Contrary to claims that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress [APC], is travelling to the United States for medical reasons, PREMIUM TIMES has obtained a correspondence indicating Mr. Buhari is only honouring an invitation by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies [CSIS]. Media reports had suggested some days ago that the APC candidate had become so sick that he was planning a medical trip abroad. Mr. Buhari responded by saying he was not sick but only had cold. But PREMIUM TIMES has now obtained a letter signed by the Director, African Programme of CSIS, Jennifer Cooke, inviting Mr. Buhari to the organisation’s headquarters in Washington DC “to give a major public address on Nigeria’s future as it stands on the edge of a pivotal national elections.” Ms. Cooke gave Mr. Buhari the liberty to choose a convenient date for the proposed lecture. “We propose to hold this event on a day of your choosing on either the week of January 5th or the week of January 26th, 2015 but will of course do our best to accommodate your schedule should you have other preferences.” Travelling at this time would mean Mr. Buhari opted for the week of January 26th. Ms. Cooke who said the event is expected to attract a large number of United State policymakers, academics, business leaders and members of the diaspora, also told Mr. Buhari that he would be expected to take part in a private off-the-record briefing with a small group of senior US government officials and U.S Congress. “The event would be on-the-record and given the importance of Nigeria’s elections would be certain to attract a large audience of U.S. policymakers, academics, business leaders, and members of the diaspora. In addition, we invite you to take part in a private, off-the-record briefing with a small group of senior officials from the U.S. government and U.S. Congress. This will be an excellent opportunity to develop contacts and articulate your key messages to an influential audience of foreign policy decision-makers.” “The CSIS Africa Program has long been engaged in research and analysis on the African continent, and Nigeria specifically. For the past year, we have hosted a conference series analyzing various dimensions of Nigeria’s forthcoming elections and their implications for peace, security, and prosperity in Africa’s most important country. These conferences have provided a platform for Nigerian statesmen to interact directly with Washington policymakers and we wanted to extend this opportunity to you. We hope that your schedule permits your participation and look forward to receiving a positive reply.” Please find attached document: Buhari CSIS letter of invitation below http://media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2015/01/Buhari-CSIS-letter-of-invitation.pdf

President Goodluck Jonathan has rejected explanations by the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, over concerns about his qualification.http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/175241-buharis-qualification-jonathan-rejects-apc-candidates-explanation-demands-certificate.html |
During this weekend’s SaharaTV broadcast, which kicked off the platform's 2015 Nigerian presidential election coverage, many of the most critical discussions were centered around not just the politics leading up to the contest, but the incessant Boko Haram militancy in the northern part of the country, a violence that has seemingly intensified in recent weeks.

