The crux of the matter still remains the fact that base on the Electoral Act, only the Presiding Officer has the power to cancel an election which should be at the Polling Unit level. But the Returning Officer illegally cancelled elections in some polling units which gave rise to the supplementary election full of intimidation. This is what PDP expects the Supreme Court to decide upon today. Anyway, let"s wait how the Court decides. 44 Likes 4 Shares |
Politics / Re: Miyetti Allah Calls For Establishment Of fulani Vigilantes In S-east by escodotman: 4:55pm On Jun 20, 2019 |
Looks like the agenda is real and the plans are well in motion. "Vigilante" in the Southeast, then Southsouth and Southwest may later follow. Why is it so difficult for these people to let go of their 20th century method of cattle rearing by roaming around the country and embrace the civilized way of ranching? |
Politics / Miyetti Allah Calls For Establishment Of fulani Vigilantes In S-east by escodotman: 4:52pm On Jun 20, 2019 |
…we’re not against cattle rearing, but—S- East Govs …police bemoan lack of personnel ENUGU- THE Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, has called for establishment of Fulani Youth Vigilante body in communities of the south east, to compliment its host community counterparts and other constituted security apparatus in the zone. The cattle breeders made the request just as the South east Governors told them that nobody in the zone was against rearing of cattle but that it was paramount for everyone to understand that there are rules of engagement in every relationship, including that of herders and farmers. In the same vein, the Nigeria Police Service Commission, PSC, lampooned the yearly recruitment of 10,000 policemen, saying that it was a far cry from meeting the demand of police personnel that are in very shortage in the country. The security stakeholders made their remarks, Thursday, during the South east Security summit organized by South East Chambers of Commerce, Mines and Agriculture, SECCIMA, in collaboration with South East Governors Forum, SEGF, in Enugu. Speaking as it affects herdsmen, the National President of MACBAN, Alhaji Mohammadu Kirowa regretted that once insecurity was mentioned in Nigeria, the first idea that comes into minds was Fulani herdsmen. Represented by the National Secretary, Alhaji Baba Usman Ngelzerma, MACBAN noted that south east was a good host which was reason why it condemns all forms of violence and criminalities with its patrons such as the Sultan of Sokoto, the Emir of Kano and the Lamido of Adamawa. The group however said it wants an establishment of Fulani Youth Vigilante group, noting that “the Fulani Youth Vigilant body will be working with the security, the neighborhood watch or vigilante to ensure security in all communities, as it was done in Enugu state. “We will solicit for your support and cooperation in adopting dialogue where problems exist as a means of brokering peace and to report cases against our members to either the Fulani Youth Vigilante Group, state or local branch of the association,” Kirowa said. Chairman of the South East Governors Forum and Governor of Ebonyi state, Engr. Dave Umahi who was represented by his Deputy, Dr. Kelechi Igwe stated that the region cannot engage in policy of exclusion to limit any farmer or herder, but that rules of engagement should be observed in every relationship. Igwe said “We will continue to accommodate the Miyetti Allah but our plea to them is that as we are magnanimous to allow settlers, every community has a custom that need not to be violated. It is the violation that breeds problem. “I believe that at the end, resolutions will generate further national dialogue, promote agenda setting and a solution to the lingering national insecurity. All we need is the good idea of one or two men to find direction and I believe this summit will do that.” On its part, the Commissioner in charge of Human Rights in the Police Service Commission, Mr. Rommy Mom lamented the inadequacy of the Nigeria Police personnel, noting that today Nigeria boasts of under 350, 000 police officers. “This translates to 1.6 police officers to every 100,000 Nigerian, which is a far cry from the world standard of 225 police officers to every 100,000 people. In some local governments, you have less than 10 police officers. “Lack of data is a major challenge to the extent that even the Inspector general of Police is not very sure of the exact number of police officers under his command. Electronic data is very important,” Mon said. He also stated that it was high time Nigeria embraced the use of Information Communication Technology, ICT, and other equipment for policing the country. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/06/miyetti-allah-calls-for-establishment-of-fulani-vigilantes-in-s-east/ Lalasticlala |

