Chief George Moghalu is the National Auditor of the governing All Progresives Congress (APC). A seasoned politician and an administrator, he is one of the party leaders from the south east who fought day and night to ensure that President Muhammadu Buhari gets an appreciable number of votes from the region.

In this interview with Tony Akowe, he speaks on the outcome of the just concluded Presidential election and the need to streamline the large number of political parties in the country.

THE APC again won the Presidential election without a significant contribution from the South East. What went wrong

The truth about it is that we did not achieve our desired expectations. I would have wished that we did alot better than we did in this election even though anybody on the side line would say it is an improvement on the poor outing in 2015. Certainly, we should have done better than we did because the government has been quite responsive to the south east. The President has shown great love and has done so many great and strategic things for us in the south east that should warrant our doing better than we did. But politics is all about what it is and you can never predict. I feel personally disappointed and I am sure that some other leaders also feel disappointed. I really can not access whether it is because our people have not actually understood the political implication because we are trying to seize a platform that we can use to actualise our ambition vis a viz 2023. So, i thought that this election was an opportunity for us to take over the platform and move in aggressively and take over the platform. But probably it was because one of us was given the Vice Presidential ticket of the other party or whatever. I really cant explain what went wrong. But I think it was not a good political move for us. But I believe very strongly that with time, it will continue to improve. We, as leaders of the party from the south east have an added responsibility to work harder to get our people to understand.

What do you think that the re-election of President Buhari mean for Nigerians?

For me, it is a reaffirmation and an expression of confidence. It is like telling somebody, you have done well and it places greater challenge. If you listen to the speech of the President when he received his certificate of return, it will show you a man that understand the added responsibility this re-election has given to him, it show you a man who has really dedicated himself to doing better than he has done. He has done quite well especially when you look at all the promises we made when we were coming in in 2015 as a party coming into government. Even at that, he has done extremely well and he believe also that with this re-election, Nigerians have said thank you for what you have done, but we expect you to do more. It is about Nigeria and not about him. So, it is a very welcome development. Its a wonderful thing that has happened and I know since this has happened, our party and government will still do more to justify the confidence of the Nigerian people.

There are those who believe that they worked for they worked for the party in 2015 and were not rewarded. Many of them have made more sacrifice, expecting thing to be better. What is your message to them?

Let us all be patient. Mr. President has said that things will be better and we also have a national chairman we believe that there should be a way of appreciating those who work for you as a way of encouraging them. He believe that doing so will also encourage others to know that loyalty pays, hard work pays and commitment also pays. I am sure that these set of people will not be forgotten this time around.

There is the believe that the position of the President on the leadership of the National Assembly was a tactical error that hunted the government so much. How will the party handle this issue this time around?

I am sure that the party has a role to play. All these people coming for the first time and those who got re-elected contested on the party platform. So, there is a canopy under which everybody is sitting and that canopy is the party. I am sure that with the dynamic leadership we have now, headed by Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the party will do what it is supposed to do. Once that is done, I am sure we will not have any problem. I am sure that all those elected believe in party supremacy and the fact tat the party has a role to play because it is the party that was elected. All the candidates are representatives of the party and i am sure they will subject themselves to the decisions of the party.

The opposition PDP said this election was a sham and their Presidential candidate said he was challenging the outcome at the tribunal. What is your view.

For me, every election must have only one winner and in this case, Buhari is the winner. Don’t forget that before Buhari was elected President, he lost election on three occasion and in all these three instances, he felt that a few things went wrong and he sought protection in the court. This is his right and he exercised it. If the PDP candidate has evidence of things he felt were not properly done, he has a right to either say this is the will of God, let us move on as a nation because Nigeria comes first before my ambition or I will go to court to prove my case. The two options are open to him. It is for him now to make his own choice. I am yet to see that election that would have been concluded and the loser comes out to say this is a wonderful election, except for our experience in 2015 when former President Jonathan conceded even before the final results were announced. For me, the election was not a sham, but a highly contested election and everybody knows that. Don’t forget that the President travelled to the 36 states of this country including the FCT. I don’t know whether the leadership of the other party did what we did by way of campaign. I understand how he felt. I have lost election before, so, I understand the feelings of the candidate of the PDP. My suggestion would have been, yes it has happened and the best thing to do is to congratulate the winner. If they don’t want to do that, they have a right to go to court to seek redress. As for the election, it was one of the freest and fairest in this country.

