The All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party engaged in a war of words on Sunday over hitches in the distribution of the Permanent Voter Cards by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
While the APC alleged that INEC had programmed the exercise to favour the PDP, the ruling party fired back by accusing it (APC) of having a hidden agenda.
The APC, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, said that the fact that most of the states where hitches in the distribution of the PVCs were pronounced had the highest number of voters and were under the control of the APC, pointed to a clear collusion between INEC and the PDP.
The states are Kano, Edo, Ogun, Imo, Lagos, Rivers and Nasarawa.
The party also described the development as a programmed incompetence which could be traced to INEC’s ICT unit, with the intent of sabotaging the PVC distribution process in key states.
It urged the INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, to fish out the fifth columnists behind the sabotage and sanction them appropriately.
The statement partly read, “If INEC is to organise a free, credible and transparent election next February, it must quickly return to the drawing board to fashion out how to ensure that all Nigerians who are eligible to vote are able to do so without hindrance, and also purge itself of the fifth columnists within its ranks who are bent on sabotaging the elections.
“Having realised it cannot win a free and fair elections in 2015, the PDP has come up with the plan to suppress the votes in the APC states which also harbour the highest number of registered voters, especially Lagos, Rivers, Kano and Sokoto states, wondering why the exercise was better organised in states without a huge number of votes.”
The APC also alleged that there was a two-pronged game plan to skew the 2015 general elections in favour of the PDP.
That the first step, according to the party is to mess up the collection of the PVCs in states with the highest number of registered voters so as to suppress the votes in those states.
The second phase is to delay the voter registration in the affected states, so that they will not meet the requirement to participate in next year’s election, since INEC would not have finished the voter registration process in those states.
It also alleged that there was a plot to postpone the elections in the affected states so that the PDP-led government could then use the Ekiti formula that included massive militarisation and widespread intimidation to prevent free and fair elections in the states.
APC dismissed INEC’s excuses for the botched hiccups as lame.
But the PDP, through its National Publicity Secretary , Chief Olisa Metuh, said while it would have allowed the INEC to respond to the APC allegations, it decided to respond because the opposition party was bent on diverting attention from “its bad and suspicious activities.”
Metuh, in a telephone interview with one our correspondents in Abuja, added that while the APC was making accusations, it might also be doing some things which were aimed at rigging the election.
He said, “We are ready for the election. We have a formidable candidate whom we have endorsed.
“Let the APC bring out its own candidate and face us. The APC has a hidden agenda and we have all seen its antics in the past.
“This time around, it won’t work. Whatever evil the party is planning will not work. It might be the one colluding with some people to rig but it won’t work.”
Metuh asked Nigerians to monitor the activities of the opposition party as the battle for the 2015 general elections rages on.
Before the war of words by the two parties, the Civil Society Network Against Corruption and a Lagos lawyer, Jimi Agbaje, had flayed INEC over what they considered as the shoddy distribution of the PVCs by the electoral body.
While the CSNAC described INEC’s performance as abysmal, Agbaje threatened to go to court if disenfranchised as a result of poor preparation by INEC.
The CSNAC Chairman, Lanre Suraj, said, “With the sophisticated nature and population of Lagos State, the performance of INEC is quite abysmal in terms of the disappointment in the PVC distribution.”
Agbaje, who described the PVC distribution as a flop in Lagos, called for the immediate removal of Jega.
He said, “It has been terrible. I will go to court if I’m disenfranchised. I have been there three days and nobody was there to attend to me. I will never allow any political shenanigan to deprive me of my right of franchise.
“This is a deliberate attempt to shortchange Nigerians. Let me use this opportunity to call on the Federal Government to remove the INEC chairman immediately. With the way things are going, if Jega is not sacked, he is going to wreck this democracy.”
But the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Mr. Kayode Idowu, in a statement and an interview with The PUNCH, in Abuja, on Sunday, denied the allegations against the commission.
He also said that the Lagos exercise had been extended by 24 hours.
Idowu said, “In particular, it is completely false that INEC has removed the records of 1.4 million persons from the register of voters compiled in 2011 in Lagos State.
“It is true that at the end of the 2011 general registration exercise, the commission announced a figure of 6.1 million registrants in the state.
“But when that data was subjected to the Automated Fingerprints Identification System software, 82,892 multiple registrations were eliminated.
“Also, there was the technical challenge of loss of data and incomplete data affecting about one million records – mostly in 1,792 polling units that were identified and made public before the present exercise. That was why/how the Post-Business Rule figure for Lagos State (on the basis of which PVCs were printed) came down to about 4.6 million registrants.”
According to him, a pre-acknowledge data loss and incomplete data of some registrants is not a “conspiracy” issue as has been alleged by some individuals.
He said, “It is a back-end technical challenge that is far from sealing the fate of affected persons and for which INEC has already put in place measures to ensure redress.
“The commission has made provision for eligible persons for whom PVCs could not been printed due to data loss or defective data to come out from Wednesday, November 12 to Monday, November 17, 2014 for their data to be recaptured during the CVR.”
Idowu further explained that in special consideration for the 1,792 polling units in Lagos State where the challenge is much pronounced, the CVR will take place at the polling unit level as against the registration area level in other parts of the state.
While reassuring the public of INEC’s unwavering sincerity of purpose, Idowu said the commission regretted the inconvenience caused members of the public by the hitches.
Idowu said, “Contrary to allegations in some quarters, no duly registered person has been delisted from the Register of Voters neither will any be denied his/ her PVC.
“This reassurance is against the backdrop of temporary challenges that have been experienced in the third phase of the distribution of PVCs in some states, which the commission has been making vigorous efforts to remediate.”
According to him, the distribution of the PVCs since Friday November 7 in nine states is under the third phase of the exercise.
He said, “Continuous Voter Registration is scheduled to hold in the same states from Wednesday, November 12 to Monday, November 17 2014. Similar exercises have already been conducted in 24 other states and the Federal Capital Territory under the first and the second phases of the programme.
He added that the commission had deferred the distribution of PVCs in four other states earlier listed for the third phase because printers were yet to fully deliver the cards.
This, according to Idowu, is partly the same reason that the commission rescheduled the distribution of PVCs in limited areas of Lagos and Nasarawa states.
He also said the outstanding cards would however be distributed in good time before the 2015 general elections.
“They are presently being produced and have been scheduled for distribution under the fourth phase of the exercise from Friday, November 28th to Sunday, November 30th, 2014”, Idowu said.
The Minister of Water Resources, Mrs. Sarah Ochekpe, on Sunday also asked INEC to extend the time for the distribution of the PVCs.
The minister told journalists in Jos that the two days earmarked for the exercise in Plateau State was inadequate as some people did not find their names on the register.
She said, “I wish to say that the distribution of the permanent voter cards is successful in Plateau because I am just coming from my village, and I was able to collect mine and that means people in the rural areas were also able to get to get theirs.
“Though it was noticed that there are some hiccups here and there, but I expect that INEC will take advantage of the registration of voters, which starts on the 12th to ensure that those who have attained the age of 18 are registered and also that those who could not find their names in the registers are properly captured.”

