The incorruptible' catastrophic general, I hail thee. We are watching you in 3D.

Abagworo:
Because her children are not involved. What a silly woman .

The same Ajimobi that is owing state workers salaries should take over LAUTECH completely? He can't and that is the truth, it's better the school is handed over to the Federal Government (story for another day) in order to solve this lingering crises.

These are some of the collateral damages we are trying to avoid, but I urge the people of Gbaramatu kingdom to embrace peace, despite what happened.” Chief Clark asserted.


I hope the communities harbouring criminal vandals listens to chief Clark. When you provide refuge for economic terrorists, there will be unintended collateral damages.

It has been many months since ex-President Goodluck Jonathan set a new tone for democracy and election in Nigeria and Africa by refusing the age-long penchant by African leaders to manipulate the electoral system to perpetuate themselves in power. Hate him or like him, you just have to give it to him that he scored the bull’s eye in bequeathing a far better electoral system than he inherited.

Under Jonathan’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government, the INEC was given full political, administrative, and financial autonomy, which made success recorded by Prof. Attahiru Jega’s success possible. For example, while his predecessors went on their knees to beg the Federal Government (FG) for funds, Jega’s INEC received by far more money and through first line charge than the predecessors.

Beyond laws, Jonathan’s body language helped greatly in reshaping the nation’s elections history. For instance, while no law forbade him from appointing a fellow Ijaw man an INEC Chairman, he appointed Prof. Jega, a Fulani from Kebbi State.

He was always the first to issue statements congratulating the opposition parties each time they won governorship elections, even if the State PDP was kicking. While the opposition threatened that the dog and baboon would soak in blood, Jonathan’s sing-song was that his ambition was not worth the blood of any Nigerian. And when Nigeria’s fate hung in the balance after the 2015 election, he showed statesmanship and courage by calling to congratulate Muhammadu Buhari. He did not even bother going to the tribunal, although he had good grounds to. He was apparently more concerned with Nigerians reuniting to move forward and in causing no distractions for his successor.

Unfortunately, all these worthy legacies are petering away before the eyes of Nigerians, with impunity, fumbling, and inconclusiveness taking centre stage.

First, the departing INEC Chairman handed over to his next in hierarchy, Mohammed Wali ,in acting capacity, but the presidency led by Buhari overruled him. In his stead was appointed Amina Zakari, an alleged relation of President Muhammadu Buhari, who also worked very closely with him at the Petroleum Trust Fund and also with Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. Even when her tenure as a Commissioner at INEC expired, she continued to hold sway as Acting INEC chairperson under no known law and an arrangement that sent legal luminaries pondering.

Next, security agencies got directly involved in electoral petitions for the first time since 1999. They invaded INEC offices, arresting, interrogating and intimidating INEC officials and PDP witnesses at will. Chairman of Rivers Governorship Election Panel was changed. Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Taraba tribunals were also relocated to Abuja for so-called ‘security’ reasons.

The DSS has carried on so obnoxiously under this regime that it has been nicknamed Daura Secret Service on the social media. President Buhari and the Director-General of DSS, a former member of the APC Presidential Campaign Team, both hail from Daura.

In another show of impunity and disregard for rule of law (Section 153 of the 1999 Constitution provides for 12 Commissioners and a Chairman), President Buhari refused to constitute INEC board until November 2015. Even when he eventually did, he ensured it was inconclusive as he appointed only six.

Buhari is the first Nigerian president to appoint someone of his ethnic extraction as INEC Chairman. Could he and his other opposition leaders have accepted it if Jonathan had appointed an Ijaw as INEC Chairman?

brownlord:
The next general election may as well be extended by 4 years, I warned you lots but your stupidity didn't allow you see what you where yearning for. The era of free and fair election is gone. You lots said if Buhari didn't perform you will vote him out but you forgot you only can vote when you're given the right to vote. If APC can't successfully organize one state or even a local govt election in a day how how are they to organize a general election across the Length and breath of Nigeria?

Omenka, passingshot, obiageli, R3t@rdemdem and other Buhari sycophants is this the change you guys where yearning for? Even Obiageli don't have enough money to buy feed for poultry because of the prize of maize, this was someone who was doing very well and even employing others during the corrupt GEJ era, smh

KARMA,

I remember vividly how Naira land Zombies accused Jonathan of trying to install interim government
When he posoned election in the NE to keep the rampaging Boko haram in check.

Today APC is postponing election for an unforeseen terror attack.
Hmmmmm.


If you are still supporting this Government,

U need a psychiatric evaluation.
