Reacting to recent comments by the presidential spokesperson Doyin 
Okupe, Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State has berated recent outburst 
and went further to describe the recently registered APC as the panacea 
to the nation’s problems.<br />
<br />

While engaging in the interview, Governor Lamido, admitted that he 
was in agreement with President Goodluck Jonathan that Nigeria cannot 
break as he said that members of the elite class in the country were 
united in preserving their advantages over the masses irrespective of 
tribe and religion.<br />
<br />

Lamido also expressed disappointment with statements credited to 
former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mohammed 
Abba-Gana, that there was no presidential material in the north.<br />
<br />

While commenting on the recent visits to some of the country’s 
elder-statesmen by some governors, he said the governors acted in the 
interest of the nation and in their determination to salvage the 
country’s democracy.<br />
<br />

He blasted out at okupe by saying “A situation where a hired hand 
like Doyin Okupe, a wage earner that speaks only to justify his pay, 
will malign me that I am irrelevant.<br />
<br />

“He became an aide after the election. These people who are now 
talking and abusing us are personal aides, who became what they are when
 the mandate was achieved.<br />
<br />

“They were nowhere when the whole thing was being worked out. It 
means there was an election before they were able to serve as aides.<br />
<br />

“There is nothing like honour in that because they are just hired 
hands. If tomorrow you have another President, they go to him.”<br />
<br />

‘Why Nigeria can’t break’<br />

Agreeing with President Jonathan that Nigeria cannot break, he said: 
“It is too weak to break. Who will break it? The ordinary person in 
Jigawa or the ordinary person in Sokoto or the ordinary person in 
Bayelsa?<br />

“Is it the Ibo vulcaniser or the Yoruba woman that is selling kerosene by the roadside or the Okada man in Delta?<br />
<br />

“They don’t have the capacity to unite because they are burdened by 
poverty. We have taken away from them their dignity, their self esteem, 
their pride and self worth so that they cannot even organise.<br />
<br />

“Up there, we (elite) unite, we sing and so we will never allow Nigeria to break because once it breaks, we will lose.<br />

“But the common man loses nothing. What is he losing? He is already 
living in hell; he cannot lose anything more than this hell.”<br />

A 22-year-old man, Julius Aboy was yesterday sentenced to death for 
stealing N955, 600 by a Delta State High Court sitting in Warri. The 
trial judge, Justice Marshal Mukoro of High Court 1, who handed down the
 sentence told the convict that he is to die by hanging.<br />
<br />

The convict was arraigned on a two-count charge of conspiracy to 
commit armed robbery and armed robbery, offences punishable under 
Sections 6(b) and 1(2)(a) respectively of the Robbery and Firearms 
(Special Provisions) Act Cap. RII Volume 14, Laws of the Federation of 
Nigeria, 2004.<br />
<br />

In the first count, Julius Aboy and others now at large were reported
 to have on or about the 4th day of March, 2011 in Warri, conspired with
 others now at large to commit armed robbery.<br />
<br />

In the second count, Julius Aboy and others now at large were also 
reported to have, on or about the 4th day of March, 2011 in Warri, 
robbed one Godwin Gwuene of N955, 600, while armed with a gun. The <a href="http://sunnewsonline.com/new/cover/man-22-to-die-by-hanging-for-stealing-n955-600/#" id="_GPLITA_0" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by Browse to Save">money</a> was said to be Ususu contribution (savings), belonging to workers, serving as cleaners in a company in Warri.<br />
<br />

The armed robbery gang, of which Aboy was allegedly a member, ran out
 of luck when an oncoming vehicle knocked down their getaway motorbike 
at the scene of the crime, leading to the arrest of the convict and 
killing of another member of the gang by an angry mob.<br />
<br />

Justice Mukoro said the excuse of poverty, which the convict gave as 
reason of dropping out of school and venturing into crime was not 
tenable, as poverty was not a licence for criminality.<br />
