<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, has continued to keep the list of his proposed cabinet members and other political appointees secret, two weeks after he was inaugurated for second term in office on May 29 and dissolved his cabinet.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are reports that many personalities are lobbying for various positions and have grown restless over Mr. Amosun’s disposition. They now wait anxiously for the announcement.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, majority of the former commissioners and political office holders still attend Mr. Amosun’s functions. It is not certain if they were invited on official capacity or if they are acting to promote themselves for vacant positions in Mr. Amosun’s cabinet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of the lobbyists and godfathers who sent either their names or names of their candidates spoke to <i>PREMIUM TIMES</i> under the condition of anonymity to protect their interest. They said they do not know their fate and continue to anxiously wait for the governor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As at the time of this report, the governor has only been able to re-appoint the Secretary to the State Government, Taiwo Adeoluwa. Mr. Adeoluwa is regarded as one of the close associates of the governor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Amosun said Mr. Adeoluwa was re-appointed because he performed creditably.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The only reason for your re-appointment was because you worked well. We have to continue to demonstrate that we mean well for our people by giving them things that will make life more comfortable,” the governor said.</div>

ICC Arrest Warrant: Court Bans Sudanese President From Leaving South Africa

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A South African court on Sunday issued a temporary ban on Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir from leaving the country after the International Criminal Court (ICC) called for his arrest at a summit of African leaders in Johannesburg.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A court statement said it was "compelling respondents to prevent President Omar Al-Bashir from leaving the country until an order is made in this court".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A hearing in Pretoria High Court is set to take place later Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ruling came after the Southern African Litigation Centre, a legal rights' group, launched an urgent court application to force the authorities to arrest Bashir.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bashir, who is wanted over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Darfur conflict, mostly travels to countries that have not joined the ICC, but South Africa is a signatory of the court's statutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A South African government official at the African Union summit confirmed media reports that Bashir was at the event, but he declined to give further details.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ICC said in a statement from its headquarters in The Hague that it "calls on South Africa... to spare no effort in ensuring the execution of the arrest warrants" against Bashir.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Like every human, talent doesn't pay the bills only bosses pay salaries that pay bills. They have had series of protest in different locations by workers and staff but still no head way from <i>Oga</i> as he is fondly called.  Days have become weeks still Raymond Dokpesi has said nothing to the workers of his organization and believe me when I say patience would definitely run out for staff of AIT and her sister stations.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Read the account of a Staff of Daar Communications who decided to reach out to <a href="http://www.omojuwa.com/"><b>Omojuwa</b></a> with the whole story so the public can know the inhumane treatment that staff and workers of the station that many Nigerians are loyal to go through.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What you read from the next line are the words of a concerned member of staff of Daar Communications:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is groaning, anguish and pain among us. These are results of the insensitivity of DAAR COMM’s management. Many of us are being owed up to 17 months salary, but management seem not to care. Instead, they would rather call for workers to “right-off” arrears. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is more worrisome, that, Dokpesi, the one now called emeritus chairman is seen donating millions of dollars to some other radio stations that was attacked recently, hosting Jonathan to multi million naira dinner and buying exotic cars for his girlfriends, while his workers languish for lack of payment of salary, their due entitlement after every month. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is sad that this company never pays his workers at the right time. Everyone is being owed, apart from those in management level who eat fat at the detriment of committed staff, the least three months. This gross insensitivity was the reason AIT’s operational attempt in the USA some years ago failed. They owed the staff they hired in America and the authorities there shut the station down. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This can only happen in Nigeria, where there no serious regulation and monitoring.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
WE NEED HELP! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are suffering in silence!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are subjected to rigorous work without the right or adequate resources, it is expected of us to make “sacrifices”, it shouldn’t be like this. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is slavery. Underpaid, yet the peanut is not released in due time, and compelled to work under excruciating conditions disguised as “sacrifices”. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another issue is the scam called DAAR COMMS PLC public offer. Many bought shares about 6 years ago. Up till today, no single person, out of the thousands that parted with money has received dividends nor do we hear of annual AGMs. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We can not say all, for they are too many. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We members of staff of DAAR Communications under the aegis of “Enough is Enough Group” wishes to call on relevant authorities, especially President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigerian Labour Congress and Trade Union to please look into this company that treats its workers as slaves. </div>

