ABUJA—THE Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said it will formally present copies of Voters’ Register to be used in the 2015 general elections to political parties today.
This came just as the commission mandated Resident Electoral Commissioners, RECs, to set up effective monitoring strategies in the distribution of Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs.
INEC, which in its daily bulletin, said the ceremony would take place at its headquarters, in Abuja, noted that the development “is a crucial milestone on the journey to the 2015 General Elections.”
Section 20 of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended), provides that the Register of Voters for an election shall be published at least thirty (30) days before the elections.
The 2015 general elections will take place on February 14 and 28, 2015 respectively.
The Timetable And Schedule of Activities for the 2015 general elections, released to the public on January 24, 2014, showed under item 10 that the commission ”shall release or publish the official Register of Voters for the election on January 13, 2015.”
The release also showed that the commission ”shall publish the list of nominated candidates contesting for the Presidency and National Assembly on January 13, 2015.”
The list of those contesting for the offices of governor and House of Assembly will be published on January 27, 2015.
In a related development, the commission has ordered the decentralisation of on-going distribution of Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, to the ward level, to enhance access by persons yet to collect their cards.

If we read the principal's recommendation very thoroughly, he stated that Buhari 'will 'pass the WASCE exam and not that he passed.

I guess he never went back to finish up because of the allure of the army. A grievous mistake I would say. So my guess is that if the law would take its full course, Buhari will lose all military honours he has attained all his life.. God dey sha...

You are not blind, are you?

The federal govt in 5 years across 36 states and FCT has provided barely 50,000 housing units,,, Continuuuuu. Oniro Oshi;

Your opinion, anyways... though I disagree. Our peculiar experience here has shown that military regimes in Nigeria have been worse than the civilian administrations they replaced, partly because of the complete absence of accountability and partly because those guys typically know next to nothing about governance.

Even in very flawed civilian governments, the elite usually throw some crumbs down to the masses to keep them quiet. Most military regimes have less of an incentive to do that... primarily because they got into power by the barrel of a gun and can KEEP power that way.

Anyway we can always agree to disagree.

No problem bro.,To say the Buhari government was worse than the Shagari govt is contentious, but i still feel in a one party state, people have no alternative choice,and the leader has no motive to be accountable to the people, there is a lot to suggest that the third republic was on a one party state mission , as it was already decimating the opposition, Balarabe Musa, Kaduna governor in the north of a different party from NPN was impeached, 2of the 4 UPN governors in the west were rigged out in the 1983 elections that led to widescale violence in the west. The Military struck 3months after the elections .

HNosegbe:
How is it worse? Explain.

One is pure pretence of what it is not, and very expensive to run.

Waste of money to conduct elections, Waste of money to run rubber stamped legislatures,.......

Mugabe, the hero of 1980 has currently removed his VP on trumped up charges, and even planning to hand over to his wife,,,,,,, should a military coup occur in that country, i will be happy for them, because they will have an opportunity to chart a new course.

HNosegbe:
I understand your point. However try to ask yourself if the scenarios you just highlighted would have turned out worse than being ruled by the likes of IBB and Sani Abacha.

No guarantees bro. I have a great fear and distaste for a one party state veiled with democracy, in my opinion, it is worse than military rule

duni04:
It takes patience to whip up the perfect democracy. When you ensure that the masses are the ultimate deciders of their fate and destiny, democratic institutions are reenforced over and over again. That's the secret behind the success of western style democracy. They didn't always have it rosy but the electorate remained the ultimate decider. Buhari stole that from us with with his coup in '83. He set us several steps backwards. He should apologise.

In a one party state, the electorates are simply sheep, whipped in to a single file by a shepherd.

What tells you , we wont be a one party state by now, Abacha also tried to achieve the one party state, when all the 5 parties in 1998 simply endorsed him as the messiah for planned oct.98 civilian rule, until divine providence change the course of Nigeria. My point is that, there was no guarantee that the country would have been better off with sustained democracy.

HNosegbe:
Stop trying to be clever by half by comparing Nigeria with Zimbabwe and Burkina Faso. Why not mention Senegal? Namibia? Botswana? Haven't they progressed as democracies too?

You justify the removal of Shagari due to corruption. Does that also apply to the state governors? How many state governors were corrupt? Jakande? Mbakwe? Ajasin? Onabanjo? Aku? Okilo? How many of these governors were corrupt? Why were they also kicked out?

Dont miscontrue me, what i meant is there is no guarantee that sustained democracy would have helped the Nigerian state.

