The Ogun State government has labeled allegations made by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate Ladi Adebutu against Governor Dapo Abiodun as baseless and desperate attempts to stay relevant.

Adebutu claimed that Abiodun couldn’t account for local government funds over the last five years, but the government insists that the governor didn’t touch local government funds.

A statement from the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Strategy, Hon Kayode Akinmade, noted that Adebutu is under investigation for electoral violence and attempted murder, and has a history of making empty claims.

The government views Adebutu’s actions as a “sinking ship” trying to drag others down.

THE Senate has invoked the provisions of Section 157 (1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended and sacked Yakubu Danladi Umar as the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT for what it described as unacceptable acts of misconductAccording to the Senate, it became imperative to remove him from that sensitive position because his actions were unbecoming of a holder of such an office and his level of gross misconduct no longer acceptable.The sack of Umar as Chairman of CCT was sequel to two third of Senators as 74 members signed, 10 senators present, totally 84 Senators.

The Senate had at 1.17pm gone into a closed door session on the matter that was listed as the first motion in the order paper and soon after the came out of the closed door session at 2,36pm, the Senate Whip, Senator Mohammed Tahir Monguno, APC, Borno North moved that the action can be carried out in line with Section 157 (1) of the Constitution.

The motion to sack Umar as CCT Chairman was moved in the Order Paper by the Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, APC, Ekiti Central.

It was titled, “Invocation of the provision of Section 157 (1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended for the removal of the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal.”

According to Bamidele, ‘The Senate: Notes that the Code of Conduct Tribunal is one of the key components of Federal Institutions in the country, saddled with the sacred statutory responsibilities of maintaining high standard of morality in the conduct of government business and to ensure that the actions and behaviours of public officers conform to the highest standards of public morality and accountability;

“Also notes that a statutory institution of such magnitude is expected to be an epitome of moral rectitude and should be seen to uphold the virtues of integrity, probity and accountability. However, the conduct of Mr. Yakubu Danladi Umar, who is the Chairman of the Tribunal has fallen short of the requisite standard of a public officer to conduct the affairs of such Tribunal;

“Concerned that the Senate has been inundated with series of petitions and allegations of corruption/misconduct against the Chairman, a situation that necessitated the 9th Senate, through the Senate Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct and Public Petitions to invite him to series of its investigative hearings in order to unravel the circumstances surrounding those allegations.

However, he appeared before the Committee only once and thereafter avoided subsequent invitations;

“Also concerned about his alleged absenteeism from office for more than one month, without permission and recuse to his position, coupled with preponderance of corruption allegation, misappropriation, and physical street brawl with a security man in the FCT vis-à-vis his current investigation by the EFCC, ICPC and the DSS. All these are tantamount to acts of negligence and gross misconduct, unbecoming of a Chairman of such a reputable Tribunal;

“Aware of the series of overwhelming allegations against the Chairman, Mr. President, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, forwarded the name of Mr. Abdullahi Usman Bello to the Senate for confirmation as the new Chairman of the Tribunal, and at the Plenary Sitting of the Senate on Thursday, 4th July, 2024, his appointment was duly confirmed, hence the need for the erstwhile Chairman to vacate the office for the substantive Chairman to officially resume office.”

Owerri – The Medical and Dental Consultants Association of Nigeria, MDCAN, on Wednesday said they embarked on nation wide strike because the Federal Government had refused to address their demands.

This was revealed to newsmen, by the Chairman of MDCAN, Federal Teaching Hospital Owerri, Dr Samuel Emdin, while reading the statement signed by ,MDCAN, National President and Secretary, Mohammad Aminu Mohammad and Prof. Daiyabu Alhaji lbrahim respectfully.

He pointed out that trouble started when the National Executive Council, NEC, of MDCAN, after their extra-ordinary meeting observed that federal government was yet to address what they described as reckless and utter disregard to due process by the Governing Council Chairman of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, regarding the position of the VC of the institution.

Therefore, it was their resolve that; “The Federal Government Should Immediately relieve the Chairman of the Governing Council of Nnamdi Azikiwe University of his appointment as council chairman, for his insubordination and to enforce the Ministry of Education’s directive nullifying any appointments subsequent to their directives.

“Federal Government to develop an all-Inclusive prototype of advertisement for Office of Vice Chancellor.The advertisement for the Office of Vice Chancellor as recently issued by Ahmadu Bello University Zaria may serve as prototype.”

Other demands by the body centered on the “harmonization of the retirement age of Medical Consultants to 70 years.

“The harmonization of payment of emoluments of Medical Lecturers with the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS), in order to ensure universal applicability of CONMESS to all Medical and Dental officers.

“Payment of 2023 and 2024, Clinical Duty Allowance arrears, and 2023 25% /35% CONMESS arrears” he added that; “The MDCAN NEC will reconvene on Sunday 24th November 2024 at 8.00 pm to reassess the situation and progress made to chart the next course of action.”

The government explained in a statement on Wednesday that its action followed “grave breaches of the laws governing the university and disregard for lawful directives from the Federal Ministry of Education.”

“The decision comes after it was found that the Chairman of the Governing Council unilaterally appointed a Vice-Chancellor who did not meet the minimum eligibility criteria for the position. This led to a breakdown of law and order within the university community, causing tension and disharmony, “the statement which was issued by the Federal Ministry of Education, through its Director, Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade, said.

According to the statement,”The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, emphasized that urgent measures were needed to prevent further deterioration of the situation at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, as the illegal decisions taken by the Governing Council posed a significant risk of further destabilizing the institution.”
