President Muhammadu Buhari says only those with integrity and interest of Nigeria will be considered in the next cabinet.

He also promised to appoint more women and youth during his second tenure, acknowledging the “significant role” they played toward his re-election.

He said his administration would not disappoint them.

Buhari spoke at a dinner the All Progressives Congress (APC) women and youth organised to celebrate his re-election, on Saturday.

He said more fertilizers were being made available to Nigerian farmers at a lower rate, adding that this has resulted in an increase in agricultural production and reduction in food importation.

Buhari also called on Nigerian youth to embrace agriculture to ensure more food sufficiency and food export.

He again faulted the 16-year rule of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which he said, “wasted the nation’s resources”.

According to him, the country witnessed “rampant infrastructure decay” in spite of the huge resources earned during the period.

Please can someone ask buhari to define the word 'integrity'?.

Kenya's Supreme Court has annulled the result of last month's presidential election, citing irregularities, and ordered a new one within 60 days.

The election commission had declared incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta the winner by a margin of 1.4 million votes.

Raila Odinga, Mr Kenyatta's opponent, said the commission was "rotten" and demanded resignations and prosecutions.

President Kenyatta said he would respect the court's decision but also branded the judges "crooks".

Other elections in Africa have been annulled or cancelled but this appears to be the first time on the continent that an opposition court challenge against a presidential poll result has been successful.

What next for Kenya after void election?
The brave judge who made Kenyan history
Friday's events as they happened
Chief Justice David Maraga said the 8 August election had not been "conducted in accordance with the constitution" and declared it "invalid, null and void".

He said the verdict was backed by four of the six Supreme Court judges.

The announcement drew cheers from opposition supporters both inside and outside the courtroom.

The court ruling did not attribute any blame to President Kenyatta's party or campaign.

What did the judges say was wrong?

Justice Maraga said the election commission had failed "to conduct the presidential election in a manner consistent with the dictates of the constitution".

He said the commission had committed irregularities "in the transmission of results", adding that the court would provide details in a full judgment within 21 days.

Dissenting judges said that the Nasa opposition alliance - which had petitioned the Supreme Court - failed to prove claims that the polls had been rigged.

The election sparked days of sporadic protests, in which at least 28 people were killed. The vote had raised fears of major political violence - as was the case after a disputed poll in 2007.

How have the two political sides reacted?

Mr Odinga, 72, said the ruling marked "a historic day for the people of Kenya and by extension for the people of the continent of Africa".

He said: "It is now clear that the entire [electoral commission] is rotten.

"It is clear that the real election results were never shared with Kenyans. Someone must take responsibility."

Mr Odinga added: "We won the elections and we are going to win them again."

President Kenyatta, in a televised address, said that it was "important to respect the rule of law even if you disagree with the Supreme Court ruling".

He called for calm, saying: "Your neighbour will still be your neighbour, regardless of what has happened... My primary message today to every single Kenyan is peace. Let us be people of peace."

Image caption Uhuru Kenyatta, in power since 2013, won a second term at last month's poll, which has now been declared invalid
Mr Kenyatta, 55, added: "We are ready to go back again to the people with the same agenda that we delivered to the people."

The president was more combative later at a rally of supporters in a market in Nairobi.

He referred to Justice Maraga and his fellow judges as wakora ( crooks in Swahili ), saying they had "decided to cancel the election". He warned the chief justice that as the poll had been annulled he was now the president again, not president-elect.

"Do you understand me? Maraga should know that he is now dealing with the serving president," Mr Kenyatta said.

"We are keeping a close eye on them. But let us deal with the election first. We are not afraid."

And the electoral commission?

Chairman Wafula Chebukati noted the ruling and said there would be "changes to personnel" ahead of the new election.

He invited the director of public prosecutions "to prosecute any of our staff that may have been involved in violations".

But he ruled out resigning, saying he had not been accused of wrongdoing.

What have the international monitors said?

After the election, international monitors from the EU, the African Union and the US had said there was no major fraud on polling day and urged Mr Odinga to concede.

On Friday, Marietje Schaake, the head of the EU Observer Mission, said the court ruling represented "a historic day for Kenya and we have always said that people who feel aggrieved should seek the path of the courts".

She said the monitors had at the time pointed to irregularities and encouraged the Kenyan authorities to deal with them.

Ms Schaake said the monitors were awaiting the full details of the ruling.

Raila Odinga will feel vindicated against accusations that he was just being a bad loser in challenging President Kenyatta's win.

However, this historic decision is a massive indictment of the electoral commission. It is therefore no surprise that the opposition Nasa coalition is now calling for a new team to manage the next elections.

This is also a setback for the international, and some local, election observers, who profusely praised the election as free, fair and credible.

People will be watching for the reaction of former US Secretary of State John Kerry, who was the head of the mission for US NGO, the Carter Centre, whose positive assessment of the election was used in court.

Regardless of the winners and losers following the ruling, this is a proud moment for Kenya. The litigation and debate on the merits of the election was done at the Supreme Court and not on the streets.

Chief Justice Maraga said it best in his opening statement: "The greatness of a nation lies in its fidelity to the constitution and the strict adherence to the rule of law."

Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Lagos State in this interview spoke on the March 9 gubernatorial election in Lagos, and his plans for the state, if elected. TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI brings an excerpt:

The governorship election is just a week from now. Why do you want to govern Lagos?

I believe at this point in time, Lagos, the fifth largest economy in Africa, needs to set new standard on how the state is managed and get new direction. It needs to do a lot of things quicker, faster and better. It needs to have a path through which we can begin to deal with the challenges that come with Mega City states. It needs to re-brand and to position itself for the opportunity that abound. We need to re-calibrate the state’s economy and make it competitive for local and international competitiveness.

