Onyinyechi, an indigene of Anambra State met
Akunne Abuchi for the first time in 2012 at Romeo
and Juliet, a popular eatery located close to the
secretariat of Ejigbo Local Council Development
Area. Following that initial contact, their
relationship waxed stronger and culminated in
their wedding later that year.

Meanwhile, Chief Returning Officer for Kaduna State gubernatorial election, Professor Jafar Kaura has announced a short break around 12noon, as the results from the remaining 8 LGAs are being awaited.
As the remaining results are being awaited, Kaduna is breathless, with most of the streets deserted in anticipation of the wild, “violent” jubilation that visited the victory of Gen. Mohammadu Buhari, as President-Elect under theAPC penultimate week. Scores were killed in self-caused accidents and many more secured injuries in many northern areas of the state from weird jubilation over the victory.
But, it would seem as if government is determined to reduced that kind of jubilation, as ferocious looking, armed police and military personnel were seen manning many of the likely hot areas of Kaduna town.

The Plateau State Police Command on Saturday
confirmed the killing of a 23-year-old man during
the governorship and house of assembly elections
in Jos, identified simply as Salim. “One Salim was
shot dead by unknown security operatives during
the elections.
“We are not sure of further details but we shall try
to find out the circumstances and get back to
you,” Mr Emmanuel Abu, Spokesman of the
command, told the pressmen.
Sources told newsmen that Salim ran into the
voting arena at the Ali Kazaure Polling Unit,
grabbed the ballot box and attempted to run
away with it.
The source said that security operatives keeping
vigil at the polling unit, ran after Salim, arrested
him and hurled him into their security vehicle, a
Toyota Hilux.
However, as they made to move the vehicle,
Salim jumped out and started running. The
security operatives were said to have ran after
Salim and shot him dead.

Please help me tell him. They're now complaining because it isn't favoring them. And how do they know the boy is there to vote for Apc?

Gov. Jonah Jang of Plateau has restated his
opposition to the use of the card reader machines
as the the device, again, failed to capture his
finger prints as it did during the presidential
elections.
The governor was later cleared manually, after six
trials that yielded no positive result.
The visibly disappointed Governor repeated his
advice to INEC to halt the use of the machine, to
“minimize the disenfranchisement of voters over
no fault of theirs.
“You can see that the card reader again failed to
capture my fingers. “My suggestion to INEC is to
drop the use of the card reader and return to the
old style of voting since these machines are not
working well.”
Jang also alleged that some names had been
removed from the voter’s register, claiming
that people who voted two weeks ago did not find
their names on the register. He however,
expressed optimism that his party, the PDP,
would “do very well’’ in the elections, and urged
the people to turn out en mass to vote.
Jang rejected suggestions that there was voter
apathy in the state, pointing out that people were
still being accredited in many polling units.
Meanwhile, Malam Nasiru El-Rufai, the All
Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship
candidate in Kaduna State has applauded INEC
for early arrival of election materials and officials
to polling units.
El-Rufai gave the commendation in an interview
with journalists after he was accredited at Polling
Unit 024, Ungwan Sarki, Kaduna. “I am impressed
with the turn out this time around, particularly
with election materials, I must commend INEC,
there is an improvement over the Presidential
election.”
He attributed reports of low turn out of people in
some parts of the state to the alleged threat by a
political party to use thugs to disrupt the
election. El-Rufai urged all registered voters in the
state to come out en mass and exercise their
civic duties. The APC governorship candidate
prayed that the polls would be conducted
peacefully and successfully nationwide.

were true but blamed the devil for luring him into
crime.
