I don't really like the idea of the ex governors getting the Senate presidency just because they are ex governors,but Ahmed lawan will just be a complete stooge,let me prophesied that very soon saraki shall be praised for his courage.

The Boeing 777X UNVEILED: World's longest passenger plane at 252ft makes its debut at factory ceremony, less than a week after the Ethiopian Airlines crash that killed all 157 passengers on board.





The first fully assembled Boeing 777X, the world's longest passenger jetliner has been unveiled.


The aircraft had expected to be presented with much fanfare in a ceremonial debut at the plane manufacturer's plant in Everett, near Seattle, on Wednesday.

But as a mark of respect for those who died in the Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max 8 crash, it was instead unveiled in a low-key event that was only attended by Boeing employees.

please can someone enlighten me on how jet engines work to move an aircraft forward?, because unlike automobile engines that are connected to the tyres,the plane engines are just hanging under the wings?

What about a senator that his in the car park of the national assembly so he can connive with the opposition to achieve his own selfish and inordinate ambition?

I'm sure that's acceptable to you.

what offence did saraki committed by doing that?

Apc hated saraki because he refused to be a rubber stamp of buhari,but if Apc thinks they now control the Senate n house absolutely so anything buhari would go then they should be prepared for a shocker, politics is a dicey game, this is buhari's last term n many politicians whether Apc or not will be conscious of their fate post buhari so they would have to be really smart,omo Agege n his likes might just be celebrating too early.

Mrakeli:
The Taraba State government yesterday cried out that innocent people were being killed since the day Governor Darius Ishaku was declared winner of the governorship election in the state.

The Commissioner for Information, Simon Dogari, who briefed reporters on the incidents trailing the outcome of the election, said the attacks were being masterminded by the opposition parties who lost at the polls.

He said the attacks were intended to give the impression that the governorship election in the state was not credible.

Dogari said: “There have been several cases of attacks on innocent and defenceless people in Jalingo by miscreants hired and armed by those who lost the elections.

“Their intention is to create tension and anarchy in the state such that the impression would be created that the elections were not credible.

“The state government is happy that this motive has not been achieved. We give the credit to God and to all the good people of Taraba State who have ignored the call to arms and have in various ways helped to defuse tension rather than yield to the temptation to react violently.

“The elections were generally free, fair and peaceful. There were no major incidents, as voting took place in all the centres.
“It is also instructive that one of the major contestants in the gubernatorial election, Senator Aisha Alhassan, also rated the election as free, fair and credible, even though she lost.

“Yet, the main opposition group has embarked on a mission of organising armed youths to confront people who came out in their numbers to celebrate the PDP victory.

“The most unfortunate and dangerous dimension to this campaign was the religious colour their group tried to assign to the crisis.

“It is disheartening that a man who is aspiring to a high position of leadership of this state would resort to religious bigotry to achieve his ambition.

“Again, we thank God and the larger section of the populace for refusing to cooperate with him to cause more tension and damage to lives and properties.”

He said that Governor Darius Ishaku “deeply appreciates the contributions of all the good people of the state in achieving peace and wishes to thank everybody, including Christian and Muslim leaders, who have been part of the peace building process.”


The state government said it would ensure that all law abiding people are protected in order to go about their lawful activities without molestation.

“Governor Ishaku also wishes to remind all of you that peace is the bedrock on which every positive human endeavour can thrive, hence his peace mantra: Give me peace and I will give you development.

“We urge you to refuse to be used as political thugs, to shun violence and all forms of drug abuse and to support the government to build that future you deserve.”

Except if Darius is accepting that he is a foolish slowpoke if not he ought to know that the Muslims in Taraba with support outside the state has for long been scheming to take over the state, Darius should better get the Taraba people especially the Christian's enlighten n organized or they shall lament indefinitely,the attempted elimination of Danbaba suntai was all part of the plot,the tell tell signs has always been there the Taraba Christians can choose to docile at their own peril, places such as jalingo the HQ of muri emirati,mutum biu,ibi,bantaje,Karim lamido,gembu are places that requires close surveillance regularly.