Considering the massive crowd that we saw at the campaign rallies of both parties, would you say the voter turnout was impressive?

The voter turn out was quite impressive because at the end of the day, we are looking at a voter turn out of about 28 million which i quite a huge number even though it did not meet up with our registered population. But you wont lose sight of the fact that we still need to continue voter education. Election is not a one off thing. Right now, notice has been given for the 2023 election because once you declare the result of a Presidential election, you have given notice of the next one. It require all of us, both the political players and the electoral umpires going back to the books to find out what we must do to encourage more voter turn out and what we must do to let our people know the importance of our PVC. As we get more people educated and politically aware, the volume will keep increasing. So, we need to sustain voter education. Like in our party, we are looking at doing things beyond the election, turning the party into an institution and not only just for election. We should have other roles to play and not only as a platform for contesting elections. We should go beyond that. Within this period that notice has been given, we need to keep up voter education and increase membership. If you look at the percentage of membership of the political parties, it is usually less than 20 percent of the population. Why cant we ensure that over 60 percent of registered voters in the country are members of our parties. So, we have alot of work to do. While we are doing that, INEC also have alot of work to do to perfect these card readers, perfect the voters register and other things that will help them so that we don’t start running from pillar to post one week to election trying to do things we would have done when we have time available to us. So, I think we need to sustain voter education and keep encouraging people to be part of the electoral process.

How would you rate the performance of INEC and the security agents in this election.

For me, there is quite an improvement from what happened in 2015 irrespective of the fact that INEC failed us when the postponed the election. But it was better for the election to be postponed than having something that is not worth the while. So, I think there is quite some level of improvement from what was done in 2015 which we all adjudged as reasonably ok compared to previous elections. So, what has happened now is that INEC did their best and we need to encourage them, we need to support them and build that electoral institution so that it wont be a one off thing. So, what we need to do is to support and encourage them and then address the areas of lapses critically. For example, the challenges of the card reader has continued to reoccur. We need to address that issue once and for all and get over with it. On the issue of the security, I think they did quite well despite the challenges. As we talk about voter education, you should understand that those who run he security agencies are also Nigerians and are entitled to good representation and good leadership. When people talk about security agencies, they speak as if they are come from the moon or as if they don’t buy from the same market. They also need to be part of what is happening and so, voter education and citizen responsibility, they should also be part of it because once you keep educating them, they become part of the system and then understand that there is a way you do policing during the election without military presence. Some people argued that we don’t need the Army to be involved and I said they should be involved to avoid threat to national security. They are not participating in the voting, but provide additional security. From what has been reported, when the Army arrest people, they hand them over to the police because it is the primary responsibility of the police. So, the Army is providing additional security because that is their primary responsibility. I think they did quite well and we need to support them.

We have so may political parties on the ballot and there is this argument that there is the need to streamline the parties and make them stronger. Do you think we should reduce the number of parties?

I think the number is becoming very unwealthy. In this last election, we had 73 political parties that contested the Presidency and some of them came out with very ridiculous scores in country where we have over 80 million registered voters. That goes to show that some people have turned it into a joke. I think we must create the base. For me, if you don’t have representation in the National Assembly, you don’t have a reason to exist as a political party. So, i am of the school of thought that the number is unwealthy and we must create opportunities on how the number can be reasonably reduced. If you notice the trend now, it is going towards a two party system. It is all about APC, PDP while the others re there in number. Some people may be excited being called National Chairman. That may be the basis for their satisfaction and so, you allow that to massage their ego. Other wise I don’t think it is necessary have political parties that year after year, don’t win even a councillor and are still being called political parties. There are some names I saw n screen that I cant even remember if I have seen them before or what they stand for. I think the number is quite high and something need to be done in that regard.

http://thenationonlineng.net/igbos-didt-consider-implications-of-not-voting-buhari-moghalu/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