Kindly help copy and post this on Facebook, BBM platforms, whatsapp platform until it reaches those who can help us. </div>

[OPINION]: Tinubu And The Parable Of The ‘First Supper’ - By Mohammed Adamu

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcX6h765FrTlh3X-Wp-yyrXfhGhHy9FzTemkalGPXwT9J58eXlvpWEAHs0Fh9Avv5sIPuVf5RLaZMA6c4JTtOGX5-Db7m_RdFWNIR4EeO1thIfSbY8e5V5F-FH2_zi9pUsaUEW8eZ5EIIX/s1600/Tinubu2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="433" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcX6h765FrTlh3X-Wp-yyrXfhGhHy9FzTemkalGPXwT9J58eXlvpWEAHs0Fh9Avv5sIPuVf5RLaZMA6c4JTtOGX5-Db7m_RdFWNIR4EeO1thIfSbY8e5V5F-FH2_zi9pUsaUEW8eZ5EIIX/s640/Tinubu2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>When I wrote the piece: ‘Tribute to Tinubu: A Parody of Shakespeare,’ a few friends and colleagues said I was un-characteristically ‘patronising’. Some wondered if I too had not fallen for the Tinubu ‘cult of the personality’; or as one of them put it, ‘cult of the insatiable power-seeker’. And to quite a few of those friends and colleagues whose opinion about my professional integrity I do give a damn about, I did vouchsafe some cogent explanation: first I said that even as I was sure they knew me not to ‘advocate for the devil’, yet they should not forget that I was not one either not to ‘give the devil his due’.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I should say, for the records, that I believed and I still do- that Tinubu deserved that tribute which I paid to him; that I still think him worthy of all the sentiments contained therein and that I still feel proud that I wrote that piece. Tinubu has fathered a peaceful political revolution in Nigeria which has not only moved our democracy beyond a notch by its shattering of the myth of the invincibility of incumbency, but it has saved the nation from the malignance of a ruinous era of political impunity which was bent on balkanising our country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And let me say that if Tinubu, afterwards should, for any reason lend the instrumentation of his time, his prowess and his resources in the promotion of any contrary ideal odious or antithetical to the noble one of growing our democracy and developing our nation, I should also, with a measure of antipathy equal to the enthusiasm with which I had praised him, deploy the venom of my pen to harangue and to dis-approbate him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But come to think of it, if you ask me whether I think Tinubu is ‘evil’ politically, I should answer as much with the affirmative ‘yes’ as with the negative ‘no’. For as ‘beauty is in the eyes of the beholder’, logically-speaking I think, so should ‘ugliness’ be also ‘in the eyes of the beholder’. And so to a bitter PDP whose defeat the Asiwaju’s deft, adept and adroit politics had caused, Tinubu is most definitely ‘evil’; and thus in the subjective eyes of members of PDP, Tinubu is uglier than the mythical Gorgon. But to the APC whose political fortunes Tinubu’s (even if) neo-Machiavellic master-tactic has now raised from ‘nothing’ to ‘everything’, the Jagaban is most definitely no ‘evil’ but ‘good’ and thus in the objective eyes of sincere members of APC, Tinubu should be the personification of beauty itself politically that is.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alas, as we see presently in the treacherous hustle and jostle for political positions, this is not so with the hawks and vultures in the APC who now masquerade as altruistic progressive change-agents of the Buhari government. To these neo-conservative opportunists, all of a sudden, ‘Asiwaju’ ‘The Leader’ is now simply Tinubu ‘The meddlesome interloper’! He is as they now claim ‘unnecessarily interfering with our democratic processes’ and must thus be cut to size. And on this you cannot but have a sense of the poignantly disgusting and the de ja vu, especially if you recall what the then Rhodesia’s oppressive head Colonist Ian Smith said to the anti-colonial world of the 70s about Zimbabweans: “These blacks are spoiling my democracy!” ‘My democracy indeed!’</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Or maybe if you have some appreciable knowledge of the UPN’s Second Republic politics when the then ‘Adedibu’ of that era’s Ibadan politics, Adelabu Adegoke, after a resounding UPN victory achieved through the instrumentation of  Adelabu’s political enfant terrible, was told plainly by Awo that since he had no western education, he could not be a commissioner!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though academics is not the basis of this comparison, Adelabu’s reply aptly typifies, today, the mentality of those who have contributed next to nothing to the birth and ascendancy of APC, but whose hubris is now questioning the leadership of the man who almost singlehandedly formed, midwifed and nurtured it to power.  Adelabu was said to have asked rhetorically in Yoruba: <i>“Adiye da lori iresi, sugbon ko da npalo?”</i>, meaning: ‘So cooked chicken is good sitting atop a bowl of rice, but a live one is not good to grace the hallow of the parlor?’