http://www.punchng.com/news/13-pdp-govs-reject-deputies-as-successors/



All the 13 outgoing governors of the Peoples Democratic Party have rejected their deputies as their successors, investigations byThe PUNCHhave revealed.
The governors are those of Abia (Theodore Orji), Akwa Ibom(Godswill Akpabio), Bauchi (Isa Yuguda), Benue (Gabriel Suswam ), Cross River (Liyel Imoke), Delta (Emmanuel Uduaghan) and Enugu (Sulivan Chime).
Others are Jigawa (Sule Lamido), Katsina (Ibrahim Shema), Kebbi (Usman Dakingari), Niger (Babangia Aliyu), Ebonyi (Martin Elechi) and Plateau (Jonah Jang).
With the defection of the governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, from the Labour Party to the PDP, the party is in control of 21 states out of the 36 in the country.
The party also won the last governorship election in Ekiti State.
However, the tenure of some of the governors like those of Bayelsa, Kogi, Gombe, Ekiti and Ondo states will not be coming to end in 2015.
Governor of Kaduna State, Ramalan Yero, succeeded the late Governor of the state, Mr. Patrick Yakowa and is asking for a fresh mandate in 2015.
In Taraba State, where Governor Danbaba Suntai, has been out of state functions since September 2012 following the crash of the small plane he piloted, but his loyalists are also up in arms against the acting governor of the state, Mr. Garba Umar, who is contesting for the party’s nomination ticket.
Instead of their deputies, investigations by our correspondent showed that some of the governors had been rooting for their cronies like their Chiefs of Staff, ex-commissioners and secretary to the state governments.
For example, Jang of Plateau is said to be rooting for his one-time Chief of Staff, Sen. Gyang Pwajok while Aliyu of Niger State is also backing his former CoS, Umar Nasko.
It was also learnt that Lamido of Jigawa State is mobilising for his immediate CoS, Aliyu Ringin while Akpabio has not hidden his desire to handover to his former SSG, Mr Emmanuel Udom.
Chief Tony Obuh is also said to be the favourite of Uduaghan as his successor, while Yuguda is backing the candidature of his erstwhile SSG, Alhaji Adamu Alkali, as successor. Obuh, from the Ika South council area of Delta is a retired permanent secretary in the Government House.
Also in Katsina State, Shema abandoned his deputy and asked Alhaji Musa Nashuni to pick form for the governorship race. Nashuni had said that he was in the race to complete the programmes of Shema.
“The governor asked me to contest for the governorship election,” Nashuni stated on Saturday when he was at the PDP headquarters to pick his nomination form.
However, few of the deputy governors have refused to be cowed by their principals’ endorsement of other persons and have obtained the governorship nomination forms.
The deputy governors that have obtained the governorship nomination forms of the PDP include Steve Lawani of Benue, Musa Ibeto of Niger, and Prof. Amos Utuama of Delta.
Speaking with our correspondent, Lawani said he had consulted with Suswam and that he was sure of winning the party’s ticket.
“I have worked very closely with Governor Suswam. I am not a lunatic to have engaged in the race without consulting him. I have received his nod,” he said.
According to him, the people of the state will be safer in his hands.
“I have served the state and I know the in-and-out and I believe I am the right person to govern the state,” he added.
On his part, the deputy governor of Niger State said Aliyu was not in a position to determine if he (Ibeto) would succeed him or not.
Ibeto insisted that the people of the state would determine their next governor.
He said, “Let me say that I do not think that it is by design that governors do not hand over to their deputies. Let me also tell you that there is remarkable difference between 1999 and 2014. You see our democracy has matured to the extent that people determine who succeeds someone in office and not really an individual.
“I believe that as a democrat, I am presenting myself first and foremost to the electoral college of my party, that is the state congress, and I assure you that I will emerge victorious.
“So in that case it is not the governor that will determines whether I will succeed him or not, but the general electoral body in the state.”

