Anambra poll: Buhari, Tinubu, others protest at INEC headquarters
November 28, 2013


https://thenationonlineng.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/APC1.jpg



Top leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by a former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari defied police and military barricade to march on the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in protest against the shoddy conduct of the governorship poll in Anambra State.

They demanded outright cancellation of the election by INEC.

They also called for the resignation of INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega and dissolution of the management of the electoral body.



Reminiscence of pro-democracy struggle between 1993 and 1998 during the dark days of military era, the leaders trekked for about five kilometers from APC National Secretariat in Blantyre Street in Wuse II part of Abuja to Zambezi Crescent in Maitama District where INEC is located.

The initial stage of the trek was piloted by Governors Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun State) and Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti State) and many members of the National Assembly.

The great trek was later coordinated by a former National Secretary of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change, Engr. Buba Galadima.

General Muhammadu Buhari in UK:
I Will Maintain a Modest Lifestyle as President - Buhari...Will Resuscitate Nigerian Airways...All Presidential Aircrafts Will Be Brought Under
Nigerian Airways

"One of the major killer of our economy apart from corruption is Waste. Our scarce resources are being plunder away very carelessly and unnecessarily wasted. "Let me give an instance, presently, there are more than 6 aircraft in the presidential fleet.

What do you call that? "Billions of naira is budgeted every year for the maintenance of these aircraft not to talk of operational cost and other expenses.

"You may want to ask what a Nigerian President is doing with so much aircraft when a Prime Minister of Britain fly around using the same public aircraft like an ordinary Briton.

"Go and check and compare with that of any developed country in the world, the office of the Nigerian President is a very expensive one inspite our
high level of poverty and joblessness.

"Despite all these, you still find a Nigerian Minister spending about N10billion to charter an aircraft for just one year."Now, for me, when we come
into office, all these waste will be blocked and properly channelled into our economy. "We intend for instance, to bring back our National carrier, the Nigerian Airways."We shall do this by bringing all the aircraft in the presidential fleet into the Nigerian airway and within a year increase the fleet into about 20.

What is the Difference between me and those who elected us to represent them, absolutely nothing. Why should Nigerian President not fly with other Nigerian public? "Why do I need to embark on a foreign trip as a president with a huge crowd with public funds?"Why do I need to go for
foreign medical trip if we cannot make our hospital functional? "Why do we need to send our children to school abroad if we cannot developed our university to compete with the foreign ones?

"Why, and why must our people be servants to the foreigners in the midst of plenty? I can go on and on."I came here in the UK and I chose to trek just to make sure I sent a message back home to some people who wish us dead.

This is not my struggle, it is our collective efforts to save Nigeria from those who have failed us for 16 years."-

General0847:
Burna is King.

leokid866:
Don't mind him....they have allowed him into the senate nows so he has mouth to talk......

ajl:
That would take another 20 yrs.

bixton:
1) Let the government look at the MOUs signed with the respective discos and see who has achieved whatever meaningful if there is.......
2) Audit all accounts of companies.
3) Recall all license(s) of those in default. I'm certain all are in default.
4) Open a bidding and resell to reputable companies like GE, NLNG, ENI/SPDC (JV) and if there be any reputable company.
5) Let the companies enter into an MOU with communities where their equipment will be situated putting them into some sort of clusters. The government should have representatives and be on the known about each MOU.
6) Companies in 4 above like GE and ENI/SPDC(JV) should be responsible for generation and distribution of power for national grid, while NLNG be vested with the responsible of generation/distribution in cluster areas as done in Bonny Island and environs.
Let there be a 6 year review of all works done with an anticipated need to inject and increase power
7) Let the companies in 4 above be responsible to sort out subsidiaries responsible for monitoring, maintenance and billing.
Let anyone stealing power generation/distribution equipment be sentenced to death. Also anyone buying same equipment from anyone who is not licenced and an authority to sell same should be sentenced to death.
9) And lots more.

10)https://googleweblight.com/i?u=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electricity_consumption&hl=en-NG

If you look at the link you'll see that we are a very unserious nation. Though the source is CIA I can tell you that its not entirely true. If you use the international standard for electricity usage /consumption by any home on monthly/annual basis giving our desires for wastage, that amount stipulated there is even on the high side.

Tobichimezie:
The North has been in power for these long cause the South has simply refused to get its sh.it together and unite, stop overestimating yourselves, I know you are so happy seeing the disunity currently plaguing the South, but you idiots will be in for a rude awakening soon... we all know the North still ranks pathetically below in all indices of human and infrastructural development and growth in Nigeria... power is definitely coming to the South come 2023, and it doesn't matter which region gets it (whether SW, SE, SS). Forget the petty tribal innuendos here between Igbos and Yorubas, inwardly the greater South are consolidating their ace cards to permanently put the North where they rightfully belong - in the dustbin of socio-political irrelevance at all spheres.

fabianiyobosa:
How many of those countries have crude oil or are oil producing countries?

SolarRen:
How does one person weild that much power

careytommy37:
Dangote should remove the log in our eyes before attempting to remove the speck in the eyes of others

fabianiyobosa:
Lol. What a country!

Nigeria with all its trillions cannot build a refinery but a private citizen can!

What a joke of a country!

voltron14:
Exaggeration.

Go to any auto dealership and request for an electric car and watch them discourage you from such purchase.

yeyeboi:
Go and fix roads instead

SolarRen:
Puppet

sykeng:
What of those that are retiring of every year, no replacement for them. Naija matter self.

nabegibeg:
Why are you pained

bixton:
You're certainly a staff of the company.
Let a reputable auditing firm visit the books of these companies and all will be another story.

bixton:
The market is not working because those who bought the discos don't want it to work...........
If you like provide incentives for discos to be sold to well capitalised buyers: there are no well capitalised buyers. Those guys will in turn buy the companies back. When it comes to stealing our ingenuity is well expected. As long as government keeps giving these guys all manner of soft loans we will remain where we are.
If I may, how many of these discos have been able to accomplish just one item on their MOU?
Absolutely NONE.

nabegibeg:
PDP , when there is no money to steal and embezzle

omenka:
Whether they have zoned it or not is immaterial. What I just cant understand is Pdp's hatred and disregard for South East.

After all the years of relentless hard work for the party, the party has adamantly rejected tinkering with such an idea as a South East presidential ticket!

This is the height of hatred and disrespect any entity can give its benefactor.

harmless011:
