I have been ruminating about reasons that could be behind IBB's seemingly embarrassing disappearance at the world-focused inauguration on friday but couldn't come up with appropriate answer despite my huge investment of time and efforts in the social media. I humbly hereby throw this to erudite nairalanders to candidly submit in their own little understanding of "the maradona of politics in nigeria" ....looking forward to read from you.

President Goodluck Jonathan has assured that he will deliver more dividends of democracy if elected to return to Aso Rock in this month’s presidential election.This is even as he promised to give more attention to the Ajaokuta Steel Company of Nigeria and ensure that the steel is included in the nation’s rail system if re-elected.Jonathan noted that most governments worldwide performed better during the second term of their administration, saying his administration’s case would not be different as he was set to do more in the next four years than he had achieved so far.He said public office holders performed better during their second term because they had enough time to settle down and plan for national development.The president gave the assurance when he met with members of the Kogi State Council of Chiefs at the Chari Maigumeri Barracks, Lokoja, the state capital.Jonathan, who was in the state in continuation of the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential campaign rally,said: “Whatever we have done in the last four years, we believe that we will even do more in the next four years.“Most governments all over the world do better in their second tenure. This is because the presidents are morestable that time, especially in this two terms arrangement. They are more stable. They sit down and plan for the country and focus on key areas.”He stated that in the face of reducing crude oil price, hisadministration would also continue to give more attention to the development of solid minerals and agriculture, among others. Also, he promised to continue to work with the state government to develop Kogi State.Earlier, the National Chairman of PDP, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, assured the traditional rulers of the present administration’s resolve to restore their constitutional roles. He said the PDP, as a party could not understandwhy traditional rulers as custodians of culture and tradition were still being denied of constitutional roles.“Our party leader, President Jonathan, is leading the crusade to bring you back into the constitution,” he said.

The Alliance Of Democracy (AD) has removed its national chairman, Senator Mojisola Akinfunwa, after 12 years in office, due to his inability to win a single seat at state assemblies or elect any councillors, and for a breach of constitutional law, DailyTrust reports.Moji AkinfenwaThe National Executive Council of the AD announced the removal Akinfunwa via a communique issued after a meeting in Abuja on January 30.The party said the chairman had breached the provisions of Nigeria’s constitution and that of the party.However, a check on the INEC website at the time of writing revealed Akinfunwa as the national chairman of the party.READ ALSO: Meet PDP-APC Gubernatorial CandidatesIn the communique signed by the party’s national secretary and its presidential candidate, Rafiu Salau, the party urged its members nationwide to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), saying that failure to collect the PVCs amounts to abandoning their mandates.The communique reads:“Senator Mojisola Akinfunwa has spent 12 years in office as the national chairman. In that capacity, he endorsed the party’s candidates in 2007, 2011 and 2015 generalelections. The national and party constitutions have automatically removed senator Akinfunwa as the chairman because only two terms of 8 years are allowed.” Akinfunwa was embroiled in a power struggle with Adebisi Akande for the position of national chairman, which lingered untilSeptember 2006 when the ‘Bisi Akande faction merged with other opposition parties to form the Action Congress party.The party is one of 16 political parties urging the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to postpone the February 14 polls.

Buhari

Ahead of the presidential election which holds on February 14, President Goodluck Jonathan has disclosed some of his achievements since he assumed office as the president of the country. He promised to do more.“My dear friends on Facebook, in the following days and weeks, I would be reporting back to you on what I have done with the mandate you gave me four years ago. In many ways, I see you as a special constituency of mine because of the love and support you have shown me on this page since I came on Facebook on the 28th of June 2010,” he posted on his Facebook page.“The Average Life Expectancy in Nigeria was 47 years in 2010. Five years down the line, working together, we have succeeded in increasing Nigeria’s Average Life Expectancy to 54 years as at today and climbing. And the government I head will not rest on its oars in improving all our health indices to make sure that Nigerians not onlylive longer lives, but that we live better quality lives.“And unity is our tool in this regard. The type of unity with which Nigeria defeated the Ebola Virus Disease will be harnessed for use intackling the challenges in our health sector. Already, we are equipping and upgrading facilities in our teaching hospitals and many are carrying out surgeries they never could, because of equipment.“Only last year, the United Nations certified Nigeria Guinea Worm free. I am reliably informed that not before long, we will also be certified free of the Wild Polio Virus.“This is progress. This is Transformation. This is ‪#‎ForwardNigeria GEJ,” the post read.President Jonathan noted that education is the foundation for the consistent growth of the nation. He therefore pledged the commitment of his administration to the growth of the sector.“Education is the only foundation that can ensure the consistent growth of a nation. I have always believed that a nation will not become great by the minerals under her ground. Such will only come by developing the human resources of the country.“When I came on board in 2010, Jigawa, Katsina, Gombe, Nasarawa, Kogi, Ebonyi, Bayelsa, Ekiti, Taraba, Yobe, Kebbi and Zamfara had no Federal University. During my 2011 presidential campaigns, I promised to establish at least one university in these states.“This is the year 2015 and I have kept my word. Each of those statesnow has a Federal University. In addition, this administration has built 125 Almajiri schools to cater for our valued children who were outside the formal education system.“Experts have said that where education increases, fatalities reducesand it is no surprise to the Federal Government that our infant and maternal mortality rates have dropped considerably as our investments in education has increased.“We will not stop there. Having substantially tackled access to education, our ongoing efforts to improve quality will be intensified. Education is key to our advancement, and we will do this only with your help and cooperation.”Jonathan further wrote: “When I came into office as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the 6th of May 2010, I met a moribund railway system and I vowed to myself that this vital infrastructure will be revived as it offered the most inexpensive mode of transportation for our people.“Today, four years later, I am pleased to report to you that our railways are back on track. Our people can now take the Lagos-Kano service for only N1, 930 and the Port Harcourt-Enugu service for only N300.“I was pleased to read a comment on my page from Oraye St. Franklyn, who took a ride on the Port Harcourt-Enugu service of the Nigerian Railway Corporation. He expressed his delight as a parent that his children had entered a train in Nigeria for the first time in their lives.“And we are not stopping here. This administration just completed the tracks for the Abuja-Kaduna Standard Gauge Railway. Plans have reached an advanced stage for a new rail-line from Lagos to Calabar and another between Ibadan and Lagos.“Our plan, which we intend to bring to fruition with your support, is tolink every commercial and administrative capital in Nigeria by rail thereby bringing our people closer. We must continue to strengthen the bond of our union,” assured Jonathan.

