GEJ’s Visit to Wounded Troops. What I Noticed POSTED BY TOKUNBO AKINTOLA ON JANUARY 19, 2015 POSTED IN FOTOVOICE I don’t know if I am missing something here but, here are a few details missing in the photos: 1. No doctor to show the President around and introduce the wounded soldiers. 2. No drips, no broken skin, no bandages. Were they down with malaria and not gun shot wounds? 3. The mattresses, blankets and mosquito nets are very new and look previously unused. 4. Some of the injured soldiers look awkward, with one or two smiling. I know for sure you won’t be smiling long after being shot but that’s probably not so important.[color=#770077][/color] |

“Osinbajo Is My Problem”-President Jonathan Cries Out In Secret Meeting With Pentecostal Pastors In Abuja | Empowered Newswire Ruffled by the momentum generated by the nomination of Pastor Yemi Osinbajo as General Mohamadu Buhari's running mate, President Goodluck Jonathan is asking a group of Pentecostal pastors to help him avert what he fears could be an impending loss in next month's presidential polls. BY EMPOWERED NEWSWIRE, ABUJAJAN 19, 2015 Bishop David Oyedepo led the Pentecostal pastors to the meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan State House Photo Osinbajo, a prominent cleric with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, law professor and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN emerged APC's presidential running mate last month giving President Jonathan and the ruling party, PDP, what is being described as sleepless nights, by sources. Specifically last Thursday, the President held a meeting in Abuja, with a number of Pentecostal pastors led by Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners Chapel, with the main agenda being how to fashion out ways to solve the "Osinbajo" problem. Sources at the meeting confirmed that President Jonathan confessed in a rather rattled and humbling manner that "Osinbajo is my problem." According to those at the meeting, the President added that "everything was okay until APC picked Osinbajo." This is coming against the background of wild speculations that APC is an Islamist party and that General Buhari is a religious fundamentalist-which has become one of the main planks of the PDP presidential campaign. While PDP chieftains and supporters have continued to characterize APC as an Islamist party, APC leaders have consistently dismissed such as unfounded, baseless and a scare tactic by the PDP. Many observers say the nomination of a prominent Pentecostal pastor from the fastest growing church in Africa by the APC may have effectively doused such speculations and the attempt to label the party as one with an islamization agenda. There has been a rather conscious attempt to make next month's presidential polls a religious one especially in the Southern part of the country where there is a much larger Christian population, observers say. At the meeting organized by the Executive Secretary of the National Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC) John Kennedy Okpara, President Jonathan poured out his mind that running against a leading Pastor of the RCCG, who is also known to be very close to the much reverred General Overseer of the church, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, is an uphill task. Sources at the meeting, said Jonathan was ruffled and much distracted as he confessed to the challenge to him, of the APC naming such a person as Osinbajo as General Buhari's running mate. In response, the Pastors led by Bishop Oyedepo assured the President at the meeting that they would, "starting from today," use every device possible including social media, the pulpit and influence peddling, to campaign in support of President Jonathan and against the Buhari-Osinbajo ticket. Before the meeting with the President, sources said the pastors held a meeting on the same day to strategize and agree on how and what they would present to the president. At that pre-meeting, some Pentecostal pastors suggested that they use the opportunity of the meeting afforded by the President to express their genuine fears on growing insecurity in the North with Boko Haram killing and attacking Christians and other innocent Nigerians. But Bishop David Oyedepo, the most influential pastor at the meeting interrupted the idea, insisting that the meeting was to encourage and strengthen President Jonathan ahead of the elections and not to discuss compelling national issues of concern to majority of Nigerians. While some of the pastors were shocked and disappointed that Bishop Oyedepo would not allow them to raise important issues bothering most Nigerians, they decided to keep silent not to be seen as spoilsports. And later after meeting the president, the pastors gathered together again on the same day to device strategies they will use to campaign against Buhari/Osinbajo, with the main scheme being to label the ticket as an Islamist one. Some of the pastors also suggested that they can influence Christians that the position of Vice President is not an effective one, and that having a Christian hold it makes no difference, although the Nigerian constitution and the order of precedence makes the office the next in rank to the president. Indeed as if carrying out the resolve, members of the Winners Chapel said Bishop Oyedepo has already started using the pulpit to achieve the goals set out at last Thursday meeting in Abuja. Some of the members said yesterday Sunday January 18, Bishop Oyedepo raised a prayer point that an Islamist would not become the President of Nigeria in the polls coming next month to the chagrin of many of the church attendants on Sunday. |

