Politics / Rivers: We Did Not Lose, We Were Robbed – APC Chieftain by aceguy1(m): 11:38am On Apr 18, 2015 |
By Davies Iheamnachor PORT HARCOURT – A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who doubles as the lawmaker representing Emohua constituency in the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Chidi Lloyd has said his party did not lose the keenly contested election in the state rather was robbed of its sure victory. The Majority Leader in RSHA who is also seeking fourth term bid into the state legislature on the platform of APC disclosed this while reacting to the cancellation of the State House of Assembly election in his LG. He alleged that the APC was robbed of its victory by the PDP with the connivance of the INEC and the security operatives. Lloyd said that the APC did its homework thoroughly through campaigns and was able to be having the majority of people on its side, adding that the people of the state were not allowed to express their will at the poll. He said the result of the election does not reflect the will of the people of the state, stressing that all the electoral principles laid by the INEC were totally breached by the PDP. He called on the Rivers people to protest against the result which does not show their will. “We campaigned to the voters on our pedigree and we convinced the voters to vote for APC but little did we know that they had some corrupt officials of the INEC who were sent here with a script on what to do in Rivers state. And the Resident Electoral Commissioner shamelessly came here to supervise this kind of social ebola that has taken place in Rivers state.” “If in a local government area two elections were conducted simultaneously what was the premise on which one was announced and the other cancelled. That is what I keep telling people at different fora that what happened in Rivers state on the 28th of March and on the 11 of April are just a political telemundo.” “An election that has been acclaimed by the national and international observers to be flawed with violence; in fact one of the groups said the election did not meet the minimum requirement set by the INEC, yet a cooked result was announced.” www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/rivers-we-did-not-lose-we-were-robbed-apc-chieftain/ |

Politics / Women Threaten To Protest In Taraba If Female Gov Candidate Is Intimidated by aceguy1(m): 6:45am On Apr 18, 2015 |
Two Non-governmental Organisations, Ladies of Grace and Agape Sisters, have threatened to protest on April 25 if the female governorship candidate in the Taraba governorship race, Senator Aisha Alhassan, is intimidated. Coordinator of Agape Sisters, Jean Onuh, issued the threat in Abuja on Friday, April 17, when she briefed newsmen on the Taraba run-off election. Onuh said Senator represents the interest of Nigerian women in the Taraba governorship poll holding on April 25. She alleged that Alhassan is being intimidated by her opponents and officials of the Independent Electoral commission (INEC). "We would have remained quiet and very neutral but for our disadvantaged background and the clamour to sustain the goals set for Nigerian women in the post Beijing Conference. "We dare warn of adverse consequences should the establishment known as the Taraba cabal insist on intimidating a female contestant in the race. "We will mobilise hundreds of thousands of Nigerian women to protest on April 25, if any official behaves funny,’’ Onuh said. She called on all involved in the Taraba poll to remain neutral and urged registered voters, especially women, to ignore all kinds of intimidation to come out and cast their votes for Alhassan.

Politics / Pdp Not Dead, Says Aliyu by aceguy1(m): 9:23pm On Apr 15, 2015 |
Niger state governor, Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not dead. He predicted that the party will bounce back in 2019 to take what it lost in the just concluded general elections. Aliyu stated this when the Umar Nasko Campaign organization led by Alhaji Aminu Yusuf Wushishi visited him in Government House Minna, to inform him of plans by the PDP to meet at states and federal levels to correct its mistakes. According to him, “Our party is not dead. When all these cools down, we will properly re-organize to bring PDP back to its formidable political strength. Many things have happened and this is not the time for us to cast blames.” “I therefore hope that the time we will have to re- organize our party we would add more ideology to what we have. Let me urge you to stop thinking you have failed. In terms of elections, particularly the time we found ourselves, it went beyond the limits of individual effort”. Aliyu thanked electorates in the state for conducting themselves in the most peaceful manner. He noted that the elections were free and fair – devoid of electoral violence. Earlier Wushishi, the leader of team hailed Governor Aliyu over the way and manner he took the elections despite results were not in favour of the PDP. He said the governor exhibited the character of a good leader. He urged Aliyu not to be dismayed by the result adding that he has done well in the area of dividend of democracy. He said the challenge was the fact that Nigeria electorates were conclusive in the area of voting for a particular political party regardless of their candidate. “ We will continue to be with you wherever you go. You can always count on us whenever you need us. We have seen your work in all the 25 Local Government Areas of Niger State. May God continue to bless and guide you in your future endeavor,” Aliyu said. www.thenationonlineng.net/new/pdp-not-dead-says-aliyu/

