BENIN—A Federal High Court sitting in Benin, Edo State, has held that prisoners in Nigerian prisons have the right to vote in all elections conducted in the country.

Justice Mohammed Lima, who made the ruling in a suit by Victor Emenuwe, Onome Inaye, Kabiru Abu, Osagie Iyekepolor, Modugu Odion (for and on behalf of inmates of Nigeria Prisons), against the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and the Controller-General of Nigeria Prisons Service, also directed the defendants to ensure that the applicants were not disenfranchised.

The plaintiffs had, in the suit, asked the court to determine “whether, having regards to the provisions of section 25 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended in 2011,and section 12 (1) of the Electoral Act 2010, the plaintiffs are not entitled to be registered as voters by INEC.”

They had also prayed the court to determine, whether having regard to the provisions of Section 77 (2) of the 1999 Constitution and Section 12 (1) of the Electoral Act 2010, the plaintiffs were not entitled to cast their votes at any election in the country.

They had also asked the court to determine whether the failure of INEC to make registration and voting provisions for the inmates in the custody of Nigerian prisons does not constitute an infringement on their rights as citizens of Nigeria as enshrined in section 14 (1) (2) (a) (b), section 17 (2) (a), section 24 (b), (c),section 39 of the 1999 constitution and Article 13 (1) and Article 20 (1) of the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights.

In his judgment, Justice Lima, said: “Act byINEC to deny inmates the right to vote is unconstitutional, illegal, irregular, unlawful,null and void and of no effect whatsoever. The defendants do not have the constitutional right to deny the claimants their voting rights.“Being an inmate is not an offence that impedes their registration and voting right under section 24 of the Electoral Act; and that the exclusion of inmates in elections conducted in Nigeria is illegal and ultra vires.”

Yesterday a Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President, Reuben Abati published in his Twitter the exposing information from Wikileaks about Buhari’s 1983-84 governing years.


The information is provided by the Public Library of United States Diplomacy through Wikileaks

Like President Obasanjo before the 1999 election, General Buhari’s political experience is limited to that of military Head of State. Buhari came to power as a result of a 1983 New Year’s Eve coup against the democratically elected Shehu Shagari. The eviction of Shagari came as a welcome relief as did Buhari’s promise to root out corruption. That relief, however, was short-lived as Nigerians watched despairingly as the Buhari regime’s promises to revive the economy and wipe out rampant corruption withered during 20 months of heavy-handed, largely ineffective rule.

In May 1984, Buhari ordered the brutal expulsion of 700,000 illegal immigrants from neighboring African states, jailed hundreds of political opponents and muzzled a once aggressive press. His loyalty to the military also came into question as he dismissed 30,000 soldiers as a cost-cutting measure. Buhari also soured Nigeria’s relations with Britain, when he was accused of masterminding a clumsy and unsuccessful attempt in July 1984 to kidnap President Shagari’s brother-in-law, former Transport Minister Umaru Dikko. Moreover, Buhari undermined traditional rulers throughout Nigeria, slashing their benefits and questioning their authority.

Former military leader Muhammadu Buhari is set to contest Nigeria's presidential election after winning a primary for the opposition APC.

He will challenge President Goodluck Jonathan - a repeat of the 2011 poll.

The elections in February look to be the closest fought since the end of military rule in 1999.

The 71-year-old former general, a Muslim from the north, seized power in 1983 but was himself deposed in a coup less than two years later.

He was up against four other candidates in the vote at the All Progressives Congress (APC) party convention in Lagos.

In the previous election, Mr Jonathan defeated Mr Buhari, with almost 59% of the vote against 32%, sparking widespread unrest in northern areas which backed Mr Buhari.

More than 500 people were killed and thousands of people were forced from their homes.

Analysis: Will Ross, BBC News, Lagos
The governing People's Democratic Party (PDP) has gone for continuity with President Goodluck Jonathan and the current Vice President, Namadi Sambo as his running mate.

The APC's chosen candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, says the last thing Nigeria needs right now is continuity and he is promising to tackle the country's insecurity, corruption and economic worries.

The former military ruler has been out of power for close to 30 years and although popular, especially in northern Nigeria, there is little evidence to prove he has what it takes to fix the country.

donemperor:

elipheleh:
Thunder fire you and buhari.
See the stupid Northerners thinking they got sense?

Buhari encouraged underaged voting in his states in North And you are here calling the tyrant a saint?
Buhari is a thief, a heartless human rights abuser, killed fela, killed KO abiola ' s wife. His regime introduced corruption into Nigeria and IBB magnified it. Buhari is clueless and a religious bigot, book haram sponsor, and anti-democracy. He promised to kill Nigerians and he did it. Go figure his shootings and killings of the 80s world leaders meeting. An idiot that calls Nigerians senseless during a world leaders meeting.

Buhari is the devil and God won't let Nigeria get into the handles of the evil people .

GEJ till 2019

tempex88:
This is toGEJ's credit. He choose the right man for this ministry.

CityNG:
This is wrong.

