\n

\n

\n The president has visited every major country on the continent except Nigeria, and it would be a mistake for him to leave the White House without a stop in Lagos or Abuja.\n

\n

\n Some have suggested that security may be a concern because of Boko Haram, but if the president can travel safely to Nairobi, where al Shabaab has carried out high profile attacks in the center of the city, he should be able to travel safely to Abuja or Lagos. He is bound to make one more trip to Europe, and a stop in Nigeria - similar to his 2009 visit to Ghana - would not be a major diversion.\n

\n

\n \n

\n \n \n Co-host a regional summit on democracy in west Africa:\n \n \n Strengthening democracy institutions, promoting good governance and supporting free and fair elections has been a major priority for the Obama administration in Africa.\n

\n

\n During his first official visit to the continent as president in July 2009, President Obama spoke eloquently before the Ghanaian Parliament about the importance of democracy and good governance and the need to create \"more strong institutions, not more strong men.\" With a growing number of African leaders attempting to extend their terms of office, democracy remains fragile across the continent. The president could give democracy in Africa a boost and reaffirm America's strong commitment to Africa's political progress by hosting a conference in West Africa with the democratically-elected leaders of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.\n

\n

\n \n \n Support Nigeria's permanent membership in the G20:\n \n \n President Obama has said that he wants to ensure that Africa has a place at the table to participate in the deliberations concerning major global political and economic issues. One way to accomplish that is to expand or reorganize the G20 group of nations to include Nigeria as a permanent member of this important global organization.\n

\n

\n Nigeria is already more important than several of the current G20 members, notably Argentina and South Africa, and over the next two decades it will become one of the world's mega states, eclipsing several other G20 members in the size of its economy, population and regional influence. It would also be one of the G20's largest democracies. The administration should make the inclusion of Nigeria a priority over the next 12 months.\n

\n

\n \n \n Press for the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation:\n \n \n Power Africa is one of President Obama's most important signature initiatives. In the world's most energy deficient and starved continent, it is intended to increase Africa's power output by 30,000 megawatts over the next decade or two.\n

\n

\n But like a number of recent White House initiatives, Power Africa is not backed by any legislative mandate and could be easily brushed aside after the Obama administration leaves office. The program enjoys bi-partisan support in the Congress and the administration needs to work with congressional leaders to prioritize the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation. At the same time, the administration needs to create a senior level \"Power Africa czar\" to manage the program and consider moving interagency responsibility for oversight from USAID to a cabinet level department.\n

\n

\n \n \n Instruct USAID to establish a permanent democracy fund:\n \n \n If democracy promotion is an important priority, it should be funded adequately and on a long-term basis. Today that is not the case. Funding for democracy has declined sharply during Obama's second term despite the president's recent speeches in Nairobi and Addis Ababa, and at the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.\n

\n

\n Dedicated and hard-to-reprogram funds should be allocated to strengthen African judiciaries and legislatures, to promote civil society groups and the media, to assist women's organizations and youth groups and to support domestic and international election monitoring. Funds should also be made available to assist local organizations to undertake parallel vote counts, to aid local election commissions and to prevent pre- and post-election violence.\n

\n \n \n Invite Tanzania's newly elected President John Magufuli to the White House:\n \n \n Tanzania is the most populous state and the largest democracy in East Africa. It is also one of the largest recipients of U.S. development assistance and a participant in all of Washington's major economic initiatives.\n

\n

\n In late October, Tanzania held presidential and parliamentary elections.The elections on the mainland went well, but those on the island of Zanzibar were disputed. President John Pombe Magufuli, a reform-minded academic-turned-politician, was elected without dispute, making him Tanzania's fifth democratically-elected president in a row. Although the Zanzibar election remains unresolved, it is important to reach out to Tanzania's new president early in his tenure to continue to foster the strong relationship between Dar es Salaam and Washington.\n

\n

\n This is particularly important since President Magufuli does not have any major ties with the United States.Tanzania also has a critical role to play in East African peace-building issues, particularly in Burundi and the eastern Congo. Early political consultations with President Magufuli and his new foreign minister, Dr. Augustine Mahiga, could prove valuable in promoting stability in the Great Lakes region.\n

\n

\n \n \n Send Secretary of State John Kerry to Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda and the Republic of the Congo:\n \n \n The Great Lakes Region of Central Africa is one of the most volatile and unstable regions in Africa, with daily political and ethnic violence in Burundi, and with the leaders of Rwanda, the DRC and the Congo threatening to extend themselves in office in violation of their constitutions.\n

\n

\n Although time is running out, there is still an opportunity to prevent further democratic backsliding and the serious instability and violence that will almost certainly be unleashed - as we are already seeing in Burundi. High level engagement with the leaders in the region is required.\n

\n

\n An extended visit by Secretary Kerry to the DRC, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi would be a strong signal of Washington's deep concern and interest in the region's negative political and security trajectory. Without serious engagement with the leaders on the ground, there will be no meaningful progress.\n

\n

\n \n \n Open a U.S. consulate in northern Nigeria and a full embassy in Mogadishu:\n \n \n The establishment of a consulate in northern Nigeria is long overdue. More than half of Nigeria's 180 million people live in the northern part of the country, an area of serious political and security concern. It is also the largest Muslim region in Africa and the largest Muslim region in the world where there is no full-time U.S. diplomatic presence.\n

\n

\n A U.S. diplomatic mission would advance long-term political, economic and security interests in the region and help Nigeria to deal with the economic, social and security challenges it faces there. A consulate in Kaduna, which once had one, or Kano would convey a strong signal to the Muslim community that Washington genuinely cares about the people in the region.\n

\n

\n Once the global poster child of a failed state, Somalia has made significant progress over the past seven years. In recognition of the progress, the U.S. re-established formal diplomatic relations with the Somali government in Mogadishu in January 2013.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n Before he leaves office, President Obama should take one more step. He should reaffirm Washington's commitment to Somalia and recognize the country's continuing progress by appointing a Senate-approved ambassador and opening a small, secure diplomatic embassy compound in downtown Mogadishu.\n

\n

\n \n \n Elevate U.S. diplomatic relations with Sudan:\n \n \n Relations between Washington and Khartoum have been prickly and frequently difficult for over two decades and the U.S. has not had a fully accredited, Senate-approved ambassador in Sudan since 1997.\n

\n

\n The Khartoum government has not been a good international actor. (Nor have Cuba, Myanmar or Iran.) The regime in Sudan has carried out mass atrocities in Darfur, prevented UN organizations from delivering food aid and humanitarian assistance to those in need and meddled in the affairs of several of its neighbors.\n

\n

\n But U.S.-imposed comprehensive sanctions on Khartoum have not isolated the country nor weakened its government. The U.S. should review its current policies toward Khartoum, and consider elevating its diplomatic relationship to full ambassadorial status in order to expand America's dialogue and probe for new openings to resolve some of the country's domestic and regional issues. The U.S. can do this while maintaining its sanctions regime on the government and its demands that President Omar al-Bashir address the serious human rights charges against him.\n

\n

\n \n \n Provide a status report on the results of the U.S.-Africa Leadership Summit:\n \n \n The U.S. Africa Leadership Summit has been one of the high points in the Obama administration's engagements in Africa.\n

\n

\n Leaders from 50 different countries participated in this first-of-a-kind gathering in Washington. A number of new programs were announced and a major business conference associated with the summit brought dozens of senior American business leaders into direct contact - many for the very first time - with African heads of state and prominent business leaders from the continent.\n

\n

\n The administration has never released a comprehensive report on the summit or a one-year progress report on the implementation of summit agreements. The issuance of some type of status report would be a useful vehicle for identifying summit objectives and initiatives as well as tracking the progress of the administration's efforts. The administration should do everything it can to sustain the goodwill and policy initiatives that emerged from the summit to help ensure that it does not become a one-off event.\n

\n

\n The administration should be applauded for its continuing efforts to promote greater American trade and commerce with Africa. The president has already announced that he plans to host another U.S.-Africa Business Summit similar to the day-long event his administration hosted during the 2014 Leadership Summit. The Business Summit is important, but it should not be the only thing on President Obama's Africa agenda for 2016. He has time to do more, and he should. Twelve months is a long time in the life of an administration and his foreign policy team should be building a more robust African agenda for his last year in office.\n

\n

\n \n Ambassador Carson was the U.S.\n \n Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs\n \n from 2009 to 2012. He is currently a Senior Advisor at the\n \n United States Institute of Peace.\n \n \n

25 Elite Runners From Jos Sign Up for Race \n Twenty-five elite athletes from the High Altitude Athletics Club of Jos, Plateau State, and some fun runners will be in Lagos to participate in the February 6, 2016, Access Bank Lagos City Marathon. \n Plateau State and adjoining states like Bauchi, Kaduna, Gombe and others have the highest number of long distance road races and marathon runners in Nigeria. \n Coach Steve Nuhu, owner of the High Altitude Athletics Club, said the return of the Lagos City Marathon is one of the best things to happen to Nigeria sports in recent times, \n \"We are talking about youth empowerment, unemployment and other vices, what better way to engage our youth than having many marathons and road races in Nigeria. \n \"I hope and pray that many other states, especially states in the Northern part of the country with a very high percentage of distance runners who train year in, year out but are not involved in competitions because of dearth or even absence of competitions will take a cue from Lagos and organize more road races, half and full marathons.\" \n For the February 6 race in Lagos, Coach Nuhu is optimistic that his athletes will not only win the national title but will also give the elite athletes from other parts of the world a good fight for the ultimate prize, \n \"For us, the February 6 race is a celebration of our sports. We are coming to Lagos with 25 elite marathoners and many fun runners. Our target is not just the prizes for Nigerians, but also the ultimate prize. The reason why our athletes are not running fantastic time is because we don't have competitions regularly like the Kenyans. \n \"The moment we start and make money on the road, we shall compete more and rival East Africans for the best prizes around the globe\" said Nuhu. \n Copyright \n 2016 Premium Times.

We are coming to Lagos with 25 elite marathoners and many fun runners. Our target is not just the prizes for Nigerians, but also the ultimate prize.

\n Twenty-five elite athletes from the High Altitude Athletics Club of Jos, Plateau State, and some fun runners will be in Lagos to participate in the February 6, 2016, Access Bank Lagos City Marathon.\n

\n

\n Plateau State and adjoining states like Bauchi, Kaduna, Gombe and others have the highest number of long distance road races and marathon runners in Nigeria.\n

\n

\n Coach Steve Nuhu, owner of the High Altitude Athletics Club, said the return of the Lagos City Marathon is one of the best things to happen to Nigeria sports in recent times,\n

\n

\n \"We are talking about youth empowerment, unemployment and other vices, what better way to engage our youth than having many marathons and road races in Nigeria.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n \"I hope and pray that many other states, especially states in the Northern part of the country with a very high percentage of distance runners who train year in, year out but are not involved in competitions because of dearth or even absence of competitions will take a cue from Lagos and organize more road races, half and full marathons.\"\n

\n

\n For the February 6 race in Lagos, Coach Nuhu is optimistic that his athletes will not only win the national title but will also give the elite athletes from other parts of the world a good fight for the ultimate prize,\n

\n

\n \"For us, the February 6 race is a celebration of our sports. We are coming to Lagos with 25 elite marathoners and many fun runners. Our target is not just the prizes for Nigerians, but also the ultimate prize. The reason why our athletes are not running fantastic time is because we don't have competitions regularly like the Kenyans.\n

\n

\n \"The moment we start and make money on the road, we shall compete more and rival East Africans for the best prizes around the globe\" said Nuhu.\n

Vanguard, has said it is a figment of imagination of those who alleged that wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Mrs Patience Jonathan recently met former Niger Delta Militants headed by Chief Ateke Tom in Okrika, Rivers State to discuss modalities of supporting the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Timipre Sylvain in the January 9 rescheduled governorship election in Bayelsa State, describing the purported meeting as untrue. \n Speaking at a media roundtable in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Sunday, the group's President, Dr. Bright Numofagha stated that Mrs. Patience Jonathan, who is the Chair of the group's board of trustees at no time contemplated giving any kind of support to the Bayelsa APC governorship candidate, describing the rumoured support and meeting with Chief Ateke Tom led former militants group as \"ridiculous and unfounded\". \n He stated that those peddling the 'falsehood' should have known that it was impossible for Mrs Jonathan to support any other candidate against the choice of her husband, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, in his home State of Bayelsa, other than the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP's flagbearer, Governor Henry Seriake Dickson. \n The group, therefore, urged the general public, to disregard the rumoured endorsement of Chief Timipre Sylva by Dame Patience Jonathan, as it described it as the desperate attempt by the APC in Bayelsa State and its candidate to ride on the goodwill of the Jonathans in Bayelsa State, to manipulate the outcome of the supplementary governorship election in the State, scheduled for the 9th of January, 2016. \n The group advised Chief Timipre Sylva to accept the decision of the people of Bayelsa State, as expressed during the December 5th 2015 election, where Governor Dickson currently maintains a clear lead in six of the seven local governments, where results have already been declared in the election. \n Dr. Numofagha also urged the people of Bayelsa, to remain peaceful and law abiding and never succumb to any form of violence and intimidation that the expected engagements of known Militants and political thugs, by the Bayelsa State APC, may have been intended to achieve. \n He further noted that former President Goodluck Jonathan and his family, including the wife, are currently on vacation in the United Kingdom, hence there was no way Mrs Patience could have attended any political meeting the last few days. \n "}], "location_non_gpe": [{"confidence": 1, "provenance": [{"source": {"segment": "content_strict", "context": {"start": 40,

Sylva's Re-Election. \n By Blessing Obineche \n The President, Rivers Patriotic Vanguard, has said it is a figment of imagination of those who alleged that wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Mrs Patience Jonathan recently met former Niger Delta Militants headed by Chief Ateke Tom in Okrika, Rivers State to discuss modalities of supporting the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Timipre Sylvain in the January 9 rescheduled governorship election in Bayelsa State, describing the purported meeting as untrue. \n Speaking at a media roundtable in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Sunday, the group's President, Dr. Bright Numofagha stated that Mrs. Patience Jonathan, who is the Chair of the group's board of trustees at no time contemplated giving any kind of support to the Bayelsa APC governorship candidate, describing the rumoured support and meeting with Chief Ateke Tom led former militants group as \"ridiculous and unfounded\". \n He stated that those peddling the 'falsehood' should have known that it was impossible for Mrs Jonathan to support any other candidate against the choice of her husband, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, in his home State of Bayelsa, other than the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP's flagbearer, Governor Henry Seriake Dickson. \n The group, therefore, urged the general public, to disregard the rumoured endorsement of Chief Timipre Sylva by Dame Patience Jonathan, as it described it as the desperate attempt by the APC in Bayelsa State and its candidate to ride on the goodwill of the Jonathans in Bayelsa State, to manipulate the outcome of the supplementary governorship election in the State, scheduled for the 9th of January, 2016. \n The group advised Chief Timipre Sylva to accept the decision of the people of Bayelsa State, as expressed during the December 5th 2015 election, where Governor Dickson currently maintains a clear lead in six of the seven local governments, where results have already been declared in the election. \n Dr. Numofagha also urged the people of Bayelsa, to remain peaceful and law abiding and never succumb to any form of violence and intimidation that the expected engagements of known Militants and political thugs, by the Bayelsa State APC, may have been intended to achieve. \n He further noted that former President Goodluck Jonathan and his family, including the wife, are currently on vacation in the United Kingdom, hence there was no way Mrs Patience could have attended any political meeting the last few days. \n Copyright \n 2016 Leadership.

has said it is a figment of imagination of those who alleged that wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Mrs Patience Jonathan recently met former Niger Delta Militants headed by Chief Ateke Tom in Okrika, Rivers State to discuss modalities of supporting the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Timipre Sylvain in the January 9 rescheduled governorship election in Bayelsa State, describing the purported meeting as untrue. \n Speaking at a media roundtable in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Sunday, the group's President, Dr. Bright Numofagha stated that Mrs. Patience Jonathan, who is the Chair of the group's board of trustees at no time contemplated giving any kind of support to the Bayelsa APC governorship candidate, describing the rumoured support and meeting with Chief Ateke Tom led former militants group as \"ridiculous and unfounded\". \n He stated that those peddling the 'falsehood' should have known that it was impossible for Mrs Jonathan to support any other candidate against the choice of her husband, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, in his home State of Bayelsa, other than the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP's flagbearer, Governor Henry Seriake Dickson. \n The group, therefore, urged the general public, to disregard the rumoured endorsement of Chief Timipre Sylva by Dame Patience Jonathan, as it described it as the desperate attempt by the APC in Bayelsa State and its candidate to ride on the goodwill of the Jonathans in Bayelsa State, to manipulate the outcome of the supplementary governorship election in the State, scheduled for the 9th of January, 2016. \n The group advised Chief Timipre Sylva to accept the decision of the people of Bayelsa State, as expressed during the December 5th 2015 election, where Governor Dickson currently maintains a clear lead in six of the seven local governments, where results have already been declared in the election. \n Dr. Numofagha also urged the people of Bayelsa, to remain peaceful and law abiding and never succumb to any form of violence and intimidation that the expected engagements of known Militants and political thugs, by the Bayelsa State APC, may have been intended to achieve. \n He further noted that former President Goodluck Jonathan and his family, including the wife, are currently on vacation in the United Kingdom, hence there was no way Mrs Patience could have attended any political meeting the last few days. \n ", "simple_tokens": ["\n", "by", "blessing", "obineche", "\n", "the", "president", ",", "rivers", "patriotic", "vanguard", ",", "has", "said",

\n \n By Blessing Obineche\n \n

\n The President, Rivers Patriotic Vanguard, has said it is a figment of imagination of those who alleged that wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Mrs Patience Jonathan recently met former Niger Delta Militants headed by Chief Ateke Tom in Okrika, Rivers State to discuss modalities of supporting the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Timipre Sylvain in the January 9 rescheduled governorship election in Bayelsa State, describing the purported meeting as untrue.\n

\n

\n Speaking at a media roundtable in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Sunday, the group's President, Dr. Bright Numofagha stated that Mrs. Patience Jonathan, who is the Chair of the group's board of trustees at no time contemplated giving any kind of support to the Bayelsa APC governorship candidate, describing the rumoured support and meeting with Chief Ateke Tom led former militants group as \"ridiculous and unfounded\".\n

\n

\n He stated that those peddling the 'falsehood' should have known that it was impossible for Mrs Jonathan to support any other candidate against the choice of her husband, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, in his home State of Bayelsa, other than the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP's flagbearer, Governor Henry Seriake Dickson.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n The group, therefore, urged the general public, to disregard the rumoured endorsement of Chief Timipre Sylva by Dame Patience Jonathan, as it described it as the desperate attempt by the APC in Bayelsa State and its candidate to ride on the goodwill of the Jonathans in Bayelsa State, to manipulate the outcome of the supplementary governorship election in the State, scheduled for the 9th of January, 2016.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n The group advised Chief Timipre Sylva to accept the decision of the people of Bayelsa State, as expressed during the December 5th 2015 election, where Governor Dickson currently maintains a clear lead in six of the seven local governments, where results have already been declared in the election.\n

\n

\n Dr. Numofagha also urged the people of Bayelsa, to remain peaceful and law abiding and never succumb to any form of violence and intimidation that the expected engagements of known Militants and political thugs, by the Bayelsa State APC, may have been intended to achieve.\n

\n

\n He further noted that former President Goodluck Jonathan and his family, including the wife, are currently on vacation in the United Kingdom, hence there was no way Mrs Patience could have attended any political meeting the last few days.\n

This, he hoped would be realized if Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike (MOUAU) eventually gets the nod to run medical programmes, as planned. \n \"FMC is long overdue to become a teaching hospital,\" he asserted, adding that with the level of excellence it has attained, if more public hospitals could be upgraded to create pockets of excellence\" across the country it would curtail the craze for medical tourism by Nigerians,\" he explained. \n He stated that the FMC has continued to expand its services with building of new wards of 88 beds to increase the existing bed spaces from 287 to 375, while the provision of advanced diagnostic centre and other modern medical equipment would be completed next year. \n Dr Abali said that the advanced diagnostic centre was being funded by the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) and would involve installing of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine to compliment the CT scanner already in use. \n \"We plan to deepen our services to make FMC Umuahia stand out as the best medical facilities in the South East and South South,\" he said, adding, \"We feel that improving our services will attract people from far and near\". \n According to him, the FMC Umuahia was selected for the South East zone in the intervention by the NSIA, while the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) was chosen from the South West and Aminu Kano hospital for the North. \n \"This FMC has deepened services in internal medicine, while the dialysis centre is undergoing expansion with addition of two dialysis machine to make it six and eventually reach the target of 10, while it also boasts of purpose-built In-Vitro Fertilisation laboratory, which is ranked among the best in the country,\" he stated. \n To further improve services, Dr Abali said that management has adopted the use of social media (WhatsAPP) platform to transmit scan results to doctors, thereby giving the 76 full time consultants, including three neurosurgeons at the FMC Umuahia opportunity to give their best in treating patients. He said that he developed the passion to turn FMC Umuahia into a medical haven when he was undergoing five months medical care in the United Kingdom, following an assassination attempt in October 2011 when armed men shot him. \n \"I promised God that I will replicate the medical facilities I saw there (UK),\" he said, adding \"If we get all that we ask for, there is really no limit to what we can

This, he hoped would be realized if Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike (MOUAU) eventually gets the nod to run medical programmes, as planned. \n \"FMC is long overdue to become a teaching hospital,\" he asserted, adding that with the level of excellence it has attained, if more public hospitals could be upgraded to create pockets of excellence\" across the country it would curtail the craze for medical tourism by Nigerians,\" he explained. \n He stated that the FMC has continued to expand its services with building of new wards of 88 beds to increase the existing bed spaces from 287 to 375, while the provision of advanced diagnostic centre and other modern medical equipment would be completed next year. \n Dr Abali said that the advanced diagnostic centre was being funded by the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) and would involve installing of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine to compliment the CT scanner already in use. \n \"We plan to deepen our services to make FMC Umuahia stand out as the best medical facilities in the South East and South South,\" he said, adding, \"We feel that improving our services will attract people from far and near\". \n According to him, the FMC Umuahia was selected for the South East zone in the intervention by the NSIA, while the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) was chosen from the South West and Aminu Kano hospital for the North. \n \"This FMC has deepened services in internal medicine, while the dialysis centre is undergoing expansion with addition of two dialysis machine to make it six and eventually reach the target of 10, while it also boasts of purpose-built In-Vitro Fertilisation laboratory, which is ranked among the best in the country,\" he stated. \n To further improve services, Dr Abali said that management has adopted the use of social media (WhatsAPP) platform to transmit scan results to doctors, thereby giving the 76 full time consultants, including three neurosurgeons at the FMC Umuahia opportunity to give their best in treating patients. He said that he developed the passion to turn FMC Umuahia into a medical haven when he was undergoing five months medical care in the United Kingdom, following an assassination attempt in October 2011 when armed men shot him. \n \"I promised God that I will replicate the medical facilities I saw there (UK),\" he said, adding \"If we get all that we ask for, there is really no limit to what we can go in providing world class medical care at FMC Umuahia,\" the MD explained. \n Copyright \n 2016 This Day.