Politics / Buhari, Let There Be Light – Power First by aceguy1(m): 7:20am On Apr 13, 2015 |
“Let there be light” It was in my Junior (third year) at the university, in the USA, when I undertook a study titled COMPARATIVE RELIGION, when the discovery was made. Until then I was under the mistaken impression that there were two religions in the world – Christianity and Islam. But, very soon, after arriving in the US in 1964, armed with an American Government Scholarship, a third religion was added to the list – Judaism. But, it was not until 1966 that the revelation came through this course that there are more than 1000 religions worldwide. Among the most common beliefs of virtually all religions in the idea that God/ Allah/Yahweh etc ordered light to be created as a pre-condition to other acts of creation and development. Granted our nation faces several problems calling for urgent attention – mostly Boko Haram and general insecurity, corruption, unacceptably high unemployment, equitable distribution of the dividends of democracy, infrastructure, education, health, etc – but, one item on the national agenda which will speed up progress on the rest is POWER SUPPLY. Supply has been emphasized because, the outgoing governments and its Ministers of Power, as well as praise-singers, had wasted their time and money during the campaigns pointing to increased generating capacity. What they failed to understand, or, more likely deliberately ignored is the matter of distribution; meaning supply to homes. Let me illustrate what is meant by this from my days as a Marketing/Sales executive. Most brands fail because the brand owners fail to bring the product close enough to the consumer. Infant milk is an example. Every nursing mother knows that when you have a baby yelling for food at two in the morning, the baby milk in a store, miles away, is a distinctly different product from the one in the refrigerator. Jonathan’s Ministers, who became jesters with their failed promises on power supply had concentrated on production without taking corresponding steps to ensure that the power reaches consumers. Till today, the daily power supply to Nigeria is under 4000MW, irrespective of what the production capacity is. That level of power output cannot get us anywhere. It is remarkable that the best Nigeria had been able to do was achieved in December 2012, when we attended 4517MW of power supplied. That was two years and three months ago. That feat, hardly worthy of a nation destined for greatness, had not been equaled since. The most obvious question is: what had the government been doing in twenty seven months if it could not, at least, maintain that level? Worse still, if in two years, the nation had actually lost ground, when are we ever going to progress? Clearly, no progress had been made in twenty seven months if today we cannot receive 4517MW steady supply. More to the point; how could the outgoing President, knowing the lack of progress in power SUPPLIED have kept the Minister who had failed him and the nation so woefully? And, how could the out-going President tell Nigerians that he had fulfilled his campaign promises? Were we promised that there would be no progress on power supply in twenty seven months, while officials earned their huge emoluments? When was such a promise made to us? President-elect Buhari must recognize that there will be no significant progress on all fronts until there is substantial increase in power supply. To this he must address himself urgently. Unfortunately, that will require going and digging up a lot of dirt buried by his predecessors. Several contractors are still seating on our funds for contracts not fully executed ot even totally abandoned. It would amount to monumental folly to go around seeking for loans to undertake the task on hand when Obasanjo, Yar’Adua and Jonathan had drawn down billions of dollars to increase our capacity to 10,000MW without doing it. Articles which will follow will detail the list of known contracts which are yet to yield results. Something must happen. The contractors must either complete the jobs or refund our money. All economies, even from primitive times, have always run on energy; the more a nation can generate the faster it can transform the resources at its disposal to benefits for its people. We lag behind because we are currently failing to generate the power to make rapid progress. Buhari can change a lot of things simply by altering the power supply situation as fast as possible. Once he gets that underway, he can start chasing the crooks who stole our funds. Even there, he would need to fast track. There is already sufficient information in the public domain fro him to start with – before going into the secret official files which will reveal more information. He will receive all the help he needs from me – whether he asks for it or not. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/buhari-let-there-be-light-power-first/ 1 Like

Politics / Guber Poll: Observers Call For Cancellation Of Rivers Result by aceguy1(m): 8:48pm On Apr 12, 2015 |
