| Politics › Even As A Gejite I Accept Buhari As President. by OKDnigeria(op): 10:15am On Mar 31, 2015 |
Though the final result of the 2015 presidential election has not been announced, the trend of things suggests that General Muhammed Buhari will carry the day. I supported president Goodluck Jonathan throughout. I still believe he is a far better presidential candidate than Buhari. But since majority of Nigerians chose Buhari, I have to accept it. It's not about GMB or GEJ, it's about Nigeria! I accept Buhari as president (that is, if the court doesn't disqualify him in April). I will pray for him and wish him well just as I did for Jonathan. Because if he succeeds as president, Nigeria will succeed. So let us all accept the result and move on. Shun violence! 9 Likes 2 Shares |
| Politics › I Didn't Lose My Ward, LGA - Adamu Mu'azu by OKDnigeria(op): 6:36pm On Mar 29, 2015 |
The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Adamu Mu’azu, has dismissed reports that he lost his polling unit and local government area to the All Progressives Congress in the Saturday election. The PDP chairman hails from Bauchi State and the immediate past governor of the state. Mu’azu, who took to his official Twitter page to react to the report on the alleged defeat, warned the opposition against falsifying facts. In a series of tweets on his page, the PDP chairman cautioned against lying and circulation of unconfirmed results. He said, “I won my LGA. Stop the lies propaganda. It will not help you. You will only heat up the polity. “We will not watch many of you destroy our beloved country with lies. I urge all Nigerians to ignore lies. God bless Nigeria.” Mu’azu appealed to PDP supporters not to join “propagandist in their attempt to overheat the polity by announcing unconfirmed results.” He said, “Dear PDP supporters, once again remain calm. Their plan is to raise false alarm so they can use it to cause havoc. They will fail as usual. Await results from INEC. God bless Nigeria.” |

A major disaster was averted yesterday in Imo state as a pedestrian bridge built by Governor Rochas Okorocha at Heroes’ Children’s Park collapsed while the governor was on the bridge. According to 247Nigeriannews, the incident happened when the governor stopped over on his way to the Nigerian Union of Journalists Governorship Debate to interact with some students of Development Comprehensive Secondary School, Owerri, who were around the park when he came. Trouble however started when Okorocha beckoned on the students to climb the bridge so he could teach and inspire them on how to become leaders. No sooner had the governor started the teachings, the bridge caved in with the iron bracing of the bridge cut under the weight of the governor and the students and the students started shouting “Jesus! Jesus!!” out of panic. The governor’s aides, especially the members of the security operatives, started shouting to the students: “Jump out!, get down!, jump out!” In the midst of the confusion, the governor appealed to the students saying, “we’re too many here, please jump down”. The was constructed two years ago by the governor’s administration. http://www.naij.com/409005-governor-rochas-okorocha-escapes-death.html |
| Politics › The Kidnapped Chibok School Girls Are In Gwoza, Says Freed Boko Haram Abductee by OKDnigeria(op): 5:55pm On Mar 25, 2015 |
Over 200 girls abducted in Chibok in April 2014 are being held in Gwoza town in Borno State, a woman who was recently released by the Boko Haram sect has told the icirnigeria.org. She said she was held in the same location as the abducted Chibok girls. Mbutu Papka, 56, who was kidnapped in July 2014 and held by the insurgents for eight months in two locations, said confidently that the abducted girls were being held under very tight security in a house in Gwoza. Ms. Papka said nobody is allowed near the fenced building where the abducted girls are being held under 24-hour security. Even the heavily armed guards, who keep watch over the girls round the clock, it was learnt, are only allowed to go into the house to deliver food, water and other supplies to them. The woman was seized along with others when Boko Haram attacked Gwoza on July 4, 2014 and taken to Mdita, a remote village near the notorious Sambisa Forest, bordering Askira Uba, Damboa and Gwoza. The abductees, who included many children, according to Ms. Papka, were kept in Mdita for five months before being transferred to Gwoza, where they were held for three months before they were finally released on March 15. It was while in Gwoza that she learnt that the Chibok Girls, whose abduction has attracted global attention, were being housed in a compound adjacent to where she and other abducted people were kept. Asked how she knew the girls were there, Ms. Papka said she never saw the Chibok girls, but explained that people in the area pointed at the heavily guarded flat and said the girls were inside. Because access to the house was restricted, she said, the girls apparently did their own cooking and chores by themselves. “In the camp at Gwoza, there were clear demarcations between where people were kept. The Chibok girls, other captives and Boko Haram members and their