The Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba , has ordered a restriction of movement on Saturday, April 11, in all states of the country. The restriction, which applies only to vehicular movement, was ordered in order to ensure the peaceful conduct of the Governorship and State House of Assembly elections slated for that day. This was contained in a statement released on Thursday, April 9, 2015 by the Force Public Relations officer, Emmanuel C. S. Ojukwu . The statement reads: “In a bid to further ensure safety and security in the forthcoming Gubernatorial and State Houses of Assembly elections holding on Saturday, April 11, 2015, the Inspector- General of Police, IGP Suleiman Abba CFR, NPM, NPOM, mni has ordered a restriction of vehicular movement in all the thirty-six (36) States of the Federation from 8am to 5pm on Saturday, April 11, 2015 only.” “This restriction excludes vehicles on essential duty such as Fire Service, Ambulances and vehicles used by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and law enforcement/security agencies.” “There is no restriction of vehicular movement in the Federal Capital Territory as there is no election taking place there on the said date. The IGP assures that adequate security logistics and manpower have been strategically deployed to achieve a most conducive electioneering atmosphere.” “In this regard, Policemen for election duty have been properly briefed on their roles as stipulated in the Electoral Act. They are expected to be professional, non-partisan, civil but firm in their approach and relation to the public.” “Meanwhile, citizens are enjoined to remain vigilant and report all suspicious movements or dealings to appropriate Police authority.” The police had earlier ordered a similar restriction of movement on March 28 to ease the conduct of the Presidential and National Assembly elections.[img]http:///wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Abba-300x180.jpg[/img] Post source here: POLICE IT ORDER RESTRICTED MOVEMENT ON 11 APRIL |

https://punch.cdn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Mr.-Jimi-Agbaje-360x225.jpg Dare Not vote for APC, Push them to Out_ Agbaje Tells IGBO PEOPLE The Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, has urged Igbo across the state to push the All Progressives Congress ‘into the lagoon’ by voting for him on Saturday. Agbaje said this while addressing Igbo traders at the Alaba International Market on Thursday. The PDP candidate urged them to ignore the threats made by the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, that if they do not vote for the APC governorship candidate on Saturday, they would die in the lagoon. “Nobody can push you into the Atlantic Ocean. Rather, you should use your votes to push the APC into the Atlantic Ocean by voting massively for the PDP on Saturday,” Agbaje said. He urged the people to ignore the scare tactics being marshalled by the APC, saying, it was the antics of a drowning party. Agbaje said, “Election is like a snake. You have to make sure you win by killing the snake completely by using your votes to drive the APC out of power. The reason why they are harassing you is because they fear Igbo votes. They will try to do ‘shakara’ for you but you must vote massively for the PDP and protect your votes.” Agbaje, who was accompanied by his running mate, Alhaja Safuratu Abdulkarim; and the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, said the APC had become arrogant because the party had been in power for too long. He said, “In the last 16 years, the APC has been full of arrogance. This arrogance must end once and for all. Saturday is the time to say enough is enough.” Counselling the audience to eschew violence and refuse to be intimidated at the polling venue, Agbaje urged them to guard their votes. He said, “God is on our side and power will change hands on Saturday and life will be better for you and your businesses. There will be no oppression again because this election is about freedom from bondage.” see more stories below Do you know what AGBAJE ALSO TELLS JONATAHAN?GO TO SEE WHAT AGBAJE ALSO SENT TO JONATHAN HERE More agbaje and ambode news here >>>http:// |

A few dozen protesters gathered peacefully Wednesday morning at North Charleston City Hall in South Carolina, United States, less than 24 hours after authorities announced murder charges against a white police officer over the shooting death of an unarmed black man. Protesters handed out signs reading, “Back turned, don’t shoot,” ”Black lives matter” and “Stop racist police terror.” One display included a wood cutout of a man in a hooded sweatshirt with angel wings. It was originally left at the site of the shooting of Walter Lamer Scott Jr., 50. Prosecutors charge that North Charleston police officer Michael Thomas Slager, 33, murdered Scott. A video of the fatal encounter, recorded on a cell phone, shows Scott running away from Slager when the officer opens fire, shooting eight times. Five of the bullets hit Scott, with one piercing the heart of the father of four, family members told The New York Times. Lance Braye helped arrange the protest for the group Black Lives Matter. “We have to take a stand on stuff like this,” the 23-year-old Braye said. “We can’t