Politics › New Opinion Poll Projects Tinubu’s Victory, Says Apc’ll Win 19 States by OsunOriginal(op): 6:57am On Feb 21, 2023 |
According to a newly released poll conducted by the Freddan Continental Services, the APC flagbearer would coast home to unassailable victory in 19 states in the Saturday’s presidential election. “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is projected to clinch nine states and the Federal Capital Territory while the Labour Party (LP) is tipped to win in eight states. The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) is not favoured to win any state, even though it came second in Kano. The poll, published on the firm’s website – https://freddancontinentalservices.com – said the APC candidate is favoured to win by 37 per cent of respondents in the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. It said the poll was conducted between January 7 and February 11 2023, using phone and online surveys. A total of 370,000 questionnaires were sent out, the firm noted, adding that 287, 033 were returned. Of the lot, 106, 764 respondents (37.2 per cent) were said to favour Tinubu’s emergence as President. According to the survey, candidate of the LP, Peter Obi is favoured by 92, 127 (32.1 per cent) of the respondents, while former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the PDP polled 88, 109 (30.7 per cent) in the survey. The NNPP candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, secured 693 (0.23 per cent) in the survey. The group said its team of data analysts, who conducted the poll, used four key variables, including political geography, religion, resources, and class. The report said: “The survey was conducted via a combination of online and phone surveys. Our online surveys were administered through a secure web platform, and phone surveys conducted by trained staff, who are proficient in the three major Nigerian languages of Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba. In both cases, the surveys were designed to ensure that the results are accurate and unbiased. “We also focused on areas, such as the spread of the political parties, the incumbency factors in states, religion and the personality of the candidates. “We also identified, in the course of our online poll, the role of social media influencers, religious leaders, professional organisations, and the young population of voters and how it can impact on the victory of each of the leading candidates.” The poll is projecting victory for Tinubu and APC in six of the North-West states, including Jigawa (41 per cent), Kano (37 per cent), Kaduna (37 per cent), Katsina (51 per cent), Kebbi (39 per cent) and Zamfara (48 per cent.) It said PDP’s Atiku Abubakar will take Sokoto (46 per cent) The poll also gives Tinubu victory in three North East states of Borno (67 per cent), Yobe (61 per cent) and Gombe (47 per cent). The survey projects victory for PDP in Adamawa (57 per cent), Bauchi (44 per cent) and Taraba (37 per cent). In the North Central, the survey forecasts Kogi (43 per cent), Kwara (51 per cent), Niger (43 per cent) and Nasarawa (46 per cent) for the APC candidate. While LP is projected to win Plateau (35 per cent), the survey said PDP would likely take Benue, with LP also making a decent showing (32 per cent). In the South West, the survey gave all the states to the APC, with the party doing well in Ekiti (54 per cent), Lagos (52 per cent), Ogun (53 per cent), Ondo and Osun (48 per cent each), and Oyo (59 per cent.) In the South-East, Peter Obi and the Labour Party are the clear favourites, according to the survey, polling 63 per cent in Abia and Anambra, 57 per cent in Ebonyi, 56 per cent in Enugu and 59 per cent in Imo. In the South-South states, the survey tips PDP to win in Akwa Ibom (48 per cent), Bayelsa (45 per cent),Delta (43 per cent) and Edo (39 per cent.). Labour Party is projected to win in Cross River (40 per cent) and Rivers (52 per cent.) The survey gives the PDP the victory in the Federal Capital Territory (39 per cent), with Labour Party taking the second position (33 per cent). https://www.sunnewsonline.com/new-opinion-poll-projects-tinubus-victory-says-apcll-win-19-states/ |

DukeOfOsun: NEWS RELEASE 20/02/2023
Naira Redesign: Governor Adeleke Meets CBN Officials, Calls for Sanctions against Banks Hoarding New Naira Notes
● We Thank Governor Adeleke for Maintaining Peace-CBN
● We Have Issued Queries to some Banks - CBN
The Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke has warned against hoarding of new naira notes by commercial banks, calling on the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to sanction financial institutions involved in such anti-people activities.
Addressing CBN officials in his office, Governor Adeleke decried the increasing shortage of the new notes, explaining that he has been deploying state network to douse tension and ensure safety of banks and the CBN state office.