I took a cursory study of african states, there are 53+ of them, and i discovered that most of the head of the democracies of those period became dictatorial as time progresses and with crude might tried to convert the country to One party state, using the other arms of government like the legislature and judiciary. The 1983 elections was worse off and a greater disaster than the 1979 elections, and UPN Ajasin was rigged off in 1983 for NPN Omoboriowo, Bola Ige of UPN was rigged off for NPN Olunloyo, ....., NPN was drowning UPN , and that Shagari government with majority in the house would most likely have manipulated the constitution to remove term limits before the 1987 elections, that was the trend of that era. Even OBJ tried to achieve term elongation.

I am sorry to mentioned only two cases in Africa, there are close to 20 something cases in Africa.

HNosegbe:
I need examples for the part in bold.

Zimbabwe, Burkina faso, e.t.c

“But for you, I would not have been here today. It was your own son that brought me as his deputy. Anything that you want from me, we will do it without you asking for it.” he said.

What's the meaning of this

hardbody:
Even if they are 1billion it only counts as one state out of the rest. So no shaking. If i were to be interested in politricks, their number wont disturb me. I will concentrate on states that are neutral. Simple strategy.

Ah ! Ah! so, you think president is declared winner by the highest number of states won?

Far from it bro, it is by the highest number of votes cast

wise7:
that gombe man sha,e don dey act lyk mr gov...i will be glad to av dat niger dude as an in-law,handsome dude

The "gombe man" is the incumbent governor

Jigawa has the highest PVC collection rate in Nigeria,at over 92%.

That was an era of coup plotting to correct failing democracy, a few years before Buhari took over in Nigeria, Jerry Rawlings plotted a coup in Ghana, killing a lot of corrupt Ghanian leaders. There was no guarantee Nigerians democracy would have been better than it is currently, infact there are several african countries that have sustained democracy for so long, and are near failed state.

in 2011, when sokoto had a PDP governor, it did not win presidential elections, now with an APC governor, the defeat will be resounding.

This should be under jokes and not under religion.

thewarrior72:
Where were you when Obasanjo plundered the resources of this nation, with nothing to show for in 8 years?

He plundered the nations resources, and after part debt relief of the nation, OBJ paid of all the remaining foreign debt. He increased exponentially the nations foreign reserve. When Obj came in 1999, a barrel of oil was at less than 12dollar/barrel.

As much as OBJ failed, GEJ is a mega failure.

She is cursing the SW, because she knows her " pot of soup" is about to be taken away from her.


There is a likelihood that from collation of the votes from other 5 regions, exempting SW, GEJ might have lost.

The moment Osinbajo was picked as VP candidate, i knew the windscreen of pdp's propaganda vehicle has been shattered. They were expecting familiar foes like Amaechi, Tinubu or Fasola, that they could deploy and unleash the propaganda weaponry on, but jolted by the APC's decision. A professor of law, a top pastor in RCCG, as vp., surely,the vision of PDP's propaganda became blurred.

While PDP was expecting a big barking dog as APC's VP candidate, APC unveiled a highly poisonous small scorpion.

All these mumu things barely move any one anymore.

The resolve of Nigerians are getting stronger to vote GEJ out.

Ekiti state indigenes, why did you elect a lunatic as a governor ?

Why ? Was it myopia, delusion, poverty of the mind, poverty of the stomach or memory loss ??

Thieves and criminals.

You claimed to be subsidising kerosene price all these years, but it is sold at over 120 naira per litre, 600 hours to presidential election , you are planning to slash price to 50naira / litre. A commodity you claimed to be subsidising all along.


Your days are numbered.

Buharistic

Oliesa Metuh.

Of the 14 APC governors, 8 of the governors are set for re election on the APC ticket, the remaining 6 governors not going for re-election are

1. Fashola,
2. Aregbesola
3. Amaechi
4. Kwakwanso
5. Oshiomole
6. Wammakko Of these 6 governors, which two will decamp when APC have the momentum?

PDP is now left with lies and propaganda

I am changed man---- Fayose.


A leopard does not change its spot.

PDP victory ends in the SS / SE. Panic mode they must be.

If he could, he should please.

How come i cant give a damn ?

If he is guilty, he deserves the sentence. The drugs also ruin lives, that many years of rehabilitation barely correct

May be she felt, she has been caught by her husband, but he is keeping shockingly quiet about it. The continuous good and ignoring treatment ran her conscience to the ground, suicide was the next available thing
