Yemi Osibanjo!!

Yeah that's true....

The significance of Muhammadu Buhari’s victory is underlined by the fact that this will be the first in the history of Nigeria’s electoral process when an incumbent president is defeated. It was no small feat that was achieved by some of the country’s most prominent political figures.


Asiwaju Bola Tinubu

The former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is considered a master political strategist who guided Buhari’s aspiration to a success at the party’s national convention last year.
Sai-Baba2Tinubu was able to ensure that not only did Buhari get the block vote of the Southwest, but also ensured that many states outside the region that did not have governors in the contest supported Buhari.
After the nomination convention, Tinubu together with likeminded party members was able to weave a formidable campaign machine that put Buhari to victory. Reflective of Tinubu’s imprint in the victory was the fact that Buhari in his last three runs never made an impression in the Southwest, a region he swept last weekend with victories in five of the six states.
Despite the lures and lashes from the opposition, Tinubu stood firm in an unwavering support for Buhari that proved crucial in achieving victory.


Governor Chibuike Amaechi

Governor Amaechi ably steered the Buhari campaign in such a way that brought the old candidate into reckoning in ways he never had been before. The governor’s input was there in the transformation of the general in his dressing and approach to campaign. The governor was in direct control of strategy and deployment of personnel at the campaign headquarters. He was also believed to be involved in the indirect talks with some major political players who helped to ensure the victory of the general at both the nomination convention and the general election.

Senator Bukola Saraki

Senator Bukola Saraki who served as governor of Kwara State before going to the Senate was also instrumental to the victory. His deployment of political and other resources not only helped in the general’s sweep of Kwara State, but also in forming bonds with other major political players in the country.

President Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is perceived another influential personality to Buhari’s ascendancy to Aso Rock. President Obasanjo’s behind the door counsel and patronage of Team Buhari was an open secret. He demonstrated so even in the days before the election was postponed last February when he went on an international circuit to launch his recently released book, My Watch.
He also met with market leaders in his Abeokuta office where he gave them counsel on how to vote.
However, the most strategic role President Obasanjo may have played is believed to have been in bringing international focus on Nigeria in such a way that put the defeated president in a cul de sac on allowing his subordinates to manipulate the results.

Atiku Abubakar

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar may not have been seen regularly on the podium pushing for Buhari, but he was a main backer in terms of resources. Once he lost the ticket to Buhari, Atiku pushed his structure including his savvy media team headed by Mallam Garba Shehu to Buhari’s use. The team proved to be a torn in the flesh of Candidate Goodluck Jonathan.

APC GOVERNORS

All the APC governors without exception backed the general. Though two of them, Al Makura in Nasarawa and Adams Oshiomhole in Edo were not able to deliver their states to Buhari, but the efforts they made was undeniable. Oshiomhole was especially a thorn in the flesh of Camp Jonathan in the last few days.

Jorussia:
This is a welcome development. It is best for the generality of lagosians for Opposition parties to win some legislative seat.

The question now is,can that happen in their own States,yet some of them will come online calling us names.

The All Progressives Congress has lost five House of Representatives seats to the Peoples Democratic Party and a seat to the Accord Party in Lagos.

Investigations by our correspondent showed that most of the reps lost in Igbo- dominated local government areas.

Sources in the APC said the love the people of the South-East have for President Goodluck Jonathan positively affected the PDP candidates, some of whom had not even been rigorously campaigning.

In Amuwo Odofin local government, which has a very high Igbo population, especially in areas like Kirikiri, Satellite Town and FESTAC, the PDP candidate, Oghene Egboh, who is from the Niger-Delta, defeated Mr. Ganiyu Olukolu of the APC.

In Ajeromi/Ifelodun, which is one of the most densely populated areas in Lagos State and is home to Ajegunle (another Igbo dominated area), the PDP candidate, Mrs. Rita Orji, who also hails from the South-East, defeated Taiwo Adenekan of the APC.

The story was the same in the Igbo-dominated Ojo LG, where the PDP candidate, Mr. Tajudeen Obasa, won the seat.

In Surulere federal constituency 2, which is home to Aguda and a few Igbo settlements, Mr. Tunji Soyinka of the PDP defeated Mr. Hakeem Bamgbala of the APC.

It was learnt that apart from the ‘Igbo’ factor, the incumbent rep, Mr. Aliyu Kazeem, had been in court with Bamgbala over the conduct of the primary.

It was learnt that the division within the party gave the PDP the opportunity to penetrate the community.

An APC leader in Surulere said, “We are still in shock. Haliyu Kazeem, who is the incumbent, lost the primary in December last year and refused to work with Bamgbala. He took Bamgbala to court and they are still slugging it out.

“If they had put things in order, we would not have lost. Bamgbala is a former chairman of Aguda Local Council Development Area and a good grass roots politician.”

In Mushin federal constituency 2, the APC candidate, Yemi Alli, lost to Dauda Kako-Aare of the Accord Party.