Taking a journey into the Abia State governorship election campaigns, Nnanna Eze reckons that the Abia electorate appears wiser now Aba ma Ndi-Aba is a popular expression among residents of Aba, Abia State commercial nerve centre and those familiar with developments in the city. The expression, which literally means “Aba knows its own people”, comes handy on purpose, often in appreciating virtues and or denouncing perceived vices. It is a clarion call of sort. In the past, when certain individuals were seen to have acted in situations that were considered noble by residents of the city, they were celebrated and adopted as worthy members of the entity. They needed not be residents of the commercial city. What mattered most was that they were seen to have put up actions that had impacted positively on the people. It was in this respect that late Igbo icon, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, remained a hero to Aba indigenes even in death. The people, not given to sycophancy or forgetting favours, regularly recall how the Biafran leader literally put his life on the line in defence of his kinsmen. Little wonder that when he died, Aba residents insisted on his lying in state in Aba Township Stadium, where they paid him last respect. Governor of old Imo State, late Dr. Sam Mbakwe, was equally revered by inhabitants of the commercial city for his glorious role in fighting for the Igbo man before, during and after the civil war. Beside his frontal attack on the Ndiegoro flood menace, which earned him the sobriquet “weeping governor”, his people-oriented governance remains a sacrifice that Aba residents do not forget in a hurry. Similar appreciation of favour was extended to the Second Republic politician, Adeniran Ogunsanya, chairman of the defunct Nigeria Peoples Party (NPP), for identifying with the Igbo at their hour of need. At his death, in fact, not only were the markets in the commercial city shut, busses were chartered for traders and workers to go to Lagos to pay him last respect. It is on such occasions that the Aba ma ndi-Aba mantra would be appreciated. There were also instances where those perceived to have worked against the interest of the city and Igbo land in general, were paid in what was considered their own coin. The expression was in such instances echoed in derision. Yoruba leader and Second Republic presidential candidate of Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN), Obafemi Awolowo, was for example booed in Aba, during his campaign over what the people considered his unpatriotic role in championing economic blockade of Igbo land during the civil war. Similarly, Abia State governor, Theodore Orji was pelted with sachet water during Ojukwu’s lying-in-state in Aba Stadium on account of the people’s allegation that his administration had neglected the city in areas of social infrastructure. On the other hand, Rochas Okorocha, Imo State governor, who was there was openly hailed, due largely to his people-oriented engagements before going for elective office. That was the other side of Aba ma ndi-Aba philosophy. It is on this ground that the twin incidents in the city in the dying days of last month would be appreciated. On one hand, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, had a taste of the resentment pervading the state, when angry residents in Aba revolted, booed and pelted him as well as his associates with sachet water. Ikpeazu entered into rough waters with Aba residents at the climax of the annual Half Marathon organised by a local radio station, at Enyimba Stadium in Aba, when some PDP supporters tried to hoist his banner. This vehement opposition by the crowd, it was gathered, stalled the hoisting of Ikpeazu’s banner. The attack on Ikpeazu was not without cause. As a senior official in Abia State Environmental Sanitation Agency, the performance profile of the agency was rated below average. With major roads and streets in the city virtually taken over by refuse, his aspiration for the governorship is being seen by the people as adding insult to the neglect of the city. The processes leading to his emergence as PDP candidate has also not been lost on the people. In fact, for the politically active average Aba resident, Ikpeazu is nothing but a stooge being foisted on the state by the departing administration to cover its tracks. There is also the credibility problem on the government that is seen to be throwing him up. Part of the grouse against it is non-payment of staff salaries. Teachers recently embarked on indefinite strike to force the government to pay backlog of salaries as well as outstanding leave allowances said to be up to seven months . Their counterparts in Abia State Polytechnic are equally gearing up to start their own strike as they are being owed an upward of six to seven months’ salary arrears. Workers in other establishments also owed salaries and allowances are also threatening to join the action. While the impasse lasts, stakeholders fear that the action would worsen the already deplorable state of education in the state. In fact, a socio-political pressure group in the state, Abia Political Vanguard (APV) has decried the worsening state of workers’ welfare in the state, accusing Governor Theodore Orji-led administration of failing in the discharge of its responsibilities. The group, in a statement by its President, Comrade Godson Umahi and Secretary, Uche Orjiakor, faulted the trend, stressing that it is detrimental to development in the state. It is the aggregation of these policy failures that are weighing heavily on Ikpeazu. The PDP candidate has incidentally not demonstrated any capacity to steer the state on the path of development, if elected. The other time, for example, he was quoted to have blamed the poor state of Abia revenue on the oil firms operating in the state not having their headquarters there. What readily came to the mind of analysts on account of that obvious indiscretion was that he lacked the mental capacity to fix Abia aside the lazy reliance on the monthly revenue allocation from Abuja. For Aba residents that are used to self-sufficiency and “I can do it” attitude, a man with such dependency culture would be ill-suited to pilot the affairs of the state. This is in contrast to the rousing reception accorded Dr. Alex Otti, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) governorship candidate, when he visited Ariaria International Market, on Monday, December 22. Otti had at the occasion, assured his hosts that the days of infrastructure decay and utter neglect of Aba, Abia State commercial nerve centre will soon be over. He also pledged provision of conducive environment for businesses and abolition of multiple taxation which is currently the order of the day. His heroic reception came on the heels of a recent endorsement of him by a coalition of stakeholders of the Market and Ward 9 Aba North Local Government Area, at his Umuru, Isiala Ngwa South Local Government country home. The Ariaria Market group, which paid solidarity visit to Otti, stressed that its decision to back him was based on conviction that he would provide good leadership and address development challenges in Abia if elected. The expectation from the traders on the APGA candidate was based on his antecedents of selfless service to the people. They recalled, for example, that Otti as the Group Managing Director of Diamond Bank, had been involved in the financing of the “141 Megawatts Geometric Power Plant in Aba” in addition to his passionate interest in the development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that Aba has immensely benefited from. This is the type of gesture that the Aba residents hardly forget. On occasion as this, they come handy in appreciating and rewarding the person. This is especially as the APGA standard bearer has further assured them of reinventing the city that has suffered neglect in the hands of the current administration. Ironically, the deluge of endorsements of Otti is not going down well with the PDP in the state. Obviously rattled that it is losing at all fronts, the party has resorted to underhand activities to cow the APGA candidate. Of late, for instance, there has been the ugly tendency of willful vandalism and in some cases, total destruction of billboards and campaign posters of Otti, by suspected agents and foot soldiers of PDP in the state. The pattern of the unprincipled action gives vent to the suspicion that the party and agents of the government are behind it. This becomes convincing when even at places where Otti’s billboards share the facilities with those of Ikpeazu, those of the APGA candidate are either vandalised or totally destroyed. Incidentally, the Abia electorate is wiser. Rather than being disillusioned by the timid antic of PDP, they appear more resolute in rooting for Otti as the man needed to salvage the state. This is not without reasons. The APGA candidate is a thoroughbred Aba Boy having schooled in Aba, perhaps having his first house in the city and contributing immensely to enhancing his neighbourhood. Indeed, Aba ma Ndi-Aba and in that spirit has overwhelmingly endorsed support for Onye Aba Dr. Otti. -Eze, a public affairs commentator, lives in Aba http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/otti-ikpeazu-and-aba-ma-ndi-aba/199591/ |

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/security-agencies-to-deploy-360-000-operatives-for-elections/199510/ No fewer than 360,000 security personnel will be deployed to ensure that the 2015 general election is violence-free. To this end, the security agencies have assured of their preparedness for the conduct of the general election. The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Suleiman Abba, disclosed this while speaking to journalists at the end of a 2-day conference with the theme: Nigeria 2015 Elections and Beyond: Roles of State and Non-State Actors in Mitigating Violence in Elections. According to him, about 300,000 of his officers have been trained in partnership with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and development partners. Commandant General (CG), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Prof. Ade Abolurin disclosed that 60,000 of his officers will also partake in securing life and properties during the election. The event was organized by a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), Savannah Centre for Diplomacy, Development and Democracy (SCCD) and Centre for Strategic and International Studies (SCIS) at the weekend in Abuja. |
