APC Kicks Over alleged Planned UK Protest Against Tinubu

The leadership of All Progressives Congress, APC UK Chapter has warned against a planned protest against President Bola Tinubu in London.
According to APC UK, such a move remains a misadventure.
Mr Tunde Doherty, Chairman of the UK chapter of the ruling party, disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Lagos.
Doherty, who is also the APC Committee of Diaspora Chairmen, said he felt compelled to respond to the recent allegations and statements made by a group led by Aisha Yesufu, an activist and a supporter of the Labour Party.
He stated that the group was planning to stage the protest in London to propagate their claims about the educational credentials of the president.
“It has come to our attention that this group is organising a protest in London to propagate unfounded claims about the educational credentials of President Bola Tinubu.
 
“We firmly believe our responsibility is to address this matter and underscore the significance of relying on substantiated facts over premature and unsubstantiated allegations.
 
“President Bola Tinubu, a seasoned and distinguished statesman, has a long and illustrious track record of serving our great nation.
 
“Throughout his career, he has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the betterment of Nigeria and its people.
 
“The allegations of forged certificates not only lack concrete evidence but also undermine the spirit of democracy and fair political discourse that we hold dear,” Doherty said.

Tinubu, EFCC Given 7-day Ultimatum To Release Emefiele

President Bola Tinubu has been given an ultimatum to release embattled former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, from the Economic and Financial Crime Commission’s (EFCC) custody.
Convener of the Coalition of Civil Society for Defence of Human Rights, Yusuf Maje gave the 7-day ultimatum in Abuja on Thursday.
The group described the arrest of Emefiele by EFCC as unreasonable and a show of overzealousness.
They subsequently gave President Bola Tinubu a seven-day ultimatum to release Emefiele or charge him to court.
Recall that Emefiele was taken into custody by the EFCC immediately after his release from the Department of State Service (DSS) on October 25.
Reacting to the development, Maje said Emefiele’s travails in the hands of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration are a witch hunt.
According to him, “We submit that his further arrest amounts to double jeopardy. It is overzealousness by EFCC and a waste of government-scarce resources to subject an innocent citizen to such an ordeal just “to teach him a lesson”. Public members are worried that EFCC has allowed itself to be used as an instrument of oppression rather than the anti-corruption agency that it ought to be.
 
“We state authoritatively that the tossing of Godwin Emefiele like a football in the field from one government agency to another in the name of investigation is unacceptable and will be frontally resisted. We reject this Gestapo way of doing things because Nigeria is no longer under a military junta where the rights of innocent citizens can be abruptly suspended. Granted that President Tinubu is doing everything possible to rid the country of corruption and reposition the same on the path of economic growth and sustainable development through his Renewed Hope Agenda.
 
“On a final note, we hereby demand that Godwin Emefiele should be released from EFCC detention or charged to court Within the Next seven from today. In the unlikely event that this demand is not met, then the Federal Government will have the overwhelming population of our Coalition to contend with across the country.”

Lionel Messi Names The Four Players He Thinks Will Win The Ballon d’Or in Future

Argentine international, Lionel Messi has named four players he thinks will win the Ballon d’Or in the coming years.
Recall that Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo fought for the award for 15 years.
The Inter Miami player recently set a new record by winning his eighth award last night in Paris, extending his number of trophies over his Portuguese rival.
He saw off competition from Manchester City, Erling Haaland and PSG’s Kylian Mbappe to win the award.
Asked who he thinks could be the next to win the award, Messi told L’Equipe ‘For a few years, we have seen players that can win it coming through.
 
‘It could be hotly contested in the coming years with players like Haaland, Mbappé and Vinicíus Juinor. 
 
‘There are lots of young players that will fight for the Ballon d’Or. I also think that Lamine Yamal, who is still very young but who has already played very well with Barcelona and has become an important player [could compete]. 
 
‘There will certainly be others who will fight for it as well with other players yet to appear. It will be a new era.’

