El-Zakzaky

So much has been said about the December 12 confrontation between the Nigerian Army and members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria led by Sheik Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, the leader of the Shia in Nigeria. I guess the point has been well-made that there are faults on both sides. There seems to be a consensus, however, that the followers of Ali, better known as Shiites or the Shia, seem to enjoy confrontations with the state and seem determined to disregard dominant authority- Islamic and secular.

Jacob Zuma, South African President

SOUTH AFRICA has had three finance ministers in less than a week. The first, Nhlanhla Nene, a respected technocrat, was “redeployed” after he objected to wild spending plans. One clash involved the chairman of South African Airways, Dudu Myeni, who wanted the state carrier to buy aeroplanes via an unnamed middleman. Local press speculated that Ms Myeni was one of the president’s mistresses. Jacob Zuma issued a public denial. He replaced Mr Nene with a nonentity: a backbench MP and former small-town mayor called David van Rooyen. The rand promptly plummeted 9%. Over the weekend Mr Zuma dropped Mr van Rooyen and replaced him with Pravin Gordhan, a safe pair of hands who has done the job before. Problem solved? Not by a long shot.

#DasukiGate: See The Faces of The Accused in Court today

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, will today arraign the embattled former National Security Adviser, NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd), before an Abuja High Court on fresh charges bordering on alleged illegal diversion of public funds.

Col. Sambo Dasuki

■ The can of worms, the politics

He was in reticent hibernation, enjoying the quietude of retirement from active military service when some three odd years ago, he emerged on the scene as National Security Adviser. The upsurge in insurgency in the North-east, the rising outcry of xenophobia by a critical section of the North against the regime of ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, and the near implacable desire to steady the course of security machinery in the country defined his appointment.

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, hereby reiterates its support for a honest, holistic and total war against corruption and we demand the trial and prosecution of all those involved, including those who may have returned ‘loots’ to the government.
