A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode will be contesting the position of the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Fani-Kayode’s Media Adviser, Jude Ndukwe said should the position be zoned to the South-West, his principal would be among those to contest.


He also said Fani-Kayode was under pressure to run for the position.

It means the former Minister will be competing with a former Deputy National Chairman of the party, Bode George; the governorship candidate of the party in Lagos in 2015, Jimi Agbaje; and a former Minister of Education, Prof. Tunde Adeniran.

Ndukwe told Punch that consultations were still ongoing but did not rule out the possibility of the former minister running for the position.


He said, “It is far too early to make this decision but I can tell you that there is a lot of pressure on him from various quarters to run for a key position on the National Working Committee of the party.

“We are still waiting for the zoning formula and the date of the convention . It is after all that has been agreed on that we will decide whether he will run for the national chairmanship or anything else or not.

“One thing is clear though and that is that our party needs strong leadership to take on the APC Federal Government. He has that strength and passion and he has worked very hard for the party.


“He has also been defending democratic values for the last two years. Meetings and consultations are still going on so let us wait and see how it all goes.”

81-year-old Rtd Catholic Archbishop of Lagos and former President of the CAN, Anthony Cardinal Okogie, 81 in an interview with The Punch, had to say when asked about temptation; “This question of yours is one of my temptations ( laughs ).

A Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday, has ordered the remand of ex-Jigawa state governor, Saminu Turaki, in Kuje Prison, Abuja, barely five days after a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Maitama, Abuja, granted him bail.
Justice Dimgba, ordered his remand after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission re-arraigned Turaki and three companies on 32 counts of money laundering offences involving about N37bn.

The defendants were said to have committed the offences between 2006 and 2007 while the former governor was in office.

Turaki, alongside his co-defendants — INC Natural Resources Ltd., Arkel Construction Nigeria Ltd and Wildcat Construction Ltd — were earlier arraigned before the Dutse, Jigawa State Division of the Federal High Court, in 2011.

But he was said to have since evaded trial until the EFCC, acting on an arrest warrant issued against Turaki by the court in Dutse about three years ago, arrested him on July 4, 2017, at an event in Abuja.

Do drones’ characteristic lawnmower-on-helium sounds drive you batty? You’re not alone. NASA researchers have conducted a study indicating that people find drone noise more annoying than that of any ground vehicle, even when you put the two at similar volumes. It was roughly equivalent to a car being twice as close as before, according to the researchers. And while there were just 38 people in the test, none of them were told what they were hearing or what the study was accomplishing. The results seem obvious if you’ve ever heard a drone, but there’s a big question: why are they so irritating when cars create plenty of aural annoyance on their own?

It’s not necessarily the high-pitched buzz by itself. For one, most drones (with notable exceptions) are slower than cars — your irritation may grow simply because you have to put up with the sound for longer than a car speeding down the highway. Also, drone sounds are more likely to pick up rapidly (particularly during takeoff) and startle you. There’s also the simple matter of familiarity, NASA says. You’ve probably grown up listening to cars all your life, but drones are a relative novelty — you may balk at drone noises just because they still sound strange.

The findings are part of a broader look into managing low-altitude drones, and suggest there’s still a lot more work to be done before these robotic vehicles can regularly fly over busy areas. They either need to be truly quiet (not just comparable to cars) or choose flight paths that minimize the disturbance for the humans below. If that happens, though, it could lead to widespread use of drones without making you reach for a pair of earplugs.

The United Nations Resident Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Edward Kallon has said the country cannot guarantee technology-based education because over 65 per cent of the 74,280 public primary and junior secondary schools in Nigeria lack electricity.

He said this in Abuja at the 9th edition of the annual Wole Soyinka Centre Media Lecture series tagged: “Light up, Light in: Interrogating the Nexus between Electricity and Basic Education in Nigeria.”

According to Kallon, energy crisis in Africa has, and will continue to be a tragedy to the continent of Africa.

He said out of the 1.5 billion people who lack access to electricity globally, 57 per cent, amounting to 622.6 million are in Africa.

He said; “But the facts have shown that students who have access to electricity have been confirmed to perform better because they have access to modern facilities.”

On his part, the Executive Secretary of Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), Hamid Bobboye, revealed that accounts of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) in about five states have been suspended due to various reasons, including diversion of resources, among others.

Bobboye, who craved the support of stakeholders in the implementation and monitoring of UBEC mandates, revealed that the pressure to pay salaries has forced some state governments to divert grants for basic education development to salary payment and other illegal spendings.

