http://dailypost.ng/2019/02/15/breaking-inec-speaks-postponement-saturdays-presidential-national-assembly-elections/ The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has debunked reports that the body was planning to postpone Saturday’s elections. Presidential and National Assembly elections are scheduled to hold in few hours. National Commissioner for Voter Education and Publicity at INEC, Mr. Festus Okoye, told DAILY POST Friday night that Nigerians should ignore the rumours. His words: “If stories are flying about, allow the stories to fly. What they are reporting is not true.” Asked to respond to information that INEC commissioners were in a meeting, Okoye said: “Yes we are in a meeting but we have not taken such decision. “This is election period and as commissioners, we meet every time”. Meanwhile, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, said his camp had foiled a plan to rig the polls in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari. However, the recent development of INEC offices being set ablaze in Abia, Anambra, and Plateau states by ‘mysterious fire’, where thousands of electoral materials were burnt, could be major threat to the election. Also, earlier on Friday, the commission in Niger State announced that elections for the senatorial positions of Niger East and Niger North may not hold on Saturday as the ballot papers meant for the zone were missing. |
bedfordng:What's the solution if you could not get the pin ? |
ProWalker:Needless. Even if they endorse Atiku, BUHARI will still win. |
Baba lo leshe Buhari lo mashe |
Nice 1 |
Realdeals:You are wrong. The contractor can handled more than you think. It is only divided due to funding problem. |

History will not be fair if we allow the misleading thread on front page about the construction of Lagos Ibadan Railway. While "AutoReport.Ng" might be doing so unintentionally, there is still need to put the record straight. Currently, I believe there is not a single nairalander that follow-up infrastructural development threads like I and "Blue.3k." Especially when it comes to railway and transportation related threads. For every new update on Lagos-Ibadan railway, I got the pictures as well as the video(s) first while many others are still searching. Now back to the matter: AutoReport.NG claimed that Lagos-Ibadan railway starts with the administration of President Good luck Jonathan. https://www.nairaland.com/5006756/fact-check-started-lagos-ibadan Now the word Start might be very complex but we will decode it. Start what exactly? There is a clear difference between starting a project practically and starting a project theoretically on paper. The Lagos-ibadan railway is only a segment of the larger Lagos - Kano Standard Guage Rail, which is divided into four segments. a. Lagos-Ibadan. b. Ibadan-Abuja. c. Abuja-Kaduna. d. Finally kaduna-kano. However it was later redesigned to accommodate other state capitals like Ado Ekiti, Minna, Akure etc. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagos–Kano_Standard_Gauge_Railway Idea & Construction Of The Project On Paper: In 2006, the Nigerian government awarded a $8.3 billion contract to the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation to construct a standard gauge railway from Lagos to Kano. The idea of the project starts during the administration of President Obasanjo. The word awarded doesn't mean you have started the work. It's just a mere written commitment and not the work. That is why despite Obasanjo awarding the project, not a single stone or brick was put on ground. Due to lack of funding, the rail project was divided into 4 segments. Abuja–Kaduna Segments ($876 million) : The construction of this segment starts with President Good luck Jonathan in 2011 and completed by President Buhari in 2016. It is all clear President Jonathan starts the construction of Abuja - Kaduna railway segment of Lagos - Kano rail. And it was completed by President Buhari. Lagos–Ibadan Segment 1. Who Awarded The Contract On Paper? It was awarded by President Obasanjo in 2006 on paper and re-awarded by President Jonathan in 2012 on paper. And then renegotiated by President Buhari Administration. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/07/fg-to-award-lagos-ibadan-rail-contract-soon-—jonathan/ 2. Who Paid For The Contract? I watched the vice presidential candidate of a party lying on national television that "the Administration of Goodluck pay for the rail project before leaving office." That is not only false but unbecoming of someone that once occupied the seat of power. The first and full counterpart funding of Lagos Ibadan Railway was released by the Administration of Muhammad Buhari after a series of negotiation between China & Nigeria. (The Nigerian Team includes: H.E Rotimi Amaechi, Hon. Kemi Adeosun, among others) Buhari Released N72BN Full Counter Part Funding For Lagos-Ibadan Railway (Jan 2017) https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/01/fg-releases-n72bn-full-counterpart-funding-lagos-ibadan-rail/ 3. Who Start / Flag Off The Practical Construction Of Lagos-Ibadan Railway? The ground breaking which marks the initial commencement of construction works for the Lagos-ibadan railway was performed by H.E the acting president Prof Yemi Osinbajo in March 2017 https://www.legit.ng/amp/1092288-osinbajo-storms-lagos-flag-lagos-ibadan-rail-line-project.html https://lagosstate.gov.ng/blog/2017/03/07/acting-president-osinbajo-gov-ambode-at-ground-breaking-ceremony-of-lagos-ibadan-railway-project-at-nigerian-railway-corporation-compound-ebute-metta-lagos/ https://www.sunnewsonline.com/excitement-anxiety-as-work-begins-on-lagos-ibadan-rail-project/amp/ If awarding of contract on paper means you have start the project then for every railway built by another administration, we can say Buhari started it. How? Connect rail to 36 state capitals, Buhari directs https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/10/connect-rail-36-state-capitals-buhari-directs/ For The Records 1. The idea of Lagos Kano rail become more pronounced during the time of Obasanjo in 2016. 2. The Abuja - Kaduna segment was started by Goodluck administration in 2012 and Completed by the Buhari administration in 2016. 3. The Lagos Ibadan segment started with Buhari administration & it is already nearing completion. |
TonyeBarcanista:You ever visit Kano self. There are many places to do rally. There is also Sabon Gari stadium. Filin sukuwa also. That's what he realized. He cannot shut down all the 3 in the name of renovation. By the way BUHARI will defeat Atiku anyday. |
dfrost:Nobi fight na just the truth. I myself am a victim. |
Rilwayne001:It's heartbreaking but even before I read the content of the thread I Know it must be Yoruba. Their discipline nobi here. |

