A unanimous ruling of the Court of Appeal has abruptly ended the tenure of Senator Joy Emordi at the Nigerian senate. In her place, the court declared the ANPP candidate, Uba Igbeke, (A shadowy character known as "Ubanese) as the rightful winner of the Anambra North Senatorial district elections on 2007. The judgement was delivered by Justice Olukayode Ariwoola while Justices Muhammad Ladan Tsamiya and Amiru Sanusi concurred.

This is one of the reasons Nigeria needs Electoral Reform. A Stipulated time should be given after an election for election tribunals to conduct hearing and Pass Judgement. Justice Delayed is justice Denied.

I Think Senator Bala Mohammed is from Bauchi not Sokoto

So Is It Dora's Job to win State(s) for Jonathan or trying to make a positive impact on the ministerial portfolio she will be asssigned in order to move this Country Forward.

1. Recall that on the 17th of February council constituted a six man cabinet delegation to visit President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua who was hospitalized in Saudi Arabia. They were also to convey the appreciation of the government and the good people of Nigeria to the Saudi Monarch for the care and support given to our President.

2. Membership of the delegation was as follows:

(i) Mahmud Yayale Ahmed, CFR, Leader of the Delegation

(ii) Chief Ojo Maduekwe, CFR, Member

(iii) Dr. Rilwanu Lukman, CFR, Member

(iv) Prince Adetokunbo Kayode, SAN, Member

(V) Prof. Babatunde Osotimehin,OON Member

(vi) Dr. Abba Sayyadi Ruma, Member

3. Preparatory to this visit the acting president had addressed a letter to the Royal Majesty, King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia , introducing the delegation as a special envoy from the presidency. In the letter, the acting president conveyed the profound appreciation and deep gratitude of the government and the entire people of Nigeria to the king, for the kindness, hospitality, fraternal care and excellent facilities extended to President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.

4. The delegation reported that they departed Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport , Abuja , early hours of Tuesday, 23rd February 2010, some minutes after midnight. On their arrival in Riyadh , Saudi Arabia , they were received the Nigerian Ambassador, Alhaji Abdullahi Aminchi and the Royal Protocol Personnel and driven straight to the Conference Palace , where they were accommodated.

5. Prior to their arrival, the Nigerian Ambassador has secured appointment for them to be recived by His Highness, Prince Saud Al-Faisal, Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs at 18.00 hours on the 23rd February, 2010. The Foreign Minister received us on behalf of the Saudi King and re-affirmed the commitment of the Saudi Government to promoting good relationship with Nigeria . He also assured the delegation that the Health of President Yar’Adua was improving. The delegation thanked the Saudi Foreign Minister for the warm reception and the hospitality which the kingdom accorded to them and delivered the Acting President’s letter to him, for onward transmission to His Royal Majesty, King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud.

6. Thereafter, the Nigerian Ambassador, Alhaji Abdullahi Aminchi informed the delegation that he had received information that President Yar’Adua had been discharged and was on his way back to Abuja . From all indications, the President must have departed Jeddah Airport at about 10 pm, Saudi time on Tuesday 23rd February 2010. With news that the President had left Saudi Arabia for Nigeria , the delegation did not consider it necessary to proceed to Jeddah, where the President was hospitalized. Accordingly, they decided to return to Nigeria .

7. The delegation departed Riyadh at about 5.30am on Wednesday 24th February 2010 and arrived Abuja at about 10.30 am.

8. The Acting President was accordingly briefed on their return.

Nigeria's president, who has not been seen since going into hospital in Saudi Arabia for heart treatment in November, has told the BBC he is recovering.

In his first interview since then, Umaru Yar'Adua said he hoped to make "tremendous progress" and to return to Nigeria to resume his duties.

Nigerian opposition parties have been demanding evidence about the true state of Mr Yar'Adua's health.

A rally has been called for Tuesday, mainly to protest over his absence.

There are three different court cases under way calling for power to be transferred to the Vice-President, Goodluck Jonathan.

Mr Yar'Adua is also known to have kidney problems.

'Save Nigeria'

Speaking by telephone, Mr Yar'Adua said he was making a good recovery.

"At the moment I am undergoing treatment, and I'm getting better from the treatment. I hope that very soon there will be tremendous progress, which will allow me to get back home," he said.

"I wish, at this stage, to thank all Nigerians for their prayers for my good health, and for their prayers for the nation."

Rumours had been rife that he was critically ill and unable to return to the presidency.

Under the banner Enough Is Enough, an organisation called the Save Nigeria Group called people on to the streets of the capital, Abuja.

There is a perceived danger of a power vacuum in a country which only saw the back of military rule just over 10 years ago, the BBC's Will Ross reports from the city.

The opposition plan is to march to the national assembly where senators are expected to be discussing the president's health.

Prominent opposition politicians and lawyers, Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka and the Biafran secessionist leader, Chief Emeka Ojukwu, will be among the demonstrators.

It is not clear if the demonstration will be well attended, our correspondent says.

Nigerians may be worried about their absent president but whether they will take time off to demonstrate is another matter, he adds.

"No country is going to create wealth if its leaders exploit the economy to enrich themselves, or police can be bought off by drug traffickers," Obama said. "No business wants to invest in a place where the government skims 20 per cent off the top, or the head of the Port Authority is corrupt. No person wants to live in a society where the rule of law gives way to the rule of brutality and bribery. That is not democracy, that is tyranny, and now is the time for it to end."

"Africa doesn't need strong men, it needs strong institutions," Obama added.


The above is the extract of the message by OBAMA to Nigerian govt led by President YAR A'DO NOTHING  or if you prefer  YAR A'CLUELESS. it sums up exactly what our govt do.

WILL THEY LISTEN?  my own bet is that , it is NOT in the gene of Nigerian govt and the PDP in particular who are consolidating power and turning Nigeria into A ONE PARTY STATE.

What do you guy think, will they listen, will they change or simply go on as if nothing matters?

I hope they listen & heed to what he said,

this jst d beginnin'