I'm from the middle belt n I seriously feel an Igbo leadership of Nigeria will benefit me more therefore I'm very sympathetic to the Igbo political cause but I'm afraid to say that the igbos shall continue to pay for their political ineptitude for a long time to come,at Independence igbos were in good condition to dominate this country,the igbos controlled the army,zik was president even though ceremonial but influential, poor political calculations cause nzeogwu n his kinsmen to execute the jan 1966 coup in a biased manner that eventually led to war, Ekwueme brought the idea of rotational presidency that helped the country alot but when it faced challenge after the death of yar'adua the igbos betrayed it spirit due to short-sightedness, when Apc was to been form igbos couldn't present a common front(okorocha's greed), without any concrete assurance from Apc of an Igbo presidency in 2023 igbos are now blaming themselves for not voting buhari where as the yorubas who has invested more in Apc are already laying claims to the same presidency come 2023, during censuses n voter registrations while the hausas will be moving back to their states to register the igbos will be reluctant or refused to so outrightly, during elections even the few that registered due to pressure hardly comes out to vote (check records of registered voters n no of votes casted in the Eastern states during elections)but will be making all sorts of demands,the igbos could have organized themselves and demanded for a concrete promise from Atiku if positive then work for him/obi but what do I know,now igbos thinks patronising the hausa/fulani is what would guarantee them the presidency,if the igbos don't take time to review the political history of Nigeria n their mistakes in it while fashioning out delibrate strategic means to achieve their goal rather than believing that their aspirations will be achieved on a platter of gold they shall wait for only God knows when,the events of Jan 1966 that open the eyes of the hausa/fulani to the need to hold vehemently on to political n military/security dominance in this country n the subsequent benefits they have enjoyed from it will remain indelible in their minds n they shall continue to pass it on from generation to generation,so moghalu n his likes should better think deeper instead of plane infatuations with buhari/Apc that hasn't promised them anything.its likely that I'm going to be insulted a lot for this post but after the insults please let's do some retrospective meditations perhaps a truthful inspiration can be found.

Bungalow:
How many times have Hause/Fulani come out to claim they own Lagos or Lagos is no mans land .
Continue your empty chestbeating
You people are as useless as the p in psychology

Did igbos claimed Lagos?,the truth of the matter is everything that's happening is just to instill fear into the igbos who are most likely to vote for pdp so that they may not vote unlike the hausas that are pro Apc,but I know for a fact that yorubas can't threatened the hausas like they the way they are doing to igbos now, I'm not Igbo but that's the truth.The unending animosity between the yorubas n the Igbos is the reason why the hausa/fulani has gotten the chance to play the rest parts of the country for fools,you can go on n brag about what you people are doing to the igbos in Lagos for whatever reason but remember nothing last forever, injustice is not what anyone should celebrate.

astana1:
The Oodua People’s Congress has warned the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra against attacking any Yoruba territory based on the alleged attack on Igbo in Lagos State after the presidential and National Assembly polls.

The President of OPC, Rasaq Arogundade, gave the warning in a statement made available to SUNDAY PUNCH in Lagos.


Arogundade’s statement was in reaction to an earlier statement by the Publicity Secretary of the IPOB, Emma Powerful, which claimed that Igbo residents living in Lagos State were attacked during the last Presidential and National Assembly elections and were prevented from voting for the candidates of their choice.

The IPOB publicity secretary alleged that the attack might have been orchestrated by some Fulani people against the Igbo who he said had been victims of such attacks in some parts of the country before now.

The OPC boss said contrary to the claims of Powerful, there was no Igbo stronghold anywhere in Lagos State or any part of Yoruba land, saying such claims were not true.

The statement read, “The Igbo are again exhibiting lack of contentment and appreciation of divine goodness in their lives. Where in Igboland are strangers accorded the privileges being enjoyed by Igbo in Lagos and Yorubaland? Igbo have lived peacefully in Lagos and the entire Yorubaland for ages. They carry out their business and own property unmolested.

“As a matter of correction, there is no single Igbo stronghold in Lagos or any other part of Yorubaland. What exist are areas of high concentration of Igbo dwellers, who live side by side other immigrants and indigenes.”

He stated that Igbo had always been treated well and given opportunity to be elected into the Lagos State House of Assembly and were represented at the state executive council.

“It is no coincidence that Yorubaland (South-West Nigeria) has been the most peaceful part in Nigeria. The relative peace is not because of fear or cowardice but a deliberate policy of our forebears, who after fighting many wars, have resolved to make peaceful and communal living the way of life.


“That we are accommodating and friendly should not be misconstrued as a weakness or sign of timidity as the OPC is fully ready to repel any attack on Yoruba territory from any quarter,” Arogundade added.