The trial within trial of the five suspects involved in the Offa bank robbery in April 2018 continued on Friday at the State High Court sitting in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

During their arraignment before Justice Halimah Salman, the suspects told the court how their confessional statements were obtained by the police.

The first suspect, Ayoade Akinnibosun, in his testimony, told the trial judge that he gave his statement under duress and not voluntarily.

He explained that he was tortured and shot in two legs, alleging that the police asked him to implicate the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, but he refused.

Akinnibosun claimed that five men were shot dead in his presence and that of other suspects, in order to force them to do the bidding of the police.

He alleged that he was forced to sleep on the spot where the men were killed, adding that his hands and legs were tied for days.

The suspect also told the trial judge that six hefty stones were placed on his back and denied food for nearly one week while he was being tortured.

He said they were kept inside the generator room at Police Headquarters Abuja while a dismissed police officer, identified as Michael Adiukwu, was brought to identify them if they were part of the robbery gang.

According to Akinnibosun, the man denied knowing them and was shot dead on the spot.

Afterwards, he said he was shown an already written statement which he was asked to sign and agreed to do so for fear of being killed.

The suspect insisted that whatever he said during the parade of the press conference was written for him to memorise and confess to the public.

He claimed that the police warned him not to implicate them that the statement was made under duress.

Akinnibosun told the trial judge that he was given a four-page statement to sign but he could not because his fingers were not functioning due to torture.

He said one of his fingers was placed on the documents for thumb printing and his request to read and go through the statement was turned down.

After giving his testimony, the suspect was cross-examined by the prosecution counsel.

Meanwhile, the defence counsel, Mathias Emeribe, asked for further medical checkup to determine if the wounds Akinnibosun sustained were truly from gunshots.

Justice Salman, however, turned down the request until proper trial.

The second accused, Ibikunle Ogunleye, was thereafter called to the dock and he corroborated the first accused, Akinnibosun’s testimony of how he was tortured and how Michael Adiukwu was killed.

In his testimony, the third accused person Abraham Adeola also repeated the same process of how they were tortured both at the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (F-SARS) office in Ilorin and Abuja.

what happened to saraki was purely a political war wage against him by the federal government of Apc just because he refused to be their rubber stamp,now that the ever sheepish laughing Ahmed lawan is been primed to emerge as Senate president it's going to be a roller coaster for the 'saints',but eventually the truth will emerge.

Get out, which electorate?, you think Everyone is a zombie like you.

abescom:
Not a single praise for PMB from the PDP apologists who have commented so far.

Imagine if the outcome didn't favour PDP?

Truth be told PMB has given INEC a free hand to conduct a free and fair election and should be praised for it.

Buhari doesn't deserve any commendations,INEC is only appearing to be sincere as a result of pressure n threat from the international community especially the US to sanction all persons involved in the elections malfeasance,left to buhari alone anything could have gone as long as it favours him/Apc just as he gave Tinubu the carte blanche to do whatever he pleases in Lagos,if buhari had any integrity he should have called Buratai n Amaechi to order n stopped them from reducing the military to a disgraceful n laughing stock.

Thank you.high level strategic planning is why apc is superior and always ahead of pdp who are always trying to second guess,preempt or try to counter alleged apc plans

You think pdp are fools like zombies abi?,why didn't this so call high level planning got Apc victory during the first round of elections?,pdp are watching your every move n carefully fashioning out effective counter measures,Apc/Ganduje are gonners.

A man was seriously humiliated after he was caught having sex with a married woman. According to reports, the duo were caught while romping in an uncompleted building.

The man who was caught unclad with his married lover, was forced out of the uncompleted building without his clothes on - in a bid to shame him alongside his partner.

Facebook user Emmanuel who shared the report didn't give the exact state in Nigeria where the incident occurred but revealed that this happened recently.