This, he hoped would be realized if Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike (MOUAU) eventually gets the nod to run medical programmes, as planned. \n \"FMC is long overdue to become a teaching hospital,\" he asserted, adding that with the level of excellence it has attained, if more public hospitals could be upgraded to create pockets of excellence\" across the country it would curtail the craze for medical tourism by Nigerians,\" he explained. \n He stated that the FMC has continued to expand its services with building of new wards of 88 beds to increase the existing bed spaces from 287 to 375, while the provision of advanced diagnostic centre and other modern medical equipment would be completed next year. \n Dr Abali said that the advanced diagnostic centre was being funded by the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) and would involve installing of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine to compliment the CT scanner already in use. \n \"We plan to deepen our services to make FMC Umuahia stand out as the best medical facilities in the South East and South South,\" he said, adding, \"We feel that improving our services will attract people from far and near\". \n According to him, the FMC Umuahia was selected for the South East zone in the intervention by the NSIA, while the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) was chosen from the South West and Aminu Kano hospital for the North. \n \"This FMC has deepened services in internal medicine, while the dialysis centre is undergoing expansion with addition of two dialysis machine to make it six and eventually reach the target of 10, while it also boasts of purpose-built In-Vitro Fertilisation laboratory, which is ranked among the best in the country,\" he stated. \n To further improve services, Dr Abali said that management has adopted the use of social media (WhatsAPP) platform to transmit scan results to doctors, thereby giving the 76 full time consultants, including three neurosurgeons at the FMC Umuahia opportunity to give their best in treating patients. He said that he developed the passion to turn FMC Umuahia into a medical haven when he was undergoing five months medical care in the United Kingdom, following an assassination attempt in October 2011 when armed men shot him. \n \"I promised God that I will replicate the medical facilities I saw there (UK),\" he said, adding \"If we get all that we ask for, there is really no limit to what we can go in providing world class medical care at FMC Umuahia,\" the MD explained. \n ", "simple_tokens": ["\n", "by", "emmanuel", "ugwu", "\n", "with", "the", "expansion", "undergone", "in", "terms", "of",

\n \n By Emmanuel Ugwu\n \n

\n With the expansion undergone in terms of medical facilities and availability of highly skilled personnel, the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Umuahia is ripe to be upgraded to a teaching hospital, the medical director (MD), Dr Chuku Abali had said.\n

\n

\n Speaking with journalists on the progress so far recorded and the future plans for the institution, the MD said the FMC which sits on a 77 hectare in the capital city can comfortably be converted into a teaching hospital. This, he hoped would be realized if Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike (MOUAU) eventually gets the nod to run medical programmes, as planned.\n

\n

\n \"FMC is long overdue to become a teaching hospital,\" he asserted, adding that with the level of excellence it has attained, if more public hospitals could be upgraded to create pockets of excellence\" across the country it would curtail the craze for medical tourism by Nigerians,\" he explained.\n

\n

\n He stated that the FMC has continued to expand its services with building of new wards of 88 beds to increase the existing bed spaces from 287 to 375, while the provision of advanced diagnostic centre and other modern medical equipment would be completed next year.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n Dr Abali said that the advanced diagnostic centre was being funded by the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) and would involve installing of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine to compliment the CT scanner already in use.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n \"We plan to deepen our services to make FMC Umuahia stand out as the best medical facilities in the South East and South South,\" he said, adding, \"We feel that improving our services will attract people from far and near\".\n

\n

\n According to him, the FMC Umuahia was selected for the South East zone in the intervention by the NSIA, while the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) was chosen from the South West and Aminu Kano hospital for the North.\n

\n

\n \"This FMC has deepened services in internal medicine, while the dialysis centre is undergoing expansion with addition of two dialysis machine to make it six and eventually reach the target of 10, while it also boasts of purpose-built In-Vitro Fertilisation laboratory, which is ranked among the best in the country,\" he stated.\n

\n

\n To further improve services, Dr Abali said that management has adopted the use of social media (WhatsAPP) platform to transmit scan results to doctors, thereby giving the 76 full time consultants, including three neurosurgeons at the FMC Umuahia opportunity to give their best in treating patients. He said that he developed the passion to turn FMC Umuahia into a medical haven when he was undergoing five months medical care in the United Kingdom, following an assassination attempt in October 2011 when armed men shot him.\n

\n

\n \"I promised God that I will replicate the medical facilities I saw there (UK),\" he said, adding \"If we get all that we ask for, there is really no limit to what we can go in providing world class medical care at FMC Umuahia,\" the MD explained.\n

He challenged the APC to present evidence of how the alleged sum of N200m was handed to the INEC's REC by Governor Seriake Dickson, through whom, and by what channel it was transmitted. \n The group berated the APC for what he termed its provocative acts of mudslinging, in a desperate bid to manipulate the outcome of the rescheduled elections in the Southern Ijaw Local government area of the State, scheduled for January 9th, 2016, which it said, will not work. \n The group also disclosed that it was aware that investigation is ongoing into the claim by Mr. Baritor Kpagih that some influential politicians attempted to bribe him before the December 2015 Governorship election, as information has it already, that the APC governorship candidate, Chief Timipre Sylva did actually approached the REC, through his wife with a cash sum of One million US Dollars which was out rightly rejected by Mrs. Kpaghi. \n The group however called on all Bayelsans and supporters of Governor Seriake Dickson to remain steadfast and continue to support the PDP administration in the state to deliver on its agenda of economic development, job and wealth creation, as well as industrialisation.

He challenged the APC to present evidence of how the alleged sum of N200m was handed to the INEC's REC by Governor Seriake Dickson, through whom, and by what channel it was transmitted. \n The group berated the APC for what he termed its provocative acts of mudslinging, in a desperate bid to manipulate the outcome of the rescheduled elections in the Southern Ijaw Local government area of the State, scheduled for January 9th, 2016, which it said, will not work. \n The group also disclosed that it was aware that investigation is ongoing into the claim by Mr. Baritor Kpagih that some influential politicians attempted to bribe him before the December 2015 Governorship election, as information has it already, that the APC governorship candidate, Chief Timipre Sylva did actually approached the REC, through his wife with a cash sum of One million US Dollars which was out rightly rejected by Mrs. Kpaghi. \n The group however called on all Bayelsans and supporters of Governor Seriake Dickson to remain steadfast and continue to support the PDP administration in the state to deliver on its agenda of economic development, job and wealth creation, as well as industrialisation. \n Copyright \n 2016 Leadership.

He challenged the APC to present evidence of how the alleged sum of N200m was handed to the INEC's REC by Governor Seriake Dickson, through whom, and by what channel it was transmitted. \n The group berated the APC for what he termed its provocative acts of mudslinging, in a desperate bid to manipulate the outcome of the rescheduled elections in the Southern Ijaw Local government area of the State, scheduled for January 9th, 2016, which it said, will not work. \n The group also disclosed that it was aware that investigation is ongoing into the claim by Mr. Baritor Kpagih that some influential politicians attempted to bribe him before the December 2015 Governorship election, as information has it already, that the APC governorship candidate, Chief Timipre Sylva did actually approached the REC, through his wife with a cash sum of One million US Dollars which was out rightly rejected by Mrs. Kpaghi. \n The group however called on all Bayelsans and supporters of Governor Seriake Dickson to remain steadfast and continue to support the PDP administration in the state to deliver on its agenda of economic development, job and wealth creation, as well as industrialisation.

\n The Bayelsa State Justice Forum, has taken a swipe at the All Progressives Congress (APC), over the claim, that the Governor of Bayelsa and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), offered a bribe of two hundred million Naira, to the State's Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr. Baritor Kpagih to manipulate the outcome of the December 2015 governorship election in the State, in favor of the PDP.\n

\n

\n The Forum through its Coordinator, Pastor Markson Konugha in a release sent to journalists in Yenegoa, described as false, spurious and baseless, the alarmist cry by the APC, accusing the REC and Governor Seriake Dickson, in the alleged scandal.\n

\n

\n Reacting to the allegation, Pastor Konugha who laughed off the APC allegation being made through one of its front in INEC, Mr Francis Asmakia Tedobserved that while it was not necessary to join issues with the APC, a party which has already lost the governorship election in Bayelsa State, and is reputed to thrive on propaganda and blackmail, it was pertinent to set the records straight so that the unsuspecting public is not misled and misinformed by the APC.\n

\n

\n The Group's Coordinator said the bribe story only exists in the imagination of its authors. He challenged the APC to present evidence of how the alleged sum of N200m was handed to the INEC's REC by Governor Seriake Dickson, through whom, and by what channel it was transmitted.\n

\n

\n The group berated the APC for what he termed its provocative acts of mudslinging, in a desperate bid to manipulate the outcome of the rescheduled elections in the Southern Ijaw Local government area of the State, scheduled for January 9th, 2016, which it said, will not work.\n

\n

\n The group also disclosed that it was aware that investigation is ongoing into the claim by Mr. Baritor Kpagih that some influential politicians attempted to bribe him before the December 2015 Governorship election, as information has it already, that the APC governorship candidate, Chief Timipre Sylva did actually approached the REC, through his wife with a cash sum of One million US Dollars which was out rightly rejected by Mrs. Kpaghi.\n

\n

\n The group however called on all Bayelsans and supporters of Governor Seriake Dickson to remain steadfast and continue to support the PDP administration in the state to deliver on its agenda of economic development, job and wealth creation, as well as industrialisation.\n

The Presidency has denied speculations that the Buhari administration has banned Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.

Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President on Media Chat on Wednesday, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the speculations were unfounded, and that the Buhari administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom as it affects everyone.

Mr. Shehu, while admitting thatHijab is being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violates the teachings of Islam, said the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.

\"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" the statement said.

According to him, the increasing abuse of the Hijabby terrorists to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities is a reality, and that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.

Nigeria: Presidency Denies Plan to Ban Hijab

The Presidency has denied speculations that the Buhari administration has banned Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.

Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President on Media Chat on Wednesday, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the speculations were unfounded, and that the Buhari administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom as it affects everyone.

Mr. Shehu, while admitting thatHijab is being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violates the teachings of Islam, said the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.

\"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" the statement said.

According to him, the increasing abuse of the Hijabby terrorists to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities is a reality, and that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.

\n The Presidency has denied speculations that the Buhari administration has banned Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.\n

\n

\n Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President on Media Chat on Wednesday, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the speculations were unfounded, and that the Buhari administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom as it affects everyone.\n

\n

\n Mr. Shehu, while admitting thatHijab is being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violates the teachings of Islam, said the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.\n

\n
\n
\n

\n \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" the statement said.\n

\n

\n According to him, the increasing abuse of the Hijabby terrorists to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities is a reality, and that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.\n

By Senator Iroegbu in Abuja, Wole Ayodele in Jalingo and Emmanuel Ugwu in Umuahia

The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja and Owerri on Thursday affirmed Mr. Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Mr. Alex Otti of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as winners of the April 11 governorship elections in Taraba and Abia States, respectively.

The Abuja appellate court, in its judgment, set aside the decision of the state Election Petitions Tribunal, which sacked the Taraba governor from office based on pre-election matters.

Delivering judgment on the three appeals and cross-appeal that emanated from the judgment of the tribunal, which sat in Abuja because of security concerns in the North-east, a five-member panel of justices headed by Justice Abdul Aboki set aside the ruling of the tribunal.

Justice Aboki, who read the unanimous judgment, held that it was a gross misdirection for the tribunal to have declared the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mrs. Aisha Jumai Alhassan, also known as \"Mama Taraba\", winner of the gubernatorial poll on the basis that she scored the second highest number of votes in the election.

The court also held that from the evidence of witnesses to the petitioners before the tribunal, Ishaku was validly elected and sponsored by his party, the PDP, to vie for the governorship seat of the state in accordance with the constitution, the Electoral Act and in accordance with the election guidelines as laid down by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). \"Therefore the judgment of the Taraba State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal is hereby declared null, void and set aside in its entirety.

\"The appellant's appeal is meritorious and is hereby allowed,\" Justice Aboki held. The judge went further to affirm \"Darius Dickson Ishaku as the dully elected governor of Taraba State\". According to the court, APC and its governorship candidate, who were the first and second respondents in the appeal, had no locus standi under the law to challenge the primary election of the PDP, which produced Ishaku as its candidate for the election as none of them is a member of the PDP.

It also held that INEC superintends the activities of political parties and if there was any breach or failure of the PDP to give the electoral body 21 days notice of its primary as alleged, it should not have been the headache of the APC and its governorship candidate, adding that the only person that could have complained of the conduct of a party's primary election was the person who participated in the said primary election and INEC.

According to the court, the Electoral Act specifies the procedures for the election and sponsorship of a candidate by a political party and that the right to complain is limited to participants in the primary election.

The Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar-led tribunal, had in a petition filed by APC and Alhassan, held that the purported nomination of the governorship candidate by PDP breached Section 85 of the Electoral Act and ordered Ishaku to vacate his office.

Justice Abubakar had in a judgment ordered that Alhassan be sworn in as governor because the PDP did not conduct a valid primary that threw Ishaku up as its standard-bearer.

The tribunal however held that the APC governorship candidate could not adequately prove her allegation of \"over-voting, irregularities, and non-compliance with the Electoral Act 2010\".

Dissatisfied with the judgment, Ishaku filed an appeal, asking the appellate court to set aside the judgment of the tribunal. Reacting to the appellate court's ruling yesterday, Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, was thrown into jubilation, as residents marched through major streets of the town in celebration of the judgment.

Residents in their thousands took to the streets, particularly around Hammaruwa Way, ATC, Mile 6 and Magami in motorcades and moved round the town singing and dancing.

Traffic was obstructed and halted for several hours in the town as the convoy, which included women and children, and was carrying large loudspeakers obstructed the flow of traffic along the major roads.

Enyetere Ambituni, one of the jubilant residents, told THISDAY that the judiciary proved once again to be the last hope of the common man and had vindicated the majority of the people of the state who overwhelmingly voted for Ishaku as their governor.

According to him, \"We are celebrating today because the judiciary has once again shown that it is the last hope of the oppressed. The people of Taraba who overwhelmingly voted Ishaku as their governor have been vindicated.\"

In Owerri, the Appeal Court also nullified the election of the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, and declared the governorship candidate of APGA, Otti, as the winner of the governorship election conducted in April. Otti had gone to the appeal court to challenge the verdict of the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal which upheld the election of Ikpeazu.

Just like he did at the tribunal, the APGA candidate contested the controversial results from Obingwa, Osisioma and Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Areas that the returning officer cancelled and later reversed. However, the results from the three local governments turned out to be the determinant in the Appeal Court's judgment delivered by Justice Oyebisi Omoleye.

The five-member panel unanimously agreed that the controversial results should not have been included in the final results and therefore cancelled them and after doing the mathematics, held that Otti scored the highest number of valid votes. In the governorship poll, Ikpeazu had emerged winner with 264,713 as against 180,882 votes credited to Otti by INEC which was affirmed by the tribunal.

But after subtracting the scores of the candidates in the three council areas, the appeal panel held that Otti scored a total of 164,332 votes as against 114,444 obtained by Ikpeazu.

Accordingly, Justice Omoleye held that the APGA candidate was duly elected and should be sworn in as governor of Abia State. Expectedly, when the news of Otti's victory at the appeal court filtered into Umuahia, the capital, there were wild jubilations by supporters of APGA. Scores of jubilant party supporters mounted tricycles and drove along major streets of the capital city waving party flags, singing and praising Otti for his tenacity.

However, the ruling by the appellate court did not go down well with Ikpeazu, whose aide said that the governor would \"definitely challenge the ruling at the Supreme Court\".

Also addressing the press yesterday in Umuahia, Ikpeazu faulted the Appeal Court's judgment, saying that it was untenable and would be challenged at the Supreme Court.

The Abia governor said that he had directed his lawyers to take immediate steps to challenge the judgment at the Supreme Court. \"I wish to state at this point that preliminary reports available to me indicate that the premise upon which the decision of the Court of Appeal was arrived at was at best tenuous,\" he said.

The governor said that in going to the Supreme Court he has \"utmost confidence in the ability of the justices to correct the anomaly at the Court of Appeal and uphold my victory as had been done earlier by the Election Petitions Tribunal\".

Ikpeazu said though he was yet to get a full briefing on the reason the Appeal Court nullified his election, his lawyers were still at Owerri doing everything possible to obtain a copy of the judgment.

\"The next four days are public holidays and the timing of the judgment means that we are losing valuable days to study the judgment and file our appeal,\" he said.

Ikpeazu assured residents of Abia that his status as governor had not changed, adding that all was well. \"I remain the governor of Abia State until the Supreme Court reaffirms my mandate freely given to me by Abians during the election,\" he said.

To avoid a breakdown of law and order, Ikpeazu called on security agencies to maintain the peace and ensure that people go about their legitimate businesses without disruption.

Nigeria: Appeal Court Affirms Otti, Ishaku Duly Elected Governors of Abia, Taraba

By Senator Iroegbu in Abuja, Wole Ayodele in Jalingo and Emmanuel Ugwu in Umuahia

The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja and Owerri on Thursday affirmed Mr. Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Mr. Alex Otti of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as winners of the April 11 governorship elections in Taraba and Abia States, respectively.

The Abuja appellate court, in its judgment, set aside the decision of the state Election Petitions Tribunal, which sacked the Taraba governor from office based on pre-election matters.

Delivering judgment on the three appeals and cross-appeal that emanated from the judgment of the tribunal, which sat in Abuja because of security concerns in the North-east, a five-member panel of justices headed by Justice Abdul Aboki set aside the ruling of the tribunal.

Justice Aboki, who read the unanimous judgment, held that it was a gross misdirection for the tribunal to have declared the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mrs. Aisha Jumai Alhassan, also known as \"Mama Taraba\", winner of the gubernatorial poll on the basis that she scored the second highest number of votes in the election.

The court also held that from the evidence of witnesses to the petitioners before the tribunal, Ishaku was validly elected and sponsored by his party, the PDP, to vie for the governorship seat of the state in accordance with the constitution, the Electoral Act and in accordance with the election guidelines as laid down by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). \"Therefore the judgment of the Taraba State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal is hereby declared null, void and set aside in its entirety.

\"The appellant's appeal is meritorious and is hereby allowed,\" Justice Aboki held. The judge went further to affirm \"Darius Dickson Ishaku as the dully elected governor of Taraba State\". According to the court, APC and its governorship candidate, who were the first and second respondents in the appeal, had no locus standi under the law to challenge the primary election of the PDP, which produced Ishaku as its candidate for the election as none of them is a member of the PDP.

It also held that INEC superintends the activities of political parties and if there was any breach or failure of the PDP to give the electoral body 21 days notice of its primary as alleged, it should not have been the headache of the APC and its governorship candidate, adding that the only person that could have complained of the conduct of a party's primary election was the person who participated in the said primary election and INEC.

According to the court, the Electoral Act specifies the procedures for the election and sponsorship of a candidate by a political party and that the right to complain is limited to participants in the primary election.

The Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar-led tribunal, had in a petition filed by APC and Alhassan, held that the purported nomination of the governorship candidate by PDP breached Section 85 of the Electoral Act and ordered Ishaku to vacate his office.

Justice Abubakar had in a judgment ordered that Alhassan be sworn in as governor because the PDP did not conduct a valid primary that threw Ishaku up as its standard-bearer.

The tribunal however held that the APC governorship candidate could not adequately prove her allegation of \"over-voting, irregularities, and non-compliance with the Electoral Act 2010\".

Dissatisfied with the judgment, Ishaku filed an appeal, asking the appellate court to set aside the judgment of the tribunal. Reacting to the appellate court's ruling yesterday, Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, was thrown into jubilation, as residents marched through major streets of the town in celebration of the judgment.

Residents in their thousands took to the streets, particularly around Hammaruwa Way, ATC, Mile 6 and Magami in motorcades and moved round the town singing and dancing.

Traffic was obstructed and halted for several hours in the town as the convoy, which included women and children, and was carrying large loudspeakers obstructed the flow of traffic along the major roads.

Enyetere Ambituni, one of the jubilant residents, told THISDAY that the judiciary proved once again to be the last hope of the common man and had vindicated the majority of the people of the state who overwhelmingly voted for Ishaku as their governor.

According to him, \"We are celebrating today because the judiciary has once again shown that it is the last hope of the oppressed. The people of Taraba who overwhelmingly voted Ishaku as their governor have been vindicated.\"

In Owerri, the Appeal Court also nullified the election of the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, and declared the governorship candidate of APGA, Otti, as the winner of the governorship election conducted in April. Otti had gone to the appeal court to challenge the verdict of the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal which upheld the election of Ikpeazu.

Just like he did at the tribunal, the APGA candidate contested the controversial results from Obingwa, Osisioma and Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Areas that the returning officer cancelled and later reversed. However, the results from the three local governments turned out to be the determinant in the Appeal Court's judgment delivered by Justice Oyebisi Omoleye.

The five-member panel unanimously agreed that the controversial results should not have been included in the final results and therefore cancelled them and after doing the mathematics, held that Otti scored the highest number of valid votes. In the governorship poll, Ikpeazu had emerged winner with 264,713 as against 180,882 votes credited to Otti by INEC which was affirmed by the tribunal.

But after subtracting the scores of the candidates in the three council areas, the appeal panel held that Otti scored a total of 164,332 votes as against 114,444 obtained by Ikpeazu.

Accordingly, Justice Omoleye held that the APGA candidate was duly elected and should be sworn in as governor of Abia State. Expectedly, when the news of Otti's victory at the appeal court filtered into Umuahia, the capital, there were wild jubilations by supporters of APGA. Scores of jubilant party supporters mounted tricycles and drove along major streets of the capital city waving party flags, singing and praising Otti for his tenacity.

However, the ruling by the appellate court did not go down well with Ikpeazu, whose aide said that the governor would \"definitely challenge the ruling at the Supreme Court\".

Also addressing the press yesterday in Umuahia, Ikpeazu faulted the Appeal Court's judgment, saying that it was untenable and would be challenged at the Supreme Court.

The Abia governor said that he had directed his lawyers to take immediate steps to challenge the judgment at the Supreme Court. \"I wish to state at this point that preliminary reports available to me indicate that the premise upon which the decision of the Court of Appeal was arrived at was at best tenuous,\" he said.

The governor said that in going to the Supreme Court he has \"utmost confidence in the ability of the justices to correct the anomaly at the Court of Appeal and uphold my victory as had been done earlier by the Election Petitions Tribunal\".

Ikpeazu said though he was yet to get a full briefing on the reason the Appeal Court nullified his election, his lawyers were still at Owerri doing everything possible to obtain a copy of the judgment.

\"The next four days are public holidays and the timing of the judgment means that we are losing valuable days to study the judgment and file our appeal,\" he said.

Ikpeazu assured residents of Abia that his status as governor had not changed, adding that all was well. \"I remain the governor of Abia State until the Supreme Court reaffirms my mandate freely given to me by Abians during the election,\" he said.

To avoid a breakdown of law and order, Ikpeazu called on security agencies to maintain the peace and ensure that people go about their legitimate businesses without disruption.

By Senator Iroegbu in Abuja, Wole Ayodele in Jalingo and Emmanuel Ugwu in Umuahia

The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja and Owerri on Thursday affirmed Mr. Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Mr. Alex Otti of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as winners of the April 11 governorship elections in Taraba and Abia States, respectively.

The Abuja appellate court, in its judgment, set aside the decision of the state Election Petitions Tribunal, which sacked the Taraba governor from office based on pre-election matters.

Delivering judgment on the three appeals and cross-appeal that emanated from the judgment of the tribunal, which sat in Abuja because of security concerns in the North-east, a five-member panel of justices headed by Justice Abdul Aboki set aside the ruling of the tribunal.

Justice Aboki, who read the unanimous judgment, held that it was a gross misdirection for the tribunal to have declared the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mrs. Aisha Jumai Alhassan, also known as \"Mama Taraba\", winner of the gubernatorial poll on the basis that she scored the second highest number of votes in the election.

The court also held that from the evidence of witnesses to the petitioners before the tribunal, Ishaku was validly elected and sponsored by his party, the PDP, to vie for the governorship seat of the state in accordance with the constitution, the Electoral Act and in accordance with the election guidelines as laid down by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). \"Therefore the judgment of the Taraba State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal is hereby declared null, void and set aside in its entirety.

\"The appellant's appeal is meritorious and is hereby allowed,\" Justice Aboki held. The judge went further to affirm \"Darius Dickson Ishaku as the dully elected governor of Taraba State\". According to the court, APC and its governorship candidate, who were the first and second respondents in the appeal, had no locus standi under the law to challenge the primary election of the PDP, which produced Ishaku as its candidate for the election as none of them is a member of the PDP.

It also held that INEC superintends the activities of political parties and if there was any breach or failure of the PDP to give the electoral body 21 days notice of its primary as alleged, it should not have been the headache of the APC and its governorship candidate, adding that the only person that could have complained of the conduct of a party's primary election was the person who participated in the said primary election and INEC.

According to the court, the Electoral Act specifies the procedures for the election and sponsorship of a candidate by a political party and that the right to complain is limited to participants in the primary election.

The Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar-led tribunal, had in a petition filed by APC and Alhassan, held that the purported nomination of the governorship candidate by PDP breached Section 85 of the Electoral Act and ordered Ishaku to vacate his office.

Justice Abubakar had in a judgment ordered that Alhassan be sworn in as governor because the PDP did not conduct a valid primary that threw Ishaku up as its standard-bearer.

The tribunal however held that the APC governorship candidate could not adequately prove her allegation of \"over-voting, irregularities, and non-compliance with the Electoral Act 2010\".

Dissatisfied with the judgment, Ishaku filed an appeal, asking the appellate court to set aside the judgment of the tribunal. Reacting to the appellate court's ruling yesterday, Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, was thrown into jubilation, as residents marched through major streets of the town in celebration of the judgment.

Residents in their thousands took to the streets, particularly around Hammaruwa Way, ATC, Mile 6 and Magami in motorcades and moved round the town singing and dancing.

Traffic was obstructed and halted for several hours in the town as the convoy, which included women and children, and was carrying large loudspeakers obstructed the flow of traffic along the major roads.

Enyetere Ambituni, one of the jubilant residents, told THISDAY that the judiciary proved once again to be the last hope of the common man and had vindicated the majority of the people of the state who overwhelmingly voted for Ishaku as their governor.

According to him, \"We are celebrating today because the judiciary has once again shown that it is the last hope of the oppressed. The people of Taraba who overwhelmingly voted Ishaku as their governor have been vindicated.\"

In Owerri, the Appeal Court also nullified the election of the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, and declared the governorship candidate of APGA, Otti, as the winner of the governorship election conducted in April. Otti had gone to the appeal court to challenge the verdict of the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal which upheld the election of Ikpeazu.

Just like he did at the tribunal, the APGA candidate contested the controversial results from Obingwa, Osisioma and Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Areas that the returning officer cancelled and later reversed. However, the results from the three local governments turned out to be the determinant in the Appeal Court's judgment delivered by Justice Oyebisi Omoleye.

The five-member panel unanimously agreed that the controversial results should not have been included in the final results and therefore cancelled them and after doing the mathematics, held that Otti scored the highest number of valid votes. In the governorship poll, Ikpeazu had emerged winner with 264,713 as against 180,882 votes credited to Otti by INEC which was affirmed by the tribunal.

But after subtracting the scores of the candidates in the three council areas, the appeal panel held that Otti scored a total of 164,332 votes as against 114,444 obtained by Ikpeazu.

Accordingly, Justice Omoleye held that the APGA candidate was duly elected and should be sworn in as governor of Abia State. Expectedly, when the news of Otti's victory at the appeal court filtered into Umuahia, the capital, there were wild jubilations by supporters of APGA. Scores of jubilant party supporters mounted tricycles and drove along major streets of the capital city waving party flags, singing and praising Otti for his tenacity.

However, the ruling by the appellate court did not go down well with Ikpeazu, whose aide said that the governor would \"definitely challenge the ruling at the Supreme Court\".

Also addressing the press yesterday in Umuahia, Ikpeazu faulted the Appeal Court's judgment, saying that it was untenable and would be challenged at the Supreme Court.

The Abia governor said that he had directed his lawyers to take immediate steps to challenge the judgment at the Supreme Court. \"I wish to state at this point that preliminary reports available to me indicate that the premise upon which the decision of the Court of Appeal was arrived at was at best tenuous,\" he said.

The governor said that in going to the Supreme Court he has \"utmost confidence in the ability of the justices to correct the anomaly at the Court of Appeal and uphold my victory as had been done earlier by the Election Petitions Tribunal\".

Ikpeazu said though he was yet to get a full briefing on the reason the Appeal Court nullified his election, his lawyers were still at Owerri doing everything possible to obtain a copy of the judgment.

\"The next four days are public holidays and the timing of the judgment means that we are losing valuable days to study the judgment and file our appeal,\" he said.

Ikpeazu assured residents of Abia that his status as governor had not changed, adding that all was well. \"I remain the governor of Abia State until the Supreme Court reaffirms my mandate freely given to me by Abians during the election,\" he said.

To avoid a breakdown of law and order, Ikpeazu called on security agencies to maintain the peace and ensure that people go about their legitimate businesses without disruption.

\n \n By Senator Iroegbu in Abuja, Wole Ayodele in Jalingo and Emmanuel Ugwu in Umuahia\n \n

\n The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja and Owerri on Thursday affirmed Mr. Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Mr. Alex Otti of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as winners of the April 11 governorship elections in Taraba and Abia States, respectively.\n

\n

\n The Abuja appellate court, in its judgment, set aside the decision of the state Election Petitions Tribunal, which sacked the Taraba governor from office based on pre-election matters.\n

\n

\n Delivering judgment on the three appeals and cross-appeal that emanated from the judgment of the tribunal, which sat in Abuja because of security concerns in the North-east, a five-member panel of justices headed by Justice Abdul Aboki set aside the ruling of the tribunal.\n

\n

\n Justice Aboki, who read the unanimous judgment, held that it was a gross misdirection for the tribunal to have declared the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mrs. Aisha Jumai Alhassan, also known as \"Mama Taraba\", winner of the gubernatorial poll on the basis that she scored the second highest number of votes in the election.\n

\n

\n The court also held that from the evidence of witnesses to the petitioners before the tribunal, Ishaku was validly elected and sponsored by his party, the PDP, to vie for the governorship seat of the state in accordance with the constitution, the Electoral Act and in accordance with the election guidelines as laid down by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). \"Therefore the judgment of the Taraba State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal is hereby declared null, void and set aside in its entirety.\n

\n

\n \"The appellant's appeal is meritorious and is hereby allowed,\" Justice Aboki held. The judge went further to affirm \"Darius Dickson Ishaku as the dully elected governor of Taraba State\". According to the court, APC and its governorship candidate, who were the first and second respondents in the appeal, had no locus standi under the law to challenge the primary election of the PDP, which produced Ishaku as its candidate for the election as none of them is a member of the PDP.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n It also held that INEC superintends the activities of political parties and if there was any breach or failure of the PDP to give the electoral body 21 days notice of its primary as alleged, it should not have been the headache of the APC and its governorship candidate, adding that the only person that could have complained of the conduct of a party's primary election was the person who participated in the said primary election and INEC.\n

\n

\n According to the court, the Electoral Act specifies the procedures for the election and sponsorship of a candidate by a political party and that the right to complain is limited to participants in the primary election.\n

\n

\n The Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar-led tribunal, had in a petition filed by APC and Alhassan, held that the purported nomination of the governorship candidate by PDP breached Section 85 of the Electoral Act and ordered Ishaku to vacate his office.\n

\n

\n Justice Abubakar had in a judgment ordered that Alhassan be sworn in as governor because the PDP did not conduct a valid primary that threw Ishaku up as its standard-bearer.\n

\n

\n The tribunal however held that the APC governorship candidate could not adequately prove her allegation of \"over-voting, irregularities, and non-compliance with the Electoral Act 2010\".\n

\n

\n Dissatisfied with the judgment, Ishaku filed an appeal, asking the appellate court to set aside the judgment of the tribunal. Reacting to the appellate court's ruling yesterday, Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, was thrown into jubilation, as residents marched through major streets of the town in celebration of the judgment.\n

\n

\n Residents in their thousands took to the streets, particularly around Hammaruwa Way, ATC, Mile 6 and Magami in motorcades and moved round the town singing and dancing.\n

\n

\n Traffic was obstructed and halted for several hours in the town as the convoy, which included women and children, and was carrying large loudspeakers obstructed the flow of traffic along the major roads.\n

\n
\n
\n

\n \n
\n \n

\n Enyetere Ambituni, one of the jubilant residents, told THISDAY that the judiciary proved once again to be the last hope of the common man and had vindicated the majority of the people of the state who overwhelmingly voted for Ishaku as their governor.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n According to him, \"We are celebrating today because the judiciary has once again shown that it is the last hope of the oppressed. The people of Taraba who overwhelmingly voted Ishaku as their governor have been vindicated.\"\n

\n

\n In Owerri, the Appeal Court also nullified the election of the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, and declared the governorship candidate of APGA, Otti, as the winner of the governorship election conducted in April. Otti had gone to the appeal court to challenge the verdict of the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal which upheld the election of Ikpeazu.\n

\n

\n Just like he did at the tribunal, the APGA candidate contested the controversial results from Obingwa, Osisioma and Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Areas that the returning officer cancelled and later reversed. However, the results from the three local governments turned out to be the determinant in the Appeal Court's judgment delivered by Justice Oyebisi Omoleye.\n

\n

\n The five-member panel unanimously agreed that the controversial results should not have been included in the final results and therefore cancelled them and after doing the mathematics, held that Otti scored the highest number of valid votes. In the governorship poll, Ikpeazu had emerged winner with 264,713 as against 180,882 votes credited to Otti by INEC which was affirmed by the tribunal.\n

\n

\n But after subtracting the scores of the candidates in the three council areas, the appeal panel held that Otti scored a total of 164,332 votes as against 114,444 obtained by Ikpeazu.\n

\n

\n Accordingly, Justice Omoleye held that the APGA candidate was duly elected and should be sworn in as governor of Abia State. Expectedly, when the news of Otti's victory at the appeal court filtered into Umuahia, the capital, there were wild jubilations by supporters of APGA. Scores of jubilant party supporters mounted tricycles and drove along major streets of the capital city waving party flags, singing and praising Otti for his tenacity.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n However, the ruling by the appellate court did not go down well with Ikpeazu, whose aide said that the governor would \"definitely challenge the ruling at the Supreme Court\".\n

\n

\n Also addressing the press yesterday in Umuahia, Ikpeazu faulted the Appeal Court's judgment, saying that it was untenable and would be challenged at the Supreme Court.\n

\n

\n The Abia governor said that he had directed his lawyers to take immediate steps to challenge the judgment at the Supreme Court. \"I wish to state at this point that preliminary reports available to me indicate that the premise upon which the decision of the Court of Appeal was arrived at was at best tenuous,\" he said.\n

\n

\n The governor said that in going to the Supreme Court he has \"utmost confidence in the ability of the justices to correct the anomaly at the Court of Appeal and uphold my victory as had been done earlier by the Election Petitions Tribunal\".\n

\n

\n Ikpeazu said though he was yet to get a full briefing on the reason the Appeal Court nullified his election, his lawyers were still at Owerri doing everything possible to obtain a copy of the judgment.\n

\n

\n \"The next four days are public holidays and the timing of the judgment means that we are losing valuable days to study the judgment and file our appeal,\" he said.\n

\n

\n Ikpeazu assured residents of Abia that his status as governor had not changed, adding that all was well. \"I remain the governor of Abia State until the Supreme Court reaffirms my mandate freely given to me by Abians during the election,\" he said.\n

\n

\n To avoid a breakdown of law and order, Ikpeazu called on security agencies to maintain the peace and ensure that people go about their legitimate businesses without disruption.\n

The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.

The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Augustine Ukwuoma, on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo.

The statue, made of marble, is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt.

Mr. Ukwuoma performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday.

One Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue, had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012.

The unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Mr. Obinna, Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha.

Mr. Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Mr. Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church.

\"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us.

\"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said.

Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society.

\"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity.

Mr. Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997.

\"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith.

\"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said.

Mr. Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"It took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\"

Nigeria: Tallest Jesus Statue in Africa Unveiled in Imo

Premium Times

The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.

The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Augustine Ukwuoma, on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo.

The statue, made of marble, is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt.

Mr. Ukwuoma performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday.

One Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue, had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012.

The unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Mr. Obinna, Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha.

Mr. Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Mr. Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church.

\"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us.

\"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said.

Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society.

\"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity.

Mr. Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997.

\"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith.

\"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said.

Mr. Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"It took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\"

The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.

The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Augustine Ukwuoma, on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo.

The statue, made of marble, is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt.

Mr. Ukwuoma performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday.

One Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue, had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012.

The unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Mr. Obinna, Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha.

Mr. Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Mr. Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church.

\"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us.

\"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said.

Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society.

\"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity.

Mr. Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997.

\"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith.

\"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said.

Mr. Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"It took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\"

\n The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.\n
\n
\n

\n The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Augustine Ukwuoma, on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo.\n

\n

\n The statue, made of marble, is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt.\n

\n

\n Mr. Ukwuoma performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday.\n

\n

\n One Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue, had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n The unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Mr. Obinna, Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha.\n

\n

\n Mr. Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Mr. Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church.\n

\n

\n \"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us.\n

\n

\n \"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society.\n

\n

\n \"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n Mr. Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997.\n

\n

\n \"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith.\n

\n

\n \"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said.\n

\n

\n Mr. Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"It took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\"\n

The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.

Nigeria, yesterday, unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa.

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes.

More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in Imo State, Southeastern Nigeria.

It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012.

In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike.

\"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma.

The cost of the statue has not been revealed.

Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be \"the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent.\"

The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary.

Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension.

More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north.

And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been \"technically\" won.

\"We think religions can exist side by side,\" Onuoha said. \"We hope that people can live in harmony.\"

He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago.

And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived.

Nigeria: Nine-Metre Tall Statue of Jesus Christ Unveiled in Imo

Premium Times

The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.

Nigeria, yesterday, unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa.

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes.

More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in Imo State, Southeastern Nigeria.

It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012.

In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike.

\"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma.

The cost of the statue has not been revealed.

Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be \"the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent.\"

The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary.

Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension.

More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north.

And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been \"technically\" won.

\"We think religions can exist side by side,\" Onuoha said. \"We hope that people can live in harmony.\"

He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago.

And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived.

The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.

Nigeria, yesterday, unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa.

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes.

More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in Imo State, Southeastern Nigeria.

It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012.

In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike.

\"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma.

The cost of the statue has not been revealed.

Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be \"the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent.\"

The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary.

Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension.

More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north.

And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been \"technically\" won.

\"We think religions can exist side by side,\" Onuoha said. \"We hope that people can live in harmony.\"

He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago.

And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived.

\n More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north.\n

\n

The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.

Nigeria on Friday unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa.

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes.

More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in southeastern Nigeria.

It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012.

In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike.

\"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma.

The cost of the statue has not been revealed.

Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be \"the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent.\"

The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary.

Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension.

More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north.

And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been \"technically\" won.

\"We think religions can exist side by side,\" Onuoha said. \"We hope that people can live in harmony.\"

He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago.

And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived.

Nigeria: 'Africa's Biggest Jesus Statue' Unveiled in Nigeria

Premium Times

The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.

Nigeria on Friday unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa.

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes.

More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in southeastern Nigeria.

It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012.

In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike.

\"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma.

The cost of the statue has not been revealed.

Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be \"the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent.\"

The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary.

Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension.

More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north.

And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been \"technically\" won.

\"We think religions can exist side by side,\" Onuoha said. \"We hope that people can live in harmony.\"

He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago.

And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived.

Nigeria on Friday unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa.

Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes.

More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in southeastern Nigeria.

It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012.

In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike.

\"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma.