Can opc threatened hausa/fulani like this?, I'm not Igbo but what buhari has allowed Tinubu to be doing in Lagos all in the name of working for his electoral successes in very bad, unpatriotic n dangerous for the country's unity.

That was clearly Apc in action n by buhari's definition it can't be corruption!, same case with the Tinubu bullio vans!, useless bunch of bigoted hypocrites forming saints,it such a pity that there are so many zombies.

Vickthore:
Falana never said he was Gani. He is d most unbiased analyst v seen recently

Look falana thinks he is smart,one moment he is cunningly courting Apc when it doesn't favours him he tries to be independent,in an unsure situation he quickly jump on to the fence,such persons of fluid character n views are usually untrustworthy n not reliable at all.

ijustdey:
Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr Femi Falana, has said that he would have been surprised if the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had won.

He said this during an interview on Hard Copy, a Channels Television programme which airs on Fridays and monitored by our correspondent.

He said that Atiku’s emergence has negative implications, adding that his chances of winning in court are “tough”.

He said: “I would have been surprised if Atiku had won. Atiku’s emergence has negative implications. He will have to defend many negative comments by Obasanjo.

“He is under investigation by the United States Government. He never came out to deny the representation that he will enrich his friends. Atiku was going to sell the NNPC to his friends.”

Asked if Atiku could win in court, Falana said: “Atiku’s chances in court are very tough.”

https://www.independent.ng/i-would-have-been-surprised-if-atiku-had-won-falana/amp/

By this statement falana has clearly displayed his bias n hatred for Atiku, whether Atiku was corrupt n buhari has integrity or whatever is not the issue here, Nigerians made there choice n the choice should be respected,if any of the parties felt agrieved they have the right to go to court n fight their case out,falana's views are not law,the major difference between falana n gani is that while Gani stood by his words falana often speah with both sides of his tongue.

@POLITICSNGR

Despite a resounding victory in the just concluded presidential elections, the battles within the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, seem far from over as the Party's National Working Committee, NWC, has suspended Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha and Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun.

PoliticsNGR learned that both politicians have also be recommended for expulsion from the party. This development was announced on Friday afternoon in Abuja after an NWC meeting.

Okorocha and Amosun won senatorial seats in last Saturday's National assembly elections.

The suspension is coming shortly after both governors were accused of 'Anti-Party' activities following their support for Gubernatorial candidates from different parties.

But Apc don't dare suspends Tinubu despite all the clear illegalities he has been perpetrating in Lagos in blatant disregards and affront of the party,Apc buhari n hypocritical bias is 5&6.

Ebullience:
Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has revealed that party members collected dollars on offer by Atiku Abubakar in the leadup to the 2015 presidential election.

However, he said that they still ended up handing the party’s ticket to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Oshiomhole said this on Thursday during a 'World Press Conference' he held in Abuja, as a follow-up to the one by Atiku on Wednesday, dring which the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate described Saturday’s election as the worst in Nigeria’s history.

After attacking Atiku for jumping from party to party since leaving office as Vice President in 2007, Oshiomhole recounted how Atiku bribed APC members ahead of the 2014 presidential primary of the APC: “He joined us in Lagos, rolled out the dollars, and President Muhammadu Buhari had to say to APC people, myself inclusive: ‘I have no dollars to give. I do not have Intel or Itel [sic]; I do not have foreign account, and even if I have I will not give. All I offer is all my heart.

“The APC guys who couldn’t resist Atiku’s dollars collected those dollars, and voted for Buhari as our candidate.”

This elections were rigged no doubt but I won't advice Atiku to go to court as that would just be a case of a cockroach seeking justice in a court which the chicken is the judge, buhari n Apc had all this planned out, onnoghen's travails is certainly connected to this.what I'm mostly concerned about this elections is the dangerous precedence buhari has set,now the north can choose to retain power for as long as they wish,with their highly inflated voting strength made up of large underaged voters,all they need do is control n dominate the security apparatus of the country n they are good to go,it was Alex ekwueme who brought the idea of rotational presidency in the formation of pdp in 1998,that idea helped to give pdp wide acceptance n calm the very tensed situation in the country then, even though the idea was later abused,pdp remains the only party with rotational presidency as a policy APC doesn't,2023 is definitely going to be dicey already the SE N SW are at each other's throat,the northern hawks in APC might just capitalize on that n play out the south.As it is now buhari has virtually becomes a strong man with almost no one to question his actions and he is been supported by Southerners who in the present state of crumbs from political influence thinks they are important but inadvertently only shooting themselves in the foot.

