marieolae: What a waste of money. Is this really needed? People don't need to be air conditioned when they are in a haste to get their destinations. Nigerians and their irrelevant ideas.

It's only for NDDC staff and clients.

It's not for public use, but for NDDC.

.

It is situated at the front of NDDC headquarter near GRA junction Aba road, PortHarcourt. It constructed by NDDC for easy movement of their visitors and clients to their office from the other side of the road. It's fully air conditioned and secured.

lonelydora: He should use the money for charity instead. He can also use the money and increase INTEL workers salary, instead of wasting it on this fruitless journey he's about to start.

You're right.

I just picked some pictures of the event from TV which is not clear enough.

Half bread is better than none.

egift: I bought a truck load of towel. Oya all the TANiods, line up and start collecting.

You need deliverance.

Mynd44: No source, no pictures...

I know you you're looking for scrappy picture as an excuse to push this nonsense thread to front page, while a thread like this was left to die in politics section.

As far as I'm concerned this thread contravenes rule number 8 : which said, Don't post false information on nairaland. But everybody in nairaland knows that these people flout the rules and go free because they belong to the untouchable party.

So unfortunate

This is a picture I took from my TV during ARSENAL vs SOUTHAMPTON yesterday night. Why didn’t he do the same if he's sincere.

priscaoge: It's now Shekua's impersonator and not Shekua himself?

All these half-baked rumour mongers in this country,keep feeding Nigerians with fake gist since God knows when #Smh!

I disagree with you, DSS spokeswoman, Marylin Ogar has in different occasions stated that the man parading himself as Shekau is fake. The original Shekau is long Dead.
The news is straightforward.

barcanista: Please can we have links to all these?

Exactly what I'm waiting to see.

Longeria: This is the beginning of the end for boko haram and their sponsors.

You're right. The DSS has repeatedly said that the real Shekau had been killed long time ago, so the one killed is his imposter.

As the news about the possible killing of leader of the dreaded Boko Haram Islamic Sect, Abubakar Shekau, is yet to be officially confirmed, members of the terror organization are in total disarray and surrendering in droves to the Nigerian military.

While the Security agencies are yet to officially name some of the top terrorists who were said to be killed in recent operations in Konduga, including the alleged Shekau's impostor, more suspected insurgents have continued to surrender with their weapons to the troop.

According to the statement from the Defence Headquarter's (DHQ) twitter handle, another set of 10 terrorists surrendered Monday to the Nigerian security forces at Kawuri, Borno State and has since been taken into custody for further interrogation.

Slncere9gerian: Nigerians say NO to Buhari!

This statement is relevant now than ever before.

Caseless: idiat!

Is that your father's name?

Also speaking, the Chairman, PDP-GF and Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio, stated that the ruling party was set to take over the South-West from the opposition.

He said, “We have started winning the South-West and, by the grace of God, Lagos will soon fall and become a PDP state.”

In the same vein, Vice-President Sambo, said the South-West, and Lagos State in particular, had benefitted a lot from the present administration in terms of infrastructural development.

He urged the people of the zone to support Jonathan in 2015 as they supported him in 2011.

The opposition All Progressives Congress however expressed its disapproval of the event.

The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Lai Mohammed, said, “Whatever name that rally was held under, one thing is clear; it is a campaign. It is a violation of our electoral rules.

“And when you see a President becoming the chief law-breaker in a country, you cannot start talking about the rule of law in that country.

“It is unfortunate that the INEC has not got the courage to check this illegality. With what has happened, I don’t see how we can then sanction any other party that does a similar thing.

“It is a pity because this President has no respect for any laws. And his desire for re-election has blinded him to all other things. It is unfortunate.”

But the Independent National Electoral Commission on Saturday said all parties were flouting the electoral laws by engaging in such activities outside of the stipulated timeline for campaigns by law.

The Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Kayode Idowu, said this in response to SUNDAY PUNCH enquiry on INEC’s view on the Lagos rally.

“The rules on electoral campaigns are there; all parties are flouting those rules, without exception. All parties across the divide are flouting those rules. Why they are flouting the rules is that there are gaps in the law.

“The guidelines we are preparing are intended to bridge (this). The law states that the period for a political party to campaign is 90 days before elections. You can begin to debate: What is the difference between a political party and another entity that isn’t? What is the implication?