He said all the data flying around about the out-of-school students in Nigeria cannot be correct and may be grossly inadequate; saying the need for a technology-based data generation is required and must be done pretty soon.

Also speaking, former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, lamented what she termed the gross neglect of education sector, saying there is a correlation between poverty and public school system.

She described the public school system without power supply as an intergenerational dynasty of poverty, saying there is a need to look at public expenditure.

ABUJA – The All Progressives Congress APC has explained its confusion in the face of clamour by some Nigerians for a restructuring of the country, saying it does not understand what such people mean by that.

Consequently, the party has set up a committee to come up with the party’s own definition of restructuring.

APC said the committee which is headed by the Governor of Kaduna state, Nasir el-Rufa’i is not to come up with modalities for restructuring the country but to merely define the concept as it does not understand the meaning of the concept as being bandied about by some Nigerians.

“We just finished the meeting with our governors and we considered a number of issues. They include the issue of restructuring, national convention of the party and that these regular meetings would be expanded to include principal officers of the national assembly from now on”, said the party spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi.

The party spokesperson spoke Thursday in Abuja shortly after a meeting of its National Working Committee NWC and its 24 state governors.

Flanked by the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Abubakar Yari of Zamfara state, Simon Lalong of Plateau and Yahaya Bello of Kogi, Abdullahi said; “When we talk about a committee on restructuring, what we are talking about is a committee that will articulate what APC means by restructuring because we have realised that over a couple of days now or weeks, when people use the word restructuring we don’t know if we are talking about the same thing and people have gone about saying APC promised restructuring.

“So we really need to sit down to develop a shared understanding of what we mean by restructuring in our manifesto. So this committee that is setup that will now be chaired by the governor of Kaduna is mainly to define what APC means by restructuring, so that every member will know what we exactly mean”.

Other members of the 9-member committee are governors of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, Kano, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, Plateau, Simon Lalong, Ogun, Ibikunle Amosun and a former Governor of Edo State, Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor. Others are APC National Organising Secretary, Sen. Osita Izunaso, National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi and Sen. Olubunmi Adetunmbi who would serve as secretary.

APC had on several occasions denied promising to restructure the country, explaining that it only promised ‘devolution of powers’ as well as ‘true federalism’.

The party had also recently said it could not deliver on this first item on its manifesto, saying in light of the economic situation in the country, its major priority was putting food on the table of Nigerians.

The 3 Batallion troop fighting Boko Haram were excited to have Nigeria music legend, Tuface Idibia officially known as 2Baba visit them in Maiduguri, Borno state as he embarks on a project to help the internally displaced people.

The African Queen crooner documented part of the journey on his Instagram stories as he shows the world how over 94,000 people are suffering in their own land as refugees which should definitely not be the case.

In the various IDPs, some families are seen helpless while other families in some IDPs seems to have moved on with their lives, trying their best to get things together to aid survival.

According to 2Baba, we should be grateful for the things we have, try to help others and touch a life when we can. The Naija music legend also encouraged all to download his song, ‘Hold My Hand’ to support the IDPs as we know every help will go a long way.

Tuface has also announced that Nigerian R&B music group, StylPlus will be attending The Special Charity Show, joining Waje, himself and Kelly Hansome. The show will be happening in Abuja on Saturday 22nd of July 2017 and it is a show to help raise funds for the internally displaced people living in different camps in Nigeria.

A Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the interim forfeiture of a property at Banana Island, Lagos bought for $37.5m in 2013 by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke.

Justice Chuka Obiozor, a vacation judge, made the order Wednesday following an ex parte application by a counsel for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Anselem Ozioko.

The EFCC, in documents filed in court, described the property as Building 3, Block B, Bella Vista Plot 1, Zone N, Federal Government Layout, Banana Island Foreshore Estate, has 24 apartments, 18 flats and six penthouses.

The court also ordered the temporary forfeiture of the sums of $2,740,197.96 and N84, 537,840.70, said to be part of the rent collected on the property.

The funds were said to have been found in a Zenith Bank account numbered 1013612486.

Ozioko had told the judge that the EFCC reasonably suspected that the property was acquired with proceeds of Diezani’s alleged unlawful activities.

He said the EFCC’s investigation revealed that Diezani made the $37.5m payment for the purchase of the property in cash, adding that the money was moved straight from her house in Abuja and paid into the selller’s First Bank account in Abuja.

Ozioko added:
“Nothing could be more suspicious than someone keeping such huge amounts in her apartment. Why was she doing that? To avoid attention.
“We are convinced beyond reasonable doubt because as of the time this happened, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke was still in public service as the Minister of Petroleum Resources.”

