Reps leadership battle continues as Dogara supporters reject Gbajabiamila

The ongoing leadership tussle in the House of Representatives appears to have taken a turn for the worse as lawmakers loyal to Speaker, Yakubu Dogara have said that they won’t acceptFemi Gbajabiamila as Majority Leader of the House.

The Dogara faction had earlier offered Gbajabiamila the position of House Leader but he is said to have rejected it.

The All Progressives Congress (APC), which both men belong to, had urged the Speaker and his supporters to respect the party and abide by its wishes to make Gbajabiamila Majority Leader.

Dogara’s supporters however said that they would rather ensure that federal character as enshrined in Nigeria’s constitution is adhered to in the appointment of Principal Officers of the House.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by Abdulmumini Jibrin, a member representing Kano.

The statement reads in part:

“This so called party position, if allowed to stand, would result in the South West producing the Deputy Speaker and Leader of the House and North East would produce Speaker and Chief Whip of the House. This is most unfair and inequitable.”

“In fact, there is no evidence that any of the Organs of the Party, APC, such as the National Working Committee, the National Caucus or National Executive Committee, approved such an unjust outcome. We insist that this is not even the Party position.”

The Dogara group also urged Gbajabiamila’s supporters to accept the offer extended to them to produce the House Leader from among themselves.

Gbajabiamila was originally chosen by the APC to be its sole candidate for the Speakership position but he was defeated by Dogara who went ahead to contest in defiance of the party’s wishes.

'Breast screening could lead to overdiagnosis' - Study says

Contrary to belief that breast screening leads to fewer deaths, a United States study has found that they may not infact lead to fewer deaths but may lead to overdiagnosis.

Researchers reported that in areas of the US with high levels of screening, more tumors were diagnosed  but breast cancer death rates were no lower than in areas with fewer screenings.

Study lead, Charles Harding said the results were "far from definitive" but the most dramatic finding of the study was "the immediately evident - and substantial - evidence of breast cancer overdiagnosis"

For the new study, researchers analyzed breast cancer screenings, cancer diagnoses, tumor characteristics and deaths in 547 US counties.

The data came from nearly 16 million women living in those counties in 2000.

All were at least 40 years old, the percentage who had screening mammograms ranged from 39% to 78%, depending on where they lived.

Overall, a 10% point increase in breast cancer screenings was tied to a 16% increase in breast cancer diagnoses.
The number of screening mammograms performed did not, however, affect the number of breast cancer deaths.
Most of the additional cancers detected on screening were small tumors. There wasn't an increase in diagnosis of large, and presumably more advanced tumors.
Thus, the findings suggest breast cancer screenings lead to overdiagnosis because they mainly catch smaller tumors.
Stating that more research is needed, the research group said their "findings are quite tentative for mortality because the data are very noisy"
They however pointed out that the study raises important questions about the benefits of mammography screening, although "it certainly does not answer them."

Shared funds not from Excess Crude Account –Presidency

The Presidency has denied reports that it is set to empty Nigeria’s Excess Crude Account (ECA) in order to fund a recently announced bailout for states to enable them pay salaries.
Presidential media aide, Femi Adesina made the clarification on Tuesday, July 7, 2015 while describing the report as incorrect.Adesina stated that the ECA balance was intact and that the funds to be used for the bailout would be drawn from dividends paid to the Federation Account by the NLNG.

“The measures approved by President Buhari definitely do not include drawing down the remaining balance in the Excess Crude Account or the “liquidation” of the account as some media outlets have wrongly reported,” Adesina said.

“No such decision has been taken or approved by President Buhari, and last week’s meeting of the National Economic Council clearly concluded that the Excess Crude Account should be left untouched at this time,” he added.“Last week’s meeting of the national economic council clearly concluded that the Excess Crude Account should be left untouched at this time,” Adesina said.
