PoliticsAfenifere Leaders Ditch President Jonathan, Congratulate General Buhari by mattkelly(op): 11:12am On Apr 03, 2015
Leaders of pan Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, on Thursday came out of their haunting shadows to congratulate General Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on his victory in last Saturday’s presidential poll.

At a meeting held inside the compound of Pa Reuben Fasoranti in Akure, Ondo, the leaders claimed they appreciated the “hard spirit” of General Buhari despite castigation on his personality throughout the electioneering period.

Afenifere leaders had endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan for a second term in office in what was seen as a bribe induced meeting orchestrated by the embattled governor of Ondo state, Olusegun Mimiko inside Pa Fasoranti’s residence in Akure.

But on Thursday, the Afenifere leaders retraced their steps and revealed “we only endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan because he promised to implement the recommendations of the National Conference if elected back to power. We didn’t collect money from him for such endorsement, and none gave us money as currently being spread”.

Saharareporters correspondent reports that among leaders present at the meeting were Chief Olu Falae, Bashorun Seinde Arogbofa, Korede Duyile and Femi Aluko.

Speaking to journalists shortly after the meeting, Pa Fasoranti said the election that gave General Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) his “overwhelming victory” was free and fair.

He saluted the doggedness and irrepressible courage of the president-elect and disclosed that they -Afenifere leaders-have decided to pitch their tent with “the Peoples’ General”.

The elderly Yoruba leader added that they are now “partners in progress” with General Buhari and shared in his aspirations to develop the Nigeria.

He stressed the need for Buhari to restructure the country by starting with the implementation of the recommendations of the National Conference held last year.

“The country must be restructured for fair play and injustice, development of a sense of belonging opportunity for all to live happily together, enjoy gainful employment, have sound education, be accessible to good medical care and the need to be proud of our country.

"We also commend to you the implementation of the 2014 Confab report that encapsulates most of our yearnings to get the issues raised above carried out.

"We sincerely share your aspirations to tackle insecurity of life and property, stop insurgency like Boko Haram in our land, reduce unemployment, fight corruption in the body polity, and bring our economy to an enviable standard. We are partners in progress", Afenifere said.

The Afenifere leaders have also applauded outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan for conceding defeat by not tampering with the democratic principles of the country with his acceptance of the Saturday’s presidential election results in good faith.

They noted that such decision now doused the “lies” of foreign seers who predicted the break-up of the Nigeria. According to them, Jonathan had already laid a good foundation and example for coming leaders to follow by accepting total defeat.

“As the first Nigerian sitting head of state to magnanimously concede to defeat, he has demonstrated exemplary courage, laid a precedent of uncommon statesmanship, a rare demonstration of patriotism and sportsmanship. He has thus created a benchmark for our leaders to follow in whatever contest they may be involved in.

“By conceding to victory and not tampering with democratic principles, President Good luck Jonathan, GCFR, has laid a very strong foundation for democracy to thrive in Nigeria and set a good example for other Nigerian leaders to emulate.”

"By that singular personal decision of honorably admitting defeat when counting was still in progress, he had saved Nigeria when it mattered most, as, no doubt, some were warming up to drag out the war drums.

"He doused growing tension, calmed down frenzied nerves, and even though elections were not all over yet, put to lie foreign soothsayers' desire of the disintegration of Nigeria”,

Following Fasoranti, the former Secretary to Government of the Federation and National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Olu Falae said Afenifere leaders have always been on the side of General Muhammadu Buhari and cited his days while contesting under the platform of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) in 2007.

Falae disclosed how he raised almost N21 million for the campaign of General Buhari during the 2007 election with an agreement for the convocation of the National conference if he eventually emerged the country’s president.

The Afenifere leaders have unanimously agreed to visit the president-elect upon his assumption of office in Abuja after the inauguration.

PoliticsIran And EU Announce Framework For Nuclear Deal by mattkelly(op): 8:35pm On Apr 02, 2015
AP) Iran and six world powers have agreed on the outlines of an understanding to limit Iran's nuclear programs, officials told The Associated Press Thursday. Negotiations continued on a dispute over how much of it to make public.

The officials spoke outside weeklong talks that have been twice extended past the March 31 deadline in an effort to formulate both a general statement of what has been accomplished and documents describing what needs to be done to meet a June 30 deadline for a final accord.

A news conference was set for later in the day, when the results of the talks were expected to be announced.

{Related: Iran and world powers agree on parameters of Iranian nuclear deal to be reached by June 30}

European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif were to read out the same statement in English and Farsi. Zarif and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry were then expected to brief reporters separately.

The U.S. and five other countries hope to curb Iran's nuclear technologies that could be used to make weapons. Tehran denies such ambitions but is negotiating because it wants a lifting of economic sanctions imposed over its nuclear program.

Pressured by congressional critics in the U.S. who threaten to impose new sanctions over what they say is a bad emerging deal, the Obama administration is demanding significant public disclosure of agreements and understandings reached at the current round. Iran wants a minimum made public at this point, describing previous two-stage deals as detrimental to their interests, officials say.

The Iranians want any results from talks in the Swiss city of Lausanne described less as a deal and more of an informal understanding.

The officials demanded anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the negotiations publicly.

They spoke after senior diplomats from the six countries negotiating with Iran huddled overnight in strategy sessions meant to advance the pace of agonizingly slow nuclear talks. Iran's foreign minister said the sides were close to a preliminary agreement, but not yet there.

The talks resumed several hours after a flurry of overnight sessions between Kerry and Zarif, and other meetings involving the six powers.

Iran also wants to get rid of sanctions that have stifled its economy. The U.S. and its partners want detailed documents on the steps Iran must take by the end of June on its nuclear program.

As he headed to his own meeting Thursday, Zarif said the talks had made "significant progress." But he said drafts still had to be written.

One problem, said Zarif, was differing voices among the other side at the table — the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany — making it difficult for them "to reach a coordination."

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who left Lausanne Tuesday, said the two sides were close, the Interfax news agency reported. There are "only a few steps left to take or, in some cases, even-half steps, and some things have already been agreed upon," he said.

But as the talks dragged on, one Western official said early Thursday that they were "at a tough moment and the path forward is really unclear," adding that the idea of breaking talks off over Passover and Easter and resuming them next week had been informally raised. That was confirmed by another official. Neither was authorized to discuss the negotiations publicly, and both demanded anonymity to speak.

The talks — the latest in more than a decade of diplomatic efforts to curb Iran's nuclear prowess — hit the weeklong mark on Thursday, shortly before the State Department announced they would go into double overtime from the March 31 deadline for a political framework.

As the sides bore down on efforts to get a deal, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier canceled a planned visit to Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius was also back, less than a day after leaving the city.

By blowing through self-imposed deadlines, President Barack Obama risks further antagonizing lawmakers in both parties who are poised to take their own action to upend a deal if they determine the administration has been too conciliatory.

The initial response to the extensions from Republicans suggested they already reached that conclusion. "It is clear, the negotiations are not going well," Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said in a statement. "At every step, the Iranians appear intent on retaining the capacity to achieve a nuclear weapon."