Again, Jonathan Begs Aggrieved PDP Chieftains Not To Leave Party BY FESTUS OWETEJAN 16, 2015 Again, President Goodluck Jonathan has pleaded with aggrieved members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who lost out during the party’s primaries not to defect to other parties. Addressing PDP supporters in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital, the president said those aggrieved now might have the opportunity to be elected after the tenure of the winners. President Goodluck Jonathan President Goodluck Jonathan The Trent Nigeria Mr. Jonathan had made a similar plea last month following threats by some members who lost in the governorship, Senate, House of Representatives and State Houses of Assembly primaries, to quit the party. However, prominent members of the party, including a former National Chairman of the PDP, Barnabas Gemade, a former National Auditor, Samuel Ortom, and a former Information Minister, Labaran Maku, dumped the party. There were also reports that the Ebonyi State Governor, Martin Elechi, some of his government’s officials and 22 governorship aspirants on the PDP platform in Akwa Ibom State, were also planning to leave the party. Mr. Jonathan asked the aggrieved aspirants to stay in the party members and work with those who won. “At the end of our primaries, there were grievances all over the country, not only the PDP, all parties. There is no party that will do primaries that there will be no issues, but we plead that we should stay, work together in the party,” the president. “Don’t leave the party because you are aggrieved, No. we have to stay together. The tenure of any office – whether it is the state assembly, Senator, House of Representatives member lasts four years. After that four years if you feel your were not treated well, it may be you turn. Probably, we didn’t give you higher office to run, stay we can carry ourselves together.” The president said the PDP’s campaign was essentially for the young people and women. He said Nigeria’s future belongs to the young people who must be developed to achieve their potentials. He added, “If I should tell Nigerians that myself and my age mates are the ones to take Nigeria to the moon then I am lying. We are almost gone. So we have to create the environment for the young people. “Every year we take young people to the best universities in the world. If we want to buy weapons we have to go to the left, go to the right to beg to buy. Those who manufacture these things are not angels they human beings like us. Our own case, probably we don’t have that kind of education that will make our people to come to revolutionise the industries. This is one of the reasons we are sending these people so that in the future they will be able to produce our needs. “This government is focused; we know where we are going. We know where we are taking this country to. We only say the young people should join us. Nobody should deceive you, nobody should buy your votes because since 1960 when we gained independence people have been buying your vote.” He said unlike the All Progressives Congress, APC, his administration would not build prisons. He however said if elected he would continue to build schools to grow the young ones. “It may be a day dream, but I am also dreaming that one day we will not have prisons in this country. One day we will be able to create enough opportunities for all Nigerians and Nigerians will not be thinking about prison,” he said. Mr. Jonathan also said he looked forward to the day a woman would become the president of Nigeria. Stating that the votes of the women were very important, the president said since 1960, Nigerian politicians had been playing politics, forming governments and constituting cabinets, but his administration was the first to give identity to the Nigerian women. “That is not where the PDP government wants to end. I have said that we want a situation where international magazine will talk about women in governance and any other thing. And for you to do that you must start at home. So also our women we must expose them. “Whatever they ask us what example can you give us so that we can be convinced? We are putting the women; even in ECOWAS, the person representing Nigeria is a woman, in OAU, the woman there, in the UN, a woman, Joy Ogwu is there. We are pushing more women to global level,” the president said. “This is the only administration that is ready to give, including the one I am asking for, to women. I would have loved to see a female president before I die. That is my aspiration. My aspiration is that I should see