Politics / Re: Akpabio Was Not Suspended From PDP, He Defected – PDP Claims by escodotman: 9:51am On May 18, 2019 |
Truly, where is Akpabio's honour? What did he want to gain by fraudulently obtaining a fake expulsion letter? The "uncommon defector" made a lot of noise like he just won the Wimbledon Grandslam when he defected but claiming now that he was expelled. Wonders shall never end. 1 Like |
Politics / Akpabio Was Not Suspended From PDP, He Defected – PDP Claims by escodotman: 9:47am On May 18, 2019 |
The Akwa Ibom State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has refuted claims by Senator Godswill Akpabio that he was suspended from the PDP. Akpabio, a senator representing Akwa Ibom Northwest in the 8th National Assembly had told a Federal High Court on Friday, May 17, 2019 that he moved to the All Progressives Congress (APC) after being suspended from the PDP. This was sequel to a suit filed by an advocacy group, Legal Aides Assistant Project (LEDAP) which sought to remove Senator Akpabio and 53 other members of the National Assembly who defected from one political party to another in 2018. Delivering judgement on the case, Justice Okon Abang tilted to the position of the former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio. Justice Okon Abang said, “Having provided evidence that he (Akpabio) was suspended from the party (PDP), the defendant (Akpabio) was free to move to another political party.” Apparently irked by the ruling, the PDP in Akwa Ibom State has accused Akpabio of fraudulently obtaining the expulsion letter. PDP alleged an ex-member of the party, Ntiedo Usoro who served as Essien Udim Local Government chapter Chairman issued a fake expulsion letter to Akpabio in which the latter tendered before the court. In a statement released by Comrade Ini Ememobong, AKS State Publicity Secretary, on Friday, the party claimed there is no way Akpabio would have been expelled at the local government level without concurrent expulsion at the national level. The party’s statement reads thus: The Akwa Ibom State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party has read a news item flowing from the judgement of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, presided over by Justice Abang wherein the trial judge held that Senator Akpabio led evidence to show that he was expelled from the People’s Democratic Party and therefore was justified in law in ‘moving’ to the APC. We state that nothing can be farther from the truth than the transparent lie of expulsion shamelessly spewed by Chief Akpabio. We make bold to state that at no time was Chief Akpabio suspended or expelled from the party. Chief Akpabio had announced to the world on August 8,2018 that he was defecting from the PDP to the APC in pursuit of National interest and to stem the tide of defections at the National Assembly. In fact, at different campaigns, he mocked the PDP as being empty since his uncommon defection . At no time did he mention the issue of expulsion, which has now become his creation as a lame defence to keep his seat. He conspired with Ntiedo Usoro, the then Chapter Chairman of Essien Udim to illegally write a letter of expulsion to him and back date same. The said Ntiedo having completed his assignment, later defected and joined Chief Akpabio in the APC. This ignoble comedy which has been taken beyond sane limits is most condemnable and dishonorable. It is indicative of the total exit of honour from a man whom many erroneously held in high esteem. There is no way that Senator Akpabio could have been expelled by the party, without the concurrence of the State Executive Committee of the party. There is no record showing the existence of such a punitive move undertaken against the senator by his ward or chapter executive council. Expulsion is a process and not an event. We know that the disgraced senator is running from his shadows and questioning karma, as his conscience is putting him to remembrance of how he masterminded the suspension and eventual expulsion of his predecessor, Obong Victor Attah from the Party(though the act was reversed by the National Exco of the party). His successor, Governor Udom Emmanuel and the incumbent party leadership under Obong Paul Ekpo have decidedly made themselves unavailable for karma to use against him. Nigerians are not fools and cannot be deceived by double speak and greed propelled dishonesty, but they may be amused by face saving but disdainful comedy, scripted and acted by an uncommon National Comedian. Senator Akpabio should count today as his lucky day, because if our great party had been joined in that suit, his fake bravado would have evaporated, exposing his real and inherent cowardly character and paranoia-influenced mindset. We warn Senator Akpabio to desist forthwith from including the PDP in his serial lies. He is history to us, for all we care and soon, will be history to his Senatorial District- people who have sent the disgraced senator on compulsory political retirement. A brave man should prepare to face the natural consequences of his actions and not to engage in perennial doublespeak, disgraceful pendulum motion and irreverent redefinition of established terms. https://firstreportsonline.com/akpabio-was-not-suspended-from-pdp-he-defected-pdp-claims/ Lalasticlala.

It is hard not to believe that some forces in the APC are using INEC to get back at Okorocha, to cause crisis over this election. Why INEC decided not to issue any candidate a certificate of return and never made any announcement on any next line of action or plans to re-scheldue the election until Okorocha himself took the matter to court is beyond human comprehension. You witheld certificate of return and then kept quite, was INEC trying to deny the people of the senatorial district representation in the senate? 9 Likes |

Tosquo:In case you don't know how the Supreme Court of Nigeria sits on any matter before it, let me educate you. The Supreme Court usually comprises of 5 Judges who deliver judgment on any matter brought before them and no single one of them decides any matter single-handedly, not even the CJN. The Judge PDP is requesting her stepping aside is the President of the Court of Appeal and wife of an APC senator-elect. In case you don't know her functions; she selects judges to sit on any matter brought before the Court of Appeal! In the case of the Presidential Election Petition, according to PDP, she has appointed herself as the chairman of the Appeal Court panel of the judges to hear the case should it get to Appeal Court. |

I fully support the PDP over this step. Looking at the trend of the pre-election cases that arose from the shambolic and disastrous "primaries" of the APC, the Appeal Court tried to give soft landing to the party in most cases where they ought not to have participated in the election, cases that are self-inflicted injuries by the APC including the Rivers case. Thank God for the Supreme Court which ensures Democracy is always protected. Another show of bias was the Osun Election which the Appeal Court gave the APC yesterday. The hope is now in the Supreme Court to do justice and set aside the bias Appeal Court judgment as usual. 55 Likes 4 Shares |