According to the Governor, his intervention in the last few weeks had ensured that Osun state is saved from increasing conflict across some South Western states, expressing unhappiness at the current hardship the people are experiencing.
"The situation is getting out of hand. The CBN must act fast. Any bank hoarding the new notes must be sanctioned. We should not treat such banks with kid gloves.”
"My people are patient but we should not take their patience for granted. That is why I called for this meeting. Why is the new notes not available? Is the supply small or inadequate? ", the Governor querried.
He expressed the readiness of his government to partner with the CBN for the currency swap, informing the CBN team that the state is sacrificing a lot to maintain peace and calm frayed nerves.
"The new notes are not available. Even as a State Governor, I don't have the new notes. You can see how hard it is for our people to access the new currency if their Governor is not getting them. We should not overstretch the cooperation we are enjoying from the citizenry. We are expected as elected and appointed leaders to respond to the needs and aspirations of our people ", Governor Adeleke admonished.
Responding, the CBN state director, Oluyemi Adeyemi in response commended the state Governor for his proactive steps that has saved the state from naira related riots.
"We must thank Mr Governor for reaching out to the people, for diffusing tension, for keeping the state peaceful. We aware of the day Mr Governor stopped some angry youth from demonstrating and from attacking the CBN office.”
"On our part, we are working hard to make the new notes available. Let me say that the CBN has issued queries to some banks. I assure Nigerians that we are working hard to make the new notes available" , the CBN official stated.
The meeting set up a monitoring mechanism between the state government and the CBN to ensure allocated new notes get to the populace.

Politics › Nigerians Should Accept Principle Of Power Rotation Between North & South - ACF by OsunOriginal(op): 2:27pm On Feb 20, 2023 |
he Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has called on the Nigerian government to commit to delivering a fair, transparent, credible and hitch-free election. It said that though citizens have the right to choose whatever they believe to be in their best interests, Nigerians should also “accept the principle of power rotation between north and south.” The Forum advised Nigerians to shun schemes whereby a president or state governor handpicks their successor, saying “nothing promotes entrenched corruption, cronyism and poor leadership more than such schemes as such dubious arrangements”. Murtala Aliyu, ACF Secretary General, said this in a statement issued in Kaduna. The statement reads, “The nation will never be able to identify and select good leaders among its people so long as some dubious people are allowed to manipulate the selection of candidates and the ultimate election processes, we must cast our nets far beyond our ethnic, religious or geographical interests. "A leader does not have to come from our tribe, zone, region or religious persuasion. We should seek for leaders that best cater for our national interests, and who are elected within the tenets of democratic processes. The tenants that allow people to choose leaders who will best cater for interests of the generality of the people, NOT their individual personal or the interests of their ethnic or religious groups. “When 17 State Governors from Southern part of Nigeria, and from different political parties met last year and demanded that a southerner must be elected as the president of Nigeria, the heavens did not fall. It was accepted that as we are in a democracy, they were entitled to their views and opinions. “Quite recently also, some 14 northern Governors belonging to the ruling All Progressives Congress Party, (APC), came out with the announcement that they had committed themselves to ensuring that a candidate of their party from the southern part of the country is elected president of the country. “Their reason was that the emergence and subsequent election of a person from the southern part of the country will serve to entrench the principle of North/South power rotation in Nigeria. “Though the principle of power rotation is still largely and somewhat controversial, nonetheless, under our democratic dispensation we must reconcile ourselves to accepting that Nigeria is a country for all its citizens, and each citizen has right to choose whatever he or she believes to be in the best interests of themselves and their followers. At the same time, however, they also have to accept the principle of power rotation between north and south.” https://saharareporters.com/2023/02/20/nigerians-should-accept-principle-power-rotation-between-north-and-south-arewa?fbclid=IwAR3_bkO1s7vdMQUM7T5gUd6kW3NWmXrtkOgxtdSN4ZpD-Jon0V3ScyvjFKo |

What will Buhari be saying tomorrow in Lagos after all the havoc he has caused in the country and problems he created for everybody contesting under the APC? Buhari decided to burn the bridge that made Aso Rock possible for him. In his crude, naive, parochial and selfish mind, he is hiding behind reducing the influence of money in elections to frustrate the chances of Tinubu and other people contesting for positions under the APC. I think we need more of El-Rufai in Nigerian politics. People who will always speak the truth and are ready to be upstanders regardless of who is involved.
