From their maturity, tolerance, performances, utterances and actions, I think these governors can adequately perform the responsibilities of the president if opportunity presents itself:

1. Godswill Akpabio

2. Owelle Rochas Okorocha

3. Sule Lamido

4. Babatunde Raji Fashola

5. Mohammed Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso

Any contrary opinion?

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has defended the academic qualification of its presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, citing new legal details after the Nigerian Army denied it has copies of Mr. Buhari’s certificates as he earlier claimed.

The Constitution requires a minimum of secondary school certificate or its equivalent for election to the office of the president.

But amid intense debate over Mr. Buhari’s academic suitability, the APC said in any consideration, the former military leader remains very qualified for the election.
The party quoted part IV, Section 318 of the Constitution which interprets “School Certificate level or its equivalent” as follows:

(a) A Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent, Grade II Teacher’s Certificate, the City and GuildsCertificate; or
(b) Education up to Secondary School Certificate Level; or
(c) Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent and –
(i) service in the public or private sector in the Federation in any capacity acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for a minimum of ten years, and
(ii) attendance at courses and training in such institutionsas may be acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for periods totalling up to a minimum of oneyear, and
(iii) The ability to read, write, understand and communicate in the English language to the satisfaction of the Independent National Electoral Commission, and
(d) Any other qualification acceptable by the Independent National Electoral Commission;

The Army had earlier admitted having copies of Mr. Buhari’s certificates. But on Tuesday, the spokesperson for the Army, Olajide Laleye, reversed that position.

Mr. Laleye also said there were no records that the army in the 1960s verified Mr. Buhari’s claim to have attained a Senior Secondary Certificate.

In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, APC accused the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and President Goodluck Jonathan, of attempting to compromise the army, describing the move as “a dangerous game” thatcoulddestroy the military.

The party urged the military, as a symbol of national unity, to beware of those who may be seeking to use it to achieve selfish and divisive ends.

It said the statement credited to Mr. Laleye, a Brigadier General, that the army is notin possession of Mr. Buhari’s certificates, is in direct conflict with what he said on January 4 on the same issue.

”In an interview with the Punch on Jan. 4th 2015, Brig.-Gen. Olaleye said: ‘Every serving and retired Army officer has at least a copy of his certificates and credentials kept in the Nigerian Army while that same serving and retired officer has copies of those same certificates and credentials’.
”Is Brig.-Gen. Olaleye now saying thathe did not make that statement? If he did, what has happened between then and now to make him to recant? It will be interesting to know what has transpired between then and now,” APC said.
But more worrisome, the party said, is the statementcredited toMr. Laleye that there was no evidence that the certificates of all those who joined the army inthe early 1960s were verified by the selection board.
”Is he now saying that all those who were commissioned into the officer cadres in the 1960s did not have their certificates verified? Does this not confirm what we said that in trying to destroy Gen. Buhari, the PDP and the Jonathan Administration will end up destroying the army as an institution? Or is it only Gen. Buhari that was commissioned into the army in the 1960s,” itsaid.

The party also quoted Mr. Buhari as saying in an affidavit on 24/11/2014 that ”All my academic qualifications documents as filled in my presidential form, President APC/001/2015 are currently with the Secretary Military Board as at the time of this affidavit.”
”Those who are behind the latest controversy should now tell Nigerians what happened to Gen. Buhari’s certificates between the time of his affidavit and now,” itsaid.
The party said since Mr. Laleye has now confirmed that Mr. Buhari indeed applied to join the Army from form six, that the principal of the school he attended even attested to his suitability, and that the form he filled contained his Secondary School Certificate results, there is no scintilla of doubt about his qualification to run for president as stipulated by the Constitution.
”However, we know that the PDP and the Jonathan Administration have constituted themselves into a court of law and will like nothing more than the disqualification of our candidate so they will face no challenge in next month’s election. This is wishful thinking,” it said.
On the contradictions in the statements credited to the Army spokesman, the party said: ”It is true that our once globally-respected military has now been made comatose by the PDP-led Federal Government, but we believe things have not reached the level where the same military will be engaging in actions that amount to self-destruction, justto satisfy some political interests.

”We believe things have not reached a levelwhere we, as a nation, will now be giving the impression that a man who rose to become a Major-General in the Nigerian Army does not have requisite qualifications?