Quote of The Day: "Femi Fani Kayode is my boy. Provide him food,he will eat and then sing for you. He’s a smart boy" – General Olusegun Obasanjo (rtd)

MEND backs Buhari for PresidencyPosted by:BOLAJI OGUNDELE, WarriinNews Update25 mins agoThe presidential candidate of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), on Tuesday gained an unusual support as the main agitating militant group in the Niger Delta, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), pledged its total support for the former military ruler.MEND, in a lengthy press statement circulated through email by its spokesperson, Jomo Gbomo, anchored its decision on the need to deliver Nigeria, especially the Niger Delta region, from the crunching effects of corruption.It also lamented the unconcerned attitude of the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration at the unrelenting degradation of the NigerDelta environment, taking a hard stance on the increasing level of oil theft in the region.President Jonathan, according to MEND, does not deserve a second more in the Presidency.The group also commended Buhari for proposing to scrap the office of the First Lady, which it considered to be a drain on the nation’s resources and a conduit through which corrupt government officials stole across all levels of government.It said, “The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has, upon careful consideration of the state of the nation, endorses and fully supports the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Gen. Mohammadu Buhari.“Our decision to throw our full support on Gen. Mohammadu Buhari stems from the pathetic state in which the country has been put by the government of Goodluck Jonathan and our strong believe in Buhari as the man and change the country needs.“President Goodluck Jonathan does not deserve a second more in the Presidency as soon as his tenure expires as he has continuously and blatantly disregarded the very people who voted him into office.“A President that told Nigerian to their faces that he does not ‘give a damn’ when asked to declare his assets. A requirement that is constitutional on assuming the office of the President.“President Jonathan, since assuming his office, has setup countless committees, whose reports have never been implemented. From the Nuhu Ribadu report to the KPMG and fuel subsidy reports, just to mention a few.“How can Nigerians expect a highly corrupt person like Goodluck Jonathan to fight corruption when he believes that stealing is not corruption, as he shamelessly told the Nation?“He has proven beyond all reasonable doubt, his inability to tackle corruption or prosecute a single government official in his six years in office.“MEND finds it laughable the recent statement by Goodluck Jonathanon his government’s plan to fight corruption. This statement not only smacks of ignorance of the highest order, but also shows just how stupid he thinks Nigerians are. A president that had six years to tackle the problem but chose to shield corrupt government officials, joined in the looting of our resources and now has the temerity to sayhis government has a plan to fight corruption. This is a big slap in theface of every single Nigerian!“We re-state our disregard and lack of confidence in President Goodluck Jonathan. Rather than address the perennial issues in the country responsible for his administrations failures, he is concentrating government funds in a campaign of misinformation intended to hoodwink Nigerians who, unfortunately for him, are now wiser and smarter than he is.“Goodluck Jonathan’s actions, utterances and arrogance prove that he is totally disconnected with the situation facing the ordinary Nigerian and completely out of touch with reality.”

