PoliticsMy Open Letter To The INEC Officials And Security Forces by eyeview(op): 10:22am On Feb 22, 2019
As we go into the elections tomorrow, many of you must have received instructions and details of the roles you are to perform to help the APC deliver President Buhari. Some of you may have collected your payment for the jobs.

Please my dear brothers and sisters, ask yourself this question. At the price of N145 which they hijacked the price of PMS, how many litres of fuel can that money buy you and how long can it last you. At the cost of N20,000 per bag, how many bags of rice will it buy you. And it's going to get worse.

A lot of villages in the South west and middle belt have been planned for annexation by the fulani herdsmen once Buhari returns. They have put a hold on their attacks and killings because of the elections. Those innocent children and women that will be killed in their homes with the complicit support of the APC government are counting on you to save their lives and their ancestral lands and villages. Don't betray them because of some money that is not up to a month's salary.

I know you may have received instructions and orders from your superiors, but you are the one that will be on the field. You are the one that will be doing their evil deed. Please, do the right thing. Let the votes of the people count. Don't manipulate the process for them. Don't help them rig. God will hold you accountable for the bloods that will be shed there after by this govt which you helped rig into power. The people sending you to do this have since evacuated their kids from Nigeria.

I pray this letter touches your heart.

God bless.

PoliticsBreaking:inspector Caught Helping Thugs Brand Private Vehicles In Police Colour by eyeview(op): 7:26am On Feb 22, 2019
An unidentified Police Inspector was on Thursday arrested at a hotel in Ewet Housing Estate, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, for aiding some people to paint a fake Police patrol vehicle for use by politicians in Saturday's presidential and National Assembly elections.

The PUNCH learnt that two of the vehicles (Volvo V70), which was one of the types procured by the state government for the Command of the Nigeria Police Force, were brand new cars ostensibly bought for the purpose of aiding electoral fraud.

A source, who was privy to the development, disclosed that the Police intercepted the thugs and the policeman at the hotel while they were branding the vehicles.

He said, "There was information that some men suspected to be political thugs working for a political party were branding the type of Volvo V70 which the state government donated to the Police.

"The rebranding was being done ahead of Saturday's elections.

"The vehicles already had the siren installed and the Police inscription also on it, as well as the identification numbers.

"When the Police got to the hotel, the suspects had already relocated one of the vehicles, while the second vehicle was being branded with the assistance of the Police Inspector.

"He (the Inspector) was taken to the Police Sstation and the vehicle was recovered.

"The Police suspect was taken to the station for investigation and he has made useful statements.

"He mentioned some persons who engaged him in the services he was rendering.

"Investigation is ongoing. The Inspector is serving in one of the intelligence departments in the Akwa Ibom State Police Command."

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Odiko MacDon, said he had yet to be briefed on the development.

He, however, added that if the development was true, the law would take its course.

"I have not yet got briefing on that, but if it is true, the law will take its course," he stated.

Meanwhile, Police said they had arrested one Felix Akpan and Friday Udo of Ikot-Akpan village in Ibesikpo-Asutan Local Government Area and recovered one locally made barrel, two single barrel and 30 cartridges.

"They are currently facing interrogation in one of the departments in the state Command," the source added.

OKOROCHA LAUNCHES FAKE ARMY, POLICE BRANDED VEHICLES


READY TO UNLEASH TERROR ON IMO ELETORATE TO SECURE SENATE SEAT, GOVERNORSHIP

While Nigerians are ruing over postponed presidential and national assembly election, barely three days, the Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze Madumere raised alarm over Governor Anayo Okorocha’s desperation to foist himself on the people of Orlu zone for senate and his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu as his successor, yesterday; he was caught pant down with fake branded army and police vehicles.

This has vindicated Madumere for pointing a finger towards Okorocha and his preparedness to trigger political violence of no small magnitude, while addressing American Election Observers.

Newstrack undercover correspondent has revealed that the vehicles were branded to transport trained militia group and other thugs who will be dressed in fake police and army uniforms.

These fake army and police branded vehicles were first tested with Okorocha’s convoy on Friday day night heralding Saturday, which was to be an election day.

Unsuspecting Imolites had mistaken the convoy for INEC sensitive materials under the guide and protection of army and police troops, only to discover that armed to the teeth dangerous looking personnel were only hoodlums dressed in fake uniforms.