"Roundel logo[edit]

The round BMW logo used for all models
The circular blue and white BMW logo or roundel evolved from the circular Rapp Motorenwerke company logo, from which the BMW company grew, combined with the blue and white colors of the flag of Bavaria.[92] The logo has been portrayed as the movement of an aircraft propeller with the white blades cutting through a blue sky—first used in a BMW advertisement in 1929, twelve years after the roundel was created—but this is not the origin of the logo itself.[93]"

AlienSPY:
Some aggrieved politicians sha displaying irrational disposition.

When Wike went and fought the Amaechi leadership to reclaim the Party from destruction, they were sleeping.

When Wike form/inaugurate the GDI to mobilise for the Party that was almost non existent, they were sleeping.

When Wike financed the Party from his purse, the were sleeping

When Wike constantly confronted the sitting governor to garner popularity for the PDP...they were sleeping.

Now Wike has built a formidable opposition party in Rivers state and they have started grumbling with their Riverine nonsense. People doesn't have conscience sha but the first family has load of it.

foxxynik: LOLLLL..... I've never seen a governor as dull as Imoke.... He's the sexiest governor among them all.... But is he really a governor of beauty contest? Coz ever since Donald Duke left that office, CRS has deteriorated..

ilugunboy: I am not too sure if my explanation is correct....but it may be as for the reason why you didn't see much of LASTMA activities around that area.

Lately some goons claiming to be FEDERAL ROADS TASK FORCE OFFICIALS have been having a running battle with LASTMA over the control of traffic on some so called Fed roads in Lagos.....the presence of LASTMA yesterday on some roads the president was scheduled to pass through could have cause violent clash with those Fed road task force guys....which could have led to other insinuations.

I think it was a wise decision to withdraw LASTMA guys from those roads.

Udoabasi: I have tried on my own to find out whether there is any bible portion that supports the expression, "God helps those who help themselves". What I've discovered however is that the bible seems to teach the opposite. Jesus Christ did not come for those who can help themselve but for those who are helpless. That is why the bible teaches total dependence on, and acceptance of the will of God. Suprisingly, many christians, even the clergy, use this expression as if it was spoken by Christ himself. Others use it to justify themselves when they go contrary to the tenets of christianity. It is for this reason that I want to know, perhaps, there may be a verse in the bible that such expression could be found. Anyone who knows of such should please post it. Thanks.

ochilikoko: how do you mean? It was stated vividly that Nigeria Government have submitted all th necessary documents and receipts to prove the legitimacy of the deal. I wonder y some persons wants to take this issue personal

lionduke: all na wash, all these hype because he is obasanjo. so many gallant soldiers have lost there life's in active service without mention. may God bring succour to the families of fallen soldiers and they rest in bosom of the Almighty.

otubujohn: Lmao
Are you serious...someone has really being studying me.
I will answer all these your questions in one short sentence.
READ MY VERY FIRST POST AGAIN.
You have really got time. Killing yourself over another persons life. I am really unskilled when it comes to exchanging words. I am too busy for that, so I wish to discontinue these criticisms of your...They are divinely constructive and logical... But the aim and manner in which the construction is directed is not friendly. It is very offensive. Friend if you are trying to avoid be scammed... this is not the best way to do it. Let's not make a public display of our annoyance...abi did we quarell anywhere before. We are not registering with any money. We are pulling resources together. The resources are not only financial resources but also ideas and experience interested persons have gathered. Friend, pls do have a great 9t rest

mstik: wow...

estherdennis: GEJ is not sleeping but if he really act the way we want it, then too many innocent souls will die as we already know that this devils are miss with normal humans so he need to tRead with care .

Rikidony: WHEN WILL U EVER SPEAK GOOD ABOUT THE NA......

THIS GUYS ARE TRYING WE SHOULD GIVE THEM TIME.

Rikidony: The Nigerian military yesterday, August 28, carried out
airstrikes against the dreaded Boko Haram sect’s positions in
Limankara and Gwoza in Borno State.

This is as hundreds of troops also mobilised to the frontline in Gulak,
Adamawa State against the insurgents.
According to Daily Trust report, a resident of Gwoza, Mamman
Madobi, said three military planes were sighted hovering and after a
few minutes, they heard sounds of 15 explosions in the direction of
Madagali, Limankara and Gwoza.

Other residents added that several armoured vehicles were deployed
in Gulak between Wednesday and yesterday while military trucks
conveyed soldiers to the town.
The Army Public Relations Officer, Captain Jafaru Nuhu could not
comment on the issue.
This is coming barely a week after Boko Haram leader, Abubakar
Shekau, released a video claiming to have created an Islamic
caliphate in Gwoza which was seized by the insurgents earlier this
month.

Responding to the Boko Haram’s claims, the Nigerian military
described it as ‘empty ‘.
The town of Gwoza was said to have been seized by the militants and
all efforts to reclaim the town by the military had proved futile.
During the attack on Gwoza, BokoHaram allegedly killed about a 100
people , including the wife of the town’s emir, his brother, and the
chief Imam of Gwoza.

Several towns have been reportedly seized by Boko Haram. The
insurgents have captured Limankara and some areas under Madagali
LGA of Adamawa State after assaults on security formations. Other
towns which have been captured by Boko Haram in recent times
include Buni Yadi in Yobe State and the Police Mobile Training Camp
in nearby Limankara village.