family members all had their separate areas secured, though the security in the area where the girls are kept is visibly different and much tighter,” she said. Ms. Papka explained that the conditions under which the captives in Gwoza were kept were fairly tolerable and far better than the first location, as there was water supply. She said that after they were taken to Gwoza, their living conditions improved remarkably because the town has modern facilities, as opposed to the rustic Mdita. “When we got to Gwoza, things changed because there were facilities there and the place was 10 times better than Mdita. We had a normal life in Gwoza, except the trauma of living in captivity. Whatever we wanted to eat, they were provided. They would bring water, firewood, etc., and leave them outside,” she explained. A few other comforts were provided. “They even provided perfume for anyone who requested for it,” she added. According to her, at Mdita, she met other abducted people including women and children, among whom were many under the age of seven, all living in terrible conditions. “There was a room we used to urinate in and because of lack of water, the place stank and maggots were everywhere. We took our baths once a daily, if we were lucky,” she said. Because of the terrible conditions and absence of health care facilities in the camp, many people fell sick and some died. “There was a Redeemed Christian Church of God pastor who was killed during the attack on our village, and his wife was abducted with us. She died at Mdita due to the condition of the place and the death of her husband,” Ms. Papka said. The pastor’s wife, she explained, had diabetes and, before her abduction, had been on a special diet which could not be provided by the insurgents. Ms. Papka said she and the other women were not raped or assaulted, although she could not speak for the Chibok girls because nobody was allowed to see or interact with them. She also said that the Boko Haram men lived with their wives and children in the Gwoza camp, but kept away from others and cooked their own meals. On March 15, 2015, after three months in Gwoza, Ms. Papka and 10 other older women were taken from the camp, herded into a vehicle and driven to Izge, a village, from where she was taken to her own village on a motorcycle because the road is bad. The ride, however, was not free. “I was asked to pay N8, 000 for the motorcycle ride, which I collected from my family,” she stated. This website also learnt that a two-year old boy was given to Ms. Papka when she was released. The boy, who is reported to be sick and has rashes on his body, has since been reunited with his family, which is now seeking financial assistance to take the child to hospital. “He was crying uncontrollably, so they (Boko Haram) handed him over to me as we were leaving,” she said.

| Politics › APC Presidential Council Sues Fayose For Defamation, Demands For His Impeachment by OKDnigeria(op): 5:32pm On Mar 25, 2015 |
The Legal Directorate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council has dragged the Ekiti State Government before a Federal High Court in Abuja over advertisements by the state Governor, Ayodele Fayose wherein he alluded that the party’s presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), will die in office. The plaintiffs, led by Professor Akinseye George (SAN), are asking the court to compel the Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly to immediately commence impeachment proceedings against Fayose for alleged public misconduct unbecoming of a state governor. The plaintiffs are also asking the court for a declaration that the publications by Fayose acting as the Coordinator of the Goodluck/Sambo presidential campaign organisation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) cited as the 22nd defendant in the suit in several national newspapers using the statutory funds of the state government constituted a breach of Section 95(1) of the Electoral Act, 2010 as amended and were meant to confer undue advantage on the 22nd defendant, PDP presidential candidate, contrary to Sections 102 and 126(c) of the Electoral Act 2010 as amended, Sections 34(1)(a), 35,36 and 37 of the 1999 Constitution as amended. Other relief being sought by the plaintiffs are: A declaration that the contents of the publications referred to in relief 1 above and all other similar utterances by Fayose amounted to gross misconduct under the law. • An order pursuant to sections 95(7)(a) and (b) and 8 of the Electoral Act,2010(as amended) directing the defendants to pay the sum of N1 million and the 22nd defendant to pay the sum of N2 million daily from January 20 until the cessation of the breaches of the Electoral Act complained of herein. Alternatively an order directing the 23rd defendant, the Inspector General of Police (IG) to investigate Fayose pursuant to Section 95 of the Electoral Act 2010(as amended). • An exemplary and aggravated dama ges of N50 billion for malicious falsehood contained in the several advertorials and publications which said sum will be used to enhance the course of ethical and responsible journalism. The plaintiffs through their counsel, James Ocholi (SAN), who