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has reacted to the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari at the February 23 presidential election.

The aggrieved former Vice President says the election was not free and fair.

He says there “were manifest and premeditated” malpractices in many states which negate the results announced.

Atiku said he will seek justice the democratic way by heading to court.

Below is his full statement.

“Democracy Will Not Be Emasculated in Nigeria

I thank the Nigerian people who trooped out in their millions to perform their civic duty this past Saturday. The patriotism of Nigerians is heartwarming and affirms my oft-repeated statement that we are brothers and sisters born from the womb of one mother Nigeria.

With regards to the Presidential elections that took place on February 23, 2019, it is clear that there were manifest and premeditated malpractices in many states which negate the results announced.



Another glaring anomaly is the disruption of voting in strongholds of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos, Akwa-Ibom, Rivers and diverse other states, with the authorities doing little or nothing and in some cases facilitating these unfortunate situations. (See attached links to documentary evidences).

The militarization of the electoral process is a disservice to our democracy and a throwback to the jackboot era of military dictatorship. In some areas of the country, such as, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Imo states, troops deployed for the elections turned their guns on the very citizens they were meant to protect. This is condemnable and should not be associated with our electoral process in the future.

I am a democrat and there are democratic avenues available to present the truth to the nation and the watching world. Already, many international observers have given their verdicts, which corroborate our observations. I am sure more will come in the coming hours and days.

If I had lost in a free and fair election, I would have called the victor within seconds of my being aware of his victory to offer not just my congratulations, but my services to help unite Nigeria by being a bridge between the North and the South.

However, in my democratic struggles for the past three decades, I have never seen our democracy so debased as it was on Saturday, February 23, 2019. 2007 was a challenge, but President Yar’Adua was remorseful. In 2019, it is sad to see those who trampled on democracy thumping their noses down on the Nigerian people.

Consequently, I hereby reject the result of the February 23, 2019 sham election and will be challenging it in court.

I want to assure my supporters and the entire Nigerian people that together, we will not allow democracy to be emasculated.

Waziri Atiku Abubakar

Even though I strongly supported pdp/Atiku n I agree completely with what Atiku has said,I will advise him n the party to forget about going to court,the travails of onnoghen are all about this scenario n it's only going to get worse, buhari will rather the country burn down than honourably loose power no matter what.A pointer to the desperation n hypocrisy of the man buhari is Lagos,were from the primaries to the elections buhari has given Tinubu the full authority to carry out whatsoever illegalities just to serve his purpose,the militarisation of the elections in the south is another pointer.

Tony Okafor, Awka

The vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr Peter Obi, has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission of disenfranchising over eight million eligible voters in the South-East during the February 23 presidential election.

He said the election was deliberately programmed to ensure that the zone did not participate fully.

Obi made the allegation on Tuesday at a press conference held in Onitsha, Anambra State.

He said that out of the 10 million registered voters in the zone, only about 20 per cent were able to cast their votes.

He said, “You will recall that on election day, I said the process was clumsy and we also had a major problem with malfunctioning card readers. Most people couldn’t vote as a result.

“When over 4,000 card readers got burnt, it became clear that something was wrong somewhere and the Independent National Electoral Commission could neither save the situation nor allow people to vote manually.

“But in some other parts of the country, people were allowed to vote manually and it was accepted by the electoral body.

“How can you tell me that states like Yobe and Borno produced more voters than Anambra and Ebonyi states put together?

“The two states have been at war. I wonder how they got card readers that were working so well, despite the war situation in which they found themselves.”