In this piece, Adeyemi Olufemi compares the military regime of General Muhammadu Buhari (1983-1985) and President Goodluck Jonathan (2010-till date)Read below:In more experienced democracies, the choice of who deserves to beelected the president of Nigeria between President Goodluck Jonathan and former Head of state General Mohammadu Buhari, in the 2015 presidential election would be a forgone issue due to the fact that both contestants have been in office as president and Nigerians have experienced the governance styles of both, with first-hand observation of their strengths and weaknesses, and importantly what both achieved while in office.It is important to examine the public records for the facts of what both did while in office because as Professor Wole Soyinka said about the public records of General Buhari while he was in office, “History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future”.Hence to commence an examination of the record of both leaders we must start with the most critical, security. Much has been said about the record of performance by President Jonathan on security, while he declared a state of emergency and changed several ServiceChiefs, all these efforts have been adjudged more from the fact that the well-resourced Boko Haram, like ISIS in Syria and Iraq, the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan, as well as their Salafist comrades in Chechnya, Russia are still holding ground against the Nigerian Army. What is however without doubt is that with respect tothe Jonathan government, the threat to the security of Nigerians are from external forces, Boko Haram, Kidnappers, armed robbers, etc. The latter two have been a problem for every government dependingon scale, while religious zealots have periodically caused mayhem in the North generally and the North East in particular, in other regimes although with greater brutality.In comparison however, whereas the threat to the security of Nigerians came from forces external to government in the Jonathan regime, with the Buhari regime, government itself was the source of the greatest threat to the security of Nigerians. Under Buhari’s regime anyone could be detained at his whim using draconian decrees, the list of those incarcerated under Buhari is lengthy, Sam Mbakwe, Fela Kuti, Femi Aribisala, Bisi Onabanjo, Bola Ige, Audu Ogbeh, and so many others. Individual security was so bad under Buhari that when Pa Adekunle Ajasin was acquitted twice by courts that found him not guilty of Buhari’s accusation of corruption, the Buhari regime re-arrested and detained him under Decree no. 2. While Buhari detained Tai Solarin and denied him medication even while Tai Solarin was having persistent asthmatic attacks. Even worse, Buhari ordered the judicial murder of Bernard Ogedengbe , who was sentenced to death under Decree 20 for a crime he committed before Decree 20 was enacted whereas it carried a lightersentence when he committed the crime. Buhari refused to accept any pleas to spare Ogedengbe’s life, hence under Buhari the state denied the individual his life at the whim of ‘President’ Buhari. To summarize the state of security under Buhari’s regime, Professor Wole Soyinka expressed shock that any Nigerian will ever contemplate voting for Buhari as a president thus, “Buhari enslaved the nation. He gloated and gloried in a master-slave relation to the millions of its inhabitants. It is astonishing to find that the same former slaves, now free of their chains, should clamour to be ruled by one who not only turned their nation into a slave plantation, but forbade them any discussion of their condition”.A second but important sphere for comparison is education, because although Nigerians like to celebrate oil and gas and the easy wealth it brings, globally it is acknowledged that the most important resource for a nation is its human capital, its people, their abilities and capabilities and how these capabilities are enhanced through education, formal and informal. In this regard, even some elders in the north of Nigeria who now tout Buhari as the presidentialcandidate of the north, like former Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Coomasie, are unable to wipe out the indelible annals of public record, where Buhari is noted to have stopped food subsidiesin Nigerian universities and thereby prioritized the introduction of malnutrition into universities as an opportunity cost for other economic decisions. In contrast, Coomasie and his ilk are unable to deny the fact that Goodluck Jonathan has built more Universities in Northern Nigeria within three years from 2011 to 2013 than any northern leader ever did between 1960 and 2013. The list of these universities include, Federal University Lafia (2011), Federal University Wukari (2011), Federal University Lokoja (2011), Federal University Kashere (2011), Federal University Dutse (2011), Federal University Dutsin-ma (2011), Police Academy Wudil (2012), Federal University Gashua (2013), Federal University Gusau (2013) and the Federal University Birnin-Kebbi (2013), before this only the Gowon and Babangida governments built up to four universities each while others established one or two between 1962 and 1988.Moreover, apart from the overwhelming and unprecedented investment in primary school education, through the universal basic education, vocational schools, and the launching of the special funding of the all-embracing education called Almajiri education -the very first in the history of northern Nigeria- the Jonathan administration took children from the streets of northern Nigeria and gave them new opportunities, whereas some elders of northern Nigeria who called western education “Haram” denied them formal western education but offered instead religious knowledge and USD 2000 Kalashnikovs to use as Boko Haram foot soldiers.Again on the very critical issue of the economy, some have attributed Buhari’s regime with stabilizing the economy at a turbulent time by using counter trade to keep the IMF in abeyance, but this was not the independent assessment of evaluators who observed that the counter-trade mechanism was abused to siphon public funds by converting Nigeria crude to laundered funds for cronies of the Buhari regime. Of course, this could not be scrutinizedby the Nigerian press. Those who dared ended up at No 15 Awolowo Road in Lagos or other such detention centres created to silence critics of the Buhari government. Still, independent assessors at the GATT, later the WTO, had written in their report number BOP/W/102 of September 1986 that on the Counter trade,” “Four principal countertrade agreements were concluded with Brazil,France, Italy, and Austria. This policy, while permitting a certain amount of extra imports to enter, was subsequently seen as causingconsiderable diversion of trade and substantial extra cost to the economy as a whole”. In contrast the past four years of the Jonathan administration has seen a steady economic growth of over 6% with a much larger GDP. Some have criticized the growth, saying it did not trickle down to all spheres of society, but the same thing has been said of the Chinese development which is poised to become the biggest economy in the world.Even though Olufemi raised very valid points in his article, it is obvious he dwelt more on the short-comings of the Buhari regime than that of the Jonathan’s administration.
