COMRADE DEJI ADEYANJU URGED THE NIGERIA SENATE NOT TO APPROVE EMEFIELE'S REAPPOINTMENT






















 

Comrade Deji Adeyanju the Human right activist urged the Nigeria senate not to approve the reappointment of Godwin Emefiele as the governor of the central bank of Nigeria (CBN)
President Muhammadu Buhari had sent a letter to the Senate requesting the upper legislative chambers to to approve the reappointment of Emefiele for a second tenure. 
This is coming after an audio leaked where the CBN governor was allegedly heard discussing with his colleagues about a business deal gone bad.

The CBN on Sunday scrambled a rebuttal to deny the report that it lost over N500 billion in private investment.
Sahara Reporters had reported a conversation involving the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele; his deputy, Edward Adamu; the Director of Finance, Dayo Arowosegbe; and the Special Adviser to the CBN Governor, Emmanuel Ukeje.
The online medium said the discussion of the top CBN officials was about a plot to cover up the huge loss after a private investment in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, went bad.
Reacting on the statement obtained by CLARONET on Thursday 16th may 2019, Deji Adeyanju stated that the entire country is fervently following the second-term screening for the reappointment of Emefiele.
The statement reads: “This screening is of particular interest to every Nigerian because it epitomizes the pinnacle of integrity-test for public servants, which must be carried out with utmost sincerity and diligence, especially at this time when our country is failing morally and institutionally.
“It must be stated that Mr Emefiele, according to reports by popular online news platform, SaharaReporters, has been alleged of mismanaging and looting public funds in the Central Bank to the tune of 500 Billion Naira. This is surely a huge disaster for the economic future of Nigeria and must not be dismissed triflingly.
“It must also be stated that due to the weighty nature of the audio recording which presently serves as the proof of Mr. Emefiele’s misconduct, and his inability to controvert the recording, the burden to salvage Nigeria from the hands of seemingly corrupt and morally deficient Public Servants like Mr Emefiele rests squarely on the Nigerian Senate and its decision during the current second-term screening of the embattled Governor.
“The Nigerian people and indeed the world over are hoping that the Eight Senate will not fall short of expectation in denying Mr Emefiele a second-term confirmation, especially because the Eight Senate had once proven its strong aversion towards anti-corruption by refusing to approve the Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mr Ibrahim Magu, due to allegations of corruption made against him by a report of the DSS.
“Indubitably, the legacy of the Eight Senate is presently at enviable heights considering the successes that have been recorded thus far, including the passage of the NotTooYoungToRun and PoliceReform Bills, among others.
“It will, therefore, be terribly retrogressive to allow whatsoever political pressure drive this lofty institution into making an anti-people and morally shameful decision of confirming Mr Godwin Emefiele for a second tenure, at the risk of subjecting Nigeria’s economic and commonwealth to more looting and plunder.
“Consequently, it must be clearly stated that the Nigerian people are expecting the Eight Senate to not only deny Mr Emefiele a second-term reappointment, but to also ensure that investigation and prosecution are duly employed to ensure justice on the matter, and deterrence in the future.
“By doing this, the Eight Senate will not only be fulfilling its obligation as a moral compass in a democracy but also as a worthy model for the Ninth Senate and others to come in future.
“The above-mentioned must be noted well as the credibility and achievements of the Eight Senate may be badly stained and diminished should it refuse to abide by the wishes of the Nigerian people by denying Mr Emefiele a reappointment.
“Also, the mobilization of angry citizens might inevitably follow if the Eight Senate confirms Mr Emefiele for a second term. Hopefully, the Eight Senate will use its unalloyed wisdom to do what is right in the best interest of the Nigerian people and the entire country.
“In conclusion, therefore, I use this medium to call on President Buhari and the EFCC chairman to prove that they are interested in really fighting corruption and not only members of the opposition.”

Columbia Sportswear Is Ready to Pass on Trump Tariffs to Consumers

Columbia Sportswear Co.  is feeling the pain from the U.S. trade war with China, and if the situation intensifies, Chief Executive Officer Tim Boyle says consumers will feel it too. The Trump administration’s latest tariff proposal on goods imported from China has forced the outdoor-gear and apparel maker to spend more time managing its supply chain than its sales operations, Boyle said in an interview on Bloomberg TV. The levies have also led him to put distribution projects on hold. We will pass on the prices if we have to,” Boyle said. “Again, this is a tax on commodities that American consumers are going to be consuming, so yes these taxes will be passed on.” The company had been  largely spared financial pain  in the initial rounds of tariffs. But the ongoing dispute has sucked up hours and resources it hadn’t planned for. Earlier this month, the U.S. proposed 25% tariffs on an additional $300 billion of goods from China, including apparel and footwear. Boyle said the company has