Obi noted that Nigeria failed to build on the achievements of the 2015 general election.

http://giditrendz.com/peter-obi-accuses-inec-of-disenfranchising-eight-million-south-east-voters/

The northerners n Muslims supporting buhari knows exactly why they are doing so for buhari serves their interest very well but for the Southerners n especially the Christians who are willing to destroy one another for buhari come 2023 they shall realized their folly,I sympathize with obi but what happened was pre-planned n supported by some of his kinsmen,what the Southerners should know now is this, buhari has shown that the north can choose to hold on to power for as long as they like with their inflated underaged voting strength,by controlling the security apparatus of this country n leveraging on the greed n disunity of the Southerners to set them against each other,the Southerners especially the Christians would have to quickly find ways of removing the animosity n disunity amongst them or they shall continue to lament n grumble while the "illiterate n poverty" north shall continue to scoff at them while the clandestine pursuit of the Islamic agenda Continue until it becomes too late.

vicdom:
Hmmmmm..... You don't know the history of Buhari in Nigeria An Average Norther Muslim fundamentalist values religion before any other thing. And Buhari based on both his current and antecedents has been a promulgator and a champion of Islamic cause in Nigeria. It's evident in his appointments and other clandestine ways of promoting Islamic cause in Nigeria. I have a very close Muslim co worker who hails from Kano state, but because he's exposed, he confided in me and revealed to me the main reason an average Islamic fundamentalist, be it from the North or from the south likes the man. Nothing else!!

You really knew the man buhari,but those that don't will just swallow the "buhari is honest with integrity"gibberish n supporting him blindly where as the man is just a dangerous green snake in green grass pursuing sectional interests n this is very dangerous for the country.

humnsikan:
Simple Logic:
Final results announced by INEC must be equal to the sum of the results announced by INEC staff at each polling unit across the country. These polling unit results are sacrosanct and not hidden since all contesting political parties were represented at such units. It is just tasking to sum them together; however, PDP and many Foreign observers are using aParallel Voting Tabulation (PVT) technology that assists them to do the addition effortlessly. If the results declared by INEC differs from those tabulated by the PVT, then there's an obvious problem. It is on the basis of the PVT result, which is simply the sum of INEC's own results at the polling units, that the PDP is asking to be declared winner.

It is as simple as that my brother but Apc will never allow the process to go seamlessly,if not for pre-planned violence by thugs tacitly supported by the military under federal instructions n targeted specifically at pdp strong holds Atiku/pdp victory in this elections shouldn't be in doubt, buhari has shown his true hypocritic colours completely devoid of any integrity,the worst example of this is the free hand he had given to Tinubu to perpetrate all sorts of criminality in Lagos just to serve him buhari from the fraudulent primaries to the atrocities that has trail the elections in Lagos.

It has come to our knowledge from insiders within the PDP Campaign Council who are making last-minute efforts to switch allegiance to President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress that the PDP is currently recruiting armed thugs and miscreants nationwide to attack ward and local government collation centres this evening till the wee hours of tomorrow morning.

The purpose is to disrupt the collation process of the elections nationwide in order to cause crises and make this election inclusive. As we know, most of these collation centres are usually in schools or other places that are poorly protected.

This is therefore a clarion call to all law enforcement agencies to mobilise extra armed security to protect all collation centres nationwide. We also appeal to Nigerians of goodwill and our supporters to provide standby electricity this night at these collation centres.

We also call on all our party agents, supporters and patriotic Nigerians to stick with these election results from the various units up to the State Collation Centres. There is no cause for any political party at this stage to jubilate or be dejected. Nothing has been won and nothing has been lost. Official results have not been declared. Hence we call for eternal vigilance on the part of our agents and supporters.

We repeat: NOBODY SHOULD JUBILATE NOW AND ABANDON HIS/HER DUTIES. LET US KEEP OUR FEET FIRMLY ON THE GROUND AND STICK WITH OUR ASSIGNED ROLE(S) UNTIL FINAL RESULTS ARE DECLARED BY INEC.

Thank you.

It is no more news that the petrol tankers and other articulated trucks are back on some major expressways and flyovers in Lagos state.

Note that Lagosians got a brief respite about two weeks ago when the Presidential campaign train hit the nation’s commercial capital.

During that brief period, the roads was free-flow of vehicular traffic on those routes. Journey times were cut by half or less, sanity was temporarily restored on these routes.

The menace of parked trailers on expressways and bridges has become a hopeless situation in Lagos. Efforts by the successive Lagos state government to relocate these trucks from the expressways yielded no result.

Several bridges along the way are not spared of their presence and enormous weights. The bridges include Ojuelegba, Abati, Stadium, Ijora, Iganmu, Eko, Carter and Jibowu bridges.