Arrest Warrant: Court Gives Emefiele January 25 to Appear Over $53m Debt

Former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele has been given until January 25 to appear in court to explain circumstances surrounding the $53 million-judgment debt arising from the Paris Club refund.
A Federal High Court in Abuja presided by Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a short ruling on Tuesday, gave Emefiele another opportunity to appear in court in person or an arrest warrant issued against him.
The development followed a plea by Emefiele and CBN’s counsel, Audu Anuga, SAN, that all efforts to ensure that his client appeared in person on the order of the court were unsuccessful as he was still in custody.

Anuga informed the court that an affidavit to show cause on why arrest warrant should not be issued against Emefiele was filed on October 30.
Justice Ekwo then asked I.A. Nnana, the lawyer who represented Mr Joe Agi, SAN, the judgment creditor/applicant in the suit, if he had been served with the affidavit.
Nnana responded that they were served on Monday, almost at the close of work and that they would like to react.
The judge, who cautioned Anuga against late filing of processes, reminded that the matter came up on July 19.
The senior lawyer, however, explained that all efforts were made until Friday (Oct. 27) to ensure that Emefiele was released on order of the court but the order was not complied with, which necessitated the filing of the affidavit.
Anuga, however, told the court that since parties had been exploring settlement before and the CBN had a new governor, they should be allowed to explore settlement option.
But Justice Ekwo insisted that Emefiele must appear on the next adjourned day.
 
“As for the 4th respondent (Emefiele), I have always said, contempt proceedings follow a person whether the person Is still there or not.
 
“In this case, I have given this particular person so much liberty, so much leniency and the situation does not seem to change.
 
“I will adjourn the matter because the other side says they want to react to the process so there is no much talk.
 
“Order of court must be complied with and even if no one complies with the order of the court, the court must comply with its order.
 
“I will give you sufficient time,” he said.
The judge, consequently, adjourned the matter until Jan. 25 for Emefiele to show cause why an arrest warrant should not be issued against him.

Lagos State Government Shuts Down 34 Companies Over N356M Tax Debts

Thirty-four corporate organisations have been shut down by the Lagos State government for failing to remit Personal Income Taxes of their employees as well as non-remittance of Consumption Taxes, amounting to N356.12 million by operators in the hospitality sector, to the State government.

According to the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS), some of these companies include: NTS Nigeria Ltd., Med-In Hospital & Pharma Services Ltd., Danvic Petroleum Int’l Ltd., Business Intelligence Technology, Avaya Nigeria Ltd., Gladstone Tech Ltd., Courier Plus Services Ltd., Kurioucity Ltd., Medilag Ventures Ltd., Future Oilfields, and Seven Six & Ten Limited.

Also, 23 hotels, restaurants, and event facilities were also closed for failure to deduct and remit Consumption taxes. These businesses include; Blitz Suites & Hotel, Offshoroomz Hotel, God’s Grace Hotel, De Orange Place Ltd., De Santos Hotel, Kentade Hotel Limited, Chamcee, Chelsea Suites, Falode Hotels, High Climax Hotel, Chez Moi Apartment, Excellence Hotel, Bereans Venture (Tantalizer Ebute Metta), La Avril Hotel & Suites, De Orange Place Ltd., Milaco Guest House, New World Inn, Model Motels Ltd, Rely Maritime Ltd, 4 Seasons Hotel, Dream Land Hotel, 343 North Restaurant and Lounge, and Jade Palace Chinese Restaurant.

The LIRS director of Legal Services, Mr. Seyi Alade, during  a state-wide tax law enforcement exercise conducted by the Service in Lagos on Monday, said that the tax liabilities of these companies and hotels amounted to more than N356.12 million, saying, their actions have caused the State government loss of revenue.

He explained that the agency had previously reduced its enforcement activities to promote voluntary compliance by taxpayers. However, he said, certain companies and hotels chose to engage in tax evasion, adding that the renewed enforcement activities of the Service are targeted at such companies, restaurants, hotels, and event centres.

Alade said that, “these companies deduct Personal Income taxes from their employees’ salaries at the end of each month, and charge consumption taxes on goods and services purchased by customers.

“Unfortunately, some unpatriotic firms choose to withhold these payments, illegally converting the funds for their own use.”
