President Muhammadu Buhari has warned politicians interested in taking part in the 2023 general elections that he will not condone malpractices or attempts to rig the vote, nationwide.

The president made the declaration on Tuesday, December 17, 2019 at the presidential villa in Abuja during the commemoration of his 77th birthday.
The president told politicians who want to contest in 2023 to work hard because “he will not allow electoral malpractices.”
He also warned those who may be planning to use their offices or security agencies to subvert the will of the people to have a rethink because he will not allow them to have their way.

Buhari handed down the warning while receiving top government officials at his official residence in the villa.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, presented the president with a birthday card on behalf of the rest of the delegation.

Not seeking a 3rd term

Buhari, who won a second term in office in February 2019 on the platform of the APC, won’t be eligible for another term in 2023 because the constitution only allows for a two-term of eight years for presidents and state governors.

The president has sworn time and again that he doesn’t intend to tweak the constitution to insert a third term clause for himself.

He will, however, remain in office until he is tried and convicted by the senate.

It is an unlikely scenario because his Republican party has control of the upper chamber and are likely to acquit him.

If he remains in office after the Senate trial, Trump will be joining a rare group of two other American presidents — Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton — who were impeached but saved by the Senate.

Naira Marley flaunts his exotic cars amid car theft saga

Controversial singer, Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, has disclosed that he charges N20million per show and he made N60million this week from Access Bank shows.

The singer made the revelation while responding to a question from one of his followers who had sought to know how much he charges per show after he shared photos of his expensive cars.
The music star took to his Instagram page on Tuesday, where he shared a photo of his three cars where he wrote about not being a fan of showing off but had to do it to clear the air.

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has dismissed claims that Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe was sponsoring his group.

Speaking during a live broadcast on Radio Biafra, Kanu, complained that the IPOB is not getting any support from southeast leaders.

He, however, expressed love for senator Abaribe for always speaking the truth, despite not supporting the movement financially.

Kanu recalled that the South East lawmaker stood by him in his moment of despair.
He stated that IPOB can never attack Abaribe like former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.

Kanu said: “I remain eternally grateful to my sureties for standing by me all through my travails, trials, and tribulations,” Kanu had said in April 2019.

“Have you seen anybody touch Abaribe?

“Touch him and you will see. Abaribe has not given IPOB one dime but the man speaks the truth, that is why I love Abaribe.”

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has reacted to the re-arrest of Omoyele Sowore, convener of RevolutionNow Movement by the Department of State Services, DSS.

Kanu alleged that DSS re-arrested Sowore because he once had a meeting with him.

The IPOB leader made the disclosure during a live broadcast on Radio Biafra on Sunday, where he condemned DSS action against Sowore.

He alleged that the Nigerian government led by President Muhammadu Buhari was not interested in Sowore but was only using the activist to get close to him.

“The only reason Sowore is in prison is because he had a meeting with me. They are not fighting Sowore. They are fighting me,” Kanu said.

Kanu and Sowore, who was the 2019 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, had prior to the general election met in New York, United States, to strategize on what they describe as “injustice in Nigeria.”

After the election, Sowore called for a revolution in Nigeria, an action that led to his arrest by the DSS.

The secret police, however, released Sowore on Thursday last week after spending 124 days in detention.

But, on Friday morning operatives of the DSS re-arrested Sowore on the premises of an Abuja Federal High Court, a development that has continued to generate public outcry

As the people of Imo State await the final verdict on the governorship poll, Declan Emelumba revisits the grounds of litigation by the All Progressives Congress (APC) against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

All eyes are on the Supreme Court to see how it will determine the legal battle on Imo State governorship election, which is now before it. It should be obvious to all discerning minds that the Supreme Court’s final decision on the case amounts to a historic archetypal pronouncement on the sanctity of both our constitution, electoral laws and the electoral process. This is so because either way, the apex court would by its final judgement either reinforce the basic foundations of our constitution and electoral laws or bruise them irredeemablely.

The issues begging for determination are germane and weigh directly on the very soul of the constitution and the electoral process.

Let us be clear, the conduct and outcome of the last governorship election in Imo State were quite controversial and mind boggling. The incredulous drama that played out at the collation centres were clear pointers to the fact that something stranger than fiction was cooking

When eventually the magical concoction was done and served on the Imo public it still came as a rude shock to many It was clear to objective observers that the electoral process had been gravely compromised. Many vexed issues were immediately thrown up.

