Abuja - President Goodluck Jonathan has admitted that the All
Progressives Congress poses a threat to his re-election bid.
He admitted that it will be tougher for him to win the election
now than it was in 2011.
Despite the threat, he, however said he was not worried about
the possible outcome of the forthcoming presidential election.
President Jonathan, who was answering questions on an
African Independent Television (AIT) programme, Kaakaki on
Thursday, noted that those who defected from the PDP) gave
the APC the strength it currently enjoys.
He stated that if former PDP members were to leave the APC,
it would crumble like a pack of cards.

Is now left for us to decide if we will vote and go to our house or vote and be taken to prison.

Electoral offences are arguably the most widespread
infractions of the law in this season. However, few are ever
punished in Nigeria. The most notable are offences leading to
the election including violations of campaign expenses and the
use of government facilities for campaign.
Indeed, it is even more remarkable that because of the system
in Nigeria that a number of politicians after deliberately
infringing upon the law to get into public offices use the
privileges of the office and the public purse to sustain
themselves in office. Funds are obtained from government
office to pay lawyers for electoral cases.
Prof. Maurice Iwu as chairman of the Independent National
Electoral Commission had in 2007 vowed to use a then deputy
governor of one of the Southwest states who was caught red-
handed pulling ballot boxes as an example, however, nothing
came out of it. Indeed, in most cases, only the little ones in
society, thugs and such who get apprehended by security
agents, but in almost all cases, the cases are swept
underneath.
Nevertheless, the Electoral Laws stipulate conditions that could
make a voter go to prison from polling post on Election Day.
Among them are:
OFFENCE PUNISHMENT
1. Giving someone money to vote for or not to vote for
someone N100,000 fine or 12 months in prison or both

3. A person shall be guilty if he/she –
—Canvasses for votes on Election Day- —Shouts political
party slogans- N100,000 or six months in prison for each
offence
— Is in possession of offensive weapons or wears any
dressing
that could intimidate other voters-
—Wears clothes or symbols that could refer to a political party
in the election-
—Brings to the vicinity of the polling area vehicles that could
refer to as that of a political party in the election-
—Hangs around the polling area after voting or being refused
to vote-

A Federal High Court sitting in Benin on Tuesday granted bail
to a Peoples Democratic Party candidate for Egor
constituency, Edo State House of Assembly, Mr. Nosa Adams.
Adams was granted bail following a fundamental right
application filed by his Counsel, Kingsley Obamogie.
It would be recalled that an Egor Magistrate Court had on
November 5, 2014, remanded Adams, at the Oko Prison, over
the alleged shooting of three delegates at Aunty Maria Primary
School, venue of the party’s ward congress.
The PDP candidate was arraigned on a four count of alleged
conspiracy to commit felony and attempted murder.
The presiding magistrate, Igho Braimoh, had said since the
court had no jurisdiction to entertain the case, it also had no
jurisdiction to grant bail to the accused.
He, however, secured the party’s ticket while in prison custody.
But the presiding judge, Justice A. M. Liman, granted the
suspect bail based on an argument that he had been in
custody for almost four months.
The bail was in the sum of N2 million and two sureties, who
must be property owners in the state.
Obamogie had earlier urged the court to invoke the Doctrine of
Necessity to grant his client bail and tendered a medical report
on his state of health, adding that the continued detention of his client infringed on his fundamental rights.
But the Counsel to the state government, Oluwole Iyamu, who
opposed the bail application, said the suspect had been
remanded by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Oluwole also said the application ought to have been filed at
the State High Court, rather than a federal court.

Nigeria is full of lies imagine, Chaiiii.
Very soon I will shot my ears to any news concerning Nigeria and believe is lie. I thought its only NTA that use to lie, but it becoming clearer that even Newspapers must especially sahara reporters and co, are into it.

Well, I thank God the Catholic Church is not among this rotten body called CAN.

My brother na so I see am ooo.
Na them them.

He should have mention names of all the church heads that are benefiting from the said #7bn bribe. No wonder why OBJ refused to sign the Freedom of Information Bill, is because of people like this, who don't give conclusive information but half barked once. This kind things don't happen under military rule, they never born u to give half information to the public just like that.
But wait ooo, GEJ if u know ur guilty as alleged, u have to confess and resign b4 God strike u in His anger.

Y not face ur own problems. US like poke nosing into the issue of other country as if USA is the most peaceful country on earth or USA don't have problem at all. Please US should mind their own business. If Nigeria postpone the election further what will US do? Are they the only world power? Noisemakers, do ur own and allow others do what will benefit them.

U

Chaiiiiii

I c.
Jamb, thank God I wrote u once.
Jamb should go if that is the case, let schools conduct their entrance exam

I think the major problem Nigerian had was OBJ not GEJ. OBJ was the one that mess this country up, and he expect GEJ to do magic. We need to reconsider GEJ. I recommend him for Nigeria come March 28. Buhari should still wait till 2019.

Boko Haram gunmen attacked an island on the Niger side of
Lake Chad, with locals reporting heavy casualties among those
who fled but no official confirmation of the death toll.
A private radio station in Niger said that two people died in a
fire in the remote village on Sunday evening but one survivor
spoken to by AFP said the death toll was higher.
“A lot of people jumped into the lake to escape the attack. I
think that a lot of people drowned, in particular women and
children,” said one man, who escaped with his family in a boat.
Abubakar Gamandi, the head of the fishermen’s union in Borno
state, northeast Nigeria, said he received phone calls from
members telling him about the attack, which happened on
Sunday.
“No one knows how many people died in the attack but many
residents fell in the lake and are believed to have drowned,” he
said.
The attack began at about 7:00 pm (1800 GMT) on Sunday
the survivor and Gamandi said, both blaming the Islamist
group, which has been waging an insurgency in northeast
Nigeria since 2009.
“We had just finished evening prayers when the attackers
arrived in a speed boat. They started to fire on the village and
throw explosives at our houses,” said the man, who asked not
to be named.
Two humanitarian workers in the area confirmed the attack but
did not have more details, while a local lawmaker said that the
Niger army was not present in the area.
Gamandi said many of the people on the island came from
Baga and nearby Doron-Baga on the Nigerian side of Lake
Chad, in the far north of Borno state.
Boko Haram attacked the towns on January 3 and is feared to
have killed hundreds, if not more, in what could be the worst
massacre of the six-year conflict.
Thousands of residents fled as the rebels torched large parts of
the town. Last week, the Nigerian Army said they had
recaptured Baga and President Goodluck Jonathan visited to
meet troops.
Lake Chad is a strategic area where the borders of Cameroon,
Nigeria, Niger and Chad meet.
All four countries are involved in a regional fight-back against
the militants, which has seen the group strike out of its
northeast Nigerian stronghold to attack Chad and Niger.