U.S. Senator John McCain was found to have a brain tumor, according to a statement released by his office.
The tumor was discovered after the former Republican presidential nominee underwent a procedure last week to remove a blood clot, U.S. media reported.

McCain has represented Arizona at the U.S. Senate since 1986.

The senator’s doctors said in the statement that McCain’s “underlying health is excellent.”

Here’s the statement:

“At the request of Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and his family, Mayo Clinic released the following statement today:
“On Friday, July 14, Sen. John McCain underwent a procedure to remove a blood clot from above his left eye at Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix. Subsequent tissue pathology revealed that a primary brain tumor known as a glioblastoma was associated with the blood clot.
“Scanning done since the procedure (a minimally invasive craniotomy with an eyebrow incision) shows that the tissue of concern was completely resected by imaging criteria.

“The Senator and his family are reviewing further treatment options with his Mayo Clinic care team. Treatment options may include a combination of chemotherapy and radiation.
“The Senator’s doctors say he is recovering from his surgery ‘amazingly well’ and his underlying health is excellent.”

Controversy has arisen over the death of a 29- year – old graduate of the University of Bauchi, Kolawole Idowu, at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.

Family members of the victim said although Kolawole died at LASUTH , they believed his condition was worsened by doctors at the Ikeja Medical Centre, a private facility on Allen Avenue, Ikeja.

PUNCH Metro gathered that Kolawole, who concluded his youth service in Lagos sometime in April, took ill a few days afterwards.

He was reported to have complained of “teary eyes and body pains” and had gone to the Ikeja Medical Centre , which was the family hospital . It was gathered that like other children of the family, he was born at the hospital.

After a doctor allegedly recommended some malaria drugs and later an eye drop, the situation was said to have worsened, leading to his admission to the hospital.

Our correspondent was told that the hospital later said he was manifesting signs of a mental illness and began treating him for “ psychosis. ”

When there was no improvement, the hospital was said to have referred him to LASUTH, where he went into a coma and later died at the Intensive Care Unit .

The victim’s brother, Kunle, told PUNCH Metro that his late brother’ s medical condition was not handled properly at the medical centre, adding that he was given some injections which affected his health.

Kunle alleged that the injections made him to misbehave, saying anytime the effect of the injections wore off, he would regain his senses, run back home and beg to be taken away from the hospital .

He explained that when he (Kunle) observed that their maternal grandparents were adamant on keeping him (Kolawole) at the hospital, he challenged them and broke some property in the house, which led to his arrest and detention.

He said, “The illness started at the end of April, about a week after his youth service. I am a politician and I was running a campaign to become a councillor at that period. Kola complained that he had been having burning sensations all over his body and his eyes had been teary. I advised him to go for a lab test, but he said he would go to our family hospital. He went to the hospital where he was given an eye drop, which he started reacting adversely to.

“He went back to the medical centre and he was told that he had malaria. The doctor prescribed a malaria drug for him. However, he started reacting negatively again to the drug. That was when the doctor said he was having fits of delirium and showing signs of dementia. ”

He explained that the doctor insisted on admitting Kolawole, but he objected, adding that the grandparents believed the doctor and supported the move.

On the first week of his admission, Kunle said he was not satisfied with his brother’ s treatment, but the hospital assured him that Kolawole needed rest.

He noted that he became concerned when Kolawole’s friends, who also visited the hospital, made similar observations. He said he asked for the victim’s transfer to another hospital.

Kunle said he met the grandparents and asked for permission to move his brother from the hosipital, but they objected due to the family’s long – time relationship with the hospital.

“I was angry with the hospital because they kept saying different things. First, it was delirium, then stress. They kept giving him injections. My brother was always saying he wanted to leave the hospital. Once he said that, they would say he had started again and give him more injections .

“I told them that my brother was not mentally ill; he wanted to leave the hospital because they didn’ t know what they were doing, ” Kunle said.

He added that because of his increasing political engagement, the time he had for Kolawole became limited.

PUNCH Metro learnt that there was a crisis in the house on May 17, 2017, when late Kolawole ran home from the hospital.

The grandparents were reported to have called a doctor at the medical centre to come with an injection for psychiatric patients to calm him down, a suggestion rejected by Kunle.

“I was angry because each time they give him the injection, he lost his senses. They (grandparents) asked me to shut up. For two weeks, that was what they told me. I was angry and I couldn’t take it again because I knew the doctor was on the way with the injection. I lost control and started shouting that they should not give him any drug.