\n The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.\n
\n
\n

\n Nigeria on Friday unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa.\n

\n

\n Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs in at 40 tonnes.\n

\n

\n More than 100 priests and hundreds of Catholic worshippers attended the nine-metre (30-foot) statue's official unveiling in the village of Abajah in southeastern Nigeria.\n

\n

\n It was commissioned by Obinna Onuoha, a local businessman who hired a Chinese company to carve it and placed it in the grounds of a 2000-capacity church that he built in 2012.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n In his homily at a Mass before unveiling the statue, presiding bishop Augustine Tochukwu Okwuoma said it would be a \"very great symbol of faith\" for Catholic worshippers and passers-by alike.\n

\n

\n \"It will remind them of the importance of Jesus Christ,\" said Okwuoma.\n

\n

\n The cost of the statue has not been revealed.\n

\n

\n Earlier in the week, Onuoha told AFP it would be \"the biggest statue of Jesus on the continent.\"\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n The 43-year-old boss of an oil and gas distribution company timed the statue's unveiling to coincide with his parents' 50th wedding anniversary.\n

\n

\n Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with 170 million people, is split between a more prosperous Christian south and a poor Muslim north -- an occasional source of tension.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n More than 17,000 people have been killed in Islamist group Boko Haram's six-year quest to create an independent state but the violence has been mainly confined to Nigeria's Muslim-majority north.\n

\n

\n And even as Nigeria rings in 2016, the ever-present threat of violence by Boko Haram hangs heavy over the country, despite official claims that the battle against the Islamist group has been \"technically\" won.\n

\n

\n \"We think religions can exist side by side,\" Onuoha said. \"We hope that people can live in harmony.\"\n

\n

\n He said the idea of building a giant statue of Jesus came to him in a dream nearly 20 years ago.\n

\n

\n And when his 68-year-old mother fell seriously ill a few years ago, she made him promise that he would build a church if she survived.\n

By Isiaka Wakili

The Presidency has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has not banned the use of hijab which it describes as Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said this in a statement on Friday.

President Buhari had said on Wednesday during the presidential media chat that \"Hijab would have to be banned if suicide bombing continues.\"

But his spokesman yesterday, while clarifying the pronouncement, described as unfounded, the speculation that the Federal Government had banned the use of hijab.

He said that Buhari's administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom as it affects everyone.

Shehu, however, admitted that hijab was being abused by Boko Haram terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people.

According to the presidential aide, this violates the teachings of Islam.

Shehu stressed that the president would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.

He said: \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution.\"

He also emphasised that the increasing abuse of the \"hijabby terrorists\" to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities was a reality.

Shehu added that Buhari's government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution\".

Nigeria: Presidency - Buhari Has Not Banned Hijab

By Isiaka Wakili

The Presidency has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has not banned the use of hijab which it describes as Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said this in a statement on Friday.

President Buhari had said on Wednesday during the presidential media chat that \"Hijab would have to be banned if suicide bombing continues.\"

But his spokesman yesterday, while clarifying the pronouncement, described as unfounded, the speculation that the Federal Government had banned the use of hijab.

He said that Buhari's administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom as it affects everyone.

Shehu, however, admitted that hijab was being abused by Boko Haram terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people.

According to the presidential aide, this violates the teachings of Islam.

Shehu stressed that the president would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.

He said: \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution.\"

He also emphasised that the increasing abuse of the \"hijabby terrorists\" to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities was a reality.

Shehu added that Buhari's government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution\".

The Presidency has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has not banned the use of hijab which it describes as Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said this in a statement on Friday.

President Buhari had said on Wednesday during the presidential media chat that \"Hijab would have to be banned if suicide bombing continues.\"

But his spokesman yesterday, while clarifying the pronouncement, described as unfounded, the speculation that the Federal Government had banned the use of hijab.

He said that Buhari's administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom as it affects everyone.

Shehu, however, admitted that hijab was being abused by Boko Haram terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people.

According to the presidential aide, this violates the teachings of Islam.

Shehu stressed that the president would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.

He said: \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution.\"

He also emphasised that the increasing abuse of the \"hijabby terrorists\" to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities was a reality.

Shehu added that Buhari's government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution\".

By Tobi Soniyi in Abuja

The Presidency has denied insinuations that the Buhari administration has banned Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing style in which most of the body, including part or all of the face, is covered, said to be a symbol of modesty.

Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President during Wednesday's media chat, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, on Friday in Abuja said the speculation was unfounded, and that the Buhari administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom

While admitting that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which he said violated the teachings of Islam, Shehu explained that the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.

\"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" the statement said.

According to him, the increasing abuse of the Hijab by terrorists to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities is a reality, and that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.

Nigeria: No Ban On Hijab, Says Presidency

By Tobi Soniyi in Abuja

The Presidency has denied insinuations that the Buhari administration has banned Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing style in which most of the body, including part or all of the face, is covered, said to be a symbol of modesty.

Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President during Wednesday's media chat, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, on Friday in Abuja said the speculation was unfounded, and that the Buhari administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom

While admitting that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which he said violated the teachings of Islam, Shehu explained that the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.

\"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" the statement said.

According to him, the increasing abuse of the Hijab by terrorists to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities is a reality, and that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.

\n The Presidency has denied insinuations that the Buhari administration has banned Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing style in which most of the body, including part or all of the face, is covered, said to be a symbol of modesty.\n

\n

\n Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President during Wednesday's media chat, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, on Friday in Abuja said the speculation was unfounded, and that the Buhari administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom\n

\n

\n While admitting that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which he said violated the teachings of Islam, Shehu explained that the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.\n

\n
\n
\n

\n \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" the statement said.\n

\n

\n According to him, the increasing abuse of the Hijab by terrorists to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities is a reality, and that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.\n

The Presidency has dismissed the insinuations that the Federal Government had banned the use of Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.

This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Malam Garba Shehu.

Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President on the issue during last Wednesday's Presidential Media Chat, Shehu said that the speculations were unfounded.

He said that the Buhari-led Federal Government would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom.

Shehu said that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violated the teachings of Islam.

He, however, said that Buhari would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.

He said that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.

\"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" he said.

Nigeria: No Ban On Hijab By Muslim Women - Presidency

The Presidency has dismissed the insinuations that the Federal Government had banned the use of Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.

This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Malam Garba Shehu.

Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President on the issue during last Wednesday's Presidential Media Chat, Shehu said that the speculations were unfounded.

He said that the Buhari-led Federal Government would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom.

Shehu said that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violated the teachings of Islam.

He, however, said that Buhari would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.

He said that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.

\"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" he said.

\n The Presidency has dismissed the insinuations that the Federal Government had banned the use of Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.\n

\n

\n This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Malam Garba Shehu.\n

\n

\n Giving a clarification on the pronouncement of the President on the issue during last Wednesday's Presidential Media Chat, Shehu said that the speculations were unfounded.\n

\n

\n He said that the Buhari-led Federal Government would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n Shehu said that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violated the teachings of Islam.\n

\n

\n He, however, said that Buhari would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.\n

\n

\n He said that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.\n

\n

\n \"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" he said.\n

President Muhammadu Buhari says his government will do all within its powers in making the best efforts to free the over 200 abducted Chibok schoolgirls from the captivity of the Boko Haram sect.

The president was speaking at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja yesterday while receiving him the Women In Politics Forum (WIPF).

The girls were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, on April 14, 2014.

President Buhari had Wednesday during the presidential media chat said there was no credible intelligence report on the whereabouts and the condition of the missing girls.

But the president assured Friday that the fight for the return of the abducted schoolgirls was ongoing and \"continues to be a most worrying issue\" to his administration.

Buhari also disclosed that a committee to rehabilitate the infrastructure in the northeast and resettle the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) would soon be formally inaugurated.

The president said the committee, to be headed by former Defence Minister General Theophilus Danjuma (rtd), would also include Aliko Dangote, saying local and foreign assistance received will be channelled through the committee.

Buhari said he had compiled a list of damaged infrastructure including schools and bridges and handed them to the leaders of the G7 countries and the United States.

\"I didn't ask for a kobo (in cash). It is up to them to choose what they will undertake. Already, some of them have sent teams to verify our assertions\", he said.

The president lamented the effects of the activities of the Boko Haram terrorist group on women and children who he described as the worst-hit victims of the insurgency.

\"In the north-east, what I saw for myself and on those clips is a source of concern for people with conscience. They (victims) are mostly women and children who are orphaned. Some of them don't even know where they come from. This is the pathetic situation in which the country has found itself\", he said.

While acknowledging the case made by the WIPF for a better representation of women in his government, Buhari assured that women would \"fare well\" in the composition of federal parastatals and their boards in the first quarter of this year.

On the allegation of slowness against his administration, President Buhari maintained that steps must taken with caution in order to avoid mistakes.

\"People say we are slow. We are trying to change the structures put in place by our predecessors in office for 16 years. If we hurry it, we will make mistakes. That will be a disaster\", he said.

The president described the 2016 budget proposal as good for employment and manufacturing, saying \"By the end of the second quarter, the full impact of these positive measures will be felt\".

Earlier, the WIPF, comprising women leaders from 26 registered political parties and led by Ebere Ifendu of the Labour Party, had declared support for the federal government's war against corruption and insecurity.

The forum, which sought laws that would promote gender equity, also urged action on the implementation of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act.

A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said the WIPF made the record of being the first organisation to be received by Buhari in the new year.

Nigeria: Buhari - I Will Rescue Chibok Girls

President Muhammadu Buhari says his government will do all within its powers in making the best efforts to free the over 200 abducted Chibok schoolgirls from the captivity of the Boko Haram sect.

The president was speaking at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja yesterday while receiving him the Women In Politics Forum (WIPF).

The girls were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, on April 14, 2014.

President Buhari had Wednesday during the presidential media chat said there was no credible intelligence report on the whereabouts and the condition of the missing girls.

But the president assured Friday that the fight for the return of the abducted schoolgirls was ongoing and \"continues to be a most worrying issue\" to his administration.

Buhari also disclosed that a committee to rehabilitate the infrastructure in the northeast and resettle the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) would soon be formally inaugurated.

The president said the committee, to be headed by former Defence Minister General Theophilus Danjuma (rtd), would also include Aliko Dangote, saying local and foreign assistance received will be channelled through the committee.

Buhari said he had compiled a list of damaged infrastructure including schools and bridges and handed them to the leaders of the G7 countries and the United States.

\"I didn't ask for a kobo (in cash). It is up to them to choose what they will undertake. Already, some of them have sent teams to verify our assertions\", he said.

The president lamented the effects of the activities of the Boko Haram terrorist group on women and children who he described as the worst-hit victims of the insurgency.

\"In the north-east, what I saw for myself and on those clips is a source of concern for people with conscience. They (victims) are mostly women and children who are orphaned. Some of them don't even know where they come from. This is the pathetic situation in which the country has found itself\", he said.

While acknowledging the case made by the WIPF for a better representation of women in his government, Buhari assured that women would \"fare well\" in the composition of federal parastatals and their boards in the first quarter of this year.

On the allegation of slowness against his administration, President Buhari maintained that steps must taken with caution in order to avoid mistakes.

\"People say we are slow. We are trying to change the structures put in place by our predecessors in office for 16 years. If we hurry it, we will make mistakes. That will be a disaster\", he said.

The president described the 2016 budget proposal as good for employment and manufacturing, saying \"By the end of the second quarter, the full impact of these positive measures will be felt\".

Earlier, the WIPF, comprising women leaders from 26 registered political parties and led by Ebere Ifendu of the Labour Party, had declared support for the federal government's war against corruption and insecurity.

The forum, which sought laws that would promote gender equity, also urged action on the implementation of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act.

A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said the WIPF made the record of being the first organisation to be received by Buhari in the new year.

President Muhammadu Buhari says his government will do all within its powers in making the best efforts to free the over 200 abducted Chibok schoolgirls from the captivity of the Boko Haram sect.

The president was speaking at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja yesterday while receiving him the Women In Politics Forum (WIPF).

The girls were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, on April 14, 2014.

President Buhari had Wednesday during the presidential media chat said there was no credible intelligence report on the whereabouts and the condition of the missing girls.

But the president assured Friday that the fight for the return of the abducted schoolgirls was ongoing and \"continues to be a most worrying issue\" to his administration.

Buhari also disclosed that a committee to rehabilitate the infrastructure in the northeast and resettle the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) would soon be formally inaugurated.

The president said the committee, to be headed by former Defence Minister General Theophilus Danjuma (rtd), would also include Aliko Dangote, saying local and foreign assistance received will be channelled through the committee.

Buhari said he had compiled a list of damaged infrastructure including schools and bridges and handed them to the leaders of the G7 countries and the United States.

\"I didn't ask for a kobo (in cash). It is up to them to choose what they will undertake. Already, some of them have sent teams to verify our assertions\", he said.

The president lamented the effects of the activities of the Boko Haram terrorist group on women and children who he described as the worst-hit victims of the insurgency.

\"In the north-east, what I saw for myself and on those clips is a source of concern for people with conscience. They (victims) are mostly women and children who are orphaned. Some of them don't even know where they come from. This is the pathetic situation in which the country has found itself\", he said.

While acknowledging the case made by the WIPF for a better representation of women in his government, Buhari assured that women would \"fare well\" in the composition of federal parastatals and their boards in the first quarter of this year.

On the allegation of slowness against his administration, President Buhari maintained that steps must taken with caution in order to avoid mistakes.

\"People say we are slow. We are trying to change the structures put in place by our predecessors in office for 16 years. If we hurry it, we will make mistakes. That will be a disaster\", he said.

The president described the 2016 budget proposal as good for employment and manufacturing, saying \"By the end of the second quarter, the full impact of these positive measures will be felt\".

Earlier, the WIPF, comprising women leaders from 26 registered political parties and led by Ebere Ifendu of the Labour Party, had declared support for the federal government's war against corruption and insecurity.

The forum, which sought laws that would promote gender equity, also urged action on the implementation of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act.

A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said the WIPF made the record of being the first organisation to be received by Buhari in the new year.

\n President Muhammadu Buhari says his government will do all within its powers in making the best efforts to free the over 200 abducted Chibok schoolgirls from the captivity of the Boko Haram sect.\n

\n

\n The president was speaking at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja yesterday while receiving him the Women In Politics Forum (WIPF).\n

\n

\n The girls were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, on April 14, 2014.\n

\n

\n President Buhari had Wednesday during the presidential media chat said there was no credible intelligence report on the whereabouts and the condition of the missing girls.\n

\n

\n But the president assured Friday that the fight for the return of the abducted schoolgirls was ongoing and \"continues to be a most worrying issue\" to his administration.\n

\n

\n Buhari also disclosed that a committee to rehabilitate the infrastructure in the northeast and resettle the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) would soon be formally inaugurated.\n

\n

\n The president said the committee, to be headed by former Defence Minister General Theophilus Danjuma (rtd), would also include Aliko Dangote, saying local and foreign assistance received will be channelled through the committee.\n

\n

\n Buhari said he had compiled a list of damaged infrastructure including schools and bridges and handed them to the leaders of the G7 countries and the United States.\n

\n

\n \"I didn't ask for a kobo (in cash). It is up to them to choose what they will undertake. Already, some of them have sent teams to verify our assertions\", he said.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n The president lamented the effects of the activities of the Boko Haram terrorist group on women and children who he described as the worst-hit victims of the insurgency.\n

\n

\n \"In the north-east, what I saw for myself and on those clips is a source of concern for people with conscience. They (victims) are mostly women and children who are orphaned. Some of them don't even know where they come from. This is the pathetic situation in which the country has found itself\", he said.\n

\n

\n While acknowledging the case made by the WIPF for a better representation of women in his government, Buhari assured that women would \"fare well\" in the composition of federal parastatals and their boards in the first quarter of this year.\n

\n

\n On the allegation of slowness against his administration, President Buhari maintained that steps must taken with caution in order to avoid mistakes.\n

\n \"People say we are slow. We are trying to change the structures put in place by our predecessors in office for 16 years. If we hurry it, we will make mistakes. That will be a disaster\", he said.\n

\n

\n The president described the 2016 budget proposal as good for employment and manufacturing, saying \"By the end of the second quarter, the full impact of these positive measures will be felt\".\n

\n

\n Earlier, the WIPF, comprising women leaders from 26 registered political parties and led by Ebere Ifendu of the Labour Party, had declared support for the federal government's war against corruption and insecurity.\n

\n

\n The forum, which sought laws that would promote gender equity, also urged action on the implementation of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act.\n

\n

\n A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said the WIPF made the record of being the first organisation to be received by Buhari in the new year.\n

The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.

The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Most Rev. Augustine Ukwuoma on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo.

The statue made of marble is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt.

Ukwuoma Performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Most Rev. Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Chief Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012.

NAN further reports that the unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Obinna, Chief Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha.

Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church.

\"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us.

\"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said.

Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society.

\"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity.

Chief Obinna Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said that he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997.

\"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith.

\"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said.

Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"it took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\"

Nigeria: Bishop Ukwuoma Unveils Tallest Jesus Statue in Africa

Premium Times

The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.

The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Most Rev. Augustine Ukwuoma on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo.

The statue made of marble is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt.

Ukwuoma Performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Most Rev. Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Chief Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012.

NAN further reports that the unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Obinna, Chief Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha.

Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church.

\"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us.

\"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said.

Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society.

\"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity.

Chief Obinna Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said that he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997.

\"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith.

\"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said.

Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"it took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\"

The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.

The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Most Rev. Augustine Ukwuoma on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo.

The statue made of marble is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt.

Ukwuoma Performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Most Rev. Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Chief Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012.

NAN further reports that the unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Obinna, Chief Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha.

Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church.

\"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us.

\"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said.

Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society.

\"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity.

Chief Obinna Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said that he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997.

\"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith.

\"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said.

Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"it took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\"

\n The Catholic Church in Nigeria has unveiled a nine-metre tall statue of Jesus Christ carved from white marble, thought to be the biggest of its kind in Africa. Standing barefoot with arms outstretched, the \"Jesus de Greatest\" statue weighs 40 tonnes.\n
\n
\n

\n The Bishop of Orlu Catholic Diocese, Most Rev. Augustine Ukwuoma on Friday unveiled the African tallest statue of Jesus Christ weighing 8.5 metres (28 ft) at St. Aloysius Catholic Parish, Abajah, Imo.\n

\n

\n The statue made of marble is bigger than the 20 metres (66 foot) Ramesses ii Abusimbel statue in Egypt.\n

\n

\n Ukwuoma Performed the ceremony shortly after a mass attended by the Bishop Emeritus of Orlu Diocese, Most Rev. Gregory Ochiagha, and more than 100 priests at St. Aloysius Parish Abajah compound on Friday.\n

\n

\n The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Chief Obinna Onuoha, who donated the Jesus statue had constructed 2, 000 seating capacity parish church at St. Aloysius in the year 2012.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n NAN further reports that the unveiling of the statue was used to mark the wedding golden jubilee ceremony of the parents of Obinna, Chief Geoffrey, and Lolo Justina Onuoha.\n

\n

\n Ukwuoma, who described the statue as magnificent, commended the Onuoha family for the gift and their benevolence to the church.\n

\n

\n \"This statue is a great symbol of Christian faith, and I pray that for the Catholics that the statue will continue to constantly remind us of what Jesus Christ stands for us.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n \"For other passersby, looking at the statue will also bring them closer to Jesus,\" the Bishop said.\n

\n

\n Speaking on the golden jubilee, the cleric used the medium to remind marital couples on the need to see marriage as a vocation through which they could positively impact on the society.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n \"God did not call any of us clergy and religious to be fathers and mothers, but those called into this vocation must use it to reflect God's peace, love and unity.\n

\n

\n Chief Obinna Onuoha, the Managing Director of Premier Petroleum Ltd., and the donor of the statue, said that he constructed the statue to fulfill a vow he made to God in the year 1997.\n

\n

\n \"Asking why I constructed this statue is like asking how do I came to this world, I am a Christian and a Catholic and Jesus statue represents my faith.\n

\n

\n \"I believe we are here on earth for different purposes and each person moves with his/her instincts, and I was motivated to do this to build up the faith of this community,\" he said.\n

\n

\n Onuoha, who did not mention the cost of the statue, added, \"it took about three years to construct and erect the Jesus De Saviour statue at Abajah.\"\n

By Mohammed Abubakar

Abuja \u2014 THE Presidency has denied insinuations and rumours that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration was considering a ban on Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.

Giving a clarification on Buhari's pronouncement during the Presidential Media Chat on Wednesday, his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the speculations were unfounded. He addded that the administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom.

Shehu, while admitting that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violates the teachings of Islam, however said the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.

\"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" Shehu said.

He added that the increasing abuse of the Hijab by terrorists to perpetrate criminal activities and other atrocities is a reality, but that government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.

Nigeria: No Ban On Hijab, Presidency Clarifies

By Mohammed Abubakar

Abuja \u2014 THE Presidency has denied insinuations and rumours that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration was considering a ban on Hijab, the Muslim women's dressing symbol of modesty.

Giving a clarification on Buhari's pronouncement during the Presidential Media Chat on Wednesday, his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the speculations were unfounded. He addded that the administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom.