International election observers on Sunday called for the cancellation of the Governorship and House of Assembly elections in Rivers. The leader of African Centre for Leadership Strategies and Development, Mr Humphrey Bekaren, who spoke on behalf of the observers, made the call in Port Harcourt. He said the observers were shocked that INEC disregarded the widely reported violent irregularities to begin the process of declaring results in the state. ‘’ We request all lovers of democracy to join us in calling for the outright cancellation of the phony election. ‘’ Unless this is done, we would have sown the seed that could eventually grow into providing a shade of fear and death over us,’’ he said. According to Bekaren, what happened in Rivers was a far cry from what election should be. ‘’ What we saw did not meet international standard of electioneering, not even the ones set by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC,’’ he said. He said there were reported incidents like deliberate delays and diversion of electoral materials, attacks on electoral officers, widespread arson and voter intimidation. The Resident Electoral Commissioner for Rivers, Mrs Gesila Khan, said INEC cancelled election in centres with reported electoral malpractices. She said re-run elections took place in six local government areas in the state where electoral malpractices were reported. He had also served with the Bauchi state government from 1983 to 1992, rising to the position of a Deputy Director, before transferring his service to the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation, where he finally delved into the private sector as a professional builder. www.thenationonlineng.net/new/guber-poll-observers-call-for-cancellation-of-rivers-result/ |

Politics / Inec’s Team Probes Alleged Irregularities In Rivers Polls - PUNCH by aceguy1(m): 8:38pm On Mar 30, 2015 |
The Independent National Electoral Commission has set up a three-man committee to investigate alleged irregularities in the polls conducted in Rivers State on Saturday. The committee has as its Head, Mrs. Thelma Iremirem, who is the Supervisory National Commissioner for Rivers; and Col. M.K Hammanga along with Prof. Lai Olurode, as members. A statement by the Secretary to the commission, Augusta Ogakwu, at the National Collation Centre for the Presidential Election in Abuja on Monday, was necessitated by the call for the cancellation of the elections in the state by the All Progressives Congress. Ogakwu said members of the committee had left for a fact-finding mission to the state and were expected to submit their report before the end of collation of results of other states and the Federal Capital Territory. She said the commission would subsequently make its decision known after receiving the report of the fact-finding committee. So far, INEC chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, who is the Chief Returning Officer of the presidential election, has so far collated results from eight states and the Federal Capital Territory. The statement read, “Further to the allegation made by the All Progressives Congress on the conduct of the presidential and National Assembly elections on Saturday, 28th March, 2015, in Rivers State and its call for the cancellation of the exercise, the Independent National Electoral Commission has set up a fact-finding mission to ascertain the veracity of the claims and allegations and to advise the commission and the Chief Electoral Commissioner/Returning Officer for the presidential elections. “The committee of National Electoral Commissioners comprises comprises the following: “I. Mrs. Thelma Iremirem, Head and the Supervisory National Commissioner for Rivers State “II. Col. M.K Hammanga – Member “IIIm Prof. Lai Olurode – Member. “They have departed for Rivers State and it is expected that they will submit their report before the end of the collation of results of the other states and the FCT. “Following the consideration of the report, the commission will make its decision known. www.punchng.com/news/inecs-team-probes-alleged-irregularities-in-rivers-polls/ 2 Likes 1 Share |
Politics / APC Condemns Election Violence In Gombe, Rivers by aceguy1(m): 9:20pm On Mar 28, 2015 |
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly condemned the violence perpetrated against its members in Gombe and Rivers State during Saturday’s elections, saying violence has no place in any democracy. In a statement issued in Lagos on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party in particular condemned the collusion between INEC and the PDP, aided by the security in Rivers, saying what transpired in the state is nothing but a travesty of elections. ”INEC practically handed over the elections to the PDP in Rivers, depriving APC strongholds of men and material. In Okrika, materials arrived and were taken to the home of the State Secretary for PDP Ibibia Walter, while all units in Ahoada East and Omuma LGAs do not have result sheets. To worsen matters, PDP thugs unleashed mayhem on APC voters, killing one member in Tai Local Government and harassing a serving Commissioner. ”Simply put, there was an orchestrated, massive disenfranchisement in APC strongholds,” it said. APC also condemned the killing of eight of the party’s members, one of them a serving member of the House of Assembly, in Gombe State on Saturday, saying it was aimed at intimidating its members and preventing them from coming out to vote. The party also said there is a plan to rob former Governor Danjuma Gombe of victory in his senatorial district, as the military commander and the police commissioner in the state are trying to orchestrate a crisis so they can arrest the former Governor and putting him away. It therefore called for an end to the violence, harassment and intimidation of its members in the state. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/03/apc-condemns-election-violence-in-gombe-rivers/ |