His concern has been on how he will return to power next year by any means thereby neglecting everyday killings going on in the north.

The ediot claimed that they had a ceasefire with BH, where is it everyday bombings and killings is what we are seeing.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/nov/10/nigeria-school-bomb-blast


At least 13 people have been killed after an explosion ripped through a school in north-east Nigeria, as students gathered for morning assembly before classes began.
A teacher at the school, a medic and a rescue worker said the blast took place at the Government Comprehensive Senior Science secondary school in Potiskum, Yobe state.
The rescue worker said 13 bodies had been taken to hospital with more than 30 others left “with various degrees of injuries”. There was no official death toll.
“The students had gathered for the morning assembly when something exploded in their midst with a thunderous sound at exactly 7:50am (06.50 GMT),” added a teacher, who asked not to be identified.
“The explosion has affected many students but I can’t say how many because we are now evacuating the victims to the hospital which is just 100 metres away,” the teacher added.
A medic at Potiskum General hospital, where the victims were taken, said scores of students had been admitted.
“We are still receiving casualties from the school which is a stone’s throw from here,” the medic said. “Our priority now is to save the injured, so we have not started a headcount of the victims.”
A local resident, Adamu Alkassim, said there was confusion in and around the school.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but Boko Harammilitants are likely to be the prime suspects.
The group, which wants to create a hardline Islamic state in northern Nigerian, has previously carried out deadly attacks on schools teaching a “western” curriculum.
In February, gunmen killed at least 40 students after throwing explosives into the dormitory of a government boarding school in Buni Yadi, also in Yobe state.
In July last year, 42 students were killed when Boko Haram attacked dormitories in a gun and bomb attack on a government boarding school in the village of Mamudo, near Potiskum.
Boko Haram’s most high-profile attack on a school came in April, when fighters kidnapped 276 girls from the town of Chibok in Borno state, also in north-east Nigeria. More than six months later, 219 of the girls are still being held.
Potiskum, the commercial hub of Yobe state, has been targeted repeatedly by attacks blamed on Boko Haram. Last week, at least 15 people were killed in a suicide bomb attack targeting a Shia religious ceremony in the city.
Yobe is one of three north-eastern states that has been under a state of emergency since May last year to try to quell the bloody insurgency.
But violence has continued and Boko Haram has seized at least two dozen towns and villages in recent months, raising doubts about the government’s ability to control the region.

ayukdaboss:
Some of you on this forum reason like cavemen and cry foul when you get insulted. Borno, an APC State still ranks the worst hit by Bokoharam till date so I wonder what your assertions are about Bokoharam targeting PDP states.

Ribadu's brother has been kidnapped, we're just aware of the news, we don't know the circumstances surrounding his kidnap and you're already accusing APC. What is APC using Ribadu's brother for Mr. Caveman?

With your jurisdiction I'm sure you also think APC kidnapped GEJ's uncle in Bayelsa some time ago...Use your brain next time, if you have any.

Mr brain user, why you dey vex, erry1 get en own mouth you can't have yours and his at same time

DonaldGenes:
Sorry Sir

No truth in politics

DonaldGenes:
I understand that but this should save as deterrent for other politicians to stop making knee-jerk Statement and turn around to say another thing....
And now, APC is making a jest of this

Did buhari say he will contest again after the last election? Make no issue outter this...

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/boko-haram-military-launches-operation-no-mercy-to-rescue-ne/193517/


The Nigerian military whose pride has been deeply hurt by the recent reversals at the hands of Boko Haram terrorists, especially with the loss of Mubi and Vimtim, the hometown of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, has launched "Operation No Mercy" to deal with the marauding terrorists.
The military, findings show, will be more decisive and unsparing in their approach to dealing with the Boko Haram menace and restore the country's territorial integrity.
According to an intelligence source, the military will launch an all out operation against the insurgents, and other criminal elements including those aiding and abetting them.
The source explained that the constant intervention from the political class as well as the barrage of criticisms from Amnesty International and other human rights groups affected military operations, citing how the former Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika was maligned for his aggressive approach, which was effective.
