It's a Golden opportunity for Jonathan, if it eventually happens,to clear his name considering the billions of $ squandered wastefully during his regime. Atleast it will clear the air and set a good precedence that nobody is above the law.

Madam Kemi should go and sleep. She's becoming a nuisance with her rants. weeks back is Linda's issue,now is Olamide. Let her go and face real journalism and not all these Agege reports she is giving us.

Still waiting for the robust reply sha

A very shameful situation. Both dancing naked at the market Square [color=#990000][/color]

So everything now happening is linked to Tinubu. People should please wake up from their slumber. Law is taking it course. Don't divert our attention pls

That's a great union

This is terrible. May God protect us from such calamity

Congratulations sir

Adamuhassa:
The identities of the six firms and their facilitators contracted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to print ballot papers, result sheets and other sensitive materials for the 2011 general election were Tuesday unravelled by THISDAY.


They were Tip3, a Spanish company represented by Hashim Dikko, and Graphic Inline (Gi) with Sanni Lamido as proxy.
Also on the list were Kalamazoo, represented by manliness Jackson, a Nigerian-Briton married to a lady from Kano; Aero-vote represented by one Yerima; and SanFrano, a German/Polish company represented by Sanni Musa.
The sixth company that benefited from the printing contract was VI Solutions, sponsored by Yahaya Sani.
SanFrano, according to investigation, was the firm that went to China to print the papers but failed to deliver on time for the April 2 elections.

The six contractors received over N13 billion for the printing of the 75 million ballot papers and result sheets for each of the elections. The contracts were awarded to the companies by INEC in late February this year, according to investigation.
Going by the terms of the contract, each of the companies was expected to print 75 million ballot papers and result sheets for the elections in respect of the National Assembly, presidential, governorship and state assembly elections. The number of registered voters is 73 million.


THISDAY gathered that 75 million copies for the main presidential election and another 75 million copies for a run-off, totalling 150 millon were authorised by Jega and awarded to Tip3 Company, the Spanish firm.

THISDAY investigation also showed that the Spanish firm being naïve about the importance of the job, went ahead to print the run-off election papers first and returned the job on the main election to INEC on March 23 with the excuse that it could no longer handle it.


Sources at the commission also revealed that the trio of Jega, his chief of staff, who also doubles as a consultant, Prof. Okechukwu Ibeanu, and an unnamed senior Presidency official took charge of the award of the contracts for the printing of 200 million copies of the ballot papers and result sheets.


According to the source, INEC in December 2010 set up four committees to traverse the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Lithuania, South Africa, Asia and the United Arab Emirate (UAE) to search for suitable printers.


Jega, as chairman of the committee ‘A’, visited the United States and Canada, with Prof. Lai Olurode and U.F. Usman as members of his committee.


It was further gathered that Mr. Nuru Yukubu, chairman of committee ‘B’, visited England and Ireland, with Mrs. G.N. Nwafor, Dr. Oniyangi, Col. M. K Hammanga, D. I. Anumba as members of the committee.
The third committee had Mr. Philip Umeadi, Mrs. T. Iremiren and K.N. Ukeagu as members and visited Germany, France, Poland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Lithuania, while the fourth committee headed by Dr. Ishmael Igbani visited South Africa, Asia and UAE. Members of the committee included Dr. Chris Iyimoga, Prince Solomon Soyebi and Mrs. Amina Yusuf.


THISDAY gathered that trouble started when the four committees returned from their overseas assessment tour of facilities of printers of security materials and raised another committee headed by the INEC National Commissioner in Charge of Logistics, Col. M. K Hammanga, to harmonise the reports.


The harmonisation committee, in its report, recommended that the ballot papers, result sheets and other sensitive materials be printed in Germany, France and Poland.
The committee also recommended that US should be excluded because of distance, while England was also rejected because of high cost of printing there.

The Hammanga committee subsequently shortlisted 21 companies and the list was submitted to Jega.
It was discovered that to the utter surprise of the committee members, INEC dumped the shortlisted companies.
“Since then, the issues on the award of the contracts for the printing of the ballot papers, the result sheets and other sensitive election materials was shrouded in secrecy. The files relating to the contracts were always kept in the office of the INEC chairman,” the source said.



NO WONDER BUHARI IS HAVING HOPE.IMAGINE PRINTING RUN-OFF BALLOT PAPERS BEFORE THE BALLOT PAPERS FOR THE MAIN ELECTIONS!

The story is absolutely false.Pls go and verify your facts before concluding.You are biased and misleading.

What i dont understand is why Ribadu supporters focus on discrediting Buhari? Is this why they sabotaged the alliance between opposition, it may now be through that they are indeed working for PDP to sabotage Buharis chances, Buhari is not the president you want to send out of office so instead of spending time campaigning to get PDP out they are all around insulting Buhari with fake threads and allegations

Re: Why Ijaws And Igbos Must Unite

Hey Bro,

The problem of any tribe or any group of Nigerians is NOT unity.

The problem is POVERTY. How united is England and Scotland? Yet everybody lives in peace.

Let every Nigerian have access to Good road, Electricity, Social security, Hospitals and other basics of Life, you'll be surprised that people will care less about their Tribe or Religion.

As far as i am concerned, there are two tribes in Nigeria,  the Oppressed ans the Oppressors.
I agree with u my brother.What u said is absolutely true[color=#000099][/color]
