Prominent Ijaw leader and National Coordinator of the Ijaw Monitoring Group (IMG), Comrade Joseph Evah, has advised the federal government not to use force on pro-Biafran protesters.
Evah made the appeal in Lagos this weekend, noting that the use of force would not only be counter-productive but also escalate the crisis, Daily Sun reports.
He said: ”I implore the Federal Government not to contemplate the use of force against Biafran protesters.
The use of force will aggravate the problem.
”I urge President Muhammadu Buhari to adopt dialogue approach.
It is within the ambit of the constitutional rights of people to protest and demonstrate.
”What these protesters are doing is not illegal as long as they are not violent or take up arms against the state.
But it is better to solve the problem now through dialogue before it worsens.
It is better to jaw-jaw than to war-
war.”
Expatiating on why he wants the federal government to explore the dialogue option, Evah said: ”The use of force will never work.
Force can’t work.
”It is not the solution because history has shown that at the end of the day, it is dialogue that is embraced as tool of resolution in many crises.
”Look at the agitations by the people of Niger- Delta over issues relating to environmental degradation as a result of oil exploration.
”Initially when the Abacha government murdered late Ken Saro- Wiwa, they thought by doing that they would be able to suppress the people, but the reverse was the case as the agitations became more pronounced, and later became violent with the militants taking to the creeks before the later former President Umaru Ya’adua’s administration called for dialogue.
“As for the Boko Haram, it started in a little way, but instead of the government of the day to explore the dialogue option, it failed to do so, and
the problem became monstrous.
”Let our leaders be good students of history, they should not listen to bad advisers.
The Biafraprotesters have some grievances; why not dialogue with their leaders to find a solution to the problem? Federal government should be careful about how the case is handled.”
It will be recalled that pro-Biafra supporters has been carrying out processions in Rivers, Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia and Delta states.
Meanwhile, eight persons including a female, involved in pro-Biafra protest that grounded the streets of Port Harcourt were recently arraigned by the police before a Chief Magistrate’s Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers state.
In a related development, the Nigerian army has warned agitators clamouring for the state of Biafra that the long arm of the law will soon catch up with them.

The Punch reports that the current remuneration packages approved by the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), is
guided by the Remuneration Act of 2007.
In June 2015, the RMAFC set in motion the process for the downward review of the existing salaries and allowances of political, public and judicial office holders.
The review became imperative following dwindling government revenues caused by falling prices in the
international oil market.
New packages prepared by the committee have been recently ratified at a retreat held for commissioners of the agency.
However, the new packages are still have to be presented to the Federal Executive Council, which has the responsibility to present it to the National Assembly as a bill for enactment as an Act of Parliament.
Speaking with journalists on Saturday, November 14, Elias Mbam, the chairman of RMAFC, noted that the new packages would soon be made
public, adding that the work was “going through a process of editing.”
Meanwhile, presidency sources revealed that the new ministers will be paid in accordance with the existing statute because the reviewed package
was not yet ready.
According to the current package, Babatunde Fashola, the minister of power, works and housing, Rotimi Amaechi, the minister of transport, Lai Mohammed, the minister of information and culture, and other senior ministers will get N4,052,800 as housing allowance.
Each of the ministers is also entitled to N6,079,200 as furniture allowance, which is paid once in four years.
If any of the ministers desires, he or she is also entitled to N8,105,600 as motor vehicle allowance. However, the motor vehicle allowance is a loan repayable by the end of the tenure of the minister.
The annual basic salary of substantive minister is N2,026,400 (N168,866:66 per month).
At the end of each month, each minister will receive a motor vehicle fuelling and maintenance allowance of N1, 519,800 (annual value).
Each of the senior ministers is entitled to a payment of N1,519,800 for domestic staff, N911,880 annually – for entertainment, N607,920 – for utilities, N405,280 – for monitoring, N303,960 – for periodicals.
The summation of these annual allowances is N13,374, 240 for each minister excluding the optional vehicle allowance.
Meanwhile, each of the ministers of state is entitled to N3, 915,160 housing allowance and N5,872,740 as furniture allowance.
Like their senior counterparts, the state
ministers are also entitled to a vehicle fuelling and maintenance allowance of N1, 468,185(annual value).
Each of the state ministers is entitled to
N880,911 annually for entertainment, N587,274– for utilities, N293,637 – for newspapers.
The federal government is expected to pay the 13 junior ministers no less than N163,765,316 yearly.

Outspoken Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said he would not celebrate or praise the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressive Congress’ (APC) federal
government.
Buhari is not God, Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state says Fayose who belongs to the erstwhile ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
said Buhari is not God but Nigeria’s leader for a period of time.
He said this in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, shortly after the state House of Assembly professed him as the ‘leader’ of the opposition party.
“I will tell them the truth. Opposition helps government of the day, helps Nigerians, to keep them on track. Opposition helps to check dictatorship, opposition helps to check oppression.
My being here as governor, my voice today will remain by the grace of God.
“I’m not like somebody going underground for reasons of harassment; it is only shameful that
the government of the day is after shadows.
You want to be in power, you are in power; you have charged virtually all PDP governors to court, are we saying no APC governor is corrupt in this country? But for me, I’m not
going into that; I’m not going to descend into that arena.
”For everything I say, I say it in good
conscience. When I was criticising the
President before he became President of Nigeria, they thought I will be quiet after.
Tomorrow, if I find him wanting, I will tell him.
The President is not God, he’s only leader of our country for a period of time,” Fayose was quoted by Vanguard newspaper.
Fayose said he is not interested in vying for any bigger political position:
“Even this one that I am serving as governor, it is the will of God for me.
There is nothing to vie for.” The governor also took a swipe at former
president Olusegun Obasanjo whom he
accused of seeking relevance with the Buhari government.
“The likes of Obasanjo were looming larger than life at that time, where are they now? They are at Ota; they are begging for relevance now.
They go to the villa everyday to beg for
ministerial nominees. I was watching him in the papers, whether he was prostrating for Buhari or he was exchanging compliments, I don’t
know. I can’t explain it.
At certain times, you must know when to switch off; you must know when to turn off and you must know when to
go to bed.
“For me, whether they call me leader of
opposition or not, whether they call me Ayo Fayose, I’m not even chairman of PDP governors’ forum and I’m not desperate for anything, but you can’t take away my voice. You can throw away my word but you can’t throw me away.
“I remain resolute, I stand by the common man of this country. Tomorrow, Nigerians will appreciate me. It is in turbulent times that we
know the strength of character of a man – in turbulent times like this – and it is shame on PDP leaders decamping because of relevance.
They should keep their relevance; whatever we do – good or bad – will live after us,” he opined.