Meanwhile, Nigerians have reacted to the trending pictures of the couple after their sexcapade was exposed. see below.

why unclad the man alone,the woman should have been unclad too after all he wasn't raping her,any man involved in this must be a bastard.

donphiilopus:
Exactly. They should declare the results as it were before the suspension. The aggrieved should go to court to retrieve their mandate if they feel the mandate is theirs. INEC has no power to cancel elections in Nigeria.

you people are saying this because you know how Amaechi used soldiers to cause havoc during the elections n you are sure that federal might will be used to pocket the tribunal,now I'm convinced wike won the elections n if he can proove with the rest declared at the polling units before they were hijacked at the collation centres by Amaechi military/thugs I don't see how any sane person would declare such results as you are agitating for, buhari is such a disgraceful hypocrite now he will be forming a fake saint n claims he was not aware if what Amaechi did with the military in River state but the whole world is watching as we all awaits INEC decision.

Shuku0kukobambi:
Just wait for me.

Let me go and exhume the bodies of Chief Adube and his family to come and show you

IT'S ok,but please remember to include the video if wike killing them as well.

Shuku0kukobambi:
Have people like you ever condemned Wike for all the killings he and his boys did before elections and the ones they continued after elections? Have you ever being to Omoku and see the ghost town Don Wanny and his boys turned it to under Wike's protection?

I didn't think so

I was following your exchange with the other fellow n I will repeat the question he ask you that attracted my attention,what n where is the proof to your claims?.

Shuku0kukobambi:
We can keep burying our head in the sand and that plays directly into the hands of those who use the people as mere pawns in their sick game of political power grab.

Chief Adube and his family were killed and their corpses burnt in one night right after he identified with Amaechi and APC in 2014 in the community of Obrikom. This was all under the presidency of our hero of democracy. Maybe the electoral amendment could have helped, we'll never know because even your jamb today is still being rigged by smart unscrupulous Nigerians.

you self na wa for you ooh,so what exactly do want done?,for like to be forcefully removed abi?, infact people like you are the actual problem n if you like don't wise up buhari will leave you in the lurch.

"Yan Chinrani" this term is generally used to refer to Fulani nomads who move from place to place in search of greener pasture for their cattle and other livestock.

It is also used to refer to all those who are living and doing business or working in the North who are not of nothern extraction.

From the above explanation, one can deduce that another terrorist group is on the rise in Northern Nigeria and their principal targets are non- indigenes whose only crime is residing in the North.

Your knowledge of hausa is poor,'yan chirani" means "those that hassles during the dry season",it is generally used in taraba to refer to visiting labourers especially from the far north who troop to Taraba during the dry/harvest season for menial jobs,I know because I was in bantaje wukari for years, it's a pity he is a victim n I wish him well.The Muslims in Taraba have been trying desperately to take over the state for long now so I'm not surprised, places like I, bantaje,mutum biu,sabongida takai,gassol are common Muslims flash point areas in taraba that one need to avoid during tensed situations.

I was lost at what to title this thread. Personally, I'm tired of relationships and all the lies and empty promises that comes with it. I've a guy I've been in an emotionally unavailable relationship with for years. It's been on and off since we don't owe each other anything. Recently, we got back together. He's everything I dislike in a guy...arrogant, talks before thinking, brags a lot, doesn't respect my decisions, but doesn't know I dislike him for these. He's handsome though with little cash, but who cares? He's full of shìt and I'm just stuck up with him. Guess it's because I'm not in any relationship.

Now here is the problem. He tells me of his escapades and his current relationship. This asshole and I had sex on Friday night and after the act, he started asking stupid questions like if he should be worried. I told him to have thought of that before diving in and he opened a drawer full of condoms. That he never goes in on a girl without protection, but didn't say why he did with me. Today makes it 4days since I had sex with him and I'm feeling pregnant. There's this discomfort I can't explain. My period started on Sunday, but the flow is abnormal.