</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They said that the Asiwaju wants to install surrogate leaders for the legislature so he can remote-control them. And I say: ‘assuming, without conceding, that this is true, to what end, if we may ask, would Tinubu want to remote-control the NASS?’ Is it to prevent it from passing good progressive bills that will give effect to the promise of ‘change’ by Buhari? Or is it to egg the NASS on to anti-Buhari tantrums so that the General’s government cannot effectively function? I really don’t get it!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And I even wonder more: did they not invest Tinubu with all the sobriquets and appellations of a ‘Leader’? Did they not say that he was the courageous ‘Jagaban,’ the one who led from the front? And did Tinubu not lead them from the front, selflessly giving his time, his energy and his resources? Did he not put his life on the line of a hysterically dangerous incumbency desperately angling to keep power by hook or crook? Did they not say that Tinubu’s was a goal-oriented and decisively go-getting ‘Leadership’?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And need one also ask: did we not, to the occasional rousing applause of Nigerians, see them severally winning one political battle after another under the leadership of the Jagaban? From when Tinubu fought to win series of judicial victories to restore the political control of the South West into the hands of the progressives; a feat which gave the earliest fillip to the initiative for the formation of a formidable coalition of opposition political parties?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Did we not see the series of political mutations afterwards initiated and set in motion from the pre-natal stages, the singular efforts of one man to corral several ideological eggs into one political embryo, so as to give life to a new all-embracing political Party around which both progressives and even repentant fascists could congregate to make practicable what was thought well-nigh impossible, namely enacting the parting of the political Red Sea to say to the behemoth PDP ‘let my people go!’</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But maybe what we were seeing from aloof was different from what exactly was happening within! But I thought that we all saw Tinubu burning the political candle through nights and nights of vigils to disprove all the known theories of war which posit that more than one battle cannot be fought at a time; I thought we saw the Asiwaju take on both INEC and government in a proxy war with surrogate usurpers of the baptismal of the new political ideology, the A-P-C! -and which he won!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We thought that we saw Tinubu walk the miles from the North West to the North East; from North Central to the South East and from the South West to the South-South to build strong bridges of geo-ethnic and geo-political consensus; planning and strategising to form alliances, to create leagues of political amity and to  search out for men and women of weight and of mettle; political and non-political actors with diverse gifts and varying competences, to man the many points of the opposition’s political rudder.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These efforts were rewarded with successes in the creation of the first ever successful merger, the formation of the first ever peoples Party, the conduct of one of the most transparent Party Primaries, the emergence of the most popular presidential candidate, the running of the most competitive presidential electioneering campaigns, and the first ever defeat of incumbency by an opposition party in one of the most transparent presidential elections.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But now that the political dinner table is set, surrounded, unfortunately, by opportunistic political vultures and hyenas, they are telling us that although Tinubu is an excellent political cook, he is not as good in the culinary art of dishing. That the Party Leader must stay away from the Party’s First Political Supper! In fact, like Caesar, they accused the Asiwaju of ambition. The same Tinubu who had publicly announced that Buhari had offered him a chance to be on the presidential ticket an offer which he said he politely declined.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tinubu does not deserve this kind of treatment. The Asiwaju as the Party Leader and the party are the veritable taproots of Mr. President. If they who care about Mr. President’s success are left at the mercy of the Party’s vultures and hyenas who only care about the spoils of politics, sooner or later the shrub of the presidency and its blooming foliage will feel the wilt. It is both morally and politically expedient that Buhari steps in to restore rank discipline and to assure the Asiwaju and the party hierarchy that he has ‘got their back’; just like they, through thick and thin, had always had Mr. President’s back.</div>
