But Oga Abubakar, u were formally in PDP

A presidential aspirant of the All Progressive Congress, APC,
Atiku Abubakar, has said President Goodluck Jonathan’s
poor leadership was due to a lack of experience.
He said Mr. Jonathan was not qualified to lead Nigeria as a
president.
The former vice president was addressing delegates of the
APC primaries in Jos on Tuesday at his residence.
He said Mr. Jonathan was forced into office and did not
willingly contest the 2011 elections.
Mr. Abubakar said Mr. Jonathan had fallen short of ideas
to govern Nigeria, considering the current security
situation.
“Today, we are suffering all forms of issues as a country,
because we have someone on board, who was not qualified
to vie for the presidency, that is why he is doing what he
is doing, because he did not seek for the position he is
occupying,” Mr. Abubakar said.
He said he was contesting the forthcoming elections to
correct the wrongs in Nigeria.
“Of all those contesting the 2015 presidential election in
Nigeria, I am the most qualified,” he said. “I served Nigeria
eight years as vice president in a democratic government;
who among them has done such, and I am the most
suitable. But I am not desperate. If I was desperate I
should have supported (Olusegun) Obasanjo’s third time
plan, but I rejected the idea, that was why the third term
ambition could not succeed. If I did, all those in
government today, where would they have been?
“Apart from this, I am one of those who fought tooth and
nail for the return of democratic governance in Nigeria.
Some persons lost their lives in the process. I rejected
working in the military era. They offered me various
appointments, but I turned them down.”
Mr. Abubakar appealed to APC members nationwide to
support any APC candidate that would clinch the ticket of
the party’s presidential flag bearer to contest with the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Speaking on governance in Plateau state, the APC
presidential aspirant called on the Plateau electorate to
change the fortune of the state by voting out PDP.
The event was brief as the APC Presidential aspirant
revealed he was rushing to Abuja to be screened on
Tuesday.

Many persons are feared killed in Maiduguri, the Borno
State capital, Monday after two explosions went off at the
Maiduguri main market, where two suicide bombers last
week detonated deadly explosives, killing themselves and
several other people.
The explosions sounded almost one after the other at about
11:20 am.
A witness, Abba Ibrahim, who works as a security guard at
a government hospital near the market, told journalists
that the thunderous blasts caused several traders to
scamper to safety.
“As it is now, people are running for dear lives, so one
cannot confirm to you the extent of damage, but the two
blasts we just heard were too loud that it could cause more
damage than the ones of last week,” he said.
A trader, Dauda Bala, who spoke with journalists on phone
said, “The security and other aid workers are trying to
evacuate the dead and injured persons from the scene of
the explosion…I can’t say how many were killed or injured
but I have seen very many victims dripping with blood,
others with parts of their bodies dismembered by the
blasts”.
Another witness at the market, who gave his name as
Mallam Bashir, said the explosions were caused by two
suspected female suicide bombers.
“The explosions occurred at the area where fowls are being
sold inside the market, very close to the First Bank branch.
Those close enough to the place said it was two girls that
came into the market with the bomb,” said Mr. Bashir, a
used cloth vendor.
The spokesperson of the Borno State Command of the
Nigeria Police, Gideon Jubrin, confirmed the incident but
said details of the incidents were still sketchy.
“Of course we heard the explosions somewhere in town
but it will be too early now to say what actually happened
and what damage was caused by the explosion until much
later,” he said.

Willie Obiano, do so for ANSU

Commenting my reserve

Pope Francis prayed on Saturday on the second day of his visit to Turkey alongside a senior
Islamic cleric in Istanbul’s blue mosque.
The blue mosque, known officially as the Sultanahmet Mosque, opened in 1616 and is the most
famous in Turkey.
Its popular name was a reference to the fine blue Iznik tiles in its main prayer room.
The Vatican City spokesperson described it as a gesture of inter-religious harmony and a joint
“moment of silent adoration” of God.
Pope Francis took off his shoes as he entered the huge mosque before bowing his head in prayer
for several minutes, facing Mecca and standing next to Istanbul’s Grand Mufti Rahmi Yaran.
A similar act by his predecessor Pope Benedict in 2006 drew criticism from conservative Catholics
and some Muslims.
Halil Cil, 24, a hospital worker from Istanbul, said there was need to show respect for each other’s
beliefs.
He said God willing the pope’s visit would help in this respect.
“We want to practice our religion in peace, as we want people to understand Islam,” he said.
“More so we don’t want war. Islam is a religion of peace.
Hundreds of people, many of them tourists, watched from behind police barriers as the pope then
walked to the nearby Aya Sofya museum, once the Christian church Hagia Sophia.
A group of school children waving Turkish and Vatican flags chanted “Long live Pope Francis” in
Italian as the Muslim call to prayer rang out across the Sultanahmet square, the heart of Istanbul’s
historic quarter.
Pope would later in the day, celebrate Mass at the Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Spirit and then
meet the leader of the Orthodox Church, Bartholomew.
Discussions at Bartholomew are expected to focus on healing the schism in the Christian Church in
1054 that divided Rome and Constantinople.
Islamic State insurgents have captured swathes of neighbouring Syria and Iraq, persecuting and
killing Shi’ite Muslims, Christians and others who do not share their ultra-radical brand of Sunni
Islam.