I don't think an average APC supporter would want to see Buhari near the podium tomorrow. His recent deeds and actions can't be forgiven even if he releases two national broadcasts per day in support of Tinubu. |

The governors are not alone in the legal war with Buhari over the old currency notes. The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has filed a lawsuit against the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), over “the unlawful directive banning the use of old N500 and N1,000 banknotes, contrary to the interim injunction granted by the Supreme Court that the old N200, N500, and N1000 notes remain legal tender.”
Joined in the suit as defendants are the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, and the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The PUNCH reports that the Supreme Court in a case initially brought by 10 states recently held that the old banknotes remain legal tender pending the determination of a motion on notice fixed for February 22. The deadline for the swap of the old notes expired February 10.
However, Buhari in a national broadcast on Thursday directed the CBN to recirculate only the old N200 banknotes, banning the use of old N500 and N1,000 notes in the country.

ALMUSTAQIM: OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI ON NAIRA REDESIGNING AND FUEL SCARCITY, BY AREWA YOUTHS SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT (Copied)
Your Excellency, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
We regret to write this letter to you to express our anger and disappointment over the way you have been handling state matters, particularly your contrived fuel scarcity and naira redesigning policies, in recent times. We intentionally used the words "your contrived policies" in this context because we are sure that you conceived these policies in cahoots with a select cohorts of the people that live on you without the knowledge of your party's leadership. Unfortunately, these policies are capable of burning the nation down and innocent Nigerians suffer while your party is held responsible for your conduct and harsh policies that the party knows nothing about in your attempt at the contrived Northernisation of the Nigerian Presidency, which we ordinary Northerners condemn in strongest terms.
We are particularly pained because we young people from Northern Nigeria once saw you as a pride and role model, almost as a god, particularly considering the discipline that you brought to bear as Nigerian Army General well trained in the best tradition of the military that sees the unity of our great country as a primary responsibility of the Nigerian Armed Forces. You demonstrated this as a young Nigerian officer while pursuing a career in the military. You also brought this discipline to bear as military Head of State. The respect and honour in which we held you was responsible for our supports during the times you contested for President on many occasions without success until the unthinkable happened in alliance with some patriotic Nigerians from the South West who shared same vision with us to see you emerge as the democratically elected President to preside over our affairs in Nigeria.
However, events in the last few months have demonstrated clearly that you have betrayed our trust in the manner you have handled very sensitive state matters that ought to be of an utmost importance to you to enable you live up to your image as a disciplined military officer with an eye to preserve the unity of the country where all Nigerians see themselves as brothers and sisters.
Your Excellency, some of us in the North had never had the opportunity of travelling to Lagos all our lives until your primary election at the Teslim Balogun Stadium where you emerged as the presidential candidate of the APC. Even though many of us at that time did not belong to any political party, we struggled to save money to make the journey to Lagos just because we love you. Some of us travelled in the night in trailers struggling to share space with rams and goats to witness your emergence in Lagos. We slept on bare floors in solidarity with you. We listened to our leaders and elders about the laudable roles played by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to ensure your emergence as the APC candidate after discovering that you were a better candidate than Atiku Abubakar, who we learnt had political relationship with Tinubu in the past.
We cannot claim ignorance of the gentleman agreement that power will be rotating between North and South as recommended by the National Constitutional Conference and adopted by both PDP and APC. We Northern Youths believe and have faith in that arrangement that will preserve the unity and peace of our dear country.
We believe in the power rotation between North and South. Your party is in power today, the other parties will also have their turns tomorrow but we believe in the sanctity of power rotation for the unity and peace of the country.
We are therefore shocked to observe in the last few weeks that you have changed completely from what we knew you to be as a man of his words and a disciplined elderly statesman that won't compromise his integrity for whatever pressure to now constitute a threat to the unity of Nigeria.
We never knew you to be a selfish man, but latest developments have convinced us that you are so, with due respect, Your Excellency.
Your Excellency, you will wonder at the extremity of our outbursts; we have no choice but to come out forcefully to express our disappointment and anger on how you are deliberately creating problems for young elements in the North on how to relate faithfully with their Southern counterparts in politics in future. With the way you are handling State matters of recent, you are creating distrust among Northern and Southern Nigerians.