It will be recalled that Imo Police command had paraded miscreants in army uniform last week who were also alleged to have been hired by Okorocha.

It was also reported that some thugs who were camped in one of the loyalists of Okorocha and the CEO of Imo Concorde hotel (name withheld) whose house is a camp to hired thugs and militia was burst with some of the hoodlums in custody while others are at large.

Okorocha at various for a had never pretended over his desperation and readiness to spill blood should he not have his way to emerge winner of Imo West senatorial seat and emergence of his son-in-law as next governor of the state despite resistance of Imo people.

Our investigator under a threatening arrangement was able to trace the suspicious vehicles to Okorocha’s Owerri mansion where the vehicles are being branded whereas some of the hoodlums are camped in his Rochas International Foundation College also within the same complex.

Meanwhile, most of the branded vehicles to deceive the unsuspecting electorate have been moved to Okorocha’s Ogboko country home.

Our reporter also traced others to Ohaji-Egbema, Umuowa in Orlu local government area of Imo State and troop of other marauders to Okorocha’s country home in Ogboko, Ideato South local government of Imo State.

One Mr. Frank Onwumere, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Imo Community Watch and the chief trainer, one huge Mr. Okorocha have been the commanders of both the state arranged security and the newly hired hoodlums, which include, IPOM militia group, militant groups and gangs of various cult groups.

Cult groups are said to be under the direct control of Okorocha’s son-in-law, Mr. Nwosu who is also the governorship candidate of Action Alliance. Meanwhile he is being assisted by Comrade Godstime Samuel Chibuikem who is the Deputy Governor’s kinsman and the vice chairman of Mbaitoli local government area of Imo state

PoliticsBuhari’s Administration Treats Osinbajo Like A Glorified Houseboy—Akin Osuntokun by eyeview(op): 11:25am On Feb 17, 2019
A  former Political Adviser to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, Akin Osuntokun, in this interview with FRIDAY OLOKOR, says President Muhammadu Buhari will be more vindictive if he is re-elected. Excerpts:

On Saturday, Nigeria  will go to the polls once again to elect a president.  What are your fears about the elections?

My fear is the incumbent President(Muhammadu Buhari) and his associates.  They will be desperate and panicky. The most significant revelation in that respect is the statement by Kaduna State Governor, (Ahmad Nasir el-Rufai) about the international community. That is a very volatile statement and what it implies is very grievous.  They  are not preparing for  the other outcome. The more the option of losing  gets real, the more panicky and desperate they get. It looks like an element of going for broke. When you put yourself in a position in which you are prepared to become a pariah in the international community, that is an indication of desperation and a desperate person is a dangerous person.

It is very tragic to think that is the exact opposite of  what his predecessor, (Goodluck) Jonathan did, when he elevated himself and showed him (Buhari) the best standards of democracy. He  called his opponent before even all the results were released. We cannot over-emphasise what President Jonathan did in 2015. He stabilised a potentially very volatile political environment. It brought calm to the country. It gave the incoming government a stable and solid base to apply themselves to governance and what have they made of themselves? They have proved themselves unworthy of that kind of gesture and spent most of their time in escapism and criminalising Jonathan in all imaginable ways.

I am not aware of many projects that this President has inaugurated, but there are three that stand out; the development at  the Abuja Airport and the Port Harcourt Airport and the Abuja-Kaduna rail. These were projects that Jonathan paid for before he left, and yet this President has the effrontery to tell you that ‘they were just stealing money, they didn’t do anything,’  In all indices of assessment, this present government has taken Nigeria backward in almost all areas: economic regression, corruption as rated by all credible international organisations, insecurity localised in the North-East but which has spread to Kaduna and Katsina to the point of the governor of Katsina State crying out that he can no longer even guarantee the safety of the Government House.

Will somebody like you go on exile if President Muhammadu Buhari is re-elected?

 You must be a mind reader, of course, there is a likelihood of that because he is going to come back more vindictive. Then there is going to be intense power play within his own circles because his  incapacity can only get worse. So what we are seeing now is going to get multiplied if he is re-elected. The only problem I have is that I cannot imagine myself living elsewhere. I am so emotionally and mentally attached to my roots.