Let me use this emoji to laugh away how I really feel right now 'cause I don't know what to do now.

I can't even understand this idea of keeping opposite sex as ordinary friends considering the challenges n unpredictable nature of such friendship, personally I don't agree with it n can never do it.

Source: http://www.trezzyhelm.com/2019/03/fulani-herdsmen-attack-agagbe-in.html?m=1

The fulani herdsmen attacks in Benue particularly tivland is without a doubt been sponsored from the core Muslim north to punish the tiv people for not given into hausa fulani dominations, even the poor performance of ortom as a governor is caused by the powers at the top that has continued to place difficult hurdles ahead of him, this is why it's a great thing that Akume is done away with politically in tivland because he is a unpatriotic sabotuer been used by the enemies to destroy his own people just for selfish political gains, it's a disgrace that Akume hail from the same place as the great Joseph sawuan Tarka,I commend ortom for his doggedness let him continue to stand firm in protecting the interest of his people,he may not control security but let him continue to speak out,the power at the top may be against him but the world is watching, shame on all those who for whatever reasons continue to cheer buhari as a man of integrity even in the face of clear bias, hypocrisy, nepotism, bigotry etc.

please be bold enough to attack buhari directly for allowing people like Amaechi to use the military to cause so much damage to the elections, this is why personally I can't support buhari because for him anything goes as long as it serves his interest but often so quick to hypocritically form saint n commando where his perceived opponents are involved, imagine buhari saying today that he wants to leave a legacy of free n fair elections!,after all the disgrace we are witnessing, sometimes it appear as if buhari or his spoke persons just use English words because they sound sweet rather than their actual meanings e.g the word INTEGRITY.

We can all see glaringly what PDP are up to, they can't do without violence or rigging, they are wailing that their rigging didn't produce the desired outcome.

please be sincere with yourself,what is the total number of registered voters in the local government for AA or whatever to just get 70,000 votes like that,mind you the results at the various polling units in the local government are already known, this is just clear rigging by okorocha and you expect pdp that knows they are about to rob in broad daylight to just keep quiet?, buhari allowed people like okorocha, Tinubu,Ganduje etc to do what ever they like because they were working for his interest but now buhari by implications has made a complete mess of the electoral process in the country,just look at what is happening in Rivers where Amaechi is using soldiers to cause mayhem shamelessly with no one to call him to order!,n people like you will be shouting of the imaginary integrity of buhari!.

Full statement
“Ó TÓ GÉ” IN KWARA!!!

May I congratulate the “Ó TÓ GÉ” movement and indeed the entire good people of Kwara State on the successful ballot revolution during the National Assembly election held on February 23rd, 2019.

I urge you to finish the job by voting massively for Alhaji Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq as the next Governor of Kwara State on Saturday March 9, 2019. Abdulrahman is a reliable man, a good friend and brother. One of the trio of Shaibu Yaman and my goodself, who laid the foundation of the change movement, exactly 20 years ago.

I endorse the platform, APC, which the “Ó TÓ GÉ” movement has chosen as the vehicle to free Kwara State in the 2019 election.

I salute the efforts of Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who is currently providing leadership to the movement and other leaders such as Senator Suleiman Makanjuola Ajadi, Senator S.S. Ajibola, Professor Oba Abdulraheem, Alhaji Kunle Suleiman, Prince Sunday Fagbemi, Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo, and others too numerous to mention here.

We should not also forget in a hurry the contributions of those who have fallen; great patriots like, H.E. Mohammed Alabi Lawal Omo ‘Morilewa Omo Laderin and General Abdulkareem Adisa rtd.

The struggle in the next few days will be fierce. I urge no complacency. With hardwork, by the Grace of God, Victory is sure.


VOTE ABDULRAHMAN ABDULRAZAQ!

Since there is faculty of education in the university, and for the fact that an NCE holder will still have to spend another three years in the university to obtain a degree in education, I think its high time the Nigerian government scrapped COE. whose with me on this?