Politics / APC Wins In Obasanjo’s Ward In Ogun by aceguy1(m): 7:50pm On Mar 28, 2015 |
The Presidential and National Assembly elections in Ogun State held, Saturday was peaceful with little skirmishes in various parts of the state. The All Progressives Congress seems to be in early leads in some polling units so far as at the time of filing this report . At ward 11, polling unit 2, Olusomi’s compound in Sokori, Abeokuta, where Obasanjo cast his vote, APC won with wide margin. Also, at Ajura ward 4 in Obafemi-Owode where Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun cast his vote, APC won with wide margin. Meanwhile, some candidates of Senate and House of Representatives in the state as well as some politicians and electorates were disenfranchised following their inability to obtain Permanent Voter Cards. Some of the candidates who were disenfranchised include, APC Senate candidate from Ogun Central, Lanre Tejuoso , APC House of Representatives candidate, Mikhail Kazeem and former Special Assistant to former President Obasanjo on women affairs, Chief Mrs.Titilayo Ajanaku. Others who could ot vote were all electorate in ward 11 unit 21 as officials of Independent National Electoral Commissions failed to show up. Also at ward 10 unit 1 and 2 in Abeokuta North out of 704 registered voters only 18 people had PVCs and were allowed to cast their vote. At Ward 15, Unit 13 Polling Centre, Omida, Abeokuta, Buhari polled 118 votes, while Peoples Democratic Party got 47. Again at Ward 1, Unit 8, Ilawo Abeokuta North Local Government, Buhari polled 129, as againt Jonathan’s 28. At Ward 1, Unit 4, Buhari scored 129, while Jonathan managed to get 14. Also, results coming in from National Assembly elections, showed that APC candidates have defeated most of the PDP candidates; for example at Ward 15, Unit 13, for House of Representatives, APC candidate scored 49, while PDP candidate scored 16 and Social Democratic Party (PDP) polled nine. For the Senate, APC scored 49, PDP 21 and SDP 7. At Obasanjo’s ward, APC polled 98 as against PDP’s 8 and SDP 12 for the House of Representatives seat. For Senate, APC got 93, PDP 8 and SDP 15. At Ward 1, Unit 8, Ilawo, Abeokuta North local government, for the House of Representatives, APC scored 125 as against PDP’s 27. For the Senate, APC polled 126, PDP 28, SDP 3 and Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN), got 1. At Ward 1, Unit 4, Abeokuta North, for the House of Representatives, APC scored 126, PDP 17, while SDP got 5. For the Senate, APC polled 116 as against PDP’s 21 and SDP 9. Reports from many part of the state, indicated that the APC was leading in almost all the centres. The race was however, neck to neck between APC and PDP in Ijebu area of the state. The election was peaceful, as there was not major incident recorded so far. The former president, who spoke shortly after he was accredited by electoral officers at African Grammar School polling unit, Ward 11 in Abeokuta North Local Government of Ogun state, said that the election ” is a constitutional issue and every four years whether for all elective officers in Nigeria, we must go through this ritual”. He added: “What I have gone through is very okay, they checked my card, my finger print and they said it was okay and that I should come back and vote.” Ashimu Argungun, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Southwest zone, also said: “The election is perfectly alright, the election is going on smoothly, not only here, as you know, I am DIG Ashimu Argungun in charge of the Southwest for the election, almost from Lagos down to here and other Southwest, things are going on perfectly as expected, everybody is conducting themselves in line with the dictates of the election exercise. “In terms of peace, everything is going on peacefully, I can rate the level of peaceful conduct at 9+ per cent, even above that, in terms of peace even everywhere I visited, no fight, no argument of whatsoever.” In Ogun state, security agencies, including Army, Police, Civil Defence, SSS and other paramilitary were seen at every strategic points and polling units manning INEC sensitive materials and supporting electoral officers at polling booths, although there were some good numbers of men of Nigerian Army barricading major roads and streets, especially entry and exit roads in major cities of the state. Large turnout was witnessed almost every where in Ogun state despite heavy rain in Ado-Odo/Ota and some part of Ijebu in Ogun east, but defied rainfall and went to cast their ballots in a very peaceful manner, just as the observers were even ‘jobless’ since there were no strong challenges to attend to. Although, some challenges were encountered in some polling units in Ado-Odo/Ota, Abeokuta, Ilaro, Owode, Ijebu-Igbo, Ijebu-Ode, Sagamu among others as a result of malfunction and slow pace of card readers, INEC was however beat the situation as alternatives were provided in form of incidence forms to ease the voting processes in the affected areas.