You are a key  actor in the South-West politics and from what we have seen, it appears the zone has become polarised this time than in previous elections. Afenifere, for instance, has been factionalised. Are you not worried that the so-called Awoists have deviated from the ideals of Chief Obafemi Awolowo?

In all organisations, even when Awolowo was alive, you would always find renegades.  I don’t see how they can make any legitimate claim. The only known person among them in the Afenifere leadership has excused himself and has not been taking part in their activities,  but I think they just found him useful to use his name and his status. So long as we have takers, there will always be givers.Any incumbent President of Nigeria has the capacity to play divide and rule politics and entice a few people; but at the end of the day, people are not children, you can make a distinction between fake and reality.

Do you see money influencing all these actions?

Yes, of course; what else will you attribute it to? Before Atiku emerged as the candidate of the PDP, in all Yoruba circles, which  have affiliations with Afenifere or Awolowo, what we were saying was that restructuring was what we wanted and that we would support any candidate that adopted it. Hence Atiku has been on it for a very long time and even at a cost to his popularity in the North.

So when he emerged as the PDP presidential candidate with that agenda, then we started seeing leaders and elders speaking from both sides of the mouth, about what we all knew then. It is a pity.

Nigeria is in a very traumatic state and of course because of the harsh economy, complexity of human frailty and weakness and some for evasive reasons, we have witnessed a lot of that.
We have seen them talking about Olusegun Obasanjo as if he is the one contesting the election. So this is a kind of escapism, they will focus attention on Obasanjo and I said ‘if you want to criticise Obasanjo, for you to have legitimacy to criticise him, you must reject what we have now; if you are not rejecting that person, that means you are just playing the game you are sent to do.’  The only way you can be considered credible and legitimate is that you disown what is happening.  In all indices  you may think this government has done badly. How does a President seek reelection on the platform of anti-corruption, accept Adams Oshiomhole as the leader of his campaign? He went to Kano to raise the hand of Ganduje and before that he was making excuses for him.  This is an anti-corruption government making excuses for somebody who was caught on camera.

In the South-West politics; Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has remained a potent force and nobody has been able to withstand him....

I don’t agree with you. During the Osun State governorship election, they (the APC) lost the election and rigged it blatantly. So what are you attributing to him? Senator Adeleke defeated them hands down. They had an incumbent governor there, the treasury was open to them and yet they were defeated.

Since 1999, Tinubu has continued to be relevant in Lagos State and in  South-West politics...

Don’t forget that he started on the platform of the National Democratic Coalition and because of his role, he has acquired a lot of legitimacy.

In my view, he has a lot of respect on account of that and he is also a very generous and pleasant person; so it is easy for people to like him.

You must also credit him with what you are seeing; to sustain that kind of political relevance, it takes something more than the average politician. But at the same time, he is smart to build up a lot of influence in the media. He understands the power of propaganda and he invested heavily in it.  On the contrary, the PDP side seems to be very incapable when it comes to publicity and propaganda. They are like a sitting duck. A lot of it also has to do with luck and make-belief.

To what extent for instance will you attribute Ibikunle Amosun’s governorship election in Ogun State to his (Tinubu’s) support? He rarely did not support (the governorship of) Kayode Fayemi, although the election was stolen too. Like most political leaders,  political preeminence has to do with myth. He has succeeded in creating that myth around himself,  but if you probe deeper, you will see that he (Tinubu) is in the battle of his life now.


Do you still see somebody like Tinubu holding the aces in the next 10 years...?

Not at all; he has vested interest in Buhari losing this election.   If when somebody needs you for re-election, he treated you the  way he did;  his wife said it publicly on the TV,  when he no longer needs you what will he do? It is simple logic.

He, of course, knows that many people around Buhari and the cabal don’t like him.  He has more enemies within the APC in the Buhari hierarchy more than he has friends and they are going to go after him and of course maybe he doesn’t understand the mentality of the people that he is dealing with. People like Buhari don’t share powers. There is no doubt he (Buhari) has some kind of Fulani hegemony agenda. You see the personalisation of the security agencies, doing things that imply that the others are second class citizens.
Bola Tinubu is also vulnerable in terms of allegations that have been made against him; so he is going to operate under the sword of Damocles and knowing these people, they probably want to use him to prove a point, that for our supporters, we don’t shield them or whatever it is. So if he doesn’t understand all these, then he would not be worthy of the kind of ability you are attributing to him.