a female president before I die. I should see a female governor, deputy governors though we have some deputy governors already. We want to see women go further and further. At the national level we are pushing for more women to go to the parliament.” Mr. Jonathan said he always felt at home whenever he was in Ebonyi State, describing it as “a peaceful state”. He said the state and his home state, Bayelsa, were had a lot of things in common. He stated further, “Those problems we have in Bayelsa State are the problems we have here. That is why you don’t need to come to me to request for change. I have an idea. I may not know all. “Let me assure you that whatever you want we will do. The key things due to the ‘salt of the nation’ it will surely get.” The president also said his administration had a plan to stop importing rice in the next four years and that Ebonyi State was one of the states it was relying on to achieve what he described as “rice revolution.” Stating that the Abaliki rice was already popular, the president said “What we want to do is to improve on our farming, the quality of our produce, cassava and so on. It will surely key into our rice revolution. “We will develop young men and women that will go into commercial agriculture. We must work with people in Ebonyi State to encourage small and medium scale industries. That is the only thing we will do to create to job. Ebonyi State luckily has a lot of minerals. With the drop in the oil price, government will surely diversify the economy. Solid minerals and agriculture are some of these areas that we will go in.” |

Kaduna: Zamfara PDP gov aspirant, supporters back El-Rufai JANUARY 15, 2015 BY GODWIN ISENYO, KADUNA A Zamfara State State’s Peoples Democratic Party governorship aspirant, Alhaji Sagir Hamidu, with some of his supporters visited the campaign office of former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, on Thursday in Kaduna. El-Rufai is the Kaduna State All Progressives Congress governorship candidate for the February poll in the state. But Hamidu, in what appeared to be demonstrating lack of confidence in the leadership of his party, told journalists that the PDP was full of injustice and impunity. He added that he was short-changed in the party’s primaries in favour of former Governor of the state (Zamfara), Alhaji Mahmud Shinkafi. Although, Hamidu urged his teeming supporters in Zamfara to await his next move, he noted that his soliarity visit to El-Rufai, who he simply described “as my boss,” did not constitute an anti-party activity. He explained that though he remained a card carrying member of the ruling party, he had no reason to abandon El-Rufai because “he is an age-long friend and brother, which political differences cannot separate.” He said, “From what I have seen so far, there is injustice in Zamfara PDP. I felt short-changed at the govenorship primary. But I have taken it in good faith and at the appropriate time, the truth will prevail because politics is dynamic. There is a great injustice in Zamfara PDP. “I participated in Zamfara PDP governorship primary, but things did not go my way as expected. I cannot tell you whether I will defect to APC or not, but the people will hear from me. “This is democracy; I don’t think anybody will misunderstand my visit as an anti- party activity. Democracy is about interaction, we interact for understanding in order to deepen democracy, and bridge political differences. “As you might have known, Mallam El-Rufai has been my boss and once a boss, you are always a boss. I was supposed to visit him during the new year but I was not able to see him. I have actually come to wish him well in his governorship ambition. I have come to pay him the usual respect.” |
Government clueless, Nigeria needs rescue, says Okogie JANUARY 15, 2015 BY RAMON OLADIMEJI 77 COMMENTS A former Catholic Archibishop of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal Okogie, on Thursday said the present government in Nigeria is clueless. Okogie said that the country needed an urgent rescue from what he described as “imminent brink of irredeemable destruction.” The cleric therefore called on all Nigerians to wake up from their slumber and face the reality by electing into the position of leadership only persons “who know what to do.” He added that effort must be made to educate the average Nigerian to choose their leader based on capability and not on the basis of ethnic or religious affiliations. Okogie spoke in Lagos at the 11th edition of the Gani Fawehinmi Annual Lecture/Symposium, where he was the chairman of the occasion. He decried the present prevalent insecurity in the country and the nation’s economic woes. Okogie said, “There is extra urgency to rescue Nigeria. This is the time when every right thinking Nigerian must pray to hate the present situation strong enough such as to desire the fortitude to act right. “This time does not allow for indifference. All must rise to save Nigeria from the brink of irredeemable destruction. This is the time we must play politics of the best, for the best position, in order to guarantee the best for our nation. Let only those with the fear of God and love of their neighbours lead Nigeria; only those who know what to do should sit at the helms of affairs. Enough of mediocrity, enough of failures, enough of nepotism, enough of ethnicity.” Okogie, while describing the late Fawehinmi, a human rights lawyer, as courageous, principled, selfless and a detribalised statesman, said he was sure that Fawehinmi was now restless in his grave at the present state of the nation. |