just shake our heads at our computer screens.” Protesters say North Charleston police have a habit of harassing black people for small offenses, such as the broken brake light that started the traffic stop preceding Scott’s death. Braye said he hopes the video of the incident, taken by a witness whose name hasn’t been released, changes the way police act. “This needs to be the last case,” Braye said. Later in the morning, Charleston County Sheriff Al Cannon said he went to the demonstration Wednesday to meet with community members and keep an eye on what was a peaceful protest. His jurisdiction includes North Charleston. The sheriff said his department started reviewing its policies dealing with minorities after a white officer fatally shot a black man in Ferguson, Missouri. A grand jury did not bring any charges in that case. Cannon said he understands that heavy-handed police tactics of the past few decades have fostered mistrust of law enforcement. He said he thinks investigators would have seen through the officer’s lies without the video, but the video made their job easier. “Once that video came out things moved quickly,” Cannon said. The FBI and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division are investigating the shooting. The DOJ issued a detailed report last month condemning Ferguson’s city government for poor police training, practices it said contributed to the death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown. The city’s police chief and other top officials stepped down in the wake of the report. The death of Brown, and the lack of an indictment against the officer involved, sparked months of protests in the St. Louis suburb. Demonstrations there last year saw street clashes with law enforcement, tear gassings, mass arrests and the looting of businesses in the city. Republican Senator Tim Scott, who is not related to Walter Scott, issued a statement Wednesday morning condemning the shooting death. Sen. Scott is the state’s first black senator since 1881. “The horrific video that came to light yesterday is deeply troubling,” Scott said. “It is clear the killing of Walter Scott was unnecessary and avoidable, and my prayers are with the Scott family as they go through this ordeal,” he added. Sen. Scott said the swift reaction from South Carolina law enforcement underscores “the severity of this terrible event.” Earlier that morning, North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey and Police Chief Eddie Driggers visited Scott’s parents. The slain man’s mother and father had appeared on TV shows earlier that morning. Judy Scott, the mother of 50-year-old Walter Lamer Scott, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Wednesday that she almost couldn’t look at the video showing the shooting last weekend. She said it tore her heart to pieces. After seeing the cell phone video, Walter Scott Sr. said Slager “looked like he was trying to kill a deer running through the woods.” The father said he doesn’t know if the shooting was racially motivated. |
The Peoples Democratic Party has expressed deep concerns over the “apparent indifference” of the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to what it described as burning national issues threatening the unity and stability of the country. PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday said “while well-meaning Nigerians and the international community are celebrating the peace fostered by the patriotic action of President Goodluck Jonathan in conceding defeat, Buhari and his party, the APC, have been moving around the country instigating division, engineering crisis and heightening tension in the polity. “Whereas Buhari had assured Nigerians that he would be the President of the entire nation and not of a political party, his actions in the last one week show otherwise as he has continued to display sectionalism and insensitivity to matters inimical to the survival of our democracy and well-being of Nigerians. “Instead of settling down to plan a smooth transition and design ways of deepening democracy in appreciation of the mandate given to him, General Buhari has tacitly encouraged his men to foment crisis and cause panic in the bid to muzzle personal freedom and impose a reign of terror in the land.” For instance, Metuh alleged that Buhari has remained indifferent to the crisis in Ekiti where majority of the lawmakers who are all members of the APC have been planning to impeach Governor Ayodele Fayose. Metuh added that, “APC’s ambition in Ekiti coupled with its odious triumphalism in the aftermath of the Presidential election have led to avoidable confrontations and near breakdown of law and order in the state as the people rise to defend the mandate freely given to the PDP. “It is indeed unfortunate that while his men are causing crisis and threatening Nigerians, General Buhari, instead of calling them to order, displays his insensitivity by jetting around the country campaigning for his party. “If this sort of insensitivity and arrogance of victory are foretaste of what to expect in a Buhari presidency, then our dear nation and its people are headed for a long trek in the wilderness.” Meanwhile, Metuh in reaction to reports of defection from its fold described the defectors as political trojans, who from within have ceaselessly worked against the interest of the party and now fear that they would face sanctions for their actions. http://www.punchng.com/news/pdp-queries-buharis-indifference-to-burning-national-issues/ |