”What really is happening in our country if some politicians have now decided to engage in an action that will amount to dragging the military into politics, dividing an institution that is a symbol of national unity, trivializing the service of those who fought to keep Nigeria one and ridiculing the same country itis supposed tobe ruling?

”We have said it before and will like to repeat: Enough is enough about this distraction orchestrated by the PDP and the Jonathan Administration whose electioneering campaign for next month’s polls has suffered a train

wreck,” the party said.

mundus:
I am Igbo and a Christian. I support Buhari not beacuse I think he's the Messiah but because I see no possibility of GEJ getting better in the next 4 years. I am heading to Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri now for the campaign rally of GMB and Rochas.

I did not receive a damn from anybody and I will NEVER collect. I am going there just to show my support to these men.

I will be bringing you live updates.

Maybe Amaechi need to be told that Jonathan Is not the President of Bayelsa but the President of Nigeria. Now if the President is the one to provide all the basic amenities and infrastructures in Bayelsa, why then do we have a governor. Nigerians need to be careful of people like Amaechi, who will say or do anything to score cheap political points. Amaechi has demonstrated that he lacks discipline and self restraint who will equally do or say anything to seen as courageous and bold.

Rivers State Governor and Director General of the presidential campaign committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rotimi Amaechi, on Thursday in Yenagoa, lashed out at President Goodluck Jonathan, insisting that he had failed the people of the state.

Amaechi at the rally held in the Samson Siasia Sports Complex, Yenagoa, witnessed by a large crowd of Bayelsans from all works of life, stated that charity should ordinarily begin at home, hence the president should tell the people what he has done for the state in the last six years that he has been president of the country.


He lamented that even the president homestead, Otuoke, lacks power supply, he therefore asked: “If they say it is because the president is quarrelling with the Governor of Rivers State that is why he refused to develop Rivers; is he also quarrelling with Dickson? So, why has he not developed Bayelsa?”

Ameachi said in 2011, Jonathan was voted on brotherly platform, but in 2015, voting would be by merit, even as he indicted the Jonathan-led government of misappropriating state fund to enrich his cronies who are now flying private jets at the expense of developing the entire country.

He regretted that since Jonathan became president, nothing changed in Bayelsa and Rivers States, even as he noted that it could be understood that he has a cold war with the President, but asked if he (the president) is also quarrelling with the Bayelsa State Governor Seriake Dickson.

Earlier, former governor of Baylsa State, Chief Timipre Sylva, showed that he was still popular with the people when he was welcomed with a rousing roar by the people.

Although the who is who of Bayelsa State political leadership were visibly absent, the mammoth crowd of mostly youths and women who came to welcome the Muhammadu Buhari campaign train was unexpected given that Bayelsa is the home state of President Goodluck Jonathan.

In his speech, Sylva told the people that a good friend is better than a bad brother.
He reiterated that political leaders from the North have proven their friendship in the past and are therefore more worthy than a brother who has done nothing for his own people.

Sylva said Bayelsans are known to lead the way against oppression and inept leadership style displayed the PDP-led government at the centre, even as he noted that having traversed the six geopolitical zones of the country, no other person is more competent to lead Nigeria than Buhari.

The former governor who was presented the APC flag as the party’s candidate for Bayelsa East senatorial seat, urged the people of the state to vote rightly by voting Buhari as president because, he has all it takes to bring prosperity to their doorsteps.

Speaking later, the APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, reassured Nigerians that if voted into office, he would proffer solution to the nation’s security and economic challenges that have continued to retard the growth and development of the country.

This, he noted, is the bane of the nation’s growth, hence, this would be his priority when he takes office.

Buhari, who described Bayelsa as the cow that produces the milk, regretted that the state was yearning for development having been neglected by its own son, as situation that has resulted in the pollution of farmlands, source of water and other economic reserves; even as he assured that the pollution in the land would be cleared as soon as he assumes office as president of Nigeria.

The APC presidential candidate said further that under his leadership, agriculture would be revamped to provide jobs for the youths, as well
as food security, while capital would be provided for able-bodied young
men to enable them become entrepreneurs.

On power, he decried the corruption allegedly inherent in the system despite the
privatisation of the sector by the PDP-led government at the centre, noting that power is a key ingredient for industrialisation.


He posited that corruption would be dealt with, and that anyone who steals from the nation’s coffers would be made to return it, even as he enjoined Bayelsans not to allow PDP to rule a day longer in office.
