APC Supporters In Imo State Are Disappointed That Their Presidential Candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, Could Hardly Stand To Address Them For Two Minutes Damian Duruiheoma, Owerri The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, General Muhammadu Buhari’s last minute campaign in Imo State proved disastrous for his ambition as the majority of the party faithful were disappointed with his inability to speak to them for up to two minutes. Buhari could hardly convince party supporters who had thronged the Dan Anyiam Stadium to hear him tell them the level he would take the country to if he emerged the president of the country. Rather, he spoke for less than two minutes, asking the people to reflect on the leadership of the country under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before leaving the stage, a development that attracted the ire of the party members. “We didn’t know that they only brought us here to protest against the president of our country. They invited us as women leaders from our communities, that is why you could see hundreds of us. We thought we were coming for CGC seminar as they told us, we didn’t know we were called out to come and fight their own fight” As party members showed their disapproval of Buhari, some of the several Women APC supporters, who were recruited to protest against President Goodluck Jonathan in Owerri, have told The UNION, that they were deceived by Governor Rochas Okorocha, to stage the protest. They said they were ferried to Owerri in the guise of attending a seminar only to be used to cause a blockade against the president. However, party members were of the view that it was Buhari’s weakness of the body that prevented him from speaking as other campaigners normally do, attributing it to health failure. Some of the APC followers at the stadium, who were led by a man who simply identified himself as Andrew Ibemere, said, “I’ve said it time without number that this man is not fit to lead us as president and has no business in government anymore. For us, we will vote for President Goodluck Jonathan during the presidential election and Governor Rochas Okorocha for governorship election.” But reacting to the development, Director-General of Rochas Okorocha Campaign Organisation and state commissioner for Housing and Urban Development and Beautification, Iheukwumere Alaribe, attributed the development to a series of meetings which the APC presidential aspirant had in Anambra and Enugu States. “He has two other places to attend-Anambra and Enugu- and all these programmes had to be re-adjusted because of the time he had to spend in Abuja this morning in meetings. He is very healthy. “It’s not as if he could not speak to the people of the South East for longer minutes, but when he goes to Anambra, he is also going to speak to the people of the South East. “What he came to do here is just jamboree because he has had an opportunity of speaking with Igbo leaders from all works of life where he had heart-to-heart talk. “Let me tell you, it’s like chasing a woman, you don’t have to do that in the public. The most important things have been done in doors”, he said. Meanwhile, information available to The UNION from Onitsha, Anambra State indicated that Buhari could not attend the South East Town Hall meeting due mainly to his failing health condition. He was said to have abruptly cancelled his scheduled appearance at the meeting Monday evening. A reliable party source told The UNION that the APC presidential candidate felt exhausted after attending the rally in Owerri hours earlier. According to the source, the senator representing Anambra central district, Sen. Chris Ngige, had to plead with the disappointed audience that the presidential candidate could not make it due to “conditions beyond Buhari’s control”. He said “I can tell you that the APC campaign activity in Owerri may have aggravated his condition”. Meanwhile, hundreds of women of Imo State loyal to the All Progressives Congress (APC), yesterday regretted that they were deceived and brought to Owerri, the state capital to protest against the coming of President Goodluck Jonathan to the state. The women had stormed the chambers of the Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers, Owerri, to protest the use of the place by a faction of traditional rulers led by Eze Cletus Ilomuanya to receive the president, saying the place was a Women Development Centre where they were supposed to hold a seminar. They blocked the roads to the centre, a development that led to the police and the soldiers begging them to give way. But they insisted and stayed put. They were however chased out of the place by some policemen through the use of tear-gas canisters. But speaking with journalists, one of the women from Okigwe LGA, who was clutching her baby by her side, Mrs. Ngozi Anorue, said they were invited by the governor for a seminar at the centre. “But, we didn’t know that they only brought us here to protest against the president of our country. They invited us as women leaders from our communities, that is why you could see hundreds of us. We thought we were coming for CGC seminar as they told us, we didn’t know we were called out to come and fight their own fight. “Look my brother stop blaming me. Do I have any problem with President Jonathan? I don’t. So, why should I come and begin to protest against the president. In fact, most of us believe that we will vote for President Jonathan and later vote for Rochas. So we were deceived to protest against President Jonathan, ” she said. http://theunion.com.ng/buhari-fails-in-owerri-•as-apc-women-regret-protest-against-jonathan/ |
asadike:Same with me I relocated to Awka last month, so many of our people are coming home to invest or seek emploment, the governor and his team are really doing great in all sectors, some times I ask myself where he get all the money he is using to carry out all these developments constructing roads, building flyovers, malls, hotels and others simultaneously and increasing civil servant salaries why other governors abondoned their responsiblity and refused to pay works for some months blaming president for their irresponsibility. Thanks my governor. |

sincerenigerian:ANAMBRA: Malfunctioning machine THE mock accreditation conducted at Igboukwu Ward 1 in AnambraState showed the Card Reader failing to recognise about half of those who presented the cards. It also took between 10 seconds and 10minutesfor the Card Reader to clear some of the prospective voters, just as the battery of some of the machines went down after barely three hours of operation. Even when some people washed their hands and returned to try again, the Card Reader still rejected their fingers. One significant feature of the exercise was the rejection of PVCs bysome pollingcenters, which some of the stakeholders described as a welcome development as it showed thatnobody can vote outside the area where he registered. The state REC, Mr. Edwin Nwatarali, who monitored the exercise with some of his staff, took note of the deficiencies. He however expressed happiness that there was no incidence of the Card Reader rejecting the PVCs brought to the pollingstations by their owners. The REC was also confronted with the issue of those who claimed that their PVCs were already signed by other people by the time they went to collect them, but he advised those who had such problemsto report to him for proper verification. Though the INEC staff were at their dutyposts by 8.00 am, prospective votersdid not arrive early, apparently due to lack of publicity. For instance, at Amaudo Akwukwa polling unit, the first voter arrived at about 9.00am. and it took three secondsfor him to be accredited. However, as the exercise was going on, public address systems were used to ask people in the ward to go for the mock election. When it became a common feature thatthe Card Reader was rejecting fingersof most voters, the INEC workersasked such people to go and wash their hands without rubbing bodycream. In some of the polling units, the INEC workers resorted to usinghandkerchiefs to clean the fingers of the affected people, and it still did not work for some people. Some of the party candidates that had Igboukwu as part of their constituency also monitored the exercise. The senatorial candidate for Anambra South, Dr. AndyUba, who is also the Chairman of Senate Committee on INEC, observed the exercise in some of the polling units and was briefed by the INEC workers about the challenges they were facing. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/03/mock-poll-exposes-card-readers-flaws/ Let us be sincere to ourselves |

Since we didn't get 100% assurance from resident commissioners, it will be wise for INEC to postpone the election, 36 commissioners plus FCT suppose to assure us that they are ready for the election, INEC can't ignore other states. |

Or those weapons they are stockpilling what are they for? Our journalist are lazy, that is why many of our citizen lack information National intelligent gathering are poorly managed since 1960, that is why Boko haram took us unnoticed, when northern political elite introduced sharia in some northern parts and using Boko leaders to perpetuate their evil nobody raise alarm, now they are mosters, you guys are blaming GEJ, when CIA said Nigeria will disintegrate during Obj regime, we started condeming them, calling them our enemy, instead of engaging them to salvage the fault fundation of this country some regions are benefiting from, we where busy dancing Owambe, we are now seeing they signs every were. All we are after is our selfish interests. We have placed the unity of this country in God's hands, "bible says heaven help those that help themselfs" even our leaders are confused, they don't know Nigerian faith after this coming election. |
