According to the PDP, the situation was so pathetic that a discomfited President Buhari could not articulate any message to support his re-election bid but told Nigerians to vote for any candidate of their choice in the general election.

The PDP said, “It was pitiable to watch Mr. President garble, as the audience who refused to carry APC broom also remained passive, while many started leaving the venue while he was still presenting his address.

“Ironically, President confessed that he had nothing new to tell Nigerians. If anything, the APC Presidential candidate, in his party’s usual penchant for false performance claims, alluded to a non-existent ‘market money’ which elicited heckles from the audience.

“The fact that a sitting President cannot attract a meaningful audience from the same state where a mammoth and overflowing crowd received Atiku Abubakar, just a week ago, further confirms that Nigerians, across the board, have indeed attained a consensus to return the PDP to power, come February 16, 2019.

“The PDP therefore charges President Buhari to counsel himself, end his desperation for power and spend the remaining days to prepare his hand over notes to Atiku Abubakar, so that our nation can be returned to the path of peace, national cohesion and economic prosperity, which has eluded us in almost four years.”

The United States government has reacted to the suspension of Justice Walter Onnoghen as the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).

The full statement from the US embassy is pasted below;

Statement on the Suspension and Replacement of the Chief Justice

The Embassy of the United States is deeply concerned by the impact of the executive branch’s decision to suspend and replace the Chief Justice and head of the judicial branch without the support of the legislative branch on the eve of national and state elections.

We note widespread Nigerian criticism that this decision is unconstitutional and that it undermines the independence of the judicial branch. That undercuts the stated determination of government, candidates, and political party leaders to ensure that the elections proceed in a way that is free, fair, transparent, and peaceful – leading to a credible result.

We urge that the issues raised by this decision be resolved swiftly and peacefully in accordance with due process, full respect for the rule of law, and the spirit of the Constitution of Nigeria. Such action is needed urgently now to ensure that this decision does not cast a pall over the electoral process.

Buhari’s social media aide, Lauretta Onochie in a post on her Twitter page said:

President Buhari won't steal from us
His friends won't steal from us
He won't let the
�Cartel steal from us

He won't even travel out of Nigeria without telling us
He won't travel without telling us why he's travelling

He respects us & we mean the world to him so we follow him blindly

There is no political motive behind the suspension of Justice Walter Onnoghen as the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), the Presidency has said.

Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, stated this in a telephone interview with Channels Television on Friday.

“As far as the President is concerned, this is just about fighting corruption,” he said on Politics Today.

He had explained that he took the decision at the request of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) over allegations that Justice Onnoghen failed to declare his assets.

The development has triggered mixed reactions across the country, including a call on the National Assembly by the Peoples Democratic People (PDP) to take legislative actions against the President.

But Adesina insisted that if there were people saying the President’s action has some political undertones despite the clarification he has made, such people have a right to their opinion.

He said, “As to what is on the President’s mind, he wrote a speech just before the swearing in of the acting CJN.

“He said the moral authority of Justice Walter Onnoghen has been wounded. He said it’s been so wounded that he should just have stepped down till the case is concluded, and that is why he had to now use the power vested in him, as directed by the Code of Conduct Tribunal.”

The presidential aide also faulted the claims that the President told the media that he was not aware of Justice Onnoghen’s arraignment.

He, however, said it was the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, who said the President was aware only on the Saturday preceding the arraignment on a Monday.

Adesina stressed that President Buhari had stated that the suspension of Justice Onnoghen was strictly in line with the anti-corruption war of his administration.

He quoted the President as saying, “Fellow Nigerians, we can only stand a chance to win the fight against corruption and position our dear nation for accelerated development when we stand together to contend against it.”

Election must hold

SalamRushdie:
As it stands the election will not hold

Oby Ezekwesili support Buhari in 2016

SalamRushdie:
Oby remains a national idiot !!!!

Oby Ezekwesili is one of the greatest disappointments of this era. She is a poster child for the maxim that those who stand for nothing, will fall for anything. She is one of those that fed Buhari’s dictatorial tendencies when he started this madness in 2016.

Dear obyezeks, you supported Buhari
when he started his war against the judiciary in 2016. On this same Twitter, I warned you and others like you that if you praised him then, you are only encouraging him to do worse. You contributed to this Oby.

The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organization [PDP, PCO] calls on the inec Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to ensure that the process of appointing electoral officers is transparent.

Members of the Buhari Media Group (BMG) and other APC support groups, hiding under the N-Power programme of the Buhari administration, must not be allowed to participate as electoral officers in any capacity and at any level in the general elections.

Our party also insists that no university Vice Chancellor or lecturer, who, at any point in time has manifested or expressed any form of partisanship, should be allowed to participate in the electoral process.

The PDP, PCO further insists that names of all electoral officers at all levels must be made public ahead of the elections, for all stakeholders to assess the neutrality of such officers in their respective constituencies.

We invite the INEC Chairman to note that we are aware that Mrs. Amina Zakari, President Buhari’s relation by marriage in inec, is already coordinating compromised lecturers &other partisan individuals that will pander to her ploys to manipulate the Presidential election.

The PDP, PCO therefore demands that the process must be checked and conducted with strict compliance with the assurances of the @inecnigeria Chairman, that it will be credible and transparent.

The PDP, PCO restates that the PDP and our Presidential candidate, Alhaji @Atiku , as well as all our candidates in all the elections at all levels are ready and set for the elections.

National Council of State,what will you gain by ‘cutting 3k from 30k’,in a nation where even Government agencies are declaring ‘record breaking’ Billions and trillions in revenues

The Nigeria Labour Congress has rejected the N27,000 new national minimum wage adopted by the National Council of States on Tuesday.

The NLC Secretary-General, Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja.

According to him, the council has no jurisdiction determining another amount after a Tripartite Committee had submitted its report.

“It is abysmal of government to be delaying the submission of an Executive Bill to the National Assembly and by wrongfully adopting N27,000 through the council of states,” he said.

However, Ozo-Eson said the NLC has scheduled an emergency National Executive Council meeting for Friday to weigh on the deadline given to government within which to submit an executive bill to the National Assembly.

The NLC scribe added that the Federal Government was only projecting a shutdown of the economy with its latest action.

“This is because workers should not be held responsible for any development after its NEC meeting on Friday,’’ he said.