Those issues, for clarity, have been aptly encased in the petition of the APC candidate, Senator Hope Uzodimma, challenging the declaration of the PDP candidate, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha, as the winner of the March governorship election and I summarise them under two heads by way of questions; to wit:

Did Ihedioha of the PDP meet the constitutional requirement of scoring the highest votes cast in the election and 25% of the votes in two thirds or 18 of the 27 Local government areas in the state. 2 Were the results of Uzodimma from 388 polling units unlawfully excluded from the final tally of votes which if added makes him the winner of the election and if so what are the legal remedies as provided for in our electoral laws

On the first issue of whether the PDP candidate met the constitutional requirement to be declared winner of the election, it is common knowledge to even the apolitically inclined that he did not. The score sheet of the election announced by INEC is a public document that says it all. Not a few have expressed worry about the implications of this constitutional breach for our democracy at large

The observations of Dr Ugoji Egbujo, a well known columnist with the Vanguard Newspapers captures the general public mood and bewilderment on the matter. In his column in Saturday Vanguard of November 23 on page 36, he wrote :

“Then, there is this other demon. It must have operated the day Imo governorship election results were announced. It is an irresponsible demon. I don’t know what else to call it. The returning officer of Imo state governorship election is a professor. Imo state has 27 Local government areas. The constitution requires that the candidate with a majority of votes can only be announced winner if he has 25% of votes cast in at least two thirds of the Local government areas. The Imo returning officer who is a professor announced a winner. The candidate whom he announced as winner has 25% votes cast in only 12 Local government areas instead of 18.

INEC accepted the announcement and asked aggrieved persons to go to court. I haven’t been able to understand how the professor worked out his own math (2/3×27). He has left millions of school children baffled. It is possible that some plantain mathematics is used in Banana republics to solve simple election questions”

Of course, Dr Egbujo is not the only one mystified by this banana mathematics from a mathematics professor. Many members of the public are,and I suspect his professor colleagues will be even more at loss. And make no mistake, it is not only millions of school children that are baffled, millions of adults are too.
INEC asked aggrieved persons to go to court. And that they did. But what happened in the court so far? More bewilderment. The tribunal refused to take a categorical stand on the two thirds issue and instead hid under technicalities to sweep it under the carpet. More incredibly four court of appeal judges agreed with the tribunal. Many are yet to come to grips with what appears to be unfolding, to wit,that some members of the judiciary, the last hope of the common man, can actually look the public in the face and practically tell them ” Never mind about this constitutional stuff. Who are we to do better than a professor of mathematics. At anyrate win is win.”

But there is a ray of hope coming from a court of appeal judge who audaciously disagreed with his colleagues and stood firmly for the truth. And this brings us to the second issue of unlawful exclusion of the results of the APC candidate from 388 polling units. Justice Frederick Oho, of the court of appeal, in his dissenting judgement declared that the APC candidate won the governorship election.

It is instructive that the tribunal in dismissing the prayer of Uzodimma for the votes he scored in the 388 polling units to be added to the final tally relied on an issue that was not canvassed by the parties. The tribunal held that the APC candidate could not prove that his votes from the said units were excluded because the polling units agents were not called to testify that elections held in the units. Incredible. Yet the parties joined issues at the hearing claiming that the results were forged But they never produced the correct results. Even INEC challenged to produce the original results from the units, failed. This is why the dissenting judgement of Justice Oho is quite revealing

Here are extracts from his judgement: “It is clear that from the state of pleading of the parties, while Appellants had the burden of proving the reduction, omission or exclusion of their results from collation, the Respondent’s had the burden of proving that the 388 polling units result sheets relied upon by the Appellants are forged. From the printed records,to therefore suggest that the Appellants succeeded in the hilt in discharging the burden of proof placed on them with regard to the exclusion of results, is to state the obvious. This is against the backdrop of the fact that the Respondents who alleged forgery, a criminal offence, woefully failed to adduce any scintilla of evidence in proof of the allegation.