Shehu, while admitting that the Hijab was being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violates the teachings of Islam, however said the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.

\"Everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution,\" Shehu said.

He added that the increasing abuse of the Hijab by terrorists to perpetrate criminal activities and other atrocities is a reality, but that government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution.

Somalian terror group, al-Shabab, has used clips of US presidential candidate Donald Trump in its propaganda film. Trump courted controversy in December when he demanded that all Muslims be barred from entering the US.

The al-Shabab video was distributed on Twitter by the al-Kataib Media Foundation, an Islamist organization.

The terrorists used a clip from Trump's December speech, where he made calls for the United States to bar Muslims from entering the country as his supporters cheered. Many American politicians condemned Trump's statement and said his views could be used as propaganda by militant organizations.

The al-Shabab seemed to have done exactly that. Trump's clip in the 51-minute-long film was sandwiched between clips of militant leader Anwar al-Awlaki saying that Muslims would face a choice between leaving for Islamic countries or staying at home to fight the West, SITE monitoring reported. Al-Awlaki was killed in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011.

The video, confirmed to be genuine by experts, has footage of the US police using force against black people as well as speeches of the African-American activist Malcolm X, who was killed in 1965.

The al-Shabab, an affiliate of the al-Qaida, seeks to overthrow Somalia's government and impose an Islamic regime following a strict version of the Sharia. The organization has carried out many attacks in Kenya and Ethiopia.

Africa: Al-Shabab Uses Trump's Anti-Muslim Tirade to Woo Supporters

Somalian terror group, al-Shabab, has used clips of US presidential candidate Donald Trump in its propaganda film. Trump courted controversy in December when he demanded that all Muslims be barred from entering the US.

The al-Shabab video was distributed on Twitter by the al-Kataib Media Foundation, an Islamist organization.

The terrorists used a clip from Trump's December speech, where he made calls for the United States to bar Muslims from entering the country as his supporters cheered. Many American politicians condemned Trump's statement and said his views could be used as propaganda by militant organizations.

The al-Shabab seemed to have done exactly that. Trump's clip in the 51-minute-long film was sandwiched between clips of militant leader Anwar al-Awlaki saying that Muslims would face a choice between leaving for Islamic countries or staying at home to fight the West, SITE monitoring reported. Al-Awlaki was killed in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011.

The video, confirmed to be genuine by experts, has footage of the US police using force against black people as well as speeches of the African-American activist Malcolm X, who was killed in 1965.

The al-Shabab, an affiliate of the al-Qaida, seeks to overthrow Somalia's government and impose an Islamic regime following a strict version of the Sharia. The organization has carried out many attacks in Kenya and Ethiopia.

Somalian terror group, al-Shabab, has used clips of US presidential candidate Donald Trump in its propaganda film. Trump courted controversy in December when he demanded that all Muslims be barred from entering the US.

The al-Shabab video was distributed on Twitter by the al-Kataib Media Foundation, an Islamist organization.

The terrorists used a clip from Trump's December speech, where he made calls for the United States to bar Muslims from entering the country as his supporters cheered. Many American politicians condemned Trump's statement and said his views could be used as propaganda by militant organizations.

The al-Shabab seemed to have done exactly that. Trump's clip in the 51-minute-long film was sandwiched between clips of militant leader Anwar al-Awlaki saying that Muslims would face a choice between leaving for Islamic countries or staying at home to fight the West, SITE monitoring reported. Al-Awlaki was killed in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011.

The video, confirmed to be genuine by experts, has footage of the US police using force against black people as well as speeches of the African-American activist Malcolm X, who was killed in 1965.

The al-Shabab, an affiliate of the al-Qaida, seeks to overthrow Somalia's government and impose an Islamic regime following a strict version of the Sharia. The organization has carried out many attacks in Kenya and Ethiopia.

Mikel Obi posted a fine display on Sunday, as Chelsea defeated Crystal Palace 3-0 in a Premier League clash at Selhurst Park.

The win was Guus Hiddink's first of his second spell in charge of Chelsea.

Super Eagles star Mikel was solid in the Chelsea midfield and started the move that led to Oscar's opening goal in the first half.

Mikel had 96% pass accuracy, won three tackles, had two blocks and one interception and was one of Chelsea's outstanding players.

The Blues went into the match on a seven-game winless streak on the road, but goals from Oscar, Willian and Diego Costa ensured that they got 2016 off to an encouraging start in the first Premier League London derby of the year.

Eden Hazard was forced off early with an injury but that did not stop Chelsea from putting up a dominant performance.

Chelsea took the lead shortly before the half-hour mark, however, as Cesc Fabregas's pass sent Diego Costa through down the right channel and the striker cut the ball back for Oscar to slide a simple finish into an unguarded net.

Nigeria: Mikel Shines As Chelsea Beat Palace to Give Hiddink First Win

The win was Guus Hiddink's first of his second spell in charge of Chelsea.

Super Eagles star Mikel was solid in the Chelsea midfield and started the move that led to Oscar's opening goal in the first half.

Mikel had 96% pass accuracy, won three tackles, had two blocks and one interception and was one of Chelsea's outstanding players.

The Blues went into the match on a seven-game winless streak on the road, but goals from Oscar, Willian and Diego Costa ensured that they got 2016 off to an encouraging start in the first Premier League London derby of the year.

Eden Hazard was forced off early with an injury but that did not stop Chelsea from putting up a dominant performance.

Chelsea took the lead shortly before the half-hour mark, however, as Cesc Fabregas's pass sent Diego Costa through down the right channel and the striker cut the ball back for Oscar to slide a simple finish into an unguarded net.

\n

\n The win was Guus Hiddink's first of his second spell in charge of Chelsea.\n

\n

\n Super Eagles star Mikel was solid in the Chelsea midfield and started the move that led to Oscar's opening goal in the first half.\n

\n

\n

\n

\n Mikel had 96% pass accuracy, won three tackles, had two blocks and one interception and was one of Chelsea's outstanding players.\n

\n

\n The Blues went into the match on a seven-game winless streak on the road, but goals from Oscar, Willian and Diego Costa ensured that they got 2016 off to an encouraging start in the first Premier League London derby of the year.\n

\n

\n Eden Hazard was forced off early with an injury but that did not stop Chelsea from putting up a dominant performance.\n

\n

\n Chelsea took the lead shortly before the half-hour mark, however, as Cesc Fabregas's pass sent Diego Costa through down the right channel and the striker cut the ball back for Oscar to slide a simple finish into an unguarded net.\n

The year 2015 will go down in history as one of elections in Africa. Overall there were thirteen of them. According to observers, eligible voters realized the importance and civic duty to take part in the elections.

For the first time in Nigeria's history, a sitting president was defeated and accepted the outcome of the election. He later willingly handed over power to his main rival. In this case it was Goodluck Jonathan handing over power to Muhammadu Buhari.

Six months later it was Burkina Faso's turn to elect its new leader. Voters endured long queues at polling stations to elect a new leader, knowing that this time their vote counted, unlike in the past three decades under Blaise Compaore's rule when the results were long certain.

Elsewhere in Burundi violence erupted over President Pierre Nkuruziza's third term bid in office. Like was the case in 2014 in Burkina Faso, citizens and human rights activists protested in Burundi against their president's thirst for power as he, with the help of the state apparatus went ahead and run for a third term. His government violently crushed the protests and systematically embarked on a crackdown of the opposition and rights activists. Nkuruziza was again elected in July - many of his critics have since fled the country.

In the constitutions of many African countries, the presidential term is restricted to two, like in Burundi. This does not always hold. \"So this contradiction between leaders seeking their third term and protesters and voters standing against that, is certainly an interesting new trend in African politics,\" said Jakkie Cilliers, executive director of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in Pretoria.

However Cilliers also told DW that this varies from one country to another. \"Previously voters accepted that leaders have an inevitable right to stay in power for almost as long as they want to. And that certainly is changing,\" he said. Elections are no longer an easy way for the government to secure its power. Voters have become activists.

Voters' choice

The most thrilling election according Ulf Engel, a professor of African Studies at the University of Leipzig, was the one held in Tanzania. Unlike Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Uganda's Yoweri Museveni who are still clinging on to power, President Jakaya Kikwete did not run for presidency after the end of his two terms. He made way for a new president.

Observers had predicted a neck-and-neck race between the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party and the opposition. But the results in the end did not quite turn out as expected. \"The ruling party was worried that would sail through smoothly,\" said Engel. Nevertheless John Magufuli - the ruling party's candidate - won the election. Cilliers agrees that Tanzania is a good example, of increasing pressure on the rulers. \"For the first time there was a relative sense of unease amongst the ruling CCM-party, that it may really face a challenge.\"

Hard times for election fraud

For Sudan, Togo, Guinea-Conakry and Ivory Coast, leaders remained in power. In Ethiopia the ruling government obtained 100 percent according to official results. Every country has its own dynamics and its own political traditions. But developments like in Burkina Faso or in Tanzania show that voters are becoming increasingly critical and want to make themselves heard.

The advancement in technology has also eased the voting exercise. For example in Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Tanzania voters were issued with biometric cards that contained all data from finger prints and personal details.

\"It's no longer as easy as it was in the past to manipulate elections and to staff ballot boxes. The electronic voting and the standards that the international community have brought to bear on elections have changed practices and reduced the ability of governing parties and leaders to manipulate the results,\" said Cilliers.

A technology that prevents misuse of power has not yet been invented. The New Year therefore, compared to the year 2015, is not promising much. In the Democratic Republic of Congo and in neighboring Congo-Brazzaville voters will head to the polls to elect new leaders.

President Sassou-Nguesso lately set the course for his re-election. He changed the constitution making it possible for him to run for a third term. This was then passed in a disputed referendum. There were protests against the referendum which led to deaths and casualties.

In the DRC, a lot suggests that President Joseph Kabila will not abide by the constitution and step down after his two terms. Recently he fired seven politicians in his coalition, after they asked him to abide by the constitution. Rwanda's leader Paul Kagame should also leave office in 2017, but has announced his intention to get re-elected for a third term after parliament amended the constitution.

Africa's Election Year 2015 - a Long Way to Democracy?

By Madelaine Meier

The year 2015 will go down in history as one of elections in Africa. Overall there were thirteen of them. According to observers, eligible voters realized the importance and civic duty to take part in the elections.

For the first time in Nigeria's history, a sitting president was defeated and accepted the outcome of the election. He later willingly handed over power to his main rival. In this case it was Goodluck Jonathan handing over power to Muhammadu Buhari.

Six months later it was Burkina Faso's turn to elect its new leader. Voters endured long queues at polling stations to elect a new leader, knowing that this time their vote counted, unlike in the past three decades under Blaise Compaore's rule when the results were long certain.

Elsewhere in Burundi violence erupted over President Pierre Nkuruziza's third term bid in office. Like was the case in 2014 in Burkina Faso, citizens and human rights activists protested in Burundi against their president's thirst for power as he, with the help of the state apparatus went ahead and run for a third term. His government violently crushed the protests and systematically embarked on a crackdown of the opposition and rights activists. Nkuruziza was again elected in July - many of his critics have since fled the country.

In the constitutions of many African countries, the presidential term is restricted to two, like in Burundi. This does not always hold. \"So this contradiction between leaders seeking their third term and protesters and voters standing against that, is certainly an interesting new trend in African politics,\" said Jakkie Cilliers, executive director of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in Pretoria.

However Cilliers also told DW that this varies from one country to another. \"Previously voters accepted that leaders have an inevitable right to stay in power for almost as long as they want to. And that certainly is changing,\" he said. Elections are no longer an easy way for the government to secure its power. Voters have become activists.

Voters' choice

The most thrilling election according Ulf Engel, a professor of African Studies at the University of Leipzig, was the one held in Tanzania. Unlike Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Uganda's Yoweri Museveni who are still clinging on to power, President Jakaya Kikwete did not run for presidency after the end of his two terms. He made way for a new president.

Observers had predicted a neck-and-neck race between the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party and the opposition. But the results in the end did not quite turn out as expected. \"The ruling party was worried that would sail through smoothly,\" said Engel. Nevertheless John Magufuli - the ruling party's candidate - won the election. Cilliers agrees that Tanzania is a good example, of increasing pressure on the rulers. \"For the first time there was a relative sense of unease amongst the ruling CCM-party, that it may really face a challenge.\"

Hard times for election fraud

For Sudan, Togo, Guinea-Conakry and Ivory Coast, leaders remained in power. In Ethiopia the ruling government obtained 100 percent according to official results. Every country has its own dynamics and its own political traditions. But developments like in Burkina Faso or in Tanzania show that voters are becoming increasingly critical and want to make themselves heard.

The advancement in technology has also eased the voting exercise. For example in Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Tanzania voters were issued with biometric cards that contained all data from finger prints and personal details.

\"It's no longer as easy as it was in the past to manipulate elections and to staff ballot boxes. The electronic voting and the standards that the international community have brought to bear on elections have changed practices and reduced the ability of governing parties and leaders to manipulate the results,\" said Cilliers.

A technology that prevents misuse of power has not yet been invented. The New Year therefore, compared to the year 2015, is not promising much. In the Democratic Republic of Congo and in neighboring Congo-Brazzaville voters will head to the polls to elect new leaders.

President Sassou-Nguesso lately set the course for his re-election. He changed the constitution making it possible for him to run for a third term. This was then passed in a disputed referendum. There were protests against the referendum which led to deaths and casualties.

In the DRC, a lot suggests that President Joseph Kabila will not abide by the constitution and step down after his two terms. Recently he fired seven politicians in his coalition, after they asked him to abide by the constitution. Rwanda's leader Paul Kagame should also leave office in 2017, but has announced his intention to get re-elected for a third term after parliament amended the constitution.

By Madelaine Meier

The year 2015 will go down in history as one of elections in Africa. Overall there were thirteen of them. According to observers, eligible voters realized the importance and civic duty to take part in the elections.

For the first time in Nigeria's history, a sitting president was defeated and accepted the outcome of the election. He later willingly handed over power to his main rival. In this case it was Goodluck Jonathan handing over power to Muhammadu Buhari.

Six months later it was Burkina Faso's turn to elect its new leader. Voters endured long queues at polling stations to elect a new leader, knowing that this time their vote counted, unlike in the past three decades under Blaise Compaore's rule when the results were long certain.

Elsewhere in Burundi violence erupted over President Pierre Nkuruziza's third term bid in office. Like was the case in 2014 in Burkina Faso, citizens and human rights activists protested in Burundi against their president's thirst for power as he, with the help of the state apparatus went ahead and run for a third term. His government violently crushed the protests and systematically embarked on a crackdown of the opposition and rights activists. Nkuruziza was again elected in July - many of his critics have since fled the country.

In the constitutions of many African countries, the presidential term is restricted to two, like in Burundi. This does not always hold. \"So this contradiction between leaders seeking their third term and protesters and voters standing against that, is certainly an interesting new trend in African politics,\" said Jakkie Cilliers, executive director of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in Pretoria.

However Cilliers also told DW that this varies from one country to another. \"Previously voters accepted that leaders have an inevitable right to stay in power for almost as long as they want to. And that certainly is changing,\" he said. Elections are no longer an easy way for the government to secure its power. Voters have become activists.

Voters' choice

The most thrilling election according Ulf Engel, a professor of African Studies at the University of Leipzig, was the one held in Tanzania. Unlike Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Uganda's Yoweri Museveni who are still clinging on to power, President Jakaya Kikwete did not run for presidency after the end of his two terms. He made way for a new president.

Observers had predicted a neck-and-neck race between the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party and the opposition. But the results in the end did not quite turn out as expected. \"The ruling party was worried that would sail through smoothly,\" said Engel. Nevertheless John Magufuli - the ruling party's candidate - won the election. Cilliers agrees that Tanzania is a good example, of increasing pressure on the rulers. \"For the first time there was a relative sense of unease amongst the ruling CCM-party, that it may really face a challenge.\"

Hard times for election fraud

For Sudan, Togo, Guinea-Conakry and Ivory Coast, leaders remained in power. In Ethiopia the ruling government obtained 100 percent according to official results. Every country has its own dynamics and its own political traditions. But developments like in Burkina Faso or in Tanzania show that voters are becoming increasingly critical and want to make themselves heard.

The advancement in technology has also eased the voting exercise. For example in Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Tanzania voters were issued with biometric cards that contained all data from finger prints and personal details.

\"It's no longer as easy as it was in the past to manipulate elections and to staff ballot boxes. The electronic voting and the standards that the international community have brought to bear on elections have changed practices and reduced the ability of governing parties and leaders to manipulate the results,\" said Cilliers.

A technology that prevents misuse of power has not yet been invented. The New Year therefore, compared to the year 2015, is not promising much. In the Democratic Republic of Congo and in neighboring Congo-Brazzaville voters will head to the polls to elect new leaders.

President Sassou-Nguesso lately set the course for his re-election. He changed the constitution making it possible for him to run for a third term. This was then passed in a disputed referendum. There were protests against the referendum which led to deaths and casualties.

In the DRC, a lot suggests that President Joseph Kabila will not abide by the constitution and step down after his two terms. Recently he fired seven politicians in his coalition, after they asked him to abide by the constitution. Rwanda's leader Paul Kagame should also leave office in 2017, but has announced his intention to get re-elected for a third term after parliament amended the constitution.

\n \n By Madelaine Meier\n \n

\n \n The year 2015 will go down in history as one of elections in Africa. Overall there were thirteen of them. According to observers, eligible voters realized the importance and civic duty to take part in the elections.\n \n

\n

\n For the first time in Nigeria's history, a sitting president was defeated and accepted the outcome of the election. He later willingly handed over power to his main rival. In this case it was Goodluck Jonathan handing over power to Muhammadu Buhari.\n

\n

\n Six months later it was Burkina Faso's turn to elect its new leader. Voters endured long queues at polling stations to elect a new leader, knowing that this time their vote counted, unlike in the past three decades under Blaise Compaore's rule when the results were long certain.\n

\n

\n Elsewhere in Burundi violence erupted over President Pierre Nkuruziza's third term bid in office. Like was the case in 2014 in Burkina Faso, citizens and human rights activists protested in Burundi against their president's thirst for power as he, with the help of the state apparatus went ahead and run for a third term. His government violently crushed the protests and systematically embarked on a crackdown of the opposition and rights activists. Nkuruziza was again elected in July - many of his critics have since fled the country.\n

\n In the constitutions of many African countries, the presidential term is restricted to two, like in Burundi. This does not always hold. \"So this contradiction between leaders seeking their third term and protesters and voters standing against that, is certainly an interesting new trend in African politics,\" said Jakkie Cilliers, executive director of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in Pretoria.\n

\n

\n However Cilliers also told DW that this varies from one country to another. \"Previously voters accepted that leaders have an inevitable right to stay in power for almost as long as they want to. And that certainly is changing,\" he said. Elections are no longer an easy way for the government to secure its power. Voters have become activists.\n

\n

\n \n Voters' choice\n \n

\n

\n The most thrilling election according Ulf Engel, a professor of African Studies at the University of Leipzig, was the one held in Tanzania. Unlike Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Uganda's Yoweri Museveni who are still clinging on to power, President Jakaya Kikwete did not run for presidency after the end of his two terms. He made way for a new president.\n

\n Observers had predicted a neck-and-neck race between the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party and the opposition. But the results in the end did not quite turn out as expected. \"The ruling party was worried that would sail through smoothly,\" said Engel. Nevertheless John Magufuli - the ruling party's candidate - won the election. Cilliers agrees that Tanzania is a good example, of increasing pressure on the rulers. \"For the first time there was a relative sense of unease amongst the ruling CCM-party, that it may really face a challenge.\"\n

\n

\n \n Hard times for election fraud\n \n

\n

\n For Sudan, Togo, Guinea-Conakry and Ivory Coast, leaders remained in power. In Ethiopia the ruling government obtained 100 percent according to official results. Every country has its own dynamics and its own political traditions. But developments like in Burkina Faso or in Tanzania show that voters are becoming increasingly critical and want to make themselves heard.\n

\n

\n The advancement in technology has also eased the voting exercise. For example in Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Tanzania voters were issued with biometric cards that contained all data from finger prints and personal details.\n

\n \"It's no longer as easy as it was in the past to manipulate elections and to staff ballot boxes. The electronic voting and the standards that the international community have brought to bear on elections have changed practices and reduced the ability of governing parties and leaders to manipulate the results,\" said Cilliers.\n

\n

\n A technology that prevents misuse of power has not yet been invented. The New Year therefore, compared to the year 2015, is not promising much. In the Democratic Republic of Congo and in neighboring Congo-Brazzaville voters will head to the polls to elect new leaders.\n

\n

\n President Sassou-Nguesso lately set the course for his re-election. He changed the constitution making it possible for him to run for a third term. This was then passed in a disputed referendum. There were protests against the referendum which led to deaths and casualties.\n

\n

\n In the DRC, a lot suggests that President Joseph Kabila will not abide by the constitution and step down after his two terms. Recently he fired seven politicians in his coalition, after they asked him to abide by the constitution. Rwanda's leader Paul Kagame should also leave office in 2017, but has announced his intention to get re-elected for a third term after parliament amended the constitution.\n

Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Johnnie Carson

guest column

By Johnnie Carson

Washington, DC \u2014

After seven years in office, President Barack Obama has already engaged more broadly on Africa than any previous American president, but with one year remaining in the White House, there are still a few things he should do before he leaves, writes

Johnnie Carson

, the United States' top policy-maker on Africa in the first Obama administration.