When you were at our age, you spent that youthful age to preserve the unity of Nigeria by fighting in a brutal civil war to hold the country together, the dividends of which we are all enjoying today, and which enabled you to be elected President by the cooperation and support of our Southern brothers and sisters. We are therefore shocked that at your old age, you are now promoting circumstances that can provoke a war that will destroy the relationship between the North and South.
We have listened to some decent elders in the North, notably Alhaji Tanko Yakassai and Governor Nasir El-Rufai, among several others, on how they ventilated their anger over your outrageous clandestine support for the breach of agreement reached at the National Conference and adopted by PDP and APC in the nation's power rotation between North and South, by hiding behind some economic policies supposedly for the benefit of all Nigerians. In any case, we appreciate all Northern Progressives governors for standing firm in their support for power rotation to the South.
While your recent policies may appear good, we are wise enough to note that such economic policies no matter how good in the long run are not undertaken and should not be undertaken during election year. But for the reasons best known to you and those who forced the ideas down your throat, you agreed to be part of the script to put the party that helped you to power in jeopardy, shame and defeat. Unfortunately, all these hawks pushing you to create problems for your party are elements that are working with the opposition and they are people that can't win councillorship election in their constituencies. No politician that is prepared for election victory will attempt what you are doing in election year, not even in the Banana republics where anything can happen.
Unfortunately for the Arewa young politicians, other sections of the country have now seen your action as a deliberate act orchestrated by the entire Northern people to retain power in the North at all costs, which has potential for hostility towards us Northern young elements in politics. We young people in the North are not with you on this sir.
Your Excellency, you are not being fair to us young elements in the North. How can you serve out your terms peacefully with Southern Nigerians and all you have for us in the North is to have the hostile Southern counterparts to contend with after your departure? We wonder why you are pretending or behaving as if you don't understand the voting behaviours of Nigerian voters after the presidential election victory. If those pushing you won't tell you the truth, the truth is that whichever party wins the Presidency takes victory in other elections in a winner-takes-all election behaviour among Nigerian voters. If the anger you are stoking against your party manifests in this kind of a scenario, you are not only putting the chances of your party at risk as the ruling party, you are also putting the political fortunes of thousands of APC's Northern candidates at the governorship, National Assembly and State House of Assembly at greater risks as a bandwagon effect of forced victory you seem to be plotting against your party. Yet, these people you want to make victims of this conspiracy are the people who toiled day and night to ensure your victory working with our compatriots in the South to make your victory happen.
We are aware of the activities of those who lost in your party's primaries and how they have held you prisoner in Aso Rock, taking critical decisions for you. Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, a bosom friend of PDP vice presidential candidate, Ifeanyi Okowa, from the same Agbor in Delta, has been widely reported working for PDP through General Ibrahim Babangida who sold the policies on naira swap and dislocation in fuel supply chain, which you are faithfully implementing, and which they know will have negative effects on the chances of your party in the general election. Babangida is a member of the opposition. He has a willing tool in Emefiele after losing the opportunity to contest in your party. This is a fact known to all Nigerians. These people are selfish. They are working to ensure the downfall of your party to their advantage. They don't mean well for young Nigerians who have over the years formed alliances on the nation-building through students union activities, among other relationships. That you defer to the Cabals in the Aso Rock is not in the best interest of the young people in the North. The totality of how you have handled the fuel and naira redesigning policies points to a deliberate action to make Nigerians develop hatred towards your party so that Nigerians will vote against your party that many of our young people all defected to because of you as a shining light in the North. They all left their former political parties to join you in APC where they had hoped to pursue their political careers to support your welfarist policies for Nigerians. The reason why you are joining those that are plotting the downfall of your party beats our imagination. You are basically not fighting for the interest of the North; you are creating a threat to the political survival of young people in the North.
People will query our interest in having your party to continue to govern Nigeria. The reason is that for now, APC is a party predominant in the North. This is the party our people hope to use to achieve their political aims to serve the people in the North. There is no conference where it was decided that the North must hold on to power against the agreement on power rotation. The APC Northern governors had spoken the minds of Northerners on power rotation to the South. That position has not changed. In the next eight years, we will be talking about power coming back to the North. Whichever party, APC or PDP, that has a better candidate will be supported to represent the North at the Federal level.