“Another thing is that the law does not talk about candidates. So, you can begin to debate: Who is a political candidate? What about if it is the candidate? There are many gaps that can be exploited and the political parties have been exploiting those gaps,” he said.

Idowu said the guideline, which INEC was preparing, would be tabled at the quarterly meeting held by the commission and all political parties this month. He added that they would be expected to make final moves towards the validation of electoral guidelines.

President Goodluck Jonathan might have kicked off the campaign for his 2015 reelection bid despite his insistence that he has not declared his ambition.

Indications to this effect emerged on Saturday at the South-West sensitisation rally organised by the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos.

Although the President who attended the rally said it was not a political campaign, he used the platform to make a strong case for his reelection come 2015, even as he stressed the achievements of his administration.

President Jonathan attended the rally with members of his cabinet, PDP governors and national leaders of the party, who repeatedly called on the audience to vote for the President in 2015.

While Jonathan was cheered on by the crowd, Vice-President Namadi Sambo, the PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu and other top members of the party told the crowd the President deserved a second term.

In his speech, the President who was adopted as PDP’s 2015 presidential candidate, thanked the leadership of the party for choosing him as its candidate.

Adding that he had the right to refuse the offer, Jonathan said the decision to endorse him for the 2015 presidency was made by the party and that no member of the PDP could dictate who became what in the party.

He said, “I also have the right of refusal and I thank the party for giving me the opportunity. The idea of the rally is for us to come together; for us to see our faces and for us to dance together, so that we will know that we all belong to one political party; the largest political party in Africa.”

At the Lagos rally, President Jonathan reeled out his achievements. He said he had established a Presidential Jobs Board and that the board would “ create three million jobs in the next one year. That means in a few years, we would solve the problem of unemployment.”

The President also scored his government high on the provision of infrastructure, as well as construction and rehabilitation of roads and railways.

He said his government had created opportunities for Nigerians to participate in the oil sector more than ever before.

He also thanked the leaders of the PDP in the South-West for winning Ekiti State governorship election, saying the party was working hard to win in all states in the zone.

He said, “I thank Ekiti people for returning the state to the PDP. There is no single PDP state in the South-West, yet you remained committed. We thank you for that position and surely you will be rewarded. We are here to bring our members together but we will surely return for campaign. When you are in Lagos, you are addressing the whole country because all Nigerians are represented here.

“We continue to promise to transform Nigeria; make changes and never go back. We need all Nigerians to work with us. In the next few years, unemployment will continue to drop. We are totally committed to changing all sectors of the Nigerian economy.”

Speaking at the event, Mu’azu said all members of the party were committed to Jonathan’s second term bid and that it was a reward for the President’s “achievements in the first term.”

He said, “We choose Lagos for this rally because it is the most populated and hosts most of the economic activities in the country. It is to reflect our unity in the South-West and as a result of the unity, we have started recovering our states in the South-West. And in 2015, we will win more states.

“Everybody knows that the PDP controls the majority of the people in the South-West. Therefore, we are saying in 2015, we will take over more states in the South-West.

“Mr. President, we want to assure you that because your first term has been so transforming, by the grace of God, people of South-West and the people of Nigeria will reward you in 2015 by re-electing you as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

“All leaders and members of the party are committed to your coming back as President and we pray that Almighty God will favour us.”

Longeria: Disappointing their master, Buhari when he needed them most.
Too bad.

Abi?

customized07: Lagos stood still for jonathan's visit today, had the privilege of taking pics of heavy traffic on eko bridge because of his visit. PDP will surely win 2015, the crowd he pulled was magnificent. Up PDP

Op, you mumu o o.

barcanista: that was hw they made noise in Ekiti until Fayose did his own

Yes o o.

donphilopus: In whose honor are they there?! BTW, I'm watching it now and discovered that most of them are speaking Hausa. If it were APC now, y'all would have termed it an Islamic Party. Hypocrites!

Ordinarily, I wouldn't have quoted you because you're a TANoid. However, I've dignified you!

Dignify me? You must be joking.
TAN movement is only pressuring jonathan to declare for second term, not even a campaign. I wonder how it will look like during campaign. You people jittery, because, the hand writing on the wall is getting clearer to you people.
Wait o o, I thought NORTH EAST is a no go area for Jonathan.