Are you expecting a repeat of 1984?


That was military dictatorship. Up till 1998 when Gen. Sani Abacha died, the politics and Presidency of Nigeria was like a plain yard of the North. The hegemony they had exerted was reinforced in 1966. Don’t forget they wanted to secede but they didn’t.
The so-called northern hegemony of civilians and the military said that they were going to remain in Nigeria on their own terms and their terms of permanent domination. We will be unfair if we are attributing the shortcomings of Buhari to the North. From my own random investigation, I am sure that the majority of the northern elites are not really with him. There is something like mob democracy, so he is able now to appeal to the base sentiments of the northern masses, ‘that is our leader, this is the man, we versus them’; so, once he attains the leadership of that kind of chauvinistic ethnic base, the other leaders are being put on the spot. If you now come out to criticise them, they will accuse you of being a sellout or a traitor. You shouldn’t mistake the silence of many of these people as consent or collaboration with Buhari in whatever agenda he is prosecuting. President Buhari and the so-called cabal, have not demonstrated what I will call enlightened self- interest. They are prone to internal squabbles. The Director-General of the DSS and the EFCC chairman work directly with the President.  This President kept on nominating Ibrahim Magu to the Senate for confirmation; the DG of the DSS under him was the one providing evidence why he should not be confirmed. So again this is a kind of dysfunctional administration that you have. Your own the DG of the DSS, answerable to you, goes to the Senate to provide an evidence to propose that the person you, his principal, has nominated should not be honoured. So we are going to have more of this. There is a lot of this in the way they treat Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo like a glorified houseboy.

The helicopter accident Osinbajo had in Kabba, Kogi State, was scandalous and it was very revealing. I worked in the Presidency for five years, the Vice-President of Nigeria, by protocol, has access to innumerable helicopters, including military ones and then where he found the need to go and charter a private helicopter, this is an indication of the way they treat him.  He has no business taking a private commercial helicopter on an errand that is not personal to him. That is an illustration of how you can have an idea of what is going on in that place. We thank God that he survived it.

PoliticsMagnus Abe: 'Amaechi Asked Me To Bomb INEC Office’ by eyeview(op): 1:34pm On Feb 16, 2019
The lawmaker representing Rivers South-East Senatorial district, Magnus Abe, on Friday claimed that the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi once asked him to bomb the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in Port Harcourt, the state capital.


He said this while rubbisshing Amaechi’s claim that he was working with the State Governor, Nyesom Wike against the interest of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

In a statement he signed, Abe, who is a factional governorship candidate of the APC in the state said: “I have received several calls this morning that the the Minister of Transportation Rt Hon Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi was on air this morning alleging that I am being used by Gov Wike to destabilise the APC in Rivers state.


“It’s unfortunate that the only time we met, at the office of the national chairman of the APC to try to find some working solution to crisis in the party, the Hon Minister of Transportation, Rt Hon Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, spent over two hour abusing me, and calling me names.

“He did not mention Rivers state or the APC once in the course of his entire diatribe. The national chairman could not call him to order or remind him of the purpose for the meeting that day. Instead the party was bullied into participating in an illegality.

“Today, rather than discuss how we can come together despite our differences to mobilise Rivers people to vote for our party and our President, Minister Amaechi was busy telling Rivers people that I am being used by Governor Wike.

“Amaechi as governor worked with me and he is aware that several times he ordered me to do things that I considered wrong, or incompatible with my principles, I not only refused to carry out such orders but I always told him to his face that I would not do them and I never did.

“When he ordered me to go arrange to bomb the INEC office in Port -Harcourt after the 2015 elections. I told him to his face that I cannot be part of any action that would involve violence and death because of politics, when he ordered the attacks on GDI at the time Governor Wike started GDI in Rivers state, Gokana was the first local Government in Rivers state that disobeyed that order, even though there were those hell bent on carrying out his orders in Gokana at time.

“So Minister Amaechi knows from personal experience that I cannot be used by anybody to do something I do not believe in. His refusal as a leader to accept responsibility for his actions is the reason the party is in this state. The bulk of the fight against Wike in 2015 was in my senatorial district, I led the fight in person from the front even in the face of clear personal danger. It is unfortunate that rather than face the real issues the Minister has continued to engage in name calling, inciting violence, and abusing those that can help to find solutions.”