As if this was not enough at the hearing of the petition the Respondents failed to comply with the provisions of paragraph 12(12) and 15 of the first schedule of the electoral Act by pleading what they claimed to be genuine results to enable the tribunal compare the two sets of results for the purpose of determining which of the two sets of results was the authentic result from the 388 polling units sience the respondents disputed the authenticity of the results tendered before the tribunal

The consequence of neglect to or failure to comply with the provisions of paragraph 12(2) and 15 of the first schedule to the Electoral Act 2010 is that the 388 polling unit results tendered by the Appellants are deemed not challenged or controverted. See AGUGU&ORS VS. MIMIKO & ORS(2009),LPELR 2H49(CA), HASSAN VS TUMU(1999) 10 NWLR(PT624) 700,710, 712.

Having taken a very careful consideration of the state of pleadings of the parties, the evidence adduced before the tribunal, it is clear that Appellants succeeded in establishing their entitlement to the main relief sought in the petition and I so hold. The appeal hereby succeeds per force and is accordingly allowed.”

Yes, all eyes are indeed, on the supreme court to know how they will rule on the Imo governorship matter. What will they say about the obvious non compliance with the provisions of the constitution by INEC and what will they say of the unlawfully excluded results from the 388 polling units.

If the apex court refuses to address the flagrant constitutional breach by INEC, it will mean a judicial confirmation that our constitution is not worth more than the ink with which it was printed and that men and institutions can breach it at will. Likewise will its decision on the results from the 388 polling units speak volumes on the relevance of our electoral laws. Indeed the world is waiting

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Director General, Voice of Nigeria (VON), Osita Okechukwu, has called on the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to adopt Igbo Presidency for 2023.

Okechukwu, who spoke with journalists in Enugu on Sunday, said if APC and PDP produced Igbo presidential candidates in 2023, it would solve the “prevalent gun-box democracy” and return “ballot box democracy” to Nigeria.

Okechukwu made the appeal while reacting to issues on the country’s democracy and the 2023 presidential election.
He appealed to the two dominant political parties to adopt the Falae/Obasanjo model by fielding an Igbo presidential candidate.

According to him, adoption of Igbo Presidency is the only way to have a peaceful 2023 presidential election and save Nigeria’s ‘threatened’ democracy.

He added that rotation of president among different regions is the ligament holding the country’s fledgling democracy.

Okechukwu said, “I have tremendous respect for His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, our national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, especially Tinubu, who more than anybody contributed the critical supplement to President Buhari’s 12 million vote-bank in 2015 which led us to victory.
“I also salute other prominent Nigerians who are angling to be president in 2023. However, Nigeria, our fatherland is bigger than any of us and her unity is of paramount importance.

“The Falae/Obasanjo model was founded in 1999, on equity, natural justice, and good conscience, with the sole objective of a harmonious and peaceful country

“We may recall that in 1999, two Yorubas were fielded by national consensus under PDP and AD/APP alliance. That was the genesis of rotation of president between North and South.

The destination was peace, unity, equity and good conscience. We need that now more than ever, especially now that Mr President had denounced those fifth columnists who bandied 3rd Term.
Igbo presidency is the recipe to create sense of belonging and save Nigeria’s threatened democracy.”

One-time vice president of Nigeria, Atiku Abuabakar, has been fighting several battles in recent times. His desire to displace President Muhammadu Buhari as the number one citizen of the country and the death of his close aide, Umar Pariya, lead the list.

During the week, Atiku returned to Nigeria after spending about seven months in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This was well deserved considering the stress that came with the presidential election.

Though things have not worked in his favour lately, the appointment of his son, Adamu Atiku, as the Commissioner for Works and Energy Development in Adamawa, will give him some reason to smile.

Adamu was among the 23 newly inaugurated commissioners by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa. The inauguration ceremony was held on Monday.

Learn easily and practice on their platform... I mean on W3school platform.
You get??


If for Android... Start with basic of Java and later divert to kotlin.

No prob
Let me learn web development

Maskyy:
Just as hoe and cutlass is to a farmer
.. Likewise laptop is to a programmer.

However, reading and practicing online with your phone is never a bad idea, just that it's kind of stressful. W3school will help learning and using their practising UI to learn with your phone.

Here I will take a pause... Start learning now else you feel bad of not starting it later.

Ok I have downloaded their app how will I start

Maskyy:
If you plan to have a tutor... Find some kind of professional course for IT institute around. Google them for anambra or ask around.

I don't know much about your state but you can find Listacc in Ebonyi.... Mile 50 side.... Down roban street... Annunciation school.