lalasticlala:So you respond to questions like this ![]() |
emmasege:No region like middle belt. It's still Northern Nigeria. Hence the reason he said 19 northern States. |

abduljabbar4:After Buhari it will be Asiwaju or Osinbajo Then back to north after 8 years. |
abduljabbar4:Allow him na hez busy talking of road. Edon tey we Kano have good road. The project being done in the south by FG is far greater than what's obtainable here. What we have in the north are paper projects. Lagos Kano rail on paper Maiduguri PH rail on paper Kano Daura on paper That of South Warri Itake Ajaokuta rail test run ongoing Lagoe ibadan rail to start begin free ride on Wednesday Lagos Ibadan express on going Let me educate him small what are the Achievements down here. 1. Security 2. Agriculture 3. Northest have repay their CBN agric loan about 1. Something billion |
BigBashiru:You're not making any point. The people of Kano love Buhari with or without dualized road. Even the road you're talking about is far from completion. It's Just reaching wudil local government now. Kano projects are 95% state government work. You can take that anywhere. |
Don't know if I should post this here. The domain below is for sale, you can contact me.

Tetehjewels:Not commissioning but spud-in. Commencement of the Drilling. |
Dele Momodu doesn't know what's the song is saying. It's insulting OBJ |
Binikingdowm: DonDemu:Even at that, he made a mockery of himself because it was executed by a northerner in the person Minister Of Aviation Hadi Sirika. |
No need to discuss, its the Federal Government under the able leadership of Minister of Aviation HADI SIRIKA and By Extention Rotimi Ameachi and with further extention to Muhammadu Buhari President & Commander in Cheif. |

The Apc campaign train will be moving to Nigeria's largest State as well as second most substantial metropolitan/City domain tomorrow for 2019 general election campaigns. Buhari is also expected to official inaugurate gigantic projects executed by the administration of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje. Buhari will then move to Jigawa after passing the night in Kano.