“He was always coming home each time he realised that they were not treating him well. But my grandparents would take him back and he would obey so that he would not look like a disobedient child. The injection was killing him.

“That day, they asked the house help to lock the door. Because I could not sit down and watch him take another injection, I broke the door and left the house, ” he added.

PUNCH Metro learnt that some relatives alerted the police of Kunle ’ s action and he was detained for a day.

Kunle said after that incident, he was told that his brother’ s condition had aggravated and he had been taken to LASUTH.

He explained that Kolawole was admitted to the psychiatric ward of LASUTH , based on a referral letter from the medical centre.

Kunle said his brother was put in the same ward with patients who had serious mental problems and he spent about 10 days in the ward.

“He was later taken to the ICU where he spent two months and struggled to live. But the damage had been done because my brother had spent two weeks at the medical centre, 10 days at LASUTH psychiatric ward before he collapsed and was taken to the ICU.

“Some specialists at LASUTH later examined him and said it was not a psychotic case. They moved him to the ICU because he was at the point of death. I watched over him at the ICU for the two months.

“At one point, the seizure he was having stopped, and I thought he was getting better, not knowing my brother was dying, ” he said.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the Idowu family comprised four children – Kunle , Kolawole, Adeniyi and a younger sister who is in the United States.

The children’s father died while they were young, while their mother, Mrs. Mopelola Osiyemi, travelled to the US in 2016.

Adeniyi, who studied in the Cyprus University , got a job in Dubai where he is now based.

Kunle and Kola, however , stayed with their grandparents at their family house on Bolanle Close , Allen Avenue, not far from the Ikeja Medical Centre.

Adeniyi, who said he was on holiday in Nigeria, told PUNCH Metro that he was shocked that his brother, who laughed with him during their time together, suddenly lost control of himself and went into a coma.

While insisting that Kolawole was not a drug addict, he said he had arranged with an Iranian doctor to move him out of the country, but was told that the brother must come out of a coma before he could be flown out.

He said, “ The doctors at LASUTH told us that he was not mad; that he had bacteria which probably got into his brain. They said the medical practitioners at the first hospital messed him up.

I called a doctor friend, who said my brother had an infection called meninges and it affected his brain. She said antibiotics could have cured him .

“Each day he spent at the ICU cost us N 50,000. And that was aside the N 100,000 on drugs and another N 500 , 000 on a particular test . We spent millions of naira on treatment.

“When my brother died, we had to give out some of the drugs he didn’ t use. But my eldest brother, Kunle, decided to bring home a particular one recommended for us from the medical centre, called Haloperidol. When I googled it, I discovered that my brother manifested the exact signs stated in the abuse of the drug , including stiffness and coma , before he died . ”

PUNCH Metro was told that the deceased, who marked his 29th birthday in coma on June 23, became a graduate in 2013 after studying Accounting.

Our correspondent was told that he died around 4 pm on July 1, 2017, at the ICU of LASUTH.

“ My brother, Kolawole, has never slept at a hospital before. We want the hospital investigated. We want the government and the Nigerian Medical Association to intervene, ” Olaniyi said.

The victim’s mother, Mopelola, in an emotional message she broadcast on Whatsapp a few days to her son’ s death, alleged that the doctor who treated him apologised to the family.

“To God be the glory; this is very said. But I must tell it. I gave birth to Kolawole 29 years ago at the same hospital that administered wrong medication that has put him in a life – threatening condition. The doctor that started his treatment went to my aged father of 86 years to apologise, confessing that he gave Kolawole a wrong medication.

“I believe this is the beginning of Kolawole’s healing process. What can I do at this stage ? We are spending millions on hospital treatment in an intensive care unit because of one little mistake that shouldn’t have happened. God, you know best . Kolawole must live to testify to your glory, ” the message read.

She told our correspondent on the telephone after the son’s death that the hospital must be held accountable for the alleged mistake.

She said, “ He was never diagnosed. I don’ t know my son as a drug addict. I left Nigeria 11 months ago; are they saying he took to drugs within that period, a son I have known for a long time ? They should have conducted proper checks on him . We have spent millions of naira just because of one mistake.

“They insisted on treating him even when they lacked the competence because of the money they wanted to make from my family . ”

LASUTH’ s reaction

PUNCH Metro had a meeting with the Chief Medical Director of LASUTH, Prof. Adewale Oke, and some top principal officers of the government hospital.

Oke said there was a limit to the information that could be released due to the ethics of the medical profession.

He noted that Kolawole was examined and treated by specialists.