President Obama has significantly elevated and transformed America's engagement with Africa, traveling widely across the continent, championing the renewal of several old programs and launching a series of highly focused new initiatives that could help speed-up Africa's economic development.

He has been particularly active in promoting economic and development issues.

He fought successfully for the renewal and extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), America's most important trade legislation with Africa; he hosted the first U.S.-Africa Leadership Summit, attended by 37 heads of state; and he has established several important new economic programs, including \"Power Africa\" - to expand significantly electrical access across the continent; \"Feed the Future\" - to increase household food production and to generate a green revolution throughout Africa, and \"Trade Africa\" - to expand substantially trade between Africa and the United States.

Recognizing the growing role of the continent's next generation of young leaders, President Obama established YALI - the Young African Leaders Initiative, a program that will bring 500 young African entrepreneurs, professionals and community organizers to the U.S. each year for the next several years for five weeks of leadership, organization and management training.

But what next?

Despite his rather impressive list of accomplishments, here are ten things the president should do before he leaves office in January 2017:

Visit Nigeria:

President Obama has traveled to Africa five times during his presidency - but he has not visited Nigeria, the continent's economic, political, communications and petroleum giant, and its most important state. It is the continent's largest economy - almost twice the size of South Africa's and a third larger than that of Egypt.

It is also the continent's most populous state, with 180 million people, its largest Muslim country, and its largest democracy.

The president has visited every major country on the continent except Nigeria, and it would be a mistake for him to leave the White House without a stop in Lagos or Abuja.

Some have suggested that security may be a concern because of Boko Haram, but if the president can travel safely to Nairobi, where al Shabaab has carried out high profile attacks in the center of the city, he should be able to travel safely to Abuja or Lagos. He is bound to make one more trip to Europe, and a stop in Nigeria - similar to his 2009 visit to Ghana - would not be a major diversion.

Co-host a regional summit on democracy in west Africa:

Strengthening democracy institutions, promoting good governance and supporting free and fair elections has been a major priority for the Obama administration in Africa.

During his first official visit to the continent as president in July 2009, President Obama spoke eloquently before the Ghanaian Parliament about the importance of democracy and good governance and the need to create \"more strong institutions, not more strong men.\" With a growing number of African leaders attempting to extend their terms of office, democracy remains fragile across the continent. The president could give democracy in Africa a boost and reaffirm America's strong commitment to Africa's political progress by hosting a conference in West Africa with the democratically-elected leaders of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.

Support Nigeria's permanent membership in the G20:

President Obama has said that he wants to ensure that Africa has a place at the table to participate in the deliberations concerning major global political and economic issues. One way to accomplish that is to expand or reorganize the G20 group of nations to include Nigeria as a permanent member of this important global organization.

Nigeria is already more important than several of the current G20 members, notably Argentina and South Africa, and over the next two decades it will become one of the world's mega states, eclipsing several other G20 members in the size of its economy, population and regional influence. It would also be one of the G20's largest democracies. The administration should make the inclusion of Nigeria a priority over the next 12 months.

Press for the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation:

Power Africa is one of President Obama's most important signature initiatives. In the world's most energy deficient and starved continent, it is intended to increase Africa's power output by 30,000 megawatts over the next decade or two.

But like a number of recent White House initiatives, Power Africa is not backed by any legislative mandate and could be easily brushed aside after the Obama administration leaves office. The program enjoys bi-partisan support in the Congress and the administration needs to work with congressional leaders to prioritize the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation. At the same time, the administration needs to create a senior level \"Power Africa czar\" to manage the program and consider moving interagency responsibility for oversight from USAID to a cabinet level department.

Instruct USAID to establish a permanent democracy fund:

If democracy promotion is an important priority, it should be funded adequately and on a long-term basis. Today that is not the case. Funding for democracy has declined sharply during Obama's second term despite the president's recent speeches in Nairobi and Addis Ababa, and at the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Dedicated and hard-to-reprogram funds should be allocated to strengthen African judiciaries and legislatures, to promote civil society groups and the media, to assist women's organizations and youth groups and to support domestic and international election monitoring. Funds should also be made available to assist local organizations to undertake parallel vote counts, to aid local election commissions and to prevent pre- and post-election violence.

Invite Tanzania's newly elected President John Magufuli to the White House:

Tanzania is the most populous state and the largest democracy in East Africa. It is also one of the largest recipients of U.S. development assistance and a participant in all of Washington's major economic initiatives.

In late October, Tanzania held presidential and parliamentary elections.The elections on the mainland went well, but those on the island of Zanzibar were disputed. President John Pombe Magufuli, a reform-minded academic-turned-politician, was elected without dispute, making him Tanzania's fifth democratically-elected president in a row. Although the Zanzibar election remains unresolved, it is important to reach out to Tanzania's new president early in his tenure to continue to foster the strong relationship between Dar es Salaam and Washington.

This is particularly important since President Magufuli does not have any major ties with the United States.Tanzania also has a critical role to play in East African peace-building issues, particularly in Burundi and the eastern Congo. Early political consultations with President Magufuli and his new foreign minister, Dr. Augustine Mahiga, could prove valuable in promoting stability in the Great Lakes region.

Send Secretary of State John Kerry to Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda and the Republic of the Congo:

The Great Lakes Region of Central Africa is one of the most volatile and unstable regions in Africa, with daily political and ethnic violence in Burundi, and with the leaders of Rwanda, the DRC and the Congo threatening to extend themselves in office in violation of their constitutions.

Although time is running out, there is still an opportunity to prevent further democratic backsliding and the serious instability and violence that will almost certainly be unleashed - as we are already seeing in Burundi. High level engagement with the leaders in the region is required.

An extended visit by Secretary Kerry to the DRC, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi would be a strong signal of Washington's deep concern and interest in the region's negative political and security trajectory. Without serious engagement with the leaders on the ground, there will be no meaningful progress.

Open a U.S. consulate in northern Nigeria and a full embassy in Mogadishu:

The establishment of a consulate in northern Nigeria is long overdue. More than half of Nigeria's 180 million people live in the northern part of the country, an area of serious political and security concern. It is also the largest Muslim region in Africa and the largest Muslim region in the world where there is no full-time U.S. diplomatic presence.

A U.S. diplomatic mission would advance long-term political, economic and security interests in the region and help Nigeria to deal with the economic, social and security challenges it faces there. A consulate in Kaduna, which once had one, or Kano would convey a strong signal to the Muslim community that Washington genuinely cares about the people in the region.

Once the global poster child of a failed state, Somalia has made significant progress over the past seven years. In recognition of the progress, the U.S. re-established formal diplomatic relations with the Somali government in Mogadishu in January 2013.

Before he leaves office, President Obama should take one more step. He should reaffirm Washington's commitment to Somalia and recognize the country's continuing progress by appointing a Senate-approved ambassador and opening a small, secure diplomatic embassy compound in downtown Mogadishu.

Elevate U.S. diplomatic relations with Sudan:

Relations between Washington and Khartoum have been prickly and frequently difficult for over two decades and the U.S. has not had a fully accredited, Senate-approved ambassador in Sudan since 1997.

The Khartoum government has not been a good international actor. (Nor have Cuba, Myanmar or Iran.) The regime in Sudan has carried out mass atrocities in Darfur, prevented UN organizations from delivering food aid and humanitarian assistance to those in need and meddled in the affairs of several of its neighbors.

But U.S.-imposed comprehensive sanctions on Khartoum have not isolated the country nor weakened its government. The U.S. should review its current policies toward Khartoum, and consider elevating its diplomatic relationship to full ambassadorial status in order to expand America's dialogue and probe for new openings to resolve some of the country's domestic and regional issues. The U.S. can do this while maintaining its sanctions regime on the government and its demands that President Omar al-Bashir address the serious human rights charges against him.

Provide a status report on the results of the U.S.-Africa Leadership Summit:

The U.S. Africa Leadership Summit has been one of the high points in the Obama administration's engagements in Africa.

Leaders from 50 different countries participated in this first-of-a-kind gathering in Washington. A number of new programs were announced and a major business conference associated with the summit brought dozens of senior American business leaders into direct contact - many for the very first time - with African heads of state and prominent business leaders from the continent.

The administration has never released a comprehensive report on the summit or a one-year progress report on the implementation of summit agreements. The issuance of some type of status report would be a useful vehicle for identifying summit objectives and initiatives as well as tracking the progress of the administration's efforts. The administration should do everything it can to sustain the goodwill and policy initiatives that emerged from the summit to help ensure that it does not become a one-off event.

The administration should be applauded for its continuing efforts to promote greater American trade and commerce with Africa. The president has already announced that he plans to host another U.S.-Africa Business Summit similar to the day-long event his administration hosted during the 2014 Leadership Summit. The Business Summit is important, but it should not be the only thing on President Obama's Africa agenda for 2016. He has time to do more, and he should. Twelve months is a long time in the life of an administration and his foreign policy team should be building a more robust African agenda for his last year in office.

Ambassador Carson was the U.S.

Africa: What Obama Still Owes Africa (a Visit to Nigeria for One Thing)

guest column

By Johnnie Carson

Washington, DC \u2014

After seven years in office, President Barack Obama has already engaged more broadly on Africa than any previous American president, but with one year remaining in the White House, there are still a few things he should do before he leaves, writes

Johnnie Carson

, the United States' top policy-maker on Africa in the first Obama administration.

President Obama has significantly elevated and transformed America's engagement with Africa, traveling widely across the continent, championing the renewal of several old programs and launching a series of highly focused new initiatives that could help speed-up Africa's economic development.

He has been particularly active in promoting economic and development issues.

He fought successfully for the renewal and extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), America's most important trade legislation with Africa; he hosted the first U.S.-Africa Leadership Summit, attended by 37 heads of state; and he has established several important new economic programs, including \"Power Africa\" - to expand significantly electrical access across the continent; \"Feed the Future\" - to increase household food production and to generate a green revolution throughout Africa, and \"Trade Africa\" - to expand substantially trade between Africa and the United States.

Recognizing the growing role of the continent's next generation of young leaders, President Obama established YALI - the Young African Leaders Initiative, a program that will bring 500 young African entrepreneurs, professionals and community organizers to the U.S. each year for the next several years for five weeks of leadership, organization and management training.

But what next?

Despite his rather impressive list of accomplishments, here are ten things the president should do before he leaves office in January 2017:

Visit Nigeria:

President Obama has traveled to Africa five times during his presidency - but he has not visited Nigeria, the continent's economic, political, communications and petroleum giant, and its most important state. It is the continent's largest economy - almost twice the size of South Africa's and a third larger than that of Egypt.

It is also the continent's most populous state, with 180 million people, its largest Muslim country, and its largest democracy.

The president has visited every major country on the continent except Nigeria, and it would be a mistake for him to leave the White House without a stop in Lagos or Abuja.

Some have suggested that security may be a concern because of Boko Haram, but if the president can travel safely to Nairobi, where al Shabaab has carried out high profile attacks in the center of the city, he should be able to travel safely to Abuja or Lagos. He is bound to make one more trip to Europe, and a stop in Nigeria - similar to his 2009 visit to Ghana - would not be a major diversion.

Co-host a regional summit on democracy in west Africa:

Strengthening democracy institutions, promoting good governance and supporting free and fair elections has been a major priority for the Obama administration in Africa.

During his first official visit to the continent as president in July 2009, President Obama spoke eloquently before the Ghanaian Parliament about the importance of democracy and good governance and the need to create \"more strong institutions, not more strong men.\" With a growing number of African leaders attempting to extend their terms of office, democracy remains fragile across the continent. The president could give democracy in Africa a boost and reaffirm America's strong commitment to Africa's political progress by hosting a conference in West Africa with the democratically-elected leaders of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.

Support Nigeria's permanent membership in the G20:

President Obama has said that he wants to ensure that Africa has a place at the table to participate in the deliberations concerning major global political and economic issues. One way to accomplish that is to expand or reorganize the G20 group of nations to include Nigeria as a permanent member of this important global organization.

Nigeria is already more important than several of the current G20 members, notably Argentina and South Africa, and over the next two decades it will become one of the world's mega states, eclipsing several other G20 members in the size of its economy, population and regional influence. It would also be one of the G20's largest democracies. The administration should make the inclusion of Nigeria a priority over the next 12 months.

Press for the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation:

Power Africa is one of President Obama's most important signature initiatives. In the world's most energy deficient and starved continent, it is intended to increase Africa's power output by 30,000 megawatts over the next decade or two.

But like a number of recent White House initiatives, Power Africa is not backed by any legislative mandate and could be easily brushed aside after the Obama administration leaves office. The program enjoys bi-partisan support in the Congress and the administration needs to work with congressional leaders to prioritize the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation. At the same time, the administration needs to create a senior level \"Power Africa czar\" to manage the program and consider moving interagency responsibility for oversight from USAID to a cabinet level department.

Instruct USAID to establish a permanent democracy fund:

If democracy promotion is an important priority, it should be funded adequately and on a long-term basis. Today that is not the case. Funding for democracy has declined sharply during Obama's second term despite the president's recent speeches in Nairobi and Addis Ababa, and at the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Dedicated and hard-to-reprogram funds should be allocated to strengthen African judiciaries and legislatures, to promote civil society groups and the media, to assist women's organizations and youth groups and to support domestic and international election monitoring. Funds should also be made available to assist local organizations to undertake parallel vote counts, to aid local election commissions and to prevent pre- and post-election violence.

Invite Tanzania's newly elected President John Magufuli to the White House:

Tanzania is the most populous state and the largest democracy in East Africa. It is also one of the largest recipients of U.S. development assistance and a participant in all of Washington's major economic initiatives.

In late October, Tanzania held presidential and parliamentary elections.The elections on the mainland went well, but those on the island of Zanzibar were disputed. President John Pombe Magufuli, a reform-minded academic-turned-politician, was elected without dispute, making him Tanzania's fifth democratically-elected president in a row. Although the Zanzibar election remains unresolved, it is important to reach out to Tanzania's new president early in his tenure to continue to foster the strong relationship between Dar es Salaam and Washington.

This is particularly important since President Magufuli does not have any major ties with the United States.Tanzania also has a critical role to play in East African peace-building issues, particularly in Burundi and the eastern Congo. Early political consultations with President Magufuli and his new foreign minister, Dr. Augustine Mahiga, could prove valuable in promoting stability in the Great Lakes region.

Send Secretary of State John Kerry to Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda and the Republic of the Congo:

The Great Lakes Region of Central Africa is one of the most volatile and unstable regions in Africa, with daily political and ethnic violence in Burundi, and with the leaders of Rwanda, the DRC and the Congo threatening to extend themselves in office in violation of their constitutions.

Although time is running out, there is still an opportunity to prevent further democratic backsliding and the serious instability and violence that will almost certainly be unleashed - as we are already seeing in Burundi. High level engagement with the leaders in the region is required.

An extended visit by Secretary Kerry to the DRC, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi would be a strong signal of Washington's deep concern and interest in the region's negative political and security trajectory. Without serious engagement with the leaders on the ground, there will be no meaningful progress.

Open a U.S. consulate in northern Nigeria and a full embassy in Mogadishu:

The establishment of a consulate in northern Nigeria is long overdue. More than half of Nigeria's 180 million people live in the northern part of the country, an area of serious political and security concern. It is also the largest Muslim region in Africa and the largest Muslim region in the world where there is no full-time U.S. diplomatic presence.

A U.S. diplomatic mission would advance long-term political, economic and security interests in the region and help Nigeria to deal with the economic, social and security challenges it faces there. A consulate in Kaduna, which once had one, or Kano would convey a strong signal to the Muslim community that Washington genuinely cares about the people in the region.

Once the global poster child of a failed state, Somalia has made significant progress over the past seven years. In recognition of the progress, the U.S. re-established formal diplomatic relations with the Somali government in Mogadishu in January 2013.

Before he leaves office, President Obama should take one more step. He should reaffirm Washington's commitment to Somalia and recognize the country's continuing progress by appointing a Senate-approved ambassador and opening a small, secure diplomatic embassy compound in downtown Mogadishu.

Elevate U.S. diplomatic relations with Sudan:

Relations between Washington and Khartoum have been prickly and frequently difficult for over two decades and the U.S. has not had a fully accredited, Senate-approved ambassador in Sudan since 1997.

The Khartoum government has not been a good international actor. (Nor have Cuba, Myanmar or Iran.) The regime in Sudan has carried out mass atrocities in Darfur, prevented UN organizations from delivering food aid and humanitarian assistance to those in need and meddled in the affairs of several of its neighbors.

But U.S.-imposed comprehensive sanctions on Khartoum have not isolated the country nor weakened its government. The U.S. should review its current policies toward Khartoum, and consider elevating its diplomatic relationship to full ambassadorial status in order to expand America's dialogue and probe for new openings to resolve some of the country's domestic and regional issues. The U.S. can do this while maintaining its sanctions regime on the government and its demands that President Omar al-Bashir address the serious human rights charges against him.

Provide a status report on the results of the U.S.-Africa Leadership Summit:

The U.S. Africa Leadership Summit has been one of the high points in the Obama administration's engagements in Africa.

Leaders from 50 different countries participated in this first-of-a-kind gathering in Washington. A number of new programs were announced and a major business conference associated with the summit brought dozens of senior American business leaders into direct contact - many for the very first time - with African heads of state and prominent business leaders from the continent.

The administration has never released a comprehensive report on the summit or a one-year progress report on the implementation of summit agreements. The issuance of some type of status report would be a useful vehicle for identifying summit objectives and initiatives as well as tracking the progress of the administration's efforts. The administration should do everything it can to sustain the goodwill and policy initiatives that emerged from the summit to help ensure that it does not become a one-off event.

The administration should be applauded for its continuing efforts to promote greater American trade and commerce with Africa. The president has already announced that he plans to host another U.S.-Africa Business Summit similar to the day-long event his administration hosted during the 2014 Leadership Summit. The Business Summit is important, but it should not be the only thing on President Obama's Africa agenda for 2016. He has time to do more, and he should. Twelve months is a long time in the life of an administration and his foreign policy team should be building a more robust African agenda for his last year in office.

Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Johnnie Carson

guest column

By Johnnie Carson

Washington, DC \u2014

After seven years in office, President Barack Obama has already engaged more broadly on Africa than any previous American president, but with one year remaining in the White House, there are still a few things he should do before he leaves, writes

Johnnie Carson

, the United States' top policy-maker on Africa in the first Obama administration.

President Obama has significantly elevated and transformed America's engagement with Africa, traveling widely across the continent, championing the renewal of several old programs and launching a series of highly focused new initiatives that could help speed-up Africa's economic development.

He has been particularly active in promoting economic and development issues.

He fought successfully for the renewal and extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), America's most important trade legislation with Africa; he hosted the first U.S.-Africa Leadership Summit, attended by 37 heads of state; and he has established several important new economic programs, including \"Power Africa\" - to expand significantly electrical access across the continent; \"Feed the Future\" - to increase household food production and to generate a green revolution throughout Africa, and \"Trade Africa\" - to expand substantially trade between Africa and the United States.

Recognizing the growing role of the continent's next generation of young leaders, President Obama established YALI - the Young African Leaders Initiative, a program that will bring 500 young African entrepreneurs, professionals and community organizers to the U.S. each year for the next several years for five weeks of leadership, organization and management training.

But what next?

Despite his rather impressive list of accomplishments, here are ten things the president should do before he leaves office in January 2017:

Visit Nigeria:

President Obama has traveled to Africa five times during his presidency - but he has not visited Nigeria, the continent's economic, political, communications and petroleum giant, and its most important state. It is the continent's largest economy - almost twice the size of South Africa's and a third larger than that of Egypt.

It is also the continent's most populous state, with 180 million people, its largest Muslim country, and its largest democracy.

The president has visited every major country on the continent except Nigeria, and it would be a mistake for him to leave the White House without a stop in Lagos or Abuja.

Some have suggested that security may be a concern because of Boko Haram, but if the president can travel safely to Nairobi, where al Shabaab has carried out high profile attacks in the center of the city, he should be able to travel safely to Abuja or Lagos. He is bound to make one more trip to Europe, and a stop in Nigeria - similar to his 2009 visit to Ghana - would not be a major diversion.

Co-host a regional summit on democracy in west Africa:

Strengthening democracy institutions, promoting good governance and supporting free and fair elections has been a major priority for the Obama administration in Africa.

During his first official visit to the continent as president in July 2009, President Obama spoke eloquently before the Ghanaian Parliament about the importance of democracy and good governance and the need to create \"more strong institutions, not more strong men.\" With a growing number of African leaders attempting to extend their terms of office, democracy remains fragile across the continent. The president could give democracy in Africa a boost and reaffirm America's strong commitment to Africa's political progress by hosting a conference in West Africa with the democratically-elected leaders of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.