President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed regrets at his
inability to have a South West politician as Speaker of the
House of Representatives in 2011.
Speaking on Friday at the Yoruba Unity Summit themed:
‘National Development: Wither the Yoruba,’at the Obafemi
Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Mr. Jonathan attributed his
failure to the selfishness of some Yoruba leaders.
In 2011, Aminu Tambuwal, who is from the Northwest, had
defeated Mulikat Akande, a Yoruba from the South West, to
emerge the House Speaker.
President Jonathan said he is still suffering from that
decision by the Lower House.
“One of the problems I faced in the National Assembly is
that I felt the right thing should be done because our
party, the PDP, has a formula,” said Mr. Jonathan, who was
the special guest of honour at the event.
“We have six geo-political zones in the country and when
the President emerges from one of the geo-political zones,
the Vice-President emerges from another geo-political zone,
the rest core offices, the Senate President, the Speaker,
Secretary to Federal Government, the chairman of the
party must come from different geo-political zones.
“The idea is that, whenever we are distributing board
positions and some of these appointments, whenever we
are appointing ministers, all these people sit to take
decisions. In that case we want all the geo-political zones
to be in the inner caucus that take critical decisions.
“The last time, it was difficult for me because I insisted
that the Southwest must get the Speaker. Of course, I
couldn’t go through with it because some of us within the
Southwest didn’t want it, based on some personal reasons.
I am still suffering from that till today.”
President Jonathan said that this time around, the party
would work collectively to ensure that the South West gets
whatever is zoned to them.
“People should not rob it from us.”
Mr. Jonathan said that the South-West play a huge role in
Nigeria’s economy, noting that Lagos and Ogun States alone
control 55 percent of the economy.
He added that the contribution of the two states is a reason
he is committed to providing them with infrastructure such
as electricity to help boost the economy.
“With unity, we can go to the moon. The Yoruba will not
be left behind,” he added.
The President also said that there are some
recommendations from the just-concluded national
conference he would not implement immediately to avoid
desperate politicians who are “even ready to kill” from
giving it a partisan colouration.
In his speech, Ayo Fayose, the Ekiti State governor, advised
Mr. Jonathan to always ignore the criticisms of former
President Olusegun Obasanjo, adding that the retired Army
General will never support his re-election bid.
“You know it more than you know me. He will never want
a man with an independent mind. Mr. President, you have
refused to tread the path of unconstitutionality,” Mr.
Fayose said.
“You have refused to level Borno and other states like he
levelled Odi. You have taken your time to respect human
lives by not committing crimes against humanity. He won’t
like that.
“And, Your Excellency, the more you try to curry (favour
of) Obasanjo, the more he will continue to despise you.
“If you continue to curry him, we are not going to curry
him. He doesn’t like people that give him respect. I plead
with Your Excellency. Your second term has been
concluded in heaven. Fear not.”
The Ekiti governor challenged Mr. Obasanjo to explain the
N50 million shared during the third term agenda, adding
that he lacked the moral authority to speak against
corruption.
“I earned less than N300, 000 as governor of Ekiti State
during my first coming. Your Excellency, the donation of
N10 million to Obasanjo Library, what do you call that?
That is corruption,” Mr. Fayose said.
“Go and look for the Code of Conduct, the forms filled by
President Obasanjo and his wealth today. We knew when
he came back from prison. We knew the situation, we
knew his wealth when he came out.
“If you don’t speak each time Obasanjo speaks in the
papers, we must reply him. When people talk and we are
addressing you here, that is not the issue. If he talks again,
we will give him an answer.
“You are not supposed to reply him. You are a complete
gentlemen. Decorum is part of business. We are telling you
again, the moment he says the next one, we will engage
him. This is not a country where after serving your own
tenure, what you cannot take, you are giving it to others.”

Students of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, on
Saturday openly expressed their frustration over recent
unrests in federal universities by jeering President
Goodluck Jonathan, who was a guest at the institution
Friday.
Mr. Jonathan, and some state and federal officials,
including Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose, were in the
university to attend the Yoruba Unity Summit, organised by
the Committee for Yoruba Unity, where he was endorsed
for re-election in 2015.
The meeting also had in attendance the Ooni of Ife,
Okunade Sijuade, among other traditional rulers.
But before the meeting ended, placard-wielding students
gathered at the Amphi theatre/Oduduwa Hall area of the
institution where the meeting was holding, chanting
solidarity songs.
The students said they were angry over the recent tuition
increase, rot in the education sector and attack by security
operatives on protesting students of the University of Jos.
The students also halted the president’s convoy for a few
minutes, by barricading the path of his motorcade before
the president boarded a chopper.
The students also booed Mr. Fayose, the Ekiti State
governor.
“Fayose got perhaps the biggest embarrassment of his life
today. He walked confidently to Ife students expecting to be
applauded. I can’t yet forget the look of shock on his face
as shouts of Ole! Ole! (Thief! Thief!) rented the air,” said
Hassan Taiwo, education right activist, who participated in
the protest.
Some of placards brandished by the students read “Don’t
sell education like you sold electricity”, “We condemn Jos
killing of students”, ”We demand reversal of 2014 fee
hike”.
A female student said she and her colleagues joined the
protest because “the president’s coming coincided with a
moment we are facing challenges in terms of learning
facilities in the laboratories and classes.
“In our Geography lab, we don’t have anything except
diagrams and furniture, if Ife is like this, what happens to
other schools?”
However, in a telephone interview, the president of OAU
Students’ Union, Ibikunle Isaac, told PREMIUM TIMES that
Mr. Jonathan was not rejected or embarrassed by his
colleagues but that they only peacefully registered their
grievances over fee raise.
“The leadership of the Union submitted protest letter over
the fee increment to the president and he committed
himself to seeing to the issue, while our students were
gyrating on campus,” he said.
But another student disagreed with the SUG president.
“Of course it was a peaceful display against President
Jonathan and his people, but we really embarrassed and
booed them because of their insensitivity to various
problems Nigeria is facing, as shown by this shameful
endorsement from the so-called Yoruba leaders,” the
student said.
“Don’t mind our Union president. It is understandable.
What he called gyration was actually choruses of insults
and how we booed Jonathan and his people,” he added.
