The House of Representatives on Tuesday warned the Federal Government against tampering with the existing “arrangements” for the March 28 elections, particularly the removal of the Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega.

The House noted that changing the election plans either by further extending the dates or removing Jega would only lead to a magnitude of violence, worse than what was witnessed after the 2011 polls.

In a resolution in Abuja, the House drew the attention of the political class, the Federal Government, state governments and security agencies to warnings of unavoidable violence already issued by eminent Nigerians and groups, both on the international and local scenes.

The resolution was taken following a motion moved by the Chairman, House Committee on Justice, Ali Ahmad.

The development came as the Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal, at a separate session, raised the alarm that the dark days of military coups might return if the country continued to progress in error.

During Tuesday’s plenary, lawmakers also warned that “persons” whose actions would have led to such violence must be held accountable at all judicial levels.

Part of their resolution read, “Hold personally accountable at domestic judicial forum or at the International Court of Justice, any persons or organisations that foist on INEC any decision or action whatsoever, including unconstitutional attempt to remove the current INEC chairman, that has the effect of making it impracticable for elections to hold on 28th March and 11th April, 2015.”

Besides, members made it clear that removing the INEC chairman would be unconstitutional except if it secured the approval of two-thirds of the Senate, as prescribed in Section. 157(1) of the 1999 Constitution.

“Such removal can only be achieved when two things happen, viz, (a) his inability to discharge the functions of the office, or (b) for misconduct, as determined by two-thirds of the Senate,” the resolution added.

The Peoples Democratic Party caucus in the House made spirited attempts to stop the motion but failed.

The House Deputy Majority Leader, Mr. Leo Ogor, had raised an objection on the grounds that the motion was “speculative” as there was no evidence suggesting that Jega was about to be removed.

“Nobody is interested in removing Jega; so, we can’t entertain such a speculative motion,” Ogor protested.

But, he was overruled by Tambuwal and the motion was passed in a majority voice vote.

The Speaker also did not allow members to debate the motion, a move that earned him murmurs from some PDP lawmakers.

Meanwhile, Tambuwal, while speaking at a meeting with a coalition of civil society groups, Nigerian Civil Society Situation Room, observed that the “signs” of a possible return to dark days in Nigeria were everywhere for all to see.

He stated that apart from alleged plans to use Civil Service rules to force Jega out of office, the suggestion of an interim government by some groups was “treasonable.”

The speaker said, “Any form of government outside our constitution is a coup. Why are the security agencies not charging such persons with treasonable felony?

“Some individuals are bent on ensuring that the elections do not hold or in the alternative, create scenarios that will make the conduct of the polls impossible for INEC.

The speaker, who said “power belongs to God” and Him alone decides whom to give, advised the political class against attempting to oppose God and the will of the people.

He spoke further, “Some individuals are not interested in a free and fair process of elections.

“You should remember that people voted you into power; if the same people are saying go and rest through a free and fair process, then respect their decision.

“Some persons occupied these offices before we came in. What would have happened if they refused to vacate the offices for us?

“Not up to 10 per cent of Nigerians are politicians; what happens to the remaining 90 per cent ? In any case, there has to be a country to govern.

“Are we as a nation ordinarily supposed to be where they are today?”

The CSO representatives , who were led by Clement Nwankwo, had earlier raised fears over what they considered to be troubling signs of a possible interference with the democratic process in the country.

They said that a similar meeting would be held with the President of the Senate, David Mark, and a final round with President Goodluck Jonathan to harp on the dangers of frustrating the democratic processes.

Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State said, having taken stock of preparations for the forthcoming general elections, it has become clear that the Peoples Democratic Party would win the March 28 Presidential election on the first ballot.

He boasted that the party’s candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, would win over 90 percent of the votes cast across the country.

“The meeting was just to take stock of the situation on ground and the report is very favourable. It looks like on the first ballot, we will win well over 90 percent of the votes across Nigeria,” Akpabio told State House correspondents at the end of a marathon meeting Jonathan had with PDP governors and governorship candidates at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Monday evening.

Akpabio, who is the chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, said it was clear that the opposition was already in disarray ahead of the elections.

He said he had always insisted that propaganda that the opposition is known for could only take one to a limit after which the reality would be clear.

