Mbaka has shot himself on the foot, Just because of personal issues. "Under the wrong spirit"...He wasn't under the influence of any spirit in my opinion, He was just being emotional.

Men of God indeed.

THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of covering up candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in next month’s presidential election, General Muhammadu Buhari, over the controversy surrounding his certificate.

However, the APC Presidential Campaign Council immediately berated the PDP over the statement, advising it to face the current trouble in Baga, Borno State, rather than commenting on Buhari’s certificate saga.

The ruling PDP, at a press conference held in Abuja on Saturday, also accused the electoral umpire of acts capable of undermining current democratic experience.

“It has been brought to our attention that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), either by error of omission or commission, may be engaged in acts that do not support the advancement of democracy, the rule of law and the strict adherence to the letters and the spirit of electoral laws in Nigeria.

“His (Buhari’s) inability to present even the minimum requirement of just a leaving school certificate questions his moral and other credentials for pursuing the position of the president of Nigeria. The current emerging shocking disclosures bring to the fore how and what qualifications were used to recruit him into the military without a minimum school leaving certificate, where he rose to the rank of a General and even became the head of state through a military coup that truncated a democratically-elected government in 1983,” PDP said.

While putting the INEC on the spot, the ruling party noted that it had become known that General Buhari did not present any certificate, even for the 2011 presidential election.

“The question must be asked; is Buhari or any other citizen qualified to contest election into the office of the president without meeting the minimum constitutional requirement? The Nigerian constitution at Section 131 unequivocally states that: ‘A person shall be qualified for election to the office of president if: (a) He is a citizen of Nigeria by birth; (b) He has attained the age of forty years; (c) He is a member of a political party and is sponsored by that political party; and (d) He has been educated up to at least school certificate level or its equivalent.’

“It is to be noted that section 131 (d) is a specific directional order for all candidates to show proof of education up to a minimum standard not below school certificate or its equivalent.

“But from what INEC has published, Buhari has not submitted any personal particular of minimum school leaving certificate for the 2015 election and shockingly, from INEC documents displayed in all constituencies, he also did not submit anything in 2011 and never referred the umpire then to the secretary of the Military Board as well as previous elections he contested as evidenced in all available INEC records until this current discovery.

“If the constitution did not require proof, it would not specify a minimum. To strengthen this claim, the extant Electoral Act directs that such proof must be sworn to by each candidate at a court.

“In Section 31 (2) to (5), it says: ‘The list of information submitted by each candidate shall be accompanied by an affidavit sworn to by the candidate at the Federal High Court, High Court of a state or the FCT, indicating that he has fulfilled all the constitutional requirements for election into that office.’

“It should be noted that for elections to the office of the president and for the purpose of display of particulars of candidates for all presidential elections, the entire country is taken as one constituency i.e. the 774 local government areas of the 36 states, including the FCT where these particulars have been displayed.

“For Nigerians that have perused the affidavit of nomination as submitted by General Buhari, as published in all INEC offices, as well as the copies of his similar INEC documentations for 2011, it clearly reveals that a man who claims to be of integrity has not been true to Nigerians.

“It can be seen that as indicated in Section 31 (6), there is reasonable grounds to believe that a false deponent was declared in the affidavit where it indicates that all documents relating to the personal particulars of General Buhari are with the secretary of the Military Board.

PDP went ahead to query the electoral body on why it appeared to have placed Buhari above the law of the land.

It said: “The question to ask INEC is: Is Buhari above the law of the land or should we suspend or amend the law to accommodate him?

“It is common knowledge that Military Board, like any other, does not keep or retain original copies of personal particulars of individuals, such as birth certificates, passports and academic credentials, especially retired personnel of over three decades.

“It must be stated that INEC erred in law by publishing the name of a candidate without receiving the personal particulars of the candidate within seven days of receiving his nomination forms as indicated in section 31 (3).

“This is, indeed, a tragedy illustrating what Nigeria has become; that an individual is so powerful that the law has to be ignored to accommodate him. Certainly, INEC-printed nomination forms or High Court affidavits are in no way or by any stretch of definition, the same as personal particulars, such as school leaving certificate.”

I hope APC will respond appropriately without insults.

So there was APC in 2010? How dumb can you be? The same MEND Jonathan defended that they were innocent of the bomb blast?

You're just dumb!

President Goodluck Jonathan says the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) wanted to assassinate him in the October 1, 2010 bombing at the Eagle Square, Abuja.

He was speaking at the Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos on Thursday, during the flag-off of his presidential campaign while reacting to the endorsement of his opponent, Muhammadu Buhari, by the militant group led by Henry Okah, who is in prison in South Africa for gun-running.

Twelve persons were killed in the 2010 attack, while 17 others were injured.

Accusing the opposition of orchestrating a campaign of calumny against him, particularly on social media, he said his administration had improved the lot of Nigerians in many regards.

“I saw a headline in one of the newspapers, saying MEND dumps Jonathan, did you see it?” he asked.

“The leader of MEND is Henry Okah, Okah is in prison in South Africa, not even in Nigeria, where they could have said I influenced it. He is in prison because he wanted to assassinate me by bombing Eagle Square. The intelligence service got the information and I was driven into the Eagle Square in a hurry.

“Now he is endorsing some people, is that the kind of country you want? Do you want Nigeria to go backward or forward?”

Jonathan, who said his message was meant for first-time voters, added that he intended using his campaign to respond to criticisms of his government by the opposition in the areas of insecurity, corruption and weak government.

“My message is for young people, because 2015 election is for the young people,” he said.

“This country belongs to you. Those people who say they want to take over power from the PDP have told a lot of lies. First, let me tell you about voter cards. Only yesterday, I directed INEC to make sure that all Nigerians get their voter cards.

“Before 2011, people were just voting themselves into office, there was nothing like voter cards. And I also want to advise the young people here, particularly the first-time voters, you must vote wisely.

“It is either you vote for freedom or you vote otherwise. Some people want to take Nigeria backward, is that what you want? Do you want to go back to the era when there was no freedom, when your uncles were being jailed anyhow?” he asked.

“Some people believe that the only way to fight corruption is to get people arrested and show them on television. So immediately I suspect your uncle, I would just pick him up and throw him into Kirikiri. Is that how to fight corruption? Is that what you want?

“They built prisons for you, but I built you schools. They say they want to jail all their enemies and lock them up, but me, I have no enemies to fight because my interest is your interest and your interest my interest.”