Your Excellency, we feel so sad that after we risked our lives fighting to ensure your victory to be President, at your departure in Aso Rock, you embarked on actions that will force Nigerians to hate your party and our current APC leaders that you will leave behind in the party to be stranded politically. This is not fair, to say the least.
We had thought that you would do everything possible to endear Nigerians to your party and not creating conditions that will make Nigerians despise the party. We note in particular the sacrifices made by your Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in ensuring your victory after unsuccessful presidential contests in the past, more so his role as a father figure to a vast population of Northern young people in Nigerian politics.
Today, Nigerians and other decent people of the world are outraged by your blatant disregard for the ruling of the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court, which ordered a suspension of the naira policy until the issue is disposed of in court. Unfortunately, fellow Nigerians in the South have interpreted your conduct as a deliberate action to stoke anger against your party so that a Northern candidate in the opposition party can win the election as a Northern agenda. This is dangerous for the unity of Nigeria. We don't want a Northern Agenda that will endanger the political careers of young men and women of Northern extraction. The signals already coming from the Eastern Nigeria are dangerous and ominous for the nation's unity. In these trying times, the South West is the only stabilising force that is responsible for the little unity we are enjoying in the country. We wonder what will become of that fragile unity with your behaviour suggesting that you are prepared to show ingratitude for their support that ensured that you succeeded to be elected the President of the Federsl Republic of Nigeria.
Can you fault Nigerians down South thinking that way? Never! With due respect sir, you are the first President in the history of human race that will support and promote acts that can set voters against your party in an election year. We are the more bothered because at the end of the day, Northern young politicians will find it impossible to extract trust from their Southern counterparts in any future political alliances.
Your Excellency, in a nutshell, you have not only betrayed the trust of all Nigerians who worked for your victory, you have also endangered the political future of young Northern elements in Nigerian politics. When exactly are we in the North going to be free from the accusation by other Nigerians that Northern leaders love to create crisis situations anytime power is going South but a smooth transition when power moves from South to the North.
But we want to place it on record that we shall hold you personally responsible for whatever fate befalls Nigeria as tension over fuel and naira redesigning chokes Nigerians ahead of the February 25 presidential election. We shall also hold you responsible for whatever becomes the fate of young Northerners in Nigerian politics over your divisive conduct in cahoots with the hawks that have no political reckoning in their constituencies.
We want to assure all Nigerians that the young people in the North have no hand in President Muhammadu Buhari's policy implementation that has potential to divide Nigeria. We believe in the policies and morals of Alhaji Ahmadu Bello, Alhaji Tafawa Balewa and Mallam Aminu Kano in driving Nigeria's unity through honesty, discipline and integrity. We never believe in the desecration of the law by disobeying the Supreme Court in pursuit of our political goals.

voiceoftheupcom: Obi’s candidacy tainted by ethnic chauvinism, he’s not democratic – Tambuwal
Aminu Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto, says Peter Obi, standard-bearer of the Labour Party (LP), is not “democratic enough” to be president.
Tambuwal, who is the director-general of the PDP presidential campaign council, spoke at the party’s campaign rally in Yola, the capital of Adamawa.
Makesense Media report that, The Sokoto state governor said among the candidates contesting to be president, Abubakar alone has the capacity to “lead Nigeria to the promised land”.
Tambuwal said Nigeria “cannot afford” to vote for presidential candidates who have not gathered the required “experience at the federal level”.
“The argument has been made, issues have been joined and it is clear that only Atiku and Okowa are prepared to lead this country in a united manner. Atiku is competent, he has the capacity that we require today. We must not make the mistake of voting for APC again,” he said.
“I will not talk about Labour because their candidate was the governor of Anambra state, he was not able to conduct one single local government election.
“I challenge the Labour people to bring that record where Peter Obi was able to conduct a local government election, so how can he now be attempting to be president of Nigeria when as governor he could not organise local government elections? He is not democratic enough. In any case, his candidature is tainted by ethnic chauvinism and we know what that will portend for Nigeria.
“In any case, his party has not been able to even field enough candidates for national assembly elections. And in any case, they have not been able to muster agents over the 170, 000 polling units”.
Tambuwal asked the youths at the campaign ground to “ensure that they mobilise” their parents to vote for Atiku Abubakar in the presidential election.
