Le Molar:

NIGERIANS ARE IN TROUBLE BECAUSE OF GREEDY PEOPLE LIKE BUHARI WHO WANT TO RULE NIGERIANS BY ALL MEANS  THOSE WHO THINK THAT TO RULE NIGERIANS IS THEIR BIRTH RIGHT

You people are so funnyyyyyyyyyyyyy with your selective amnesia. Buhari is now your convenient scapegoat rather than the'enemies from within' that Mr. President has a lot of in his own Party? When Buhari did not win in 2003 and 2007 did Nigeria go up in flame?

Play Ostrich all you want , but I will tell you that all we are seeing is the work of those who Jonathan has defeated but will not accept defeat . Did ATiku not openly threaten violence? If anyone thinks men like IBB, Atiku, Ciroma et al have given up hope of sneaking in through the back door then I suggest they think again instead of looking at Buhari who has conducted himself far more diplomatically than all his PDP opponents rolled together.

Anyway, today is as good as any to ressurect some of the past discussions on Nairaland in case some folks now want to pretend that they are afflicted with memory loss. It is Atiku, Ciroma, IBB et al who feel they must have power because they are born to rule and not a man like Buhari who, IMO, wants power so he can move Nigeria forward. Intelligent Nigerians know who the "usual suspects" are and will not be distracted with 'noisemaking' against Mr. Buhari. GEJ fans should confess that they are embarrassed to admit that it is highly likely and far more logical that Mr. President is being sabotaged by his own Party members.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-568997.64.html

Nigerians please vote out the PDP. Atiku's rant just shows that the PDP is full of evil and bloodthirsty miscreants. We all know that Jonathan's attempt to "usurp" power from the most clannish region in Nigeria will have repercussion but we do not need someone who wants to lead and unite Nigeria to be the spokesman/instigator of chaos and disunity. Has Buhari threatened voilence ? Has Ribadu threatened fire and brimstone if the North does not produce the next President? Yet the PDP's Northern consensus candidate seems to be telling us he must get his way or Nigeria burns. Despicable indicator that evil is the PDP and the PDP is evil. Nigerians, see what you need to see before it is too late .

Wether Atiku or GEJ, vote them out. The time is now. Jonathan wants a coronation . We see it in his desperate attempt to bribe his way to Aso Rock.  Atiku wants a coronation and we see it with how he is brazenly resorting to blackmailing Nigeria. We all know serious chaos is a very real possibility if Jonathan bullies his way to Aso Rock next year but the right President , who cannot bare to see even one Nigerian life lost, will deliberately focus attention away from the possibility of violence. Atiku is therefore disqualified on this ground as he seems to want to whip up bellicosity in Northern Nigerians. Atiku, with this rant, has proven he is possibly a sponsor of terrorism,mayhem and political gangsterism. Let us vote out the PDP so that Nigeria can prosper.

it is unfortunate that you can not give us an area in Bayelsa where this is happening. if not for anything it will allow us warn those close to the area. Do you even have brother in bayelsa? If you can not tell us where (we are not even asking for street name) then carry ur mobile phone and look for another thing to do with it rather than cause a panic here.

Please do, and while at it, remember not to tell lies or spread false rumours so that you too wouldn't need to be traced by security services for destabilising the country.

There is NO violence in Bayelsa. Posters should realize the foreign media would just love to report ''widespread violence and chaos'' in Nigerian elections, so stop giving them ammunition to tarnish your country based on falsehoods.

Three persons were feared dead in election violence on Saturday in Delta and Bayelsa states.







Two persons reportedly died in a clash between supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party and Democratic Peoples Party in Ogume, Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State while one life was lost when members of the PDP engaged faithful of the Labour Party in a gun battle in Twon Brass, Bayelsa State.







There were also reports of injuries and damage to property.

Re: Election Violence Claims Three Lives In Bayelsa, Delta


Voters in Bayelsa State were jittery on Friday following the fear of a possible outbreak of violence as the Independent National Electoral Commission holds the rescheduled National Assembly election on Saturday (today), an investigation by SATURDAY PUNCH has shown.


It was discovered that with such phobia in the minds of eligible voters, many polling units, especially those in the creeks, might witness a low turnout of voters.


It was found that voters were more apprehensive of possible explosions, which had become rampant in the state in the build-up to the elections.


Some residents told SATURDAY PUNCH that they were scared of being caught up in a crossfire that usually occurred between armed hoodlums and security agencies in different parts of the state.


It was learnt that stakeholders were worried on the possible outcome of elections in the state, especially considering that it is the home of President Goodluck Jonathan, who will be expected to cast his votes at his Otueoke hometown.


It was learnt that there were subtle moves from Abuja to douse the political tension in the state by appealing to the political gladiators to maintain the peace.


Such moves, it was gathered, became necessary to avoid a repeat of what happened on Saturday, which is capable of impugning on the integrity of the President, who has been an advocate of a peaceful election.


It was gathered that the shootout that occurred last Saturday morning at Ekeremor between armed youths and operatives of the Joint Task Force codenamed Operation Restore Hope, in which three of the miscreants were killed, had aggravated the anxiety in the state.


More so, the explosion that rocked a three-star hotel owned by Mrs. Tikere, the wife of the reinstated deputy governor of Bayelsa State, Mr. Peremobowei Ebebi, on Wednesday, had further raised fresh fears in the state ahead of today’s poll.


Some persons had thrown explosives suspected to be dynamite into Latik Hotel located in Kpansia, Yenagoa Local Government Area at about 8 pm.


The state chairman of the Labour Party, Mr. Adou Bobo, was said to have held a meeting with the leaders and youths of the party in the hotel on Monday, a day before the incident, heightening the tension between the party’s camp and the Peoples Democratic Party.


Ebebi has been in battle with Sylva leading to his impeachment by the state house of assembly.


But he was reinstated by the Court of Appeal sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.


Ebebi is contesting the Bayelsa West senatorial district seat under the umbrella of the LP.


But the explosion, which happened four days to today’s election, has reportedly highlighted a possible outbreak of violence.


The new Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Aderenle Shinaba, had summoned the officials of the Bomb Disposal Unit on Wednesday morning to his office at the state police headquarters, to review the incident and promised to forestall a recurrence.


Despite the assurances of the police, voters were still apprehensive based on the fact that the police had made such promises in the past without fulfilling them.


Some of them, who spoke to SATURDAY PUNCH on the condition of anonymity, said to encourage voters to participate in the election today, there must be special security arrangements especially in the creeks.


Based on the developments in the state, Shinaba was summoned to the Zone Five Police Headquarters in Benin, Edo State on Thursday for a special security meeting.

You honesty believe nta will show you those images. Isolated they might be am sure my brother did not just call me to frame lies. The panic and fear in his voice signifies how Frightened he was. However he has also comfirmed that voting is going on peacefully after the shooting. For those calling for my head you can see.
