N30 billion earned academic allowances, Daily Trust reports

the union, the government has agreed to release N20bn

INEC Nomination: IPAC Disowns AAC Chair, Nzenwa
~3.0 mins read
The leadership of Inter-Party Advisory Council of Nigeria,
IPAC, has announced that it will soon come up with definite
position on the nomination of Mrs. Lauretta Onochie, as
National Commissioner at the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC.
The acting President of the Inter-Party Advisory Council of
Nigeria, IPAC, Chief Ralphs Okey Nwosu, who made
remarks in a statement issued in Abuja, explained that the
General Assembly of IPAC was yet to debate on the issue.
Nwosu said the Council was yet to table the decision of
President Muhammadu Buhari before the General Assembly
of IPAC for proper debate and consideration vis a vis the
merits and or demerits of such nominations.
He, therefore, called on Nigerians to discountenance a
remark purportedly by one Leonard Nzenwa, challenging the
nomination of Mrs. Lauretta Onochie, while claiming to be
speaking for IPAC.
While distancing the IPAC from a purported publication
issued by Nzenwa, who is the National Chairman of Africa
Action Congress, AAC, Chief Nwosu declared that no party
chairman has the power to speak for IPAC.
Chief Nwosu stressed further that the person of Nzenwa has
no locus to speak for IPAC and more so when the council
has not met to take any decision concerning the nomination
of Mrs Onochei as INEC Commissioner by President
Muhammadu Buhari.
The Constitution ― CSOs
The IPAC President warns against such frivolous statement
by Nzenwa and says that the era when one individual or a
few persons will concoct statements in the name of all
political parties is over.
He said, “Under my headship, the full council must meet to
take decisions and draft policies and take all necessary
steps to build harmony and not overheat the polity.
“We ask the government and all party leaders to
discountenance the purported statement by AAC as that
remains the position of their party and his individual
opinion.
“IPAC will have a full Council meeting to deliberate on
burning national issues as they affect the polity. Such a
meeting will be held in a few days and will be widely
publicized.
“For the Inter-Party Advisory Council of Nigeria to arrive at
any position on issues bordering on the state of affairs of
the Country, the sanction of the General Assembly of the
Council must be sought and obtained.
“It is, however, inconceivable how an individual member
could arrogate to himself, the powers of the National
Executive Council and or the General Assembly of the
Council to make such reckless and irresponsible public
pronouncements on behalf of the Council.
“The Inter Party Advisory Council of Nigeria has taken
cognisance of the recent developments on the nominations
by Mr. President pending confirmation by the National
assembly, of National Commissioners of INEC.
“The Council is yet to table the decision of President
Muhammadu Buhari before the General Assembly of IPAC
for proper debate and consideration vis a vis the merits and
or demerits of such nominations.
“While we respect the fundamental rights of individual
political Parties to freely express their opinions and views
with regards to burning national issues, it remains
reprehensible for a person to issue unguided statements on
behalf of IPAC without authorization by the National
executive body or the assembly of the full council.
“The office of National Chairman IPAC, as claimed by
Leonard Nzenwa in the said publication, is unknown to both
the Code of Conduct for the Inter-Party Advisory Council of
Nigeria and the Law.
“We call on the general public to disregard such unfortunate
statement, as such never emanated from the leadership of
the Inter-Party Advisory Council of Nigeria, IPAC.â€
