2019: What HRM Tor Tiv IV, Prof. James Ayatse, Is Saying About Nigeria's Presidential election

-

As we approach the country's general elecion in 2019. The Tor Tiv IV, and  Chairman of the Benue State Traditional Council, Prof. James Ayatse, has declared that it was high time the middle belt region produced the president of Nigeria.

 The traditional ruler made this declaration on Saturday when a former Nigerian Ambassador to Canada, Prof. Iyorwuese Hagher, paid him a courtesy visit on his intentions to run for president. The Tor Tiv told him it was the turn of central Nigeria to produce the president, after years of sacrifice for national unity and stability.

 He said, “Election in Nigeria is not all about money; there is something Nigerians are looking for.

 “We have been on our own for over 50 years. The Middle Belt has suffered for the unity of Nigeria, yet power continues to rotate between the South and the far North; power has not resided with us in the Middle Belt since the civil rule era. So, I think it’s about time a Middle Belt person led Nigeria.”

 Hagher, who was accompanied by a former Nigerian Ambassador to Argentina, Mr. Chive Kaave, told the monarch that, “There is too much poverty in the land.”
“Nigeria needs a man who will totally submit himself to the will of the people and build a nation where everyone will live together as one,” he said.

A new vaccine-based treatment for HIV has succeeded in suppressing the virus in five patients, raising hopes further research could help prevent Aids without the need for daily drugs. Independent of the United Kingdom reported on Friday that researchers combined two innovative HIV vaccines with a drug usually used to treat cancer in the trial, conducted over three years at the IrsiCaixa Aids Research Institute in Barcelona. After receiving the treatment, the virus was undetectable in five out of 24 participants and its spread was stopped by their immune systems, reported the New Scientist. One of them has been drug-free for seven months. Around 18 million people – half of all those living with HIV around the world – take ART to slow the progression of the infection, according to the UN. But these drugs are expensive and can cause unpleasant side effects. Patients have to remember to take them every day, sometimes over their entire lives. Mitchell Warren, executive dire...

Nigeria's imediate past minister of Finance ,Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been indicted by the Nigerian senate over a N1.7t loss in revenue. According to the Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Alleged Misuse, Under-Remittance and Other Fraudulent Activities, revenue agencies short-changed the Federal Government to the tune of N1.7tn as unremitted revenue generated between 2012 and 2016. The panel blamed it on a memo by a former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who allegedly issued the memo to the agencies to remit 25 per cent of revenue they generated to the Federal Government and spend 75 per cent on their expenditures. An interim report by the committee chaired by Senator Olamilekan Adeola, details this. The panel said the amount to be remitted to the Federal Government during the period by 93 agencies it investigated was N21.5tn. It alleged that 25 of the 93 agencies covered defrauded the government of a total of N1,695,585,887,406.