I will rather prefer such colleges like those of educated, Agric n the likes should be given the authority to award first degrees only in their various areas of specialty,let the polytechnic also be converted to General colleges to award certificates up to first degrees only,A commission for Nigerian colleges CNC should be establish to set the standard n regulates the colleges,the universities should continue to award first degrees also n exclusively have the right to award pgd, masters n PhD.this way the pressure on the universities will be reduced n educational opportunities will be open up.

The acting Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Mohammadu Adamu has prohibited, with immediate effect, the covering of Vehicle Number Plates by all unauthorized vehicle users across the country.

Police spokesman, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Frank Mba, on Tuesday, said the IGP gave the order following intelligence report that the unwholesome practice may be deployed by some unscrupulous persons to aid the commission of electoral related offenses before, during and after the Saturday, 9th March, 2019 Gubernatorial/House of Assembly elections.

He said, apart from possible threats to the polls, the IGP also noted that the covering of Vehicle Number Plate amounts to a clear breach of the Road Traffic Act and other relevant laws of the land.

Mba further said the act could impact negatively on national security, safety and has the capacity to heighten criminal activities, engender an atmosphere of lawlessness, shield perpetrators of crime and place unnecessary pressure on security agencies in their routine crime prevention and monitoring tasks.

He said the IGP had directed all Assistant Inspector Generals of Police (AIGs) and Commissioners of Police (CPs) in the Zonal and State Commands to strictly enforce the restriction order at their various Areas of Responsibilities (AOR).

Worried by the large-scale irregularities that characterised the just concluded presidential and National Assembly elections in Niger State, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the state has warned that any community that refuses to allow the use of smart card readers during the next Saturday’s governorship and House of Assembly polls would have the results of the affected area cancelled.

INEC said the non use of the smart card readers contravenes the Electoral Act, insisting that the smart card readers were integral part of the electoral process and therefore mandatory for it to be used during the election.

Resident Electoral Commissioner in Niger State, Professor Sam Egwu, gave the warning in Minna on Tuesday after inspecting materials for next Saturday’s elections.

The INEC warning is sequel to complaints by local government returning officers for the presidential and National Assembly elections in the state, that the presiding officers were forced to drop card readers machines for manual voting in no fewer than 10 out of the 25 local government areas of the state.

According to Egwu, the commission discovered that in some parts of the state during the presidential and National Assembly elections, voters refused to use the smart card readers under the guise that the machines failed to function.

“I am aware we had challenges with the card readers in some areas; there was popular pressure to abandon the smart card readers; let me warn that failure to use the card readers the consequences will be very grave

“We will put zero for any polling unit where the card readers are not used,” Professor Egwu declared.

He also said that there was no link between the networks of the telecommunications service providers and smart card readers, insisting that card readers operate independently of telephone networks.

Professor Egwu disclosed that the commission was ready for the conduct of the governorship and House of Assembly elections, saying that it had received all the sensitive materials.

“All the sensitive materials are here in Niger State; we have scrutinised them, we have batched them local government by local government; we don’t have any shortage.”

He added that the materials would be sorted out polling unit by polling unit and despatched on Friday.

Professor Egwu said 31 political parties were fielding candidates for the governorship election in the state while 371 candidates from 27 political parties would jostle for the 27 assembly seats in the state.

The resident electoral commissioner was of the view that Saturdays election “will be more competitive, because all politics are local; elections on March 9 are local; people who did not vote the last time want to vote this time around.”

He, however, called on voters to conduct themselves in orderly manners during and after the election so that they would not run foul of the law.

https://www.akelicious.net/2019/03/inec-threatens-to-cancel-election.html

This clearly validate Atiku's claims,INEC is not just serious,the exclusive use of smart card reader for elections should have been made compulsory long ago it's within their powers but they connive with buhari to rig the elections n now they are vituperating this rubbish, ideally the smart card readers should be feeding inec servers in real time or immediately after the elections n the records accessible to all political parties but with buhari/Apc everything about INEC is a mirage.