The temporary relocation of the trucks from the expressways and bridges weeks ago got a lot of people wondering why the trucks were not kept where they were relocated to permanently.

Or are the authorities insincere about relocating these trucks?

The simple solution is for buhari to be visiting Lagos daily.

Voters in Buni yadi, the headquarters of Gujba local government area of Yobe State, have threatened to boycott elections as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, relocated voting to Damaturu, the Yobe state capital.

Last Sunday, Boko Haram militants launched an attack on military brigade in Buni yadi, killing an officer and 3 soldiers before they were neutralised by the military.

Speaking to Daily Trust on Friday, aggrieved electorate claimed that INEC’s decision was motivated by elites that had refused to return to their ancestral homes.

INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state Alhaji Ahmad Makama told our correspondent that the voting areas were relocated to Damaturu after a careful security considerations by heads of security, INEC and all other stakeholders in the council.

“The securities had declared the area unsafe for the election. So safety of live is not guaranteed and we cannot expose our men and materials to any insecurity. That is why we relocated them to Damaturu,” he said.

Alhaji Lawan Garin Goni, the Sarkin Malamai of Buni yadi, said the relocation of the centres to Damaturu would disenfranchise not less than 70 percent voters in the town.

He said that many people said they would not leave their families behind to travel and cast their votes in Damaturu.

“I have not less than thirty registered voters under me. Now only me would go and vote, my wives and students that are eligible voters will not go as far as Damaturu to vote. That would be the problem in every household, ” he said.

Mamman Sarkin Fawa, said that electorate in the town were enthusiastic about the election until the late evening’s announcement.

“As community leader, I must go and vote, but I want to assured you that 90 percent would not vote this time around because people here are looking for money to feed, let alone transporting themselves to Damaturu for election,” he explained.

After the elections pdp should insist on the biometrics investigations of the voters in such relocated polling units simple, this is clear fraud,if the area is insecured let the elections in such areas be cancelled period.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says any underage person caught trying to participate in the electoral process will be arrested, along with their sponsors.

Professor Mahmood Yakubu, the INEC Chairman, stated this on Friday in Abuja while briefing stakeholders on the updated preparations of the commission for the rescheduled presidential and National Assembly elections slated for Saturday, February 23, 2019.

He stressed that underage voting remains an illegality as the statutory age for voting remains 18.

His words: “Underage voting is an illegality because there is a statutory age for eligibility, for registration as a voter. If on election day, you find anyone that is apparently underage or conclusively, kindly report this to any official of the commission or the security agencies.

“Working with the Inspector General of Police, I said that any underage person caught trying to be accredited or voting on election day will be arrested. Voting is only open to Nigerian citizens who are above the statutory age of 18. It’s an illegality and let me seize this opportunity to warn those who may wish to sponsor underage persons to vote on election day that they will be arrested.

“And the good thing is that in the numerous elections that the commission has undertaken, we have never had a report of incidents of underage voting and we conducted elections into 195 constituencies off-season between the first election we conducted in Kogi State in June 2015, and the last one we conducted in Osun in September last year.”

President Muhammadu Buhari says there is a huge amount of foreign currency flooding the country intended to influence the outcome of the general election beginning on Saturday.

According to Garba Shehu, the president’s senior special assistant on media and publicity, Buhari raised the alarm during the federal executive council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday.

Shehu said the president accused some politicians of flouting money laundering regulations in their desperate bid to capture political power.

He, however, commended the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for successfully tracking the money in “millions of United States dollars”.

According to him, the EFCC success followed the presidential directive to investigative agencies to probe a number of high profile cases.

He reassured the nation of his administration’s determination to wage relentless war against money laundering and terrorist financing.

Buhari also reiterated his appeal to Nigerians, especially politicians, to place the interest of the “country above all others, as they troop out to cast their votes in the coming elections’’.

Shehu’s statement comes hours after the EFCC alerted Nigerians that there were fake dollar notes in circulation.

Two days ago, there was a story about a plane that crashed on the tarmac as a result of cash over load,in the video clip of the incident online,one can hear conversations in hausa with Apc been mentioned severally,there was also a story last week about Apc supporters fight at Abuja airport resulting to bags spilling their cash contents,I wonder why the efcc hasn't said anything concerning both cases,but I'm sure if any of those cases had pdp connections,the efcc would have dishing out all manners of claims by now,yet buhari the hypocrite will be forming useless saint.spits!.