is leading three other Senior Advocates of NIGERIA are further asking for a retraction of all the offensive publications complained to be published 10 times on the front pages of major international magazines, television and local newspapers with prominent headlines. In their statement of claim, the plaintiffs, averred that the defendants were sued as being vicariously liable for the gross misconduct and errant behaviors of Fayose, who is also the Coordinator of the South-west branch of the Dr. Goodluck Jonathan/Sambo presidential campaign organisation with a religious background in white garments church, claimed to be an evangelist at a point, and one of his aides prior to the offensive publications complained of, had forged a medical certificate continuing falsehood on the state of health of Buhari, the presidential candidate of the APC. The statement also read: “Fayose, whose agents slapped the Chief Judge of Ekiti State and desecrated the judiciary before his election, listed three former Heads of State all from the North-west geographical area of Nigeria, who died in office as Presidents or Heads of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the said publications are pleaded and shall be found useful at the hearing of the suit. Cited in the suit as the 1st to 23rd defendants are Idowu Adelusi, the Chief Press Secretary to Fayose, the Government of Ekiti State, the Attorney-General of Ekiti State, the Speaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly, the State’s House of Assembly, Ado Ekiti Local Government, the Chairman Aiyekire Local Government Area, the Chairmen and the following local governments in the state, Ekiti East, Ekiti South, Ekiti West, Emure, Ido Osi, Ijero, Ikere, Ikole, Ilejemeji, Irepodun, Ise/Orun, Moba, Oye. Other defendants are PDP and the IG. No date has been fixed for the hearing of the suit. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/apc-presidential-council-sues-fayose-others-for-defamation/205019/ |
| Politics › I Will Never Forgive Buhari's Sins - Adebanjo, Afenifere Leader by OKDnigeria(op): 12:16pm On Mar 20, 2015 |
Afenifere leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, says he can never forgive the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), because of the sins he committed against Yoruba leaders while he was head of state between December 1983 and August 1985. The 87-year-old, who was a close associate of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, said Buhari locked up all the Yoruba governors after overthrowing the Shehu Shagari government. Adebanjo said this at a post-National Conference in Lagos titled, ‘Into tomorrow and beyond’ on Thursday. He said, “Back then, Awolowo warned Shagari that his government would soon hit the rock if he did not put things in order. Shortly after, in December 1983, Buhari overthrew the government but the man that was speaking against Shagari (Awolowo), was harrassed by Buhari. “Buhari picked up all the Yoruba governors: Adekunle Ajasin (Ondo State); Olabisi Onabanjo (Ogun) and others, who were true progressives and locked them up. “Somebody said I am a Christian and I should forgive Buhari but I said I cannot forgive such. Ajasin’s children say they have forgiven Buhari but I am not in their party, I can’t forgive him.” Adebanjo said the North was against the implementation of the resolutions of the confab because the region was enjoying the system which is unfavourable to southern Nigeria. He, therefore, urged Yoruba to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan next week as he had promised to implement the report of the confab. He also dismissed claims that he and other Afenifere leaders had been bribed by Jonathan. He said, “I am saying vote Jonathan not because he is Ijaw or from the South-South. No northerner will convoke a national conference because everything we are talking of that has been unfavourable to the South; they (North) are the beneficiaries.” www.punchng.com/politics/i-can-never-forgive-buhari-says-adebanjo/ |

The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate for Lagos State, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, on Saturday said the party would use the remaining days before elections to fast and pray for victory. Ambode made this known while addressing APC members and supporters in Lagos, who engaged in a 9.2km walk. He addressed the APC members and supporters at the Teslim Balogun Staduim, Surelere, Lagos, where they ended the walk. “We will commit the remaining days before the elections to fasting and prayers and ensure that APC gets 100 per cent votes,” Ambode said. Ambode said APC had proven a point with the walk. According to him, the party will give prosperity to Nigerians, if voted for. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the walk tagged “March For Change” was flagged off by the National Leader of the party, Chief Bola Tinubu, at Maryland at 8.00a.m. The walk terminated at 1.05p.m. at the stadium. In his address, Tinubu, appealed to Nigerians to vote for the party’s candidates in the forthcoming general elections. Tinubu, the immediate past Governor of Lagos State, said the party’s presidential candidate, retired Gen.
