The story of retired soldier, Kayode Sotunde, is akin to biblical Jesus Christ who died and resurrected after three days. But differently, the 49-year-old man was neither on a rescue mission like Messiah who paid the debt he did not owe nor was coerced to go through the Calvary tortures like Jesus did for the sake of humanity.

However, the story of this man who returned from the great beyond is worth celebrating.

A former Head of State, Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) on Friday said he decided to retire with his current rank in 1985, to defend and promote the integrity of the military, instead of promoting himself. Buhari said this at a public presentation of two books: “Nigerian military in politics: 1966-2011 and Politics of transition to civil rule in Nigeria” in Zaria, Kaduna State. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the books were published by Head of Political Science Department, Federal College Education, Zaria, Nuhu Ramalan

“It was the conviction of our regime that, being the Head of State and Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, does not mean that you are the overall General. “My ultimate goal as at then was to ensure integrity, justice, equity, accountability and transparency in the system. That was why I did away with unnecessarily promoting myself to General,” he said. Speaking on the military in politics, Buhari, the presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 general elections, identified some weaknesses of the past military regimes to include corruption and abuse of office.

Delta State Governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, has named named Retired Supreme Court Justice, Justice Francis Tabai, as the chairman of the committee to manage the N500 million flood disaster grant allocated to the state by the Federal Government.

Announcing this at an interactive session with newsmen in Asaba, Uduaghan said that Tabai was selected was selected because of his decision to have someone outside the government as chairman of the committee, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

He said that the committee, which includes representatives of the Nigeria Medical Association, Nigeria Bar Association and the Nigerian Union of Journalists would also manage funds from other sources.

“The committee will appraise the flood situation in the state and advise the government on how to channel the fund.

“It will also work out ways of resettling the flood victims post-camp and provide the government a detailed post-camp plan,” he said.

He said the full membership of the committee would be announced before the end of the week.

He debunked as “reckless” rumour making the rounds in the state that women were being raped and items stolen by thieves in the camps, especially the one in Ughelli.

The governor said that adequate security had been provided at the camps and stressed that no case of rape or other vices had been reported from any camp in the state.

He, therefore, appealed to the media and the public not to politicise the flood issue or be mischievous about it, adding, “What we have on our hand is a serious problem. People sacked from homes and communities where they had lived all their lives and people having their means of livelihood wiped out with some losing dear ones in the process is just not an issue of politics or mischief.”

He disclosed that seven persons had been officially reported dead in the flood disaster in the state.

According to him, the deceased included a community leader, a 23-year-old mother of three, and an eight-year-old girl.