The National Coordinator, Presidential Support Committee, Senator Godswill Akpabio has insisted that considering the achievements of the President Muhammadu Buhari -led administration in office, Nigeria has no other better alternative than to give him another term.

Akpabio, who spoke with Journalists in Abuja, urged the South South people to reconsider their stand in planning to vote for the party that wants to sell the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC), and its other assets.

Atiku Abubakar, the PDP Presidential Candidate, has vowed to sell the NNPC, if voted into power, to break what he called ‘mafia’ in the corporation.

But Senator Akpabio said it will not be in the interest of the Niger Delta people for NNPC to be sold.

“Yes I believe Nigerians can compare the difference between apple and orange. The reality is that this president has done very well considering the fact that he was able to take Nigeria out of recession.

“He met ongoing projects on ground, such as the airports and the railways. He completed and put them to use. Nigerians are clamoring for change, better health care, better educational facilities and all those things cannot happen when you spend almost 80 percent of resources on recurring expenses like pension, salary arrears.

“So we must commend the President and of course, if you take a look at what is happening on the Lagos-Ibadan railway, you will be very impressed. Take a look at the Abuja-Kano railway, some people now travel with rail to the North.

“The power sector has improved from 2,500MW to 7000MW. So many things are visible and the enabling environment is there in terms of law and order. The fight against corruption has really been intensified and the good thing is that it has now become a deterrent to any public official that yes…, if you go out of your way to move your pocket forward instead of your country or state, you will be held accountable.

“We in the Niger Delta are very apprehensive. I don’t think that there is any person in the South South who will go and vote for PDP. Even some of them are trying to purchase votes because when you look at the major policy document of the PDP today, they are talking about selling the NNPC.

“What does the NNPC have? Is it the building? What NNPC controls is the oil of the Niger Delta, oil wells, oil fields and all those things come together with the land. I don’t see anybody from the South South or any Niger Deltan, who will agree that the same way we sold out Nigeria Airways and we became a laughing stock in the comity of states in Africa is the same way NNPC should be sold.

“Look at Kenya Airways, Ethopia Airline, Ghana Airline, South African Airways and Nigeria has no single plane now called its own. We sold out our Aluminium Smelter Company in Ikot Abasi, that provided thousands of jobs and today that place is totally bare with over 690MW of electricity.

“We sold out Oku Iboku Paper Mill in Akwa Ibom and our people are there jobless. That massive structure is a waste.

All those things combined are things that frighten us when somebody talks about the sale of NNPC. The sale of NNPC on its own simply means that the Niger Deltans are going to be divested of not just their properties, not just the water that they fish in, but the fact that they will become tenants in their lands for the next 50 to 100 years. And people will come from outside, maybe friends of the government, and possess their land.

“The election also is between integrity and others. The President has shown that he can give what belongs to Niger Delta to Niger Delta. He is even refunding monies that were used during my tenure to repair Federal roads and what we use to call Paris Club refund.

“We tried everything under the PDP. We never had that money and I was a Governor and the FG was owing my state over 145 Billion on federal roads and the building of prisons and other things I had to intervene. I dualized federal roads, built airport and today, federal government is refunding those monies to the state.

“If you see a government that has shown sincerity, it simply means that we are now talking about a question of integrity and a question of postulation. We are postulating that if you bring in a government that will sell your father’s land, that will sell your oil wells and sell the waters that you use in fishing, then I can conclude that there is no alternative to President Buhari.”

people like Akpabio who are against NNPC been sold to private investors are the real criminals who have been feeding fat on the monumental corruption in NNPC,now they are only trying to use the electorate to protect their illicit interests,we are often quick to make reference with the west but we don't want to emulate the west in economic policies n practice yet we desire to develop like them, Western economies are powered by the private sector while the government creates laws, policies n the environment for business to thrive,where is NITEL today compared to the GSM companies?,dangote petrochemicals will soon come on stream only God knows what will be the fate of NNPC there after, I'm 100% in support of Atiku's intent,the people of the Niger Delta stands to benefit more if NNPC is privatised n oil business booms in their region,but they can choose to be blinded by sentiments n propaganda n support the maintenance of the status quo, surely after the elections they shall continue to lament.