He said with the latest development, Nigerians were now aware of the giant strides of the present administration in the different sectors of the nation’s economy.

The governor said in the four years of Jonathan’s administration, the President had performed better than any President in the history of the country.

He said, “Today, Nigerians are much more aware of what the PDP administration under President Goodluck Jonathan has been doing.

“I want to commend not only the President but also members of the Federal Executive Council who have opened the eyes of Nigerians to know that so many things have been done in the different sectors of the economy.

“It was as if people did not know these things because the opposition took over and they kept saying PDP was doing nothing. Yet, in four years of the President’s tenure, he has achieved far more than any President had ever done in the history of our country.

“We are very proud of the achievements of the PDP, not just at the federal level but also at the different states.

“If you want to assess state-by-state, pick the opposition’s best APC state in Nigeria and compare it with the best state of the PDP, you will see that we tower above the opposition in all ramifications.

“The next election, particularly the election of March 28 will be about performance and issues. Nigerians have since gone above the level of tribalism and ethnic or religion differences. God put us together in this country and He knew that we are a multiplicity of religions and tribes.”

Akpabio said the same way Nigerians came together in 2011 and voted for Jonathan, they would return him based on the fact that he has performed creditably and that the PDP has discharged its responsibilities to Nigerians to the best of its ability based on available resources

myweb:
Guys I still dont trust this guy. He's only saying this because he think he's having upper hand now. Wait till two weeks time when apc unfold their strategy again, story go wan change.

Beside I'm not impress with that interviewer. Too rushy and she no dey drill am.

my bros, no upper hand anywhere.the guy is as jittery as anything. its just that to remove jega, the consequence will be too much. if he removes jega and he says that he wins the election, his government might not be recognised internationally which may mark the beginning of a parallel government by opposition. but this clueless guy is too desperate and may foolishly damn consequences and go ahead.

.

that is why there Is fuel scarcity, awon ole.

hmmmmmm

fuel scarcity, poor power supply, galloping corruption and the Government is blaming other people.


clowns

what then is the definition of government.

The All Progressives Congress has said the real causes of the debilitating fuel scarcity across the country are the looting of the $12 billion domestic gas fund under President Goodluck Jonathan’s
watch, as well as the Administration’s failure to pay fuel subsidy and the cost of interests on bank loans to oil marketers, thus making it
impossible for them to begin another round of importation of refined petroleum products.

In a statement issued in Dubai on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the PDP and the
Jonathan Administration decided to divert attention from those problems by accusing the opposition of being responsible for the
scarcity – a most laughable and irresponsible statement by a sitting government that is always so eager to blame everyone but itself for
the nation’s woes.

It recalled that the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala had, in February, promised to pay all subsidies owed to the marketers then in the sum of N264 billion, along with the accrued interest.

APC said, however, that the failure to meet this obligation has made it impossible for the oil marketers, who are being owed heavily, to
finance another round of products importation.

”The truth is that this profligate government has run Nigeria aground, and the oil sector, whether upstream or downstream, has
particularly suffered hugely. The quantity of petroleum products that was imported has almost been fully consumed, without fresh products being brought in to augment supplies that have now fallen well below re-order level.

”The implication is that in addition to worsening power supply, crumbling prices of oil at the international market, weakening Naira and unprecedented corruption, Nigerians – who routinely provide their own electricity to power their homes and business, now have to face another round of government-imposed hardship with the ongoing fuel scarcity,” the party said.

It said the fuel crisis would not have reached the stage it is in now had the $12 billion domestic gas project fund not been looted under President Jonathan’s watch. This is because, with the project being executed, many vehicles, cooking stoves and generators would have been converted to use gas to reduce the importation of PMS, diesel and kerosene, and gas would have been available to fire the gas turbines at power stations while more power would have been delivered to the national grid.

APC accused President Jonathan of sabotaging the domestic gas project started by the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, with the $12 billion cash call provisions for gas development for domestic power generation looted under his (President Jonathan) watch.

BUSTED: WHY TINUBU AND CO. WANT 'CHANGE' AT ALL COST.