Real reason Jonathan visited Maiduguri January 15, 2015Ola' Audu Contrary to claims by the Presidency that President Goodluck Jonathan made a surprise visit to Maiduguri, the Borno state capital, on Thursday out of genuine concern to identify with troops and displaced people, insiders in the president’s campaign have told PREMIUM TIMES the journey was packaged to prepare the ground for Mr. Jonathan’s campaign in the troubled Northeast region beginning next week. The President, accompanied by the Chief of Defence Staff, Service Chiefs, the National Security Adviser and the Director-General of the National Emergency Management Agency, visited officers and men of the 7 Division of the Nigerian Army at Maimalari Cantonment in Maiduguri, thanking them for their service to the nation and telling them the nation was proud of them and grateful for their dedication and commitment to the defence of the civilian population against terrorists. But those familiar with Mr Jonathan’s political strategies as he campaigns for re-election said the President was talked into the trip by his political advisers and officials of his campaign council as a way of neutralising criticism over his refusal to visit the region despite an upsurge in attacks by Boko Haram militants who have massacred civilians and security officials. The president’s party, the Peoples Democratic Party, had recently announced that Mr. Jonathan would visit the troubled zone to canvass votes despite failing to visit the towns where the insurgents have continued to murder and abduct hundreds. Our source, who asked not to be named so as not to be accused of sabotaging the President’s campaign, said Mr. Jonathan became concerned after widespread criticism trailed the announcement that he would be campaigning in the region. “The president was advised to try and make at least one non-political visit to the region to shut up critics,” one of our sources said. “Everyone agreed that taking campaigns to the zone without this kind of initial visit might expose the President to ridicule. That’s essentially why he visited today, and I’m telling you this authoritatively.” Another source said Mr. Jonathan has scheduled campaign stops for Bauchi (Bauchi) on January 22, and Maiduguri (Borno) on January 24. By the schedule read out to PREMIUM TIMES Thursday night, the president’s campaign train plans to be in Yola (Adamawa) on January 29 and Gombe (Gombe) and Damaturu (Yobe) on February 2. “With today’s visit to Maiduguri, we believe the ground is now better prepared for campaign stops,” an official said. The top officials of the President’s campaigns couldn’t be reached to comment for this story. Director General Ahmadu Ali and campaign spokesperson, Femi Fani-Kayode, did not answer or return calls seeking comments. Meanwhile, our reporter in Maiduguri has sent dispatches giving additional details about the President’s surprise visit to the Borno state capital. The president arrived Maiduguri on his official jet, accompanied by two other military aircrafts that landed at the Maiduguri International Airport at airport at about 3pm on Thursday. Mr. Jonathan was accompanied by all the service chiefs of the Nigeria Armed forces as well as the national security adviser, Sambo Dasuki, and few other politicians from the state. There was no special reception at the airport, even as major PDP politicians in the state including the minister of states for power, Muhammed Wakil, and former governor, Ali Modu Sheriff, were all conspicuously absent at the airport. The Borno state governor, Kashim Shettima, as well as his deputy, Zannah Mustapha, were at the airport alongside other heads of security forces in the state to receive the president. The president was immediately driven in a convoy of few motorcades escorted by heavily armed soldiers and counter terrorism unit of the police through the barricaded streets of Maiduguri to Brigadier Maimalari barracks where he addressed troops there. IMG_20150115_214417 The president who commended the soldiers at the barracks for their gallantry told the troops that his visit to them was in commemoration of the armed forces remembrance day. Mr Jonathan gave the soldiers the assurances that their welfare would be improved to enable them “crush the insurgents”. The President was also ushered into the military hospital wards inside the barrack where he met with some of the injured soldiers behind closed doors. From barracks, the president headed back to the airport after stopping over at one of the IDP camps along the way where he met and sympathised with the displaced persons from Baga town. He informed the IDPs through an interpreter that the federal government is doing everything possible to ensure they all return to their homes very soon. Jonna 4 “The federal government is very much concerned about your situation here and I assure you all that we very soon you will all return back to your homes in Bama, Gubio, Ngala and Baga. I want you all to be patient and cooperate with the NEMA and other emergency aid agencies who are instructed to cater for your welfare while in the camp,” he said. The presidential aircraft took off from Maiduguri International Airport at about 6:20pm. |