[img]http:///wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Goodluck-Buhari-2-600x348-300x174.jpg[/img] The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said it would cooperate with the in-coming All Progressives Congress (APC) government for improved development of the country. The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh , disclosed this at a news conference on Tuesday in Abuja. He said that PDP would be an opposition that would offer alternative programmes and ideas to the new government and would not be involved in abuses. “We promise that in the course of this, we will work with the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, to move the country forward as a nation. We will cooperate with him in terms of promoting the values of our country and progress all indices for national growth and foster national unity and the development of the country and its democracy. We will not engage in any activity that will destabilise the nation or the polity or distract the President-elect from offering Nigerians good leadership,’’ Metuh said. He said that the party was adopting the position because the interest of Nigeria was more important than that of a political party or any individual. The PDP spokesman, however, said that being in opposition was not being out of power, adding that the party would return to power in 2019. He stressed that while in the opposition, PDP would conduct its affairs with all decency, maturity, civility and the forthrightness it could muster. He said that the PDP would be the ideal opposition it had always wanted the APC to be, stressing that with cooperation, the two parties would salvage the country`s democracy. He stated that the legacy of the PDP in its 16 years in government was the sustenance of democracy, which, he said the party would do everything to sustain. According to Metuh, in spite of some irregularities in the March 28 Presidential and National Assembly elections, the PDP will do everything to ensure that the President-elect succeeds in office. This, he explained, was because of the party’s belief in the sustenance of the country`s democracy. He, however, hinted that the party would not condone any form of intimidation of its key officials and appointees by the APC or any plan to destabilise it. He disclosed that the party was in the process of rebuilding its fold ‘’on justice, fairness and equity to enable it return to government’’. On the impeachment notice served on Gov. Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state, Metuh said that though the PDP was worried by the development, it would not interfere in the matter. “We will not interfere with the duties of the legislature under the Constitution, but we believe that our governor will respond accordingly once the legislators follow due process,’’ he said.

[img]http:///wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Umeh.jpg[/img] The National Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, Chief Victor Umeh, has appealed to the President- elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), not to vilify Ndigbo for not voting massively for him during the Presidential poll. Umeh who made the appeal at a press conference in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, said the massive support Ndigbo gave to President Goodluck Jonathan though he lost at the poll was based on the conviction of the people that Jonathan represented hope for their political future. He said ” Buhari should not see Ndigbo as his enemies. We are not against Buhari but were only pursuing our political interest. “We were looking for somebody who would help Ndigbo recover from the ruins of the civil war. Jonathan convened a national conference and we felt that the report of the conference would address most of the injustices against Ndigbo, that was why we followed him. ” But now that the election is won and lost we should not be seen as enemies. We hope God will still use Buhari to address our many challenges. He should adopt the report of the conference . ” Buhari will not succeed if he fails to address the injustices in Nigeria or treats Ndigbo as his enemies. We will embrace him and support him if he shows concern for our plights. ” What we followed in the last election was the line of hope we saw in Jonathan. We are looking for a way Ndigbo can come back to Nigeria’s political tripod and survive. ” If Buhari had promised to implement the report of the conference, maybe we would have voted for him en mass . But now he should look for a way to accommodate us and give us a sense of belonging in his government.” The APGA boss, however, said all hope was not lost for Ndigbo politically as APGA would provide the tribe with the opportunity to be re-integrated into national politics. He, therefore, called for the people of South East to help in reviving APGA by voting massively for all its candidates at the April 11 Governorship and House of Assembly polls to serve as a political platform to advance the cause of the Igbo nation. , [url=/2015/04/08/dont-see-ndigbo-people-as-your-enemies-emma-tells-buhari/] SEE MORE NOW ABOUT THIS TOPIC AND PICTURE HERE[/url] |