Unknown to many, Tinubu is not angry with President Jonathan as a person but he is afraid of the policies introduced by G.E.J. one of which is the introduction of BVN(Bank Verification Number). With the BVN, corrupt individuals have no hiding place as all transactions can be traced to one account and the owner of the account can be easily fished out. the BVN will eliminate the use of fictitious accounts opened for the purpose of money laundering and fraud. Tinubu and his team of corrupt individuals are against the BVN so they cry for 'CHANGE'

crappy crap

OLADD:
Son of Lucifer. Has Jega now become a card carrying member of PDP?

clowns.

OLADD:
Lies from the pit of hell. Joe Igbokwe, APC spokesman was on STV few weeks ago where he openly canvassed for the use of Temporary Voters Cards due to apparent lopsidedness in INEC's distribution of PVCs most especially in Lagos State. The president has never stood against the use of PVCs.

lies............pdp are the architect of temporal voters card

Meanwhile GEJ till 2019. #NeverAgain will a terrorist ever rule Nigeria again. Hit like and share for GEJ.

The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the State Governor to account for over 136 billion Naira SURE-P largesse allocated to Lagos State.

The party claims the money was collected by the Lagos State Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola.

In a statement issued by the Lagos State PDP spokesman, Taofik Gani, the party noted that the amount was enough to build at least 100,000 low cost accommodation and adequate hostels on all the state’s tertiary campuses.

“In spite of the huge state internally generated revenue (IGR) and the over 136 billion Naira SURE-P largesse over the years, Lagos residents are still lacking many ordinary social services.

“Where they are available, Lagosians (Lagos residents) pay exorbitant to enjoy such,” the party stated.

According to the statement: “even the APC governorship Candidate’s campaign jingles, posters and other messages are clear vote of no confidence in the services rendered by Governor Fashola.

“This is because Mr Ambode has himself declared emergency in virtually all the sectors of governance in the state by proposing trust and emergency funds in the sectors.”

The Akinwunmi Ambode is the Lagos State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The PPD re-emphasised its confidence in defeating the APC in the coming general elections.

“We are good to go and defeat APC in the coming elections. Fashola was able to cajole Lagos residents for some years with pseudo and momentary projects, while neglecting areas of governance that affect the masses most,” the party said.

The PDP, describing the Governor as a mediocre in governance, said it would capitalise on the flaws of Governor Fashola’s administration to defeat of the APC in the state.

what is jonathan if fashola is a mediocre in governance,ODES.

SOURCE...............another fake propaganda.sure p largesse indeed.

front page

it is a reality already.

they are already defeated.

A former Lagos State Commissioner, Mr. Dele Alake, says the allegations emanating from the Peoples Democratic Party that the All Progressives Congress Vice-Presidential candidate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, will hand over power to former Governor Bola Tinubu within six months after he is inaugurated, shows that the PDP is already dreaming of defeat.

Alake, who is the Director of Strategic Communications, All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation, said this in a statement on Sunday.

Alake urged Nigerians not to take the Director of Media, PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, seriously as he was known for always making allegations.

He said the time frame of six months for the action to take place meant that the APC presidential candidate, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) and Osinbajo would have been sworn in as President and Vice-President respectively on May 29, 2015.

Alake said, “Any psychoanalyst can read the mind of the purveyors of this concoction of falsehood. Their assumption gives away the fact that they themselves accept the certainty of victory of the APC in the presidential election.”

He said the massive support for the APC presidential ticket locally and internationally has inflicted a devastating damage on the psychology of the PDP campaign managers “leading to an acute case of schizophrenia.”

Alake said Fani-Kayode shot himself in the foot in his desperation to spin a conspiracy theory that is childish and merits the condemnation of all right thinking persons.

He said, “Fani-Kayode alleges that Asiwaju Tinubu would become President by asking the Vice- President, Professor Osinbajo, to resign after six months in office in the belief that the President Muhammadu Buhari may have terminal health challenges.

“That the message came through Fani-Kayode who, just a few days ago, was brought to answer corruption charges, makes the message incredulous. The whole world knows the other reasons for the incredulity of any message delivered through him.

“Indeed, the fact that the PDP campaign machinery can construct a post-presidential election scenario in which APC would be in power is a significant testimony of their admission that they have lost this election. We note this mental and psychological concession of victory to our party’s presidential candidate but reject the odious scenario.

“Nigerians should please ignore this latest antic because it is untrue, ridiculous, ludicrous, mundane and jejune.”