An anonymous source has confided in Anaedoonline.com the grand plot by the Senator-Elect of Anambra South, Chief Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah to dump the Young Progressive Party (YPP) on which he won the senatorial election of Anambra South and decamp to the All Progressive Congress (APC).

According to the source, it was understood that President Buhari had personally called Ifeanyi Ubah to come into the APC and has even given him his first assignment which is to deliver the APC candidate in Lagos State, Sanwo-Olu, who is currently having a problem with the Igbo voters in Lagos.

To be able to get Igbo voters to vote the Lagos APC candidate, Ifeanyi Ubah has allegedly been conscripted to revive his Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, TAN, to use it to rally the Igbos based in Lagos.

In a press release on Monday, March 4th, 2019, by the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, which was personally signed by Ifeanyi Ubah, TAN was quoted as saying, “The Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN) hereby endorses the candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for the Lagos State Gubernatorial elections slated for Saturday, 9th of March, 2019”.


Ifeanyi Ubah, as understood, will relocate to Lagos to rally round the Igbo voters to vote massively for Sanwo-Olu as against the PDP candidate, Jimi Agbaje.

The source also confirmed that Ifeanyi Ubah will decamp to APC alongside his political son, Dr. Obinna Ngonadi, who is the YPP candidate for Anambra State House of Assembly, Nnewi North Constituency.

The Igbos, specifically Nnewi people, will wonder how Ifeanyi Ubah will sell the APC narrative to them, knowing full well the disdain and hatred the people have for Buhari and APC.

Governor Obiano has of late, been suffering hatred among some Anambrarians just because he supported Buhari and APC against Peter Obi

That would not be suprising n one wouldn't blame him either, it's time the cross carpeting phenomenon is done away with in our politics,any elected person that wishes to change party for whatever reason should forfeit the elected position automatically the nonsense of party crisis or division should not apply, that's if we are really serious about political advancement.

Godjone:
Okon Bassey in Uyo


President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday alleged that the votes of the people of Akwa Ibom State were stolen during the recent presidential and National Assembly elections, vowing that they would be reclaimed through proper channebookSpeaking yesterday through the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, at a town hall meeting held by the elders and stakeholders of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Uyo, the state capital, the president called on the electorate in the state to defend their votes during Saturday’s governorship and State Assembly elections in the state.


Buhari said it was doubtful that the former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio lost the election, alleging that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) robbed Akpabio and the APC of victory at the polls.


He maintained that all the wrongs done during the presidential and National Assembly elections would be addressed through proper channel.
“What happened on February 23 was robbery. The votes of the people were stolen but we are not deterred. The president sent me to thank you today. We are going to make sure that everything that was stolen on the February 23 would be restored.


“It is not possible that Senator Godswill Akpabio lost. We are in no doubt that Senator Akpabio is the elected senator of Akwa Ibom North West senatorial district. I and Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the party have been in the opposition for long and we cannot be defeated anymore. “Everyone of you should go out to vote on Saturday and defend your votes; we cannot be cheated; not only you but tell your neighbours to vote for Obong Nsima Ekere and all APC candidates. Wait for your votes to be counted. It is the duty of the federal government to provide security and we will do that. We will recover every one of our votes.


Also speaking, Oshiomhole said the party was not in the state to lament but to thank the people of the state for doing their jobs and voting President Buhari.


He alleged that INEC colluded with some of the electoral officers to deny the state of its electoral victory on February 23, even though he claimed that the people voted for the party.