Politics / No Waiting At Polling Booths After Voting – IG by aceguy1(m): 5:31am On Mar 20, 2015 |
The Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba, on Thursday warned voters to go back to their homes after casting their votes on election days. Abba, who addressed accredited observers for the general elections in Abuja, said the possibility of committing electoral offence was very high if voters stayed back at the polling booths for votes to be counted. He said that each polling unit would have at least two or three policemen to protect the votes cast by the electorate. The IG said, ‘‘Two to three police officers will be attached to each polling unit, and we would provide more officers for the collation centres and for the managers of the elections. “We will go on to protect the electorate. Every eligible voter should feel safe enough to cast his votes. We will be there to protect the votes and make sure no one disrupts the process. “Cast your votes and go and cool down. If you remain there, there is a likelihood that you will commit an offence.’’ The police chief advised political parties and their candidates to abide by “one agent to a polling unit,” which the electoral act stipulates. “Asking voters to wait and protect their votes implies taking the law into their own hands. It is unacceptable,” he said. Abba said the police were aware of threats by some politicians to declare parallel election results and warned that his men would deal with such act within the ambit of the law. He added, “We have heard some people are threatening to declare election results; we hope it is not true. If you don’t accept the declared result by INEC (Independent National Electoral Commission), the best way is to proceed to the tribunal. In advanced democracies, people don’t take the law into their own hands but resort to tribunals. “The refusal to accept the result and resort to extrajudicial activities is a threat to the electoral process. But where they don’t heed the appeal, the police will act within the law to protect the electoral process.” The IG said that the police would be loyal to the country, the constitution and all democratic activities before, during and after the elections in which 56,000 Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps officials and 129,000 non-regular personnel would be part of the security arrangements. While disclosing that the police have “arrested thousands of thugs” and “recovered hundreds of firearms” he condemned the recruitment of miscreants by politicians to achieve their goals. Abba noted that lateness in commencement of voting, delay in the provision of electoral materials, rigging and manipulation of results were serious threats to electoral process. He advised INEC to fasten the process of accreditation of voters on election days. The IG also said in a statement on Thursday that he had ordered tight security around all key and vulnerable points, including the headquarters and offices of INEC and media houses. Also to witness improved security are Internally Displaced Persons camps, service provider installations, banks, hospitals, National Youth Service Corps lodges, hotels and government offices. The measure, according to him, is to ward off possible attempt by hoodlums to attack such places . Abba urged the public to remain steadfast in collaborating with policemen to stamp out crimes, “as the police have perfected strategies to prepare a safe and secure ground to guarantee hitch-free March 28 and April 11, 2015 elections.” Efforts to speak with the APC spokesman, Lai Mohammed, did not yield result as calls to his telephone rang out. He also did not respond to a text message sent to him. Meanwhile, Abba has called for improved synergy between the police and para-military agencies under the Ministry of Interior for enhanced security during and after the polls. The IG made the call when he visited the Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, to strategise on better ways of guaranteeing security during the elections. He commended the efforts of security agencies in assisting the police in protecting lives and property, saying a lot has been done to ensure that security officers deployed for the polls adhered to best practices. The minister also expressed satisfaction with the synergy between the paramilitary agencies and the police. He noted that the rivalry that had earlier existed between the men of the NPF and other security agencies had been curbed. “I am pleased to note that the networking between the police and the para-military services during your tenure is commendable,” Moro said. The minister announced that 56,000 NSCDC personnel and 129,000 non-regular personnel of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, would be mobilised for the elections. He also appealed to the IG to beef up security in Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State where Fulani herdsmen killed over 80 people last Sunday. www.punchng.com/news/no-waiting-at-polling-booths-after-voting-ig/