Lagos needs to expand its economic base to create more private sector jobs. We have infrastructural deficits across sectors that we need private capital to fund. All these I am prepared to deal with and can do better than anyone contesting against me.

My wanting to be governor also has a whole lot to do with poorest of the poor in the society. A lot must also be done with all the challenges that we see every day – in traffic, transportation, health, education, etc. But, beyond all that, I have a whole lot of passion for people. I have been a people’s person. I am someone who usually wants to give my time to ensure that the next person is better than whoever or whatever he is.

Also, given my several years of experience, I believe this is the right time if I want to do it all. I need to do it right now and get it done. On a lighter note, we have the Not Too Young To Run guys who are ready to displace us. So, I need to do it now before they say I am too old. (laughing)

The Not You Young to run, but you think you fall into that bracket…?

No, I don’t fall within that bracket. There are lots of young people in their 30s and early 40s who also want to do this. They seem to be saying anyone above 40 is too old to be governor or President. There is a lot of technological revolution going on out there and the younger people are pushing the boundaries. They have talents and energy which we must convert for the good of the state and the country. As governor, I will tap into this and work with young people, especially those of them in technology, entertainment and sports.

And you think you’re the right man to do this?

I believe that I am the right man, not thinking…

Do you think that the process that threw you up as the candidate of your party in Lagos was fair?

Absolutely; this is because I earned it. I won an open primary election. Party members freely chose the flag bearer of their choice. The party in Lagos and at the highest level provided an opportunity through direct primaries for states and aspirants in various elective posts to emerge. The party in Lagos followed the guidelines as provided for by the National Working Committee of APC. It was open, free, fair and transparent primary election that brought me out as the candidate. The party members are happy that they had a say in who is their candidate.

The good thing now is we have united the party members across all the divides behind a common goal and objective, which is to win the election next week Saturday and to also win all our House of Assembly seats in Lagos.

But, traditionally, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode should have been given the first right of refusal. But, he was not…

Yes, as a sitting governor, he has the right to seek re-election just like any party member cannot be banned from aspiring to same office. The governor exercised his right. What usually happens is that people say candidates are handpicked. But, in this case, the party decided to throw the contest open. The party said that every card carrying member must have a say. So, we went through a direct primary. It has not been done since 1992. So, over a million people voted and I got the highest number of votes.

So, can you say your emergence was fair?

Very well.Yes, it was fair.

In that sense, are you saying that you will be a man of your own?

At 53? Certainly, I am, and I will be my own man as governor. I appreciate all the support and endorsements of the party structure. I also think that happened because they know me, they know what I have done, my contribution in government, out of government and all the various things that I’ve done. That’s why they’re supporting me. This same question of if I will be my own man is a reference to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who is our leader.

It is important to say that Asiwaju has never had any negative influence on his two successors. He is always about the development of Lagos. If anything else, he pushes us to be better than what we have done in Lagos. He is my leader and a father figure. I will be lying if I say I will not take advice from him. I will seek his wise counsel and guidance, just like I will take advice from Alhaji Lateef Jakande and anyone who have had the privilege of leading the state from when Lagos was created 52 years ago. They all have rich experiences on the leadership and governance of the state. They say experience is the best teacher.

Look at this Tinubu stooge talking about fair process perhaps he thinks we all have mental issues like him.

Residents of Abonnema community in the Akuku-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State, have begun leaving the once peaceful area in droves after the killing of two soldiers on Saturday (yesterday).

According to reports, the soldiers who have been in the region since the presidential and national assembly elections, were killed by unknown gunmen who allegedly carted away their rifles.

The residents who have been filled with fear over reprisal attack by the military, were seen leaving the community this morning.

Meanwhile, some women of Abonnema community on Saturday staged a protest to condemn the killing of over 35 of their children during the presidential and National Assembly elections on February 23.

Watch the videos below.

I don't trust Amaechi/Apc in River state at all, this is likely their handiwork just to create an excuse to use the military to rig the gubernatorial elections in River state simple.

Samuel Adesanya

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Now is it the Akwa ibom state government that originated this case or who?,if the case is based on a petition by whatever party how come we are not seen EFCC actions against fashion, oshiomole, Amaechi etc?,the biased n hypocritical attitude of buhari as a person n his Apc led government is the reason why personally I can never support buhari at all because he will never change,to those who feel buhari is the perfect demigod they can continue to support him,we shall partake in the final outcome of his actions.

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.

You better relocate out of Nigeria. For your information, I didn't vote for this election, but I have the right to accept whoever is declared winner. So, I congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari once again. Cheers

I'm not relocating to anywhere,we shall all be witnesses to the joy or pains of the choice before us.

Donmedra:
Nobody thought Oshiohmole could win Edo 2007 governorship at the court after PDP was declared winner, it took some time before oshiomole finally won.

If Atiku presses hard enough with overwhelming evidence in the court of law, how likely will the result be in his favour?

legally bright practically impossible under buhari.

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.

Signed:
Waziri Atiku Abubakar
27th February 2019

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.

Wailing continues

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.

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.

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.

PRESS RELEASE BY APC PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL:

A CLARION CALL FOR NATIONWIDE SECURITY ALERT

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.

Is this not an invitation to anarchy?, with all the government security under the control of Apc yet they still have to result to indirectly instigating their supporters to unleashed mayhem!, from reports of killings n disruption of elections in pdp strong holds it's clear that Apc/buhari never wished for a green fair elections but has rather used government resources to brazenly rig their way to power.it is Crystal clear now that buhari hasn't got any shred of integrity he is simply a hypocrite.

AutoJoshNG:
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?