geria2015: Peace pact will work only if security agencies stay neutral – APC warns January 15, 2015Festus Owete The All Progressives Congress, APC, has said the peace accord signed by the political parties on Wednesday ahead of the February elections would only work if the Presidency ensures the neutrality of the security agencies during the polls. The spokesperson of the party, Lai Mohammed, stated this at a conference organised by the Savannah Centre and CSIS Partnership on polls, in Abuja on Thursday. The theme of the two-day conference is “Nigeria 2015 Elections and Beyond, Stakeholders Conference on the Roles of State and Non-State Actors in Mitigating Violence in Elections.” Mr. Mohammed, who was a discussant at the forum alongside officials of other political parties, said though the peace pact signed by presidential candidates of the parties, including President Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari of the Peoples Democratic and All Progressives Congress, APC, respectively was desirable, it would only be effective if the operatives of the security agencies that would be deployed during the election were neutral. He said the opposition party was already losing confidence in one of the agencies. “It will not be successful if there is no sincerity of purpose. I think in this particular respect, the Presidency has more to do if it wants the election to be violent-free It has to ensure the neutrality of all the security agencies involved in the election,” he said. “As long as there is a level-playing field and the umpires are really neutral then that removes areas of conflict.” Mr. Mohammed added, “The credibility of the security agencies is at its lowest ebb. I don’t know how many of you watch the television two days ago when the spokesperson of Department of State Security went to demonize a particular party, accusing that party of being in the process hacking into INEC data base. What they sought to achieve by that I don’t know. “You need to see the kind of humiliation they went through in the hands of DSS. They went through physical torture and mental torture. These young people arrested were called presidential enemies. They were called saboteurs; they were asked how can you working with a party that wants to destabilize Nigeria? If this is the mindset of a particular security agencies there is no way that party will have confidence in that agency.” He recounted his experience with the security operatives who picked him up for alleged wandering during the August 9, 2014 governorship election in Osun State and asked, “Where do you draw the line between militarization and intimidation?” He said some people were also arrested after the election and lamented that up till now, nobody had been charged to court. While insisting that the APC did not commit the offence it was being accused of, Mr. Mohammed expressed worry about the role the PDP was playing in the matter. He asked the PDP not to be involved in the matter because it was already in court. The spokesperson of the APC also noted that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had a big responsibility to ensure the success of the coming elections. Stating that “what happens before the election is more important than what happens after,” Mr. Mohammed said it was worrisome that about 15 million Nigerians had not been able to collect their Permanent Voters Card, PVCs. He lamented that majority of those who were yet to collect their PVCs were indigenes of the states and region, which he described as “APC strongholds.” He said, “It starts with INEC. INEC bears a big responsibility in this respect. Election is a process. What happens before the election is often more important than what happens after. If 15 million people are not able to collect their PVCs, this is a source for concern. “There is so much agitation in the minds of those who cannot collect their PVCs. Majority of those who have not collected their PVCs are from particular states and region.” “The only party that stands to lose most is if elections are not held in the North East zone is APC. That is one of our major strongholds and we want elections to hold.” On the Internally Displaced Persons, Mr. Mohammed asked INEC to transfer voting point to their camps in other to ensure they participate in the exercise. Also speaking at the forum, the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Wale Oladipo, expressed satisfaction with the peace agreement signed by the parties. “We as Nigerians should congratulate ourselves that for the first time a sitting president and an aspiring president will sit