The former Governor of Plateau State Sen Jonah David Jang has endorsed the Governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Barr Caleb Mutfwang, for the 2023 Governorship election and said his administration will give Plateau the required leadership.

He noted that no presidential candidate of the PDP has ever lost an election in Plateau since 1999 and urged the people to remain committed to PDP as it is the platform that will salvage the state from the current insecurity and economic downturn.

Jang disclosed this on Tuesday during the flag-off of the Atiku/Mutfwang PDP zonal campaign rally for Plateau South, held at the Shendam Mini Stadium, Shendam Local Government Area of the state.

“We are glad that PDP has presented a competent and credible Governorship candidate, Barr Caleb Mutfwang and his Deputy, Ngo Josephine Piyo. I am presenting them to you and all other PDP candidates for the February and March 2023 general elections.

“Plateau people made a mistake in 2015 and we are regretting it because of the hardship, poverty and the government has no legacy to its name. But I am certain that Mutfwang will not disappoint you.

“APC is not a party for Plateau people, we are known with PDP and no presidential candidate of the party has ever lost an election since the return of democracy in 1999, we will do what we are known for.” He stated.

Jang, who knelt down and prayed for the success of all PDP candidates said Plateau has not enjoyed the dividends of democracy under the APC administration and urged the people to reject the party in the next election.

The governorship candidate, Barr Caleb Mutfwang, urged the Plateau people to reject APC in 2023 for inflicting pain, hardship, and poverty on the people.

“If we do not kill APC, APC will kill democracy and if we kill APC in 2023, democracy will survive. We are tired of deceit, bad governance, insecurity, and poverty; go and collect your PVCs and vote for PDP candidates from top to bottom.”

LPPC Bars Ozekhome from Using SAN Title Amid Ongoing Ethics Review

BY SUNDAY SAMUEL The Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee (LPPC) has directed prominent lawyer Mike Ozekhome to stop using the title of Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) pending the conclusion of disciplinary proceedings against him.

The decision was made in line with Paragraph 26(6) of the guidelines governing the award and regulation of the SAN rank. The measure will remain in force until the committee reaches a final decision on matters currently before its Disciplinary and Ethics Sub-Committee, as well as other related proceedings.

According to the LPPC, the action is intended to protect the honour, reputation and standing of the prestigious SAN designation while the issues under consideration are thoroughly examined.

As a result, Ozekhome is prohibited from portraying or identifying himself as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria until the disciplinary process is concluded.

The committee reaffirmed its dedication to promoting professionalism, ethical conduct and accountability within the legal profession, stressing the need to preserve public trust in the SAN institution.

Ozekhome was elevated to the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria in 2010, joining a group of 19 distinguished legal practitioners admitted to the Inner Bar that year.

Europe is pushing back on Washington’s chip war

Dutch Trade Minister Sjoerd Sjoerdsma visited Washington this week to meet with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and members of Congress to oppose the MATCH Act, a bill that would bar Chinese chipmakers from accessing Western semiconductor equipment, and one that would hit ASML especially hard.

ASML, based in the Netherlands, is Europe’s most valuable company and the only maker in the world of the sophisticated lithography machines that are used to make cutting-edge AI chips.

“It’s exceptional that I’m coming here to broadly outline our concerns to Congress,” Sjoerdsma told Bloomberg after the meetings. “The stakes for the Netherlands may be very high.”

China accounts for 19% of ASML’s net system sales. The MATCH Act would go further than existing controls, extending curbs to ASML’s deep ultraviolet immersion machines on top of the long-standing ban on its most advanced extreme ultraviolet, or EUV, tools reaching China.

As ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet told TechCrunch in May, what China can currently buy are older-generation deep ultraviolet tools — gear first shipped about a decade ago — the same machines the MATCH Act would now relegate off limits.

The bill, introduced in April, hasn’t yet faced a full House or Senate vote; Bloomberg notes it would likely need to be folded into a larger package to pass.