“We have not come here to brag that our mandate was stolen last week. We have come to thank you that you voted for President Buhari, and all members of the party. You did your job but some armed robbers in INEC stole your votes. “You think that those who stole your votes will have peace? We have come to reaffirm our commitment with democracy. We have come to affirm that no robber will go unpunished but when an electoral umpire is corrupt and collude with the opposition, we have the witnesses and we have lawyers to deal with that.
“On Saturday we are not going to wait for them to steal out votes. We call on Akwa Ibom people to protect their votes. We must maintain our sanity even in this hour of provocation. Those who committed democratic abortion would be brought to book,” he said. In his speech, the APC governorship candidate in the state, Nsima Ekere encouraged the people not to be deterred by the February 23 elections but to go out and vote during the March 9 elections, saying the party is sure of victory.
He said the people of the state were in need of change and proved it during his campaigns across the 31 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state.
Ekere assured the president that after March 9 elections, the state would not be in the opposition but would be reunited with the centre
“Thank you for what you are doing for APC. The people voted for you; that vote is a revalidation of what the people want. You put Nigeria’s economy back on track.


“We are here because we have faith in you and Mr. President. The opposition and INEC have no choice than to give us back our mandate. Whosoever shall attempt to work against the collective will of Akwa Ibom people, we shall collectively resist.
“We send a message to the electoral umpire and the other party that they must respect the votes of the people, every vote must count. Akwa Ibom people love APC”.

Okwyla:
The Forum of Presidential Candidates and Political Parties for Good Governance, has appealed to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, not to challenge the outcome of the recent presidential election in court.

The forum made up of chairmen and candidates of 36 political parties, who contested the election with the winner, President Muhammadu Buhari, specifically urged Atiku to disregard the advice of those asking him to challenge the outcome of the poll in court.

In a statement read on behalf of his colleagues at a press conference in Abuja yesterday, the chairman of the forum, Mr. Shittu Kabir, said the group had started a robust discussion with Buhari and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) with a view to being magnanimous in victory by setting up a government of national unity.


Kabir said, “We have advised the government to be magnanimous in victory. I believe that will be done. We have urged them that irrespective of political party or religion or tribe, the government should pick the best brains across the land and those who can contribute to the development of the country across the nation.”

He noted that Atiku, who has already set up a formidable team of legal experts for the judicial battle ahead, has the right to approach the court but added that he should forget the litigation option in the interest of peace.

He said, “We strongly urge Alhaji Abubakar to drop the legal option in expressing his grievances. This is consistent with the counsel of many well-meaning Nigerians including Chief Olisa Agbakoba.

“We also believe that the former vice president has made a mark among Nigerians of means who have positively impacted their communities. We think he has a lot more to contribute to developing humanity and promoting peace and progress in our nation, even without holding any political office.

“At his age, he should now avoid any action and utterances capable of fanning the embers of discord, disagreement and violent conduct. Nigeria is greater than any personal or class interest.

“Atiku has his right and nobody can infringe on his right. That is why we have not said he cannot go to court but we are saying he should not go to court.

“Instead of wasting that time and maybe draw our developmental stride backwards, let us give our nation time for development and let the government be focused on providing good governance.

“We need to get the country out of the wood and address national issues instead of diverting the attention of the government by going to
court.”

It also said part of their task would be to convince the President to sign the Electoral Bill into law with a view to preventing the irregularities, rigging and violence that usually characterised elections in the country.

He said, “If that bill as approved by the National Assembly had been assented by the president, all the litigations and crimes that we are having would been taken care of.”

Anything concerning buhari is always full of bias double standard n what have you, buhari has never in his entire life accepted electoral defeat n congratulated anybody but now they want Atiku to just give up, lots of buhari/Apc supporters has jeered Atiku n claims he is on a fools journey going to court so why should anybody bother about Atiku's desire to challenge the elections result in court,Atiku/pdp has commendably said they will follow the peaceful n legal process to fight their case presenting facts n figures if buhari/Apc are sure of a fair victory then Atiku going to court should not cause any concern at all but because buhari/Apc knew what they did they are hidding behind all sort of bodies to exert pressure on Atiku n at the same time shamelessly using state apparatus to intimidate n coarse Atiku,let the so call integrity of buhari be put to test,Atiku should go ahead n challenge the elections result in court with the evidence before him.