Kako-Aare, who is the incumbent, lost at the APC primary last December to Alli and defected to Accord.

In Oshodi/Isolo federal constituency 2, the incumbent, Mr. Akeem Munir, lost to Mr. Tony Nwoolu of the PDP.

Be patient and vigilant, Buhari tells Nigerians.

President Goodluck Jonathan observed a low-key Palm Sunday service at the Aso Rock Villa Chapel with very few worshippers.

Jonathan's wife, Patience and mother, Madam Eunice, were absent at the service; while those in attendance occupied only the first three roles on both sides.
Before now, the Chapel used to be filled beyond capacity whenever Jonathan was worshipping there.
Those who worshipped with the president included the chairman of the Federal Civil service Commission, Joan Ayo and the Executive Secretary of the National Christian Pilgrims Commission, John-Kennedy Opara.

‎The guest minister at the service Rev. William Okoye who spoke on the topic "Victory Rests with the Lord", asked the president to attribute his victory to God alone, if re-elected, adding that he must also review his past actions and learn from his (Jonathan's) past mistakes.

Okoye said though the president had done well in the past, he (Jonathan) must admit that he had made mistakes and should repackage his mistakes to "launch out in full force".
"If God gives us another opportunity, there are three things we must do. One, we must acknowledge God as our source of victory and helper. Two, review all you've done in the past, learn from past mistakes. You've done well, but you must admit you've made mistakes. Thirdly, repackage the mistakes you've made so that you can launch out in full force. Every leader in public office is in a position of trust. We must account for the position we've been given and do things right", he admonished.

According to the cleric, since Nigerians have played their part by voting, the rest is now in God's hands.
He also told the congregation that "It's God that puts people in authority and we've done all we've to do. We've to look to Him and I believe we're going to sing a new thing".

Okoye, who is the founding general overseer of the All Christians Fellowship Mission Abuja, said the president had done his best to move Nigeria forward, adding that those accusing him of poor performance were either being mischievous or economical with the truth.
The cleric said he was happy that Jonathan had recently said he was not desperate to serve. ‎
"Thank God we've a president who wants to serve and not engage in do-or-die politics. Some of us were here during the third term agenda and I kicked against it from this alter.‎ As a Villa chaplain under Obasanjo, ‎the third term agenda was not originally his idea‎, hence he rejected it when it was suggested. But those behind it repackaged and presented it to him and he bought it. When ‎he told me, I kicked against it, but before you knew it, he was side-lining me. And so, I was forced to use the pulpit to tell him God was not with him on this matter because the idea was not God's and that was why the idea failed.
"Thank God we've a president that says I want to serve, but I'm not desperate. So, it is not a question of do-or-die thing. ‎This election is not a do-or-die. If we lose, we'll go and use the experience to serve humanity. So, there is nothing to worry about. I know with what this government has done, if given opportunity in another four years, Nigeria would be better. ‎That's why we're not to be proud because God resists the proud".

In his remarks, ‎the chaplain of the Aso Villa, Venerable Obioma Onwuzurumba ‎expressed delight that the polls were conducted despite allegations that Jonathan wanted to hold on to power.
He said: "It was said the president won't allow elections to hold because he wanted to hold on to power, but it held. A friend of mind sent me a text that God has chosen who will govern before the foundation of the world and we just vote to authenticate that person.

Hello all,

I will be reporting live from Ibadan today..... you can also report what is happening in your polling units/wards...

let keep the update coming.....

The UN Secretary-General High Level Representative to Nigeria, Dr Mohammed Ibn Chambas, said the United Nations had provided $60m, about N1.2bn, to ensure the success of Nigeria’s 2015 general elections.

Chambas disclosed this at a press conference in Abuja on Friday.

He said the UN was interested in Nigeria’s elections because “the country is too important for the sub-region, the region and the world at large.”

Chambas explained that the UN had been involved in building institutions and capacity that were required for the elections.

Chambas said, “Several months even before this election, the UN deployed a Needs Assessment Mission and based on that needs assessment mission, certain areas were identified by INEC in particular.

“We then came up with a budget which amounted to almost $60m.

“This was mobilised for members-states and other international organisations and has been provided to Nigerian various institutions and organisations in the process of preparing towards this election.

“So that is the kind of ongoing work that the UN does throughout the period.

“And this has been the specific contributions that the UN has made and the UNDP managed this basket of funds that was collected.

“And I should say that one particular intervention that I am personally proud of is the creation of the National Peace Council which was an initiative out of the UN.

“To get a group of eminent personalities and respected citizens to come together and to lead the clarion call for peaceful, credible elections.

“So, it is out of this peace council that we have seen, for instance, the two leading candidates, Mr President and General Buhari re-affirming their commitment to the Abuja Accord.

“Which itself is a product of the work of the UN through the former Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, other prominent Nigerians such as Prof Gambari through his Savannah Institute, Bishop Matthew Kukah through the Kukah Centre.

“UNDP was very instrumental in working with them, in bringing on board other partners which culminated in the establishment of the National Peace Council.”