[img]http:///wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Obasanjo-and-Buhari-360x225-300x188.jpg[/img] The President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, and former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday held a secret meeting in Lagos. Our correspondent learnt that the meeting which held at the Presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, lasted for almost an hour. The meeting, it was learnt, was the first meeting the two would have since Buhari was declared winner of the presidential election on April 1. It was learnt that Buhari and other All Progressives Congress leaders had come to Lagos for a thank you visit and to campaign for the party’s governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, but had a meeting with Obasanjo before setting out to campaign in the Orile area of the state. A member of the President-elect’s entourage said, “Gen. Buhari and former President Obasanjo were in the inner lounge of the presidential wing of the airport where they held a secret meeting for almost an hour. “The National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie- Oyegun, Governor Rotimi Amaechi, Senator Chris Ngige and many of us were made to stay at the main lounge throughout the meeting. We do not really know what was discussed but it must have been very sensitive.” Meanwhile, the Northern Christian Leaders Eagle Eyes Forum, has said the group was not surprised that Buhari won the poll. The group had before the election endorsed Buhari to the consternation of the Christian Association of Nigeria led by Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor. The CAN condemned and distanced itself from the endorsement. Addressing journalists in Kaduna on Tuesday, Chairman of the Forum, Pastor Aminchi Habu, also said under Buhari, Nigeria would take its rightful position among the comity of nations. Saying that they have confidence that the president-elect would steer the ship of the nation to greatness, the cleric noted that he and his other colleagues, believed that the Katsina-born-general deserved his electoral victory because he worked for it. The chairman, specifically hailed the National Leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Senator Bukola Saraki, governors Rotimi Amaechi, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Magatakarda Wamako and Ahmed Abdulfatai for working round the clock to ensure that Buhari won the election. “These men are not only quintessential politicians but also political strategists in their own rights and so deserve special commendation as they worked tirelessly to ensure that Nigeria change for good,” he said.

Yero stops Kaduna chiefs from meeting Osinbajo at Lagos– APC Staffs The All Progressives Congress Campaign Council in Kaduna State allegedon Tuesdaythat state Governor, Mukhtar Yero, stopped traditional rulers from Southern Kaduna from meeting Vice President-elect, Prof.Yemi Osinbajo. Osinbajo was said to have scheduled a meeting with traditional rulers, christian leaders, youths, academia and women leaders from the southern part of the state in Kafanchan ahead of theSaturday’sgovernorship election in the state. But the APC alleged that Yero directed the over 20 traditional rulers not to honour the invitation. However, Malam Ahmed Mayaki, the Director-General, Media and Publicity to the governor, said it was not true. The governor’s aide said the allegation was aimed at tarnishing the image of the governor ahead of theSaturday’spoll, which he is confident the governor would win. He said the APC were bound to fail, noting that the fear of failure informed the opposition party’s move to “bring down” the governor. According to the Director General of Kaduna State APC Campaign Council, Mr. Ben Kure, in a statement in Kaduna, the over 20 traditional rulers, drawn from eight local government areas of Southern Kaduna, were on their way to the palace of Chief of Kagoro, venue of the meeting, when they received the governor’s instruction. He said some chiefs were already in the vicinity of the palace when they received signals, warning them against meeting with Osinbajo. Kure said, “The programme was to first meet traditional rulers before church leaders, and we have notified them and they were ready to receive our in-coming Vice President. The meeting was to pay homage and intimate them of what the in-coming Muhammadu Buhari’s government has in stock for Nigerians, irrespective of religion, ethnicity, region or political interests. “To our surprise, we received a message that the governor had stopped the meeting and directed them to return to their domains. The monarchs complied with the warning, aborted the meeting and proceeded to their palaces. “The same governor, three weeks back, stopped the President-elect from holding a campaign rally at Murtala Square, Kaduna. And he is now trying to embarrass his (Buhari) Vice President. “Are the people of Kaduna State and their traditional rulers slaves to the governor? It is quite unfortunate that Kaduna State is now under an individual, who is above the law and ruling with impunity.” SEE MORE NEWS ABOUT IT HERE |
