Niger state governor, Dr. Muazu Babangida Aliyu, yesterday said the defection of the seven PDP governors to the APC strengthened the opposition party and in turn increased the chances of Buhari's victory. The governor said this while commissioning some TETFund projects at the College of Education Minna. Aliyu urged the PDP not to pray for failure of the APC-led government as the effect of such will be felt by all and sundry.

The governor warned against turning Nigeria to a one party state. He further blamed the failure of the PDP on the merger and failure of President of Goodluck Jonathan to honour the agreement of one term he signed.

The President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, has described as a fraud the claim by the Boko Haram sect that it is a religious group. He said the sect would be denied a recruitment base the moment people in local communities realised that its claim was nothing but a fraud.

Buhari said this while receiving a delegation from Nasarawa State which was led by the state Governor, Tanko Al-Makura, at the Defence House, on Monday. In a statement signed by the Director of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Mallam Garba Shehu, Buhari was quoted as saying, “The fraud called Boko Haram can be defeated by denying it a recruitment base."

The decision of President Goodluck Jonathan to formally handover to President-elect Muhammadu Buhari on May 28, has been faulted by an erudite lawyer and human rights activist, Femi Falana, SAN. Falana said it would create a power vacuum for the few hours between when he hands over and the morning of May 29 when his successor will be formally sworn-in as the President.

Minister of Information, Mrs. Patricia Akwashiki, had on Wednesday disclosed that President Jonathan would formally handover to Muhammadu Buhari on May 28 at a dinner. Falana said, the May 28 chosen by Jonathan is a deviation from the law.