down together and in the interest of the nation have minimum agreement on the election. “Secondly I want to commend INEC on behalf of millions of Nigeria for striving… INEC may not be perfect, but it should be commended for the professional input my senior colleague and his team, particularly Professor Lai Olurode are bringing. “We Nigerians should start to appreciate ourselves. You will agree with me that INEC of today is not the INEC of eight years ago. The process we have in place is not the process we had eight years ago. Most of us were witnesses how FEDECO operated and attendant consequences that befell our country. We should learn to start appreciating our institutions.” On the operation of the security agencies, Mr. Oladipo, a professor, from Osun State, said as far as he was concerned they did what they had to do in Osun State. He added, “In Ekiti, my party won fair and square. In Osun State, Mr. President congratulated Governor Aregbesola when he was declared the winner of that election. That is the only way we are going to move from the circle of violence. The winner should be gallant, the loser should congratulate the winner and go back to the drawing board and do more. “If we start doing that as a people there is no way we are not going to get there.” The PDP scribe said there were issues in the election that brought former President George Bush of the United State to power but that because of the interest of the nation they allowed it to go. He stressed, “The security agencies are needed on election days. We need them. We know this. We should learn to respect our own laws. I am from Osun State. I didn’t go to the state to address a press conference. It was not necessary. So, my uncle (Mohammed), if you were pick up for wandering maybe they picked you up for another thing, but…..” In any case, your party still won. That shows the level of neutrality of the security agencies involved.” On the possibility of conducting election in the North East zone, Mr. Oladipo disagreed with Mr, Mohammed, insisting that the APC is not more popular than the PDP in the zone. According to him, of the six states in the zone, four of them namely, Bauchi, Gombe, Taraba and Adamawa are PDP states while “Borno and Yobe are APC states in theory.” He stressed, “We (PDP) have more to lose if elections do not take place in that zone. But Mr. President has said it and I want to repeat it – his election is not worth the blood of a single Nigeria. The most paramount is the safety and security of the people; any other thing is secondary.” |
Jonathan support group accuses Shekarau, Wali, of failing to campaign for president in Kano January 15, 2015Muhammad Ahmad The Goodluck/Sambo Support Group has accused two ministers from Kano and the state Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, gubernatorial candidate of refusing to identify with President Goodluck Jonathan by shunning his posters. “We wish to avail Mr. President and especially the Goodluck/Sambo Presidential Campaign Organization and the general public of the lackadaisical attitude of those charged with the campaign in the state as their approach lacks vigour,” the Chairman of the group, Abdulmuminu Musa, said in a state. “It is a statement of fact that nothing is being done at the moment to bolster the effort in the mobilization drive for the supporters for the re-election project with just about one month to go.” The group observed that despite the proximity of the election date, February 14, there was still no campaign billboard of Mr. Jonathan in the state and no campaign structure on ground for the Jonathan/Sambo election. “No branded vehicle of Mr. President is seen anywhere in the state, no candidate under the platform of PDP including our governorship candidate has openly identified with the aspiration of Mr. President by putting his picture side by side with their own as (has) been the trend,” the group said. “We can go on, but suffice it that the ugly trend can be turn around if Mr. President acts fast.” Mr. Musa said the group believed Mr. Jonathan deserved better treatment. He said his group was made up of 120 sub-groups brought together under one platform to campaign for the president. He said they had managed to mobilise about 1.5 million followers in the last two years of their activities. He lamented that despite their overwhelming strength none of the Jonathan/Sambo campaign people reached out to them, although they have structures spread across the state, local government and even ward levels. “We wish to register our regrets that with the number of Federal Projects brought to Kano and the lucrative appointments given to the sons and daughters of the state as well as other tangible and intangible pecks, Mr. President deserves a better deal from his campaigners. “It is also proper for us to reveal here that this ‘I don’t care attitude’ has begun to tell on some of our members thereby making them vulnerable for poaching by the opposition, especially at this eleventh hour. The Chairman of the Jonathan Kano Project 2015, a member of our group was lured away by the opposition, so we beg for quick action.” |