The hospital’s consultant psychiatrist, Dr Atilola Olayinka, said he was the first to have contact with Kolawole after he was brought to the hospital.

He said, “He came in as an emergency case and we didn’t have any other information to make us doubt the fact that it was most likely an ongoing psychiatric illness. On that basis, we received him to manage him for the illness.

“ In the course of treatment, we, however , saw other symptoms that did not jell with a pure case of psychiatric illness. We investigated and called in our medical team to review it with us. When his level of consciousness was going down, we had to move him to the ICU . ”

The consultant medical officer, one Dr Bamisile, said he observed fissures, including epileptic fits , neck stiffness and running fever.

“We saw that he could have some organic problems, apart from a functional psychosis.

The following day, I went to see him and observed that his consciousness was going. I examined and saw that there were other medical issues . He was jerking and had epileptic seizures . His neck was also stiff. He had running fever at a time, ” he added.

He explained that the deceased also had fissures and inflammation of the brain, “ which could be caused by some organism.”

At this point, Bamisile said he asked that a microbiologist and a professor of neurology attend to Kolawole.

LASUTH’s consultant neurologist , Dr Olaitan Ojelabi, said the 29- year – old appeared “ febrile, with restive signs and other symptoms, pointing at a case of meningoencephalitis
(inflammation of the linings of the brain). ”

“This condition could be caused by bacteria . To treat this, we upgraded his antibiotics, among other treatments, ” he added.

The Consultant Anaesthesia, Dr A. A. Majekodunmi, said the victim was later placed on a life – support machine.

“After about two weeks in the ICU , he started having problems with breathing and we had to put him on a ventilator to help him breathe. We repeated some investigations to find out what was wrong with him.

The family was aware of the prognosis, and they were aware when it was getting worse. We saw that he was not responding to some medications that we gave him . Eventually, we had to put him on a supportive medication for his blood pressure until he eventually died. He was on life support for about a month before he passed on, ” she said.

A professor of Neurology, Prof. Yomi Ogun , expressed sadness at the death of Kolawole, saying a partial autopsy revealed the deceased’ s brain was swollen.

He noted that nobody could tell what really killed him “ until the autopsy is subjected to histology. ”
He said, “He had inflammation of the brain. If you have meningitis, there are two signs that we look out for, which were there. And maybe, some signs of inflammation ; but we need to subject it to a histology for a definitive answer.

“When you suspect that your patient has meningitis, what you need to do is to commence a therapeutic trial of anti – TB medication. Because the moment they get unconscious , it might be difficult to reverse it and that was also done.

“By the time I got to see him, he was already in a coma. He was having convulsions all the while. We modified his treatment and he was stabilised for a few days. ”

The CMD of LASUTH, Oke, said the hospital started treatment based on the referral letter from the Ikeja Medical Centre, adding that nothing in the letter showed a case of malaria.

“ His referral letter stated categorically that he had a mental issue. There was never a question of malaria. When patients come like that, we take them as we see them and we manage them based on whatever our specialties say.

“ He had been outside our hospital for two weeks. The referral letter brought here says he had been having neuro – psychiatric symptoms, ” he added.

Efforts by our correspondent to speak with Ikeja Medical Centre were frustrated by the hospital . Its workers harassed our correspondent during a visit to the facility on Tuesday.

Senate President, Bukola Saraki, is set to declare President Muhammadu Buhari’s seat vacant, if the ailing President fails to show up, in the next 18 days.

This came into consideration on Wednesday, when a pro-democracy group laid bare plans to commence a daily sit-out at the National Assembly in 18 days, if the Legislature fails to respond to the health problem of Buhari, as prescribed by the 1999 Constitution.

In a statement released by its leader, Deji Adeyanju, and Secretary, Dr. John Danfulani, the group noted that “Buhari has now been absent from office, and from Nigeria for 72 days, and if the situation remains unchanged, it would commence the sit-out on the 90th day of his absence”.

“The Leadership of the National Assembly must choose between the Nigerian people and the cabal”, Concerned Nigerians declared.

“72 days is too long for a Commander-in-Chief to be away from his country, without any explanation to the people that voted him in”, the group said.

“We hereby, demand that the National Assembly invokes Section 144 (4) of the Nigerian Constitution, and direct the setting up of a Medical Panel, in conjunction with the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, to ascertain whether the President is incapacitated”, the statement continued.

“If the President is found with any infirmity that renders him incapable of discharging his duties, the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, shall officially declare him incapable of discharging his duties, and declare his office vacant, as prescribed in (2) of section 143”, the group declared.