Support Nigeria's permanent membership in the G20:

President Obama has said that he wants to ensure that Africa has a place at the table to participate in the deliberations concerning major global political and economic issues. One way to accomplish that is to expand or reorganize the G20 group of nations to include Nigeria as a permanent member of this important global organization.

Nigeria is already more important than several of the current G20 members, notably Argentina and South Africa, and over the next two decades it will become one of the world's mega states, eclipsing several other G20 members in the size of its economy, population and regional influence. It would also be one of the G20's largest democracies. The administration should make the inclusion of Nigeria a priority over the next 12 months.

Press for the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation:

Power Africa is one of President Obama's most important signature initiatives. In the world's most energy deficient and starved continent, it is intended to increase Africa's power output by 30,000 megawatts over the next decade or two.

But like a number of recent White House initiatives, Power Africa is not backed by any legislative mandate and could be easily brushed aside after the Obama administration leaves office. The program enjoys bi-partisan support in the Congress and the administration needs to work with congressional leaders to prioritize the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation. At the same time, the administration needs to create a senior level \"Power Africa czar\" to manage the program and consider moving interagency responsibility for oversight from USAID to a cabinet level department.

Instruct USAID to establish a permanent democracy fund:

If democracy promotion is an important priority, it should be funded adequately and on a long-term basis. Today that is not the case. Funding for democracy has declined sharply during Obama's second term despite the president's recent speeches in Nairobi and Addis Ababa, and at the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Dedicated and hard-to-reprogram funds should be allocated to strengthen African judiciaries and legislatures, to promote civil society groups and the media, to assist women's organizations and youth groups and to support domestic and international election monitoring. Funds should also be made available to assist local organizations to undertake parallel vote counts, to aid local election commissions and to prevent pre- and post-election violence.

Invite Tanzania's newly elected President John Magufuli to the White House:

Tanzania is the most populous state and the largest democracy in East Africa. It is also one of the largest recipients of U.S. development assistance and a participant in all of Washington's major economic initiatives.

In late October, Tanzania held presidential and parliamentary elections.The elections on the mainland went well, but those on the island of Zanzibar were disputed. President John Pombe Magufuli, a reform-minded academic-turned-politician, was elected without dispute, making him Tanzania's fifth democratically-elected president in a row. Although the Zanzibar election remains unresolved, it is important to reach out to Tanzania's new president early in his tenure to continue to foster the strong relationship between Dar es Salaam and Washington.

This is particularly important since President Magufuli does not have any major ties with the United States.Tanzania also has a critical role to play in East African peace-building issues, particularly in Burundi and the eastern Congo. Early political consultations with President Magufuli and his new foreign minister, Dr. Augustine Mahiga, could prove valuable in promoting stability in the Great Lakes region.

Send Secretary of State John Kerry to Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda and the Republic of the Congo:

The Great Lakes Region of Central Africa is one of the most volatile and unstable regions in Africa, with daily political and ethnic violence in Burundi, and with the leaders of Rwanda, the DRC and the Congo threatening to extend themselves in office in violation of their constitutions.

Although time is running out, there is still an opportunity to prevent further democratic backsliding and the serious instability and violence that will almost certainly be unleashed - as we are already seeing in Burundi. High level engagement with the leaders in the region is required.

An extended visit by Secretary Kerry to the DRC, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi would be a strong signal of Washington's deep concern and interest in the region's negative political and security trajectory. Without serious engagement with the leaders on the ground, there will be no meaningful progress.

Open a U.S. consulate in northern Nigeria and a full embassy in Mogadishu:

The establishment of a consulate in northern Nigeria is long overdue. More than half of Nigeria's 180 million people live in the northern part of the country, an area of serious political and security concern. It is also the largest Muslim region in Africa and the largest Muslim region in the world where there is no full-time U.S. diplomatic presence.

A U.S. diplomatic mission would advance long-term political, economic and security interests in the region and help Nigeria to deal with the economic, social and security challenges it faces there. A consulate in Kaduna, which once had one, or Kano would convey a strong signal to the Muslim community that Washington genuinely cares about the people in the region.

Once the global poster child of a failed state, Somalia has made significant progress over the past seven years. In recognition of the progress, the U.S. re-established formal diplomatic relations with the Somali government in Mogadishu in January 2013.

Before he leaves office, President Obama should take one more step. He should reaffirm Washington's commitment to Somalia and recognize the country's continuing progress by appointing a Senate-approved ambassador and opening a small, secure diplomatic embassy compound in downtown Mogadishu.

Elevate U.S. diplomatic relations with Sudan:

Relations between Washington and Khartoum have been prickly and frequently difficult for over two decades and the U.S. has not had a fully accredited, Senate-approved ambassador in Sudan since 1997.

The Khartoum government has not been a good international actor. (Nor have Cuba, Myanmar or Iran.) The regime in Sudan has carried out mass atrocities in Darfur, prevented UN organizations from delivering food aid and humanitarian assistance to those in need and meddled in the affairs of several of its neighbors.

But U.S.-imposed comprehensive sanctions on Khartoum have not isolated the country nor weakened its government. The U.S. should review its current policies toward Khartoum, and consider elevating its diplomatic relationship to full ambassadorial status in order to expand America's dialogue and probe for new openings to resolve some of the country's domestic and regional issues. The U.S. can do this while maintaining its sanctions regime on the government and its demands that President Omar al-Bashir address the serious human rights charges against him.

Provide a status report on the results of the U.S.-Africa Leadership Summit:

The U.S. Africa Leadership Summit has been one of the high points in the Obama administration's engagements in Africa.

Leaders from 50 different countries participated in this first-of-a-kind gathering in Washington. A number of new programs were announced and a major business conference associated with the summit brought dozens of senior American business leaders into direct contact - many for the very first time - with African heads of state and prominent business leaders from the continent.

The administration has never released a comprehensive report on the summit or a one-year progress report on the implementation of summit agreements. The issuance of some type of status report would be a useful vehicle for identifying summit objectives and initiatives as well as tracking the progress of the administration's efforts. The administration should do everything it can to sustain the goodwill and policy initiatives that emerged from the summit to help ensure that it does not become a one-off event.

The administration should be applauded for its continuing efforts to promote greater American trade and commerce with Africa. The president has already announced that he plans to host another U.S.-Africa Business Summit similar to the day-long event his administration hosted during the 2014 Leadership Summit. The Business Summit is important, but it should not be the only thing on President Obama's Africa agenda for 2016. He has time to do more, and he should. Twelve months is a long time in the life of an administration and his foreign policy team should be building a more robust African agenda for his last year in office.

\n Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Johnnie Carson\n
\n
\n \n guest column\n \n \n By Johnnie Carson\n \n

\n Washington, DC —\n \n After seven years in office, President Barack Obama has already engaged more broadly on Africa than any previous American president, but with one year remaining in the White House, there are still a few things he should do before he leaves, writes\n \n Johnnie Carson\n \n , the United States' top policy-maker on Africa in the first Obama administration.\n \n

\n

\n President Obama has significantly elevated and transformed America's engagement with Africa, traveling widely across the continent, championing the renewal of several old programs and launching a series of highly focused new initiatives that could help speed-up Africa's economic development.\n

\n

\n He has been particularly active in promoting economic and development issues.\n

\n

\n He fought successfully for the renewal and extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), America's most important trade legislation with Africa; he hosted the first U.S.-Africa Leadership Summit, attended by 37 heads of state; and he has established several important new economic programs, including \"Power Africa\" - to expand significantly electrical access across the continent; \"Feed the Future\" - to increase household food production and to generate a green revolution throughout Africa, and \"Trade Africa\" - to expand substantially trade between Africa and the United States.\n

\n

\n Recognizing the growing role of the continent's next generation of young leaders, President Obama established YALI - the Young African Leaders Initiative, a program that will bring 500 young African entrepreneurs, professionals and community organizers to the U.S. each year for the next several years for five weeks of leadership, organization and management training.\n

\n

\n \n But what next?\n \n

\n

\n Despite his rather impressive list of accomplishments, here are ten things the president should do before he leaves office in January 2017:\n

\n

\n \n \n Visit Nigeria:\n \n \n President Obama has traveled to Africa five times during his presidency - but he has not visited Nigeria, the continent's economic, political, communications and petroleum giant, and its most important state. It is the continent's largest economy - almost twice the size of South Africa's and a third larger than that of Egypt.\n

\n

\n It is also the continent's most populous state, with 180 million people, its largest Muslim country, and its largest democracy.\n

\n

\n The president has visited every major country on the continent except Nigeria, and it would be a mistake for him to leave the White House without a stop in Lagos or Abuja.\n

\n

\n Some have suggested that security may be a concern because of Boko Haram, but if the president can travel safely to Nairobi, where al Shabaab has carried out high profile attacks in the center of the city, he should be able to travel safely to Abuja or Lagos. He is bound to make one more trip to Europe, and a stop in Nigeria - similar to his 2009 visit to Ghana - would not be a major diversion.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n \n \n Co-host a regional summit on democracy in west Africa:\n \n \n Strengthening democracy institutions, promoting good governance and supporting free and fair elections has been a major priority for the Obama administration in Africa.\n

\n

\n During his first official visit to the continent as president in July 2009, President Obama spoke eloquently before the Ghanaian Parliament about the importance of democracy and good governance and the need to create \"more strong institutions, not more strong men.\" With a growing number of African leaders attempting to extend their terms of office, democracy remains fragile across the continent. The president could give democracy in Africa a boost and reaffirm America's strong commitment to Africa's political progress by hosting a conference in West Africa with the democratically-elected leaders of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.\n

\n

\n \n \n Support Nigeria's permanent membership in the G20:\n \n \n President Obama has said that he wants to ensure that Africa has a place at the table to participate in the deliberations concerning major global political and economic issues. One way to accomplish that is to expand or reorganize the G20 group of nations to include Nigeria as a permanent member of this important global organization.\n

\n

\n Nigeria is already more important than several of the current G20 members, notably Argentina and South Africa, and over the next two decades it will become one of the world's mega states, eclipsing several other G20 members in the size of its economy, population and regional influence. It would also be one of the G20's largest democracies. The administration should make the inclusion of Nigeria a priority over the next 12 months.\n

\n

\n \n \n Press for the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation:\n \n \n Power Africa is one of President Obama's most important signature initiatives. In the world's most energy deficient and starved continent, it is intended to increase Africa's power output by 30,000 megawatts over the next decade or two.\n

\n

\n But like a number of recent White House initiatives, Power Africa is not backed by any legislative mandate and could be easily brushed aside after the Obama administration leaves office. The program enjoys bi-partisan support in the Congress and the administration needs to work with congressional leaders to prioritize the passage of the Electrify Africa legislation. At the same time, the administration needs to create a senior level \"Power Africa czar\" to manage the program and consider moving interagency responsibility for oversight from USAID to a cabinet level department.\n

\n

\n \n \n Instruct USAID to establish a permanent democracy fund:\n \n \n If democracy promotion is an important priority, it should be funded adequately and on a long-term basis. Today that is not the case. Funding for democracy has declined sharply during Obama's second term despite the president's recent speeches in Nairobi and Addis Ababa, and at the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.\n

\n

\n Dedicated and hard-to-reprogram funds should be allocated to strengthen African judiciaries and legislatures, to promote civil society groups and the media, to assist women's organizations and youth groups and to support domestic and international election monitoring. Funds should also be made available to assist local organizations to undertake parallel vote counts, to aid local election commissions and to prevent pre- and post-election violence.\n

\n

\n \n \n Invite Tanzania's newly elected President John Magufuli to the White House:\n \n \n Tanzania is the most populous state and the largest democracy in East Africa. It is also one of the largest recipients of U.S. development assistance and a participant in all of Washington's major economic initiatives.\n

\n

\n In late October, Tanzania held presidential and parliamentary elections.The elections on the mainland went well, but those on the island of Zanzibar were disputed. President John Pombe Magufuli, a reform-minded academic-turned-politician, was elected without dispute, making him Tanzania's fifth democratically-elected president in a row. Although the Zanzibar election remains unresolved, it is important to reach out to Tanzania's new president early in his tenure to continue to foster the strong relationship between Dar es Salaam and Washington.\n

\n

\n This is particularly important since President Magufuli does not have any major ties with the United States.Tanzania also has a critical role to play in East African peace-building issues, particularly in Burundi and the eastern Congo. Early political consultations with President Magufuli and his new foreign minister, Dr. Augustine Mahiga, could prove valuable in promoting stability in the Great Lakes region.\n

\n

\n \n \n Send Secretary of State John Kerry to Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda and the Republic of the Congo:\n \n \n The Great Lakes Region of Central Africa is one of the most volatile and unstable regions in Africa, with daily political and ethnic violence in Burundi, and with the leaders of Rwanda, the DRC and the Congo threatening to extend themselves in office in violation of their constitutions.\n

\n

\n Although time is running out, there is still an opportunity to prevent further democratic backsliding and the serious instability and violence that will almost certainly be unleashed - as we are already seeing in Burundi. High level engagement with the leaders in the region is required.\n

\n

\n An extended visit by Secretary Kerry to the DRC, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi would be a strong signal of Washington's deep concern and interest in the region's negative political and security trajectory. Without serious engagement with the leaders on the ground, there will be no meaningful progress.\n

\n

\n \n \n Open a U.S. consulate in northern Nigeria and a full embassy in Mogadishu:\n \n \n The establishment of a consulate in northern Nigeria is long overdue. More than half of Nigeria's 180 million people live in the northern part of the country, an area of serious political and security concern. It is also the largest Muslim region in Africa and the largest Muslim region in the world where there is no full-time U.S. diplomatic presence.\n

\n

\n A U.S. diplomatic mission would advance long-term political, economic and security interests in the region and help Nigeria to deal with the economic, social and security challenges it faces there. A consulate in Kaduna, which once had one, or Kano would convey a strong signal to the Muslim community that Washington genuinely cares about the people in the region.\n

\n

\n Once the global poster child of a failed state, Somalia has made significant progress over the past seven years. In recognition of the progress, the U.S. re-established formal diplomatic relations with the Somali government in Mogadishu in January 2013.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n Before he leaves office, President Obama should take one more step. He should reaffirm Washington's commitment to Somalia and recognize the country's continuing progress by appointing a Senate-approved ambassador and opening a small, secure diplomatic embassy compound in downtown Mogadishu.\n

\n

\n \n \n Elevate U.S. diplomatic relations with Sudan:\n \n \n Relations between Washington and Khartoum have been prickly and frequently difficult for over two decades and the U.S. has not had a fully accredited, Senate-approved ambassador in Sudan since 1997.\n

\n

\n The Khartoum government has not been a good international actor. (Nor have Cuba, Myanmar or Iran.) The regime in Sudan has carried out mass atrocities in Darfur, prevented UN organizations from delivering food aid and humanitarian assistance to those in need and meddled in the affairs of several of its neighbors.\n

\n

\n But U.S.-imposed comprehensive sanctions on Khartoum have not isolated the country nor weakened its government. The U.S. should review its current policies toward Khartoum, and consider elevating its diplomatic relationship to full ambassadorial status in order to expand America's dialogue and probe for new openings to resolve some of the country's domestic and regional issues. The U.S. can do this while maintaining its sanctions regime on the government and its demands that President Omar al-Bashir address the serious human rights charges against him.\n

\n

\n \n \n Provide a status report on the results of the U.S.-Africa Leadership Summit:\n \n \n The U.S. Africa Leadership Summit has been one of the high points in the Obama administration's engagements in Africa.\n

\n

\n Leaders from 50 different countries participated in this first-of-a-kind gathering in Washington. A number of new programs were announced and a major business conference associated with the summit brought dozens of senior American business leaders into direct contact - many for the very first time - with African heads of state and prominent business leaders from the continent.\n

\n

\n The administration has never released a comprehensive report on the summit or a one-year progress report on the implementation of summit agreements. The issuance of some type of status report would be a useful vehicle for identifying summit objectives and initiatives as well as tracking the progress of the administration's efforts. The administration should do everything it can to sustain the goodwill and policy initiatives that emerged from the summit to help ensure that it does not become a one-off event.\n

\n

\n The administration should be applauded for its continuing efforts to promote greater American trade and commerce with Africa. The president has already announced that he plans to host another U.S.-Africa Business Summit similar to the day-long event his administration hosted during the 2014 Leadership Summit. The Business Summit is important, but it should not be the only thing on President Obama's Africa agenda for 2016. He has time to do more, and he should. Twelve months is a long time in the life of an administration and his foreign policy team should be building a more robust African agenda for his last year in office.\n

\n

\n \n Ambassador Carson was the U.S.\n \n Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs\n \n from 2009 to 2012. He is currently a Senior Advisor at the\n \n United States Institute of Peace.\n \n \n

Twenty-five elite athletes from the High Altitude Athletics Club of Jos, Plateau State, and some fun runners will be in Lagos to participate in the February 6, 2016, Access Bank Lagos City Marathon.

Plateau State and adjoining states like Bauchi, Kaduna, Gombe and others have the highest number of long distance road races and marathon runners in Nigeria.

Coach Steve Nuhu, owner of the High Altitude Athletics Club, said the return of the Lagos City Marathon is one of the best things to happen to Nigeria sports in recent times,

\"We are talking about youth empowerment, unemployment and other vices, what better way to engage our youth than having many marathons and road races in Nigeria.

\"I hope and pray that many other states, especially states in the Northern part of the country with a very high percentage of distance runners who train year in, year out but are not involved in competitions because of dearth or even absence of competitions will take a cue from Lagos and organize more road races, half and full marathons.\"

For the February 6 race in Lagos, Coach Nuhu is optimistic that his athletes will not only win the national title but will also give the elite athletes from other parts of the world a good fight for the ultimate prize,

\"For us, the February 6 race is a celebration of our sports. We are coming to Lagos with 25 elite marathoners and many fun runners. Our target is not just the prizes for Nigerians, but also the ultimate prize. The reason why our athletes are not running fantastic time is because we don't have competitions regularly like the Kenyans.

\"The moment we start and make money on the road, we shall compete more and rival East Africans for the best prizes around the globe\" said Nuhu.

Nigeria: Lagos Marathon - 25 Elite Runners From Jos Sign Up for Race

Twenty-five elite athletes from the High Altitude Athletics Club of Jos, Plateau State, and some fun runners will be in Lagos to participate in the February 6, 2016, Access Bank Lagos City Marathon.

Plateau State and adjoining states like Bauchi, Kaduna, Gombe and others have the highest number of long distance road races and marathon runners in Nigeria.

Coach Steve Nuhu, owner of the High Altitude Athletics Club, said the return of the Lagos City Marathon is one of the best things to happen to Nigeria sports in recent times,

\"We are talking about youth empowerment, unemployment and other vices, what better way to engage our youth than having many marathons and road races in Nigeria.

\"I hope and pray that many other states, especially states in the Northern part of the country with a very high percentage of distance runners who train year in, year out but are not involved in competitions because of dearth or even absence of competitions will take a cue from Lagos and organize more road races, half and full marathons.\"

For the February 6 race in Lagos, Coach Nuhu is optimistic that his athletes will not only win the national title but will also give the elite athletes from other parts of the world a good fight for the ultimate prize,

\"For us, the February 6 race is a celebration of our sports. We are coming to Lagos with 25 elite marathoners and many fun runners. Our target is not just the prizes for Nigerians, but also the ultimate prize. The reason why our athletes are not running fantastic time is because we don't have competitions regularly like the Kenyans.

\"The moment we start and make money on the road, we shall compete more and rival East Africans for the best prizes around the globe\" said Nuhu.

Twenty-five elite athletes from the High Altitude Athletics Club of Jos, Plateau State, and some fun runners will be in Lagos to participate in the February 6, 2016, Access Bank Lagos City Marathon.

Plateau State and adjoining states like Bauchi, Kaduna, Gombe and others have the highest number of long distance road races and marathon runners in Nigeria.

Coach Steve Nuhu, owner of the High Altitude Athletics Club, said the return of the Lagos City Marathon is one of the best things to happen to Nigeria sports in recent times,

\"We are talking about youth empowerment, unemployment and other vices, what better way to engage our youth than having many marathons and road races in Nigeria.

\"I hope and pray that many other states, especially states in the Northern part of the country with a very high percentage of distance runners who train year in, year out but are not involved in competitions because of dearth or even absence of competitions will take a cue from Lagos and organize more road races, half and full marathons.\"

For the February 6 race in Lagos, Coach Nuhu is optimistic that his athletes will not only win the national title but will also give the elite athletes from other parts of the world a good fight for the ultimate prize,

\"For us, the February 6 race is a celebration of our sports. We are coming to Lagos with 25 elite marathoners and many fun runners. Our target is not just the prizes for Nigerians, but also the ultimate prize. The reason why our athletes are not running fantastic time is because we don't have competitions regularly like the Kenyans.

\"The moment we start and make money on the road, we shall compete more and rival East Africans for the best prizes around the globe\" said Nuhu.

By Blessing Obineche

The President, Rivers Patriotic Vanguard, has said it is a figment of imagination of those who alleged that wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Mrs Patience Jonathan recently met former Niger Delta Militants headed by Chief Ateke Tom in Okrika, Rivers State to discuss modalities of supporting the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Timipre Sylvain in the January 9 rescheduled governorship election in Bayelsa State, describing the purported meeting as untrue.

Speaking at a media roundtable in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Sunday, the group's President, Dr. Bright Numofagha stated that Mrs. Patience Jonathan, who is the Chair of the group's board of trustees at no time contemplated giving any kind of support to the Bayelsa APC governorship candidate, describing the rumoured support and meeting with Chief Ateke Tom led former militants group as \"ridiculous and unfounded\".

He stated that those peddling the 'falsehood' should have known that it was impossible for Mrs Jonathan to support any other candidate against the choice of her husband, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, in his home State of Bayelsa, other than the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP's flagbearer, Governor Henry Seriake Dickson.

The group, therefore, urged the general public, to disregard the rumoured endorsement of Chief Timipre Sylva by Dame Patience Jonathan, as it described it as the desperate attempt by the APC in Bayelsa State and its candidate to ride on the goodwill of the Jonathans in Bayelsa State, to manipulate the outcome of the supplementary governorship election in the State, scheduled for the 9th of January, 2016.

The group advised Chief Timipre Sylva to accept the decision of the people of Bayelsa State, as expressed during the December 5th 2015 election, where Governor Dickson currently maintains a clear lead in six of the seven local governments, where results have already been declared in the election.

Dr. Numofagha also urged the people of Bayelsa, to remain peaceful and law abiding and never succumb to any form of violence and intimidation that the expected engagements of known Militants and political thugs, by the Bayelsa State APC, may have been intended to achieve.

He further noted that former President Goodluck Jonathan and his family, including the wife, are currently on vacation in the United Kingdom, hence there was no way Mrs Patience could have attended any political meeting the last few days.

Nigeria: Dame Patience Jonathan Not Working for Sylva's Re-Election.

By Blessing Obineche

The President, Rivers Patriotic Vanguard, has said it is a figment of imagination of those who alleged that wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Mrs Patience Jonathan recently met former Niger Delta Militants headed by Chief Ateke Tom in Okrika, Rivers State to discuss modalities of supporting the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Timipre Sylvain in the January 9 rescheduled governorship election in Bayelsa State, describing the purported meeting as untrue.

Speaking at a media roundtable in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Sunday, the group's President, Dr. Bright Numofagha stated that Mrs. Patience Jonathan, who is the Chair of the group's board of trustees at no time contemplated giving any kind of support to the Bayelsa APC governorship candidate, describing the rumoured support and meeting with Chief Ateke Tom led former militants group as \"ridiculous and unfounded\".

He stated that those peddling the 'falsehood' should have known that it was impossible for Mrs Jonathan to support any other candidate against the choice of her husband, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, in his home State of Bayelsa, other than the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP's flagbearer, Governor Henry Seriake Dickson.

The group, therefore, urged the general public, to disregard the rumoured endorsement of Chief Timipre Sylva by Dame Patience Jonathan, as it described it as the desperate attempt by the APC in Bayelsa State and its candidate to ride on the goodwill of the Jonathans in Bayelsa State, to manipulate the outcome of the supplementary governorship election in the State, scheduled for the 9th of January, 2016.

The group advised Chief Timipre Sylva to accept the decision of the people of Bayelsa State, as expressed during the December 5th 2015 election, where Governor Dickson currently maintains a clear lead in six of the seven local governments, where results have already been declared in the election.

Dr. Numofagha also urged the people of Bayelsa, to remain peaceful and law abiding and never succumb to any form of violence and intimidation that the expected engagements of known Militants and political thugs, by the Bayelsa State APC, may have been intended to achieve.

He further noted that former President Goodluck Jonathan and his family, including the wife, are currently on vacation in the United Kingdom, hence there was no way Mrs Patience could have attended any political meeting the last few days.

\n \n By Blessing Obineche\n \n

\n The President, Rivers Patriotic Vanguard, has said it is a figment of imagination of those who alleged that wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr. Mrs Patience Jonathan recently met former Niger Delta Militants headed by Chief Ateke Tom in Okrika, Rivers State to discuss modalities of supporting the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Timipre Sylvain in the January 9 rescheduled governorship election in Bayelsa State, describing the purported meeting as untrue.\n

\n

\n Speaking at a media roundtable in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Sunday, the group's President, Dr. Bright Numofagha stated that Mrs. Patience Jonathan, who is the Chair of the group's board of trustees at no time contemplated giving any kind of support to the Bayelsa APC governorship candidate, describing the rumoured support and meeting with Chief Ateke Tom led former militants group as \"ridiculous and unfounded\".\n

\n

\n He stated that those peddling the 'falsehood' should have known that it was impossible for Mrs Jonathan to support any other candidate against the choice of her husband, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, in his home State of Bayelsa, other than the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP's flagbearer, Governor Henry Seriake Dickson.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n

\n The group, therefore, urged the general public, to disregard the rumoured endorsement of Chief Timipre Sylva by Dame Patience Jonathan, as it described it as the desperate attempt by the APC in Bayelsa State and its candidate to ride on the goodwill of the Jonathans in Bayelsa State, to manipulate the outcome of the supplementary governorship election in the State, scheduled for the 9th of January, 2016.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\n The group advised Chief Timipre Sylva to accept the decision of the people of Bayelsa State, as expressed during the December 5th 2015 election, where Governor Dickson currently maintains a clear lead in six of the seven local governments, where results have already been declared in the election.\n

\n

\n Dr. Numofagha also urged the people of Bayelsa, to remain peaceful and law abiding and never succumb to any form of violence and intimidation that the expected engagements of known Militants and political thugs, by the Bayelsa State APC, may have been intended to achieve.\n

\n

\n He further noted that former President Goodluck Jonathan and his family, including the wife, are currently on vacation in the United Kingdom, hence there was no way Mrs Patience could have attended any political meeting the last few days.\n

By Emmanuel Ugwu

With the expansion undergone in terms of medical facilities and availability of highly skilled personnel, the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Umuahia is ripe to be upgraded to a teaching hospital, the medical director (MD), Dr Chuku Abali had said.

Speaking with journalists on the progress so far recorded and the future plans for the institution, the MD said the FMC which sits on a 77 hectare in the capital city can comfortably be converted into a teaching hospital. This, he hoped would be realized if Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike (MOUAU) eventually gets the nod to run medical programmes, as planned.

\"FMC is long overdue to become a teaching hospital,\" he asserted, adding that with the level of excellence it has attained, if more public hospitals could be upgraded to create pockets of excellence\" across the country it would curtail the craze for medical tourism by Nigerians,\" he explained.

He stated that the FMC has continued to expand its services with building of new wards of 88 beds to increase the existing bed spaces from 287 to 375, while the provision of advanced diagnostic centre and other modern medical equipment would be completed next year.

Dr Abali said that the advanced diagnostic centre was being funded by the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) and would involve installing of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine to compliment the CT scanner already in use.

\"We plan to deepen our services to make FMC Umuahia stand out as the best medical facilities in the South East and South South,\" he said, adding, \"We feel that improving our services will attract people from far and near\".

According to him, the FMC Umuahia was selected for the South East zone in the intervention by the NSIA, while the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) was chosen from the South West and Aminu Kano hospital for the North.

\"This FMC has deepened services in internal medicine, while the dialysis centre is undergoing expansion with addition of two dialysis machine to make it six and eventually reach the target of 10, while it also boasts of purpose-built In-Vitro Fertilisation laboratory, which is ranked among the best in the country,\" he stated.

To further improve services, Dr Abali said that management has adopted the use of social media (WhatsAPP) platform to transmit scan results to doctors, thereby giving the 76 full time consultants, including three neurosurgeons at the FMC Umuahia opportunity to give their best in treating patients. He said that he developed the passion to turn FMC Umuahia into a medical haven when he was undergoing five months medical care in the United Kingdom, following an assassination attempt in October 2011 when armed men shot him.

\"I promised God that I will replicate the medical facilities I saw there (UK),\" he said, adding \"If we get all that we ask for, there is really no limit to what we can go in providing world class medical care at FMC Umuahia,\" the MD explained.

Nigeria: FMC Umuahia Ripe to Become Teaching Hospital, Says MD

By Emmanuel Ugwu

With the expansion undergone in terms of medical facilities and availability of highly skilled personnel, the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Umuahia is ripe to be upgraded to a teaching hospital, the medical director (MD), Dr Chuku Abali had said.

Speaking with journalists on the progress so far recorded and the future plans for the institution, the MD said the FMC which sits on a 77 hectare in the capital city can comfortably be converted into a teaching hospital. This, he hoped would be realized if Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike (MOUAU) eventually gets the nod to run medical programmes, as planned.

\"FMC is long overdue to become a teaching hospital,\" he asserted, adding that with the level of excellence it has attained, if more public hospitals could be upgraded to create pockets of excellence\" across the country it would curtail the craze for medical tourism by Nigerians,\" he explained.

He stated that the FMC has continued to expand its services with building of new wards of 88 beds to increase the existing bed spaces from 287 to 375, while the provision of advanced diagnostic centre and other modern medical equipment would be completed next year.

Dr Abali said that the advanced diagnostic centre was being funded by the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) and would involve installing of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine to compliment the CT scanner already in use.

\"We plan to deepen our services to make FMC Umuahia stand out as the best medical facilities in the South East and South South,\" he said, adding, \"We feel that improving our services will attract people from far and near\".

According to him, the FMC Umuahia was selected for the South East zone in the intervention by the NSIA, while the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) was chosen from the South West and Aminu Kano hospital for the North.

\"This FMC has deepened services in internal medicine, while the dialysis centre is undergoing expansion with addition of two dialysis machine to make it six and eventually reach the target of 10, while it also boasts of purpose-built In-Vitro Fertilisation laboratory, which is ranked among the best in the country,\" he stated.

To further improve services, Dr Abali said that management has adopted the use of social media (WhatsAPP) platform to transmit scan results to doctors, thereby giving the 76 full time consultants, including three neurosurgeons at the FMC Umuahia opportunity to give their best in treating patients. He said that he developed the passion to turn FMC Umuahia into a medical haven when he was undergoing five months medical care in the United Kingdom, following an assassination attempt in October 2011 when armed men shot him.

\"I promised God that I will replicate the medical facilities I saw there (UK),\" he said, adding \"If we get all that we ask for, there is really no limit to what we can go in providing world class medical care at FMC Umuahia,\" the MD explained.

By Emmanuel Ugwu

With the expansion undergone in terms of medical facilities and availability of highly skilled personnel, the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Umuahia is ripe to be upgraded to a teaching hospital, the medical director (MD), Dr Chuku Abali had said.

Speaking with journalists on the progress so far recorded and the future plans for the institution, the MD said the FMC which sits on a 77 hectare in the capital city can comfortably be converted into a teaching hospital. This, he hoped would be realized if Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike (MOUAU) eventually gets the nod to run medical programmes, as planned.

\"FMC is long overdue to become a teaching hospital,\" he asserted, adding that with the level of excellence it has attained, if more public hospitals could be upgraded to create pockets of excellence\" across the country it would curtail the craze for medical tourism by Nigerians,\" he explained.

He stated that the FMC has continued to expand its services with building of new wards of 88 beds to increase the existing bed spaces from 287 to 375, while the provision of advanced diagnostic centre and other modern medical equipment would be completed next year.

Dr Abali said that the advanced diagnostic centre was being funded by the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) and would involve installing of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine to compliment the CT scanner already in use.

\"We plan to deepen our services to make FMC Umuahia stand out as the best medical facilities in the South East and South South,\" he said, adding, \"We feel that improving our services will attract people from far and near\".

According to him, the FMC Umuahia was selected for the South East zone in the intervention by the NSIA, while the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) was chosen from the South West and Aminu Kano hospital for the North.

\"This FMC has deepened services in internal medicine, while the dialysis centre is undergoing expansion with addition of two dialysis machine to make it six and eventually reach the target of 10, while it also boasts of purpose-built In-Vitro Fertilisation laboratory, which is ranked among the best in the country,\" he stated.

To further improve services, Dr Abali said that management has adopted the use of social media (WhatsAPP) platform to transmit scan results to doctors, thereby giving the 76 full time consultants, including three neurosurgeons at the FMC Umuahia opportunity to give their best in treating patients. He said that he developed the passion to turn FMC Umuahia into a medical haven when he was undergoing five months medical care in the United Kingdom, following an assassination attempt in October 2011 when armed men shot him.

\"I promised God that I will replicate the medical facilities I saw there (UK),\" he said, adding \"If we get all that we ask for, there is really no limit to what we can go in providing world class medical care at FMC Umuahia,\" the MD explained.

\n Dr Abali said that the advanced diagnostic centre was being funded by the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) and would involve installing of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine to compliment the CT scanner already in use.\n

\n \"We plan to deepen our services to make FMC Umuahia stand out as the best medical facilities in the South East and South South,\" he said, adding, \"We feel that improving our services will attract people from far and near\".\n

\n

\n According to him, the FMC Umuahia was selected for the South East zone in the intervention by the NSIA, while the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) was chosen from the South West and Aminu Kano hospital for the North.\n

\n

\n \"This FMC has deepened services in internal medicine, while the dialysis centre is undergoing expansion with addition of two dialysis machine to make it six and eventually reach the target of 10, while it also boasts of purpose-built In-Vitro Fertilisation laboratory, which is ranked among the best in the country,\" he stated.\n

\n To further improve services, Dr Abali said that management has adopted the use of social media (WhatsAPP) platform to transmit scan results to doctors, thereby giving the 76 full time consultants, including three neurosurgeons at the FMC Umuahia opportunity to give their best in treating patients. He said that he developed the passion to turn FMC Umuahia into a medical haven when he was undergoing five months medical care in the United Kingdom, following an assassination attempt in October 2011 when armed men shot him.\n

\n

\n \"I promised God that I will replicate the medical facilities I saw there (UK),\" he said, adding \"If we get all that we ask for, there is really no limit to what we can go in providing world class medical care at FMC Umuahia,\" the MD explained.\n

By Blessing Obineche

The Bayelsa State Justice Forum, has taken a swipe at the All Progressives Congress (APC), over the claim, that the Governor of Bayelsa and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), offered a bribe of two hundred million Naira, to the State's Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr. Baritor Kpagih to manipulate the outcome of the December 2015 governorship election in the State, in favor of the PDP.

The Forum through its Coordinator, Pastor Markson Konugha in a release sent to journalists in Yenegoa, described as false, spurious and baseless, the alarmist cry by the APC, accusing the REC and Governor Seriake Dickson, in the alleged scandal.

Reacting to the allegation, Pastor Konugha who laughed off the APC allegation being made through one of its front in INEC, Mr Francis Asmakia Tedobserved that while it was not necessary to join issues with the APC, a party which has already lost the governorship election in Bayelsa State, and is reputed to thrive on propaganda and blackmail, it was pertinent to set the records straight so that the unsuspecting public is not misled and misinformed by the APC.

The Group's Coordinator said the bribe story only exists in the imagination of its authors. He challenged the APC to present evidence of how the alleged sum of N200m was handed to the INEC's REC by Governor Seriake Dickson, through whom, and by what channel it was transmitted.

The group berated the APC for what he termed its provocative acts of mudslinging, in a desperate bid to manipulate the outcome of the rescheduled elections in the Southern Ijaw Local government area of the State, scheduled for January 9th, 2016, which it said, will not work.

The group also disclosed that it was aware that investigation is ongoing into the claim by Mr. Baritor Kpagih that some influential politicians attempted to bribe him before the December 2015 Governorship election, as information has it already, that the APC governorship candidate, Chief Timipre Sylva did actually approached the REC, through his wife with a cash sum of One million US Dollars which was out rightly rejected by Mrs. Kpaghi.

The group however called on all Bayelsans and supporters of Governor Seriake Dickson to remain steadfast and continue to support the PDP administration in the state to deliver on its agenda of economic development, job and wealth creation, as well as industrialisation.

Nigeria: Bayelsa Election - Sylva Not Dickson, Attempted to Bribe Bayelsa REC, Group as Alleges

By Blessing Obineche

The Bayelsa State Justice Forum, has taken a swipe at the All Progressives Congress (APC), over the claim, that the Governor of Bayelsa and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), offered a bribe of two hundred million Naira, to the State's Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr. Baritor Kpagih to manipulate the outcome of the December 2015 governorship election in the State, in favor of the PDP.

The Forum through its Coordinator, Pastor Markson Konugha in a release sent to journalists in Yenegoa, described as false, spurious and baseless, the alarmist cry by the APC, accusing the REC and Governor Seriake Dickson, in the alleged scandal.

Reacting to the allegation, Pastor Konugha who laughed off the APC allegation being made through one of its front in INEC, Mr Francis Asmakia Tedobserved that while it was not necessary to join issues with the APC, a party which has already lost the governorship election in Bayelsa State, and is reputed to thrive on propaganda and blackmail, it was pertinent to set the records straight so that the unsuspecting public is not misled and misinformed by the APC.

The Group's Coordinator said the bribe story only exists in the imagination of its authors. He challenged the APC to present evidence of how the alleged sum of N200m was handed to the INEC's REC by Governor Seriake Dickson, through whom, and by what channel it was transmitted.

The group berated the APC for what he termed its provocative acts of mudslinging, in a desperate bid to manipulate the outcome of the rescheduled elections in the Southern Ijaw Local government area of the State, scheduled for January 9th, 2016, which it said, will not work.

The group also disclosed that it was aware that investigation is ongoing into the claim by Mr. Baritor Kpagih that some influential politicians attempted to bribe him before the December 2015 Governorship election, as information has it already, that the APC governorship candidate, Chief Timipre Sylva did actually approached the REC, through his wife with a cash sum of One million US Dollars which was out rightly rejected by Mrs. Kpaghi.

The group however called on all Bayelsans and supporters of Governor Seriake Dickson to remain steadfast and continue to support the PDP administration in the state to deliver on its agenda of economic development, job and wealth creation, as well as industrialisation.

By Blessing Obineche

The Bayelsa State Justice Forum, has taken a swipe at the All Progressives Congress (APC), over the claim, that the Governor of Bayelsa and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), offered a bribe of two hundred million Naira, to the State's Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr. Baritor Kpagih to manipulate the outcome of the December 2015 governorship election in the State, in favor of the PDP.

The Forum through its Coordinator, Pastor Markson Konugha in a release sent to journalists in Yenegoa, described as false, spurious and baseless, the alarmist cry by the APC, accusing the REC and Governor Seriake Dickson, in the alleged scandal.

Reacting to the allegation, Pastor Konugha who laughed off the APC allegation being made through one of its front in INEC, Mr Francis Asmakia Tedobserved that while it was not necessary to join issues with the APC, a party which has already lost the governorship election in Bayelsa State, and is reputed to thrive on propaganda and blackmail, it was pertinent to set the records straight so that the unsuspecting public is not misled and misinformed by the APC.

The Group's Coordinator said the bribe story only exists in the imagination of its authors. He challenged the APC to present evidence of how the alleged sum of N200m was handed to the INEC's REC by Governor Seriake Dickson, through whom, and by what channel it was transmitted.

The group berated the APC for what he termed its provocative acts of mudslinging, in a desperate bid to manipulate the outcome of the rescheduled elections in the Southern Ijaw Local government area of the State, scheduled for January 9th, 2016, which it said, will not work.

The group also disclosed that it was aware that investigation is ongoing into the claim by Mr. Baritor Kpagih that some influential politicians attempted to bribe him before the December 2015 Governorship election, as information has it already, that the APC governorship candidate, Chief Timipre Sylva did actually approached the REC, through his wife with a cash sum of One million US Dollars which was out rightly rejected by Mrs. Kpaghi.

The group however called on all Bayelsans and supporters of Governor Seriake Dickson to remain steadfast and continue to support the PDP administration in the state to deliver on its agenda of economic development, job and wealth creation, as well as industrialisation.

\n \n By Blessing Obineche\n \n

\n The Bayelsa State Justice Forum, has taken a swipe at the All Progressives Congress (APC), over the claim, that the Governor of Bayelsa and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), offered a bribe of two hundred million Naira, to the State's Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr. Baritor Kpagih to manipulate the outcome of the December 2015 governorship election in the State, in favor of the PDP.\n

\n

\n The Forum through its Coordinator, Pastor Markson Konugha in a release sent to journalists in Yenegoa, described as false, spurious and baseless, the alarmist cry by the APC, accusing the REC and Governor Seriake Dickson, in the alleged scandal.\n

\n

\n Reacting to the allegation, Pastor Konugha who laughed off the APC allegation being made through one of its front in INEC, Mr Francis Asmakia Tedobserved that while it was not necessary to join issues with the APC, a party which has already lost the governorship election in Bayelsa State, and is reputed to thrive on propaganda and blackmail, it was pertinent to set the records straight so that the unsuspecting public is not misled and misinformed by the APC.\n

\n

\n The Group's Coordinator said the bribe story only exists in the imagination of its authors. He challenged the APC to present evidence of how the alleged sum of N200m was handed to the INEC's REC by Governor Seriake Dickson, through whom, and by what channel it was transmitted.\n
