PoliticsWhy Jonathan Approved Ceasefire Deal With Boko Haram by ShehuAba(op): 9:18pm On Oct 17, 2014
President Goodluck Jonathan’s
commitment to end insurgency,
ensure security and peace in
Nigeria is the driving force for all
engagements and negotiations with
the extremist Boko Haram sect, a
government spokesperson, Mike
Omeri, has said.
Mr. Omeri, the Coordinator,
National Information Centre, said
this on Friday while giving update
on the ceasefire agreement reached
between the Federal Government
and Boko Haram sect to end
insurgency in the country.
“We can confirm to you that there
have been contacts between the
government and representatives of
the Boko Haram.
“The discussions are essentially in
the relation to the general
insecurity in the North-East and
also the need to rescue all captives
of the terrorists, including the
students of Government Secondary
School, Chibok.
“From the discussion, they,
terrorists, indicated their desire for
and willingness to discuss and
resolve all associated issues,’’ he
said.
According to him, they, terrorists,
also assured that the school girls
and all other people in their
captivity are all alive and well.
“Already, the terrorists have
announced a ceasefire in
furtherance of their desire for
peace. In this regard, the
government of Nigeria has, in
similar vein, declared ceasefire,’’
he said.
The coordinator assured Nigerians
that the greater goal of the process
was to ensure the return of
normalcy to the country, especially
in areas affected by the terrorist
activities.
Mr. Omeri said the negotiation was
being facilitated by President Idris
Derby of Chad, adding that the
essence is to end terrorism, free
the Chibok girls and all those in
captivity.
He said “no condition’’ was
attached on the release of the girls
and others.
According to him, one of the
commanders of the sect, Danladi
Ahmadu, is representing the sect in
the talks, while the Principal
Private Secretary to the President,
Hassan Tukur, is representing the
government.

PoliticsRe: Declaration is today: Buhari’s Loyalists by ShehuAba(m): 4:57pm On Oct 15, 2014
Well that's by the way.
Seun needs to be unbiased especially as we approach the election year.

APC 'Big boys' flood Buhari's Declaration

Top members of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), including four
governors, were at the Eagle Square
in Abuja on Wednesday for the
declaration of Muhammadu Buhari, to
seek the party’s nomination for the
2015 presidential election.
This contrasts sharply with the
declaration of his rival, Atiku
Abubakar, which was not attended by
any senior member of the party.
At Buhari’s declaration were
Babatunde Fashola, governor of
Lagos; Tanko Al-Makura, governor of
Nasarawa; Rotimi Amaechi, governor
of Rivers state; Adams Oshiomhole,
governor of Edo state; George Akume,
former governor of Benue state;
Olorunnnibe Mamora, former speaker
of Lagos state.

But Kano governor, Rabiu Musa
Kwankwaso, who is also seeking the
party’s nomination, was absent.
Buhari expressed appreciation to
those in attendance, promising to
transform the nation if elected.
He said the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) had lived
below expectation, lamenting the
high rate of poverty and insecurity in
the country.
“I want to pay tribute to Nigerians
who are enduring all sorts of
hardship and degradations on a daily
basis,” he said.
“Many are grappling with extreme
poverty and barely eking out a living.
Nearly all are in living in the fear of
their lives, also of their friends and
family, due to insurgency by the
godless movement called Boko
Haram.

“Ladies and gentlemen, it is
everyone’s duty to resolve and help
overcome these immense challenges.
I will like to appreciate members of
our armed forces under the new
leadership. I will also like to
commend the police for their efforts
in confronting these challenges.
“I will also like to thank our
supporters up and down the country,
for their perseverance and resolve in
face of the oppressive PDP
government.
“This is an occasion to celebrate our
effort and resolve to continue until
victory is won. I humbly wish to
present myself before you, before all
Nigerians and before God, seeking to
be elected as APC’s presidential
candidate.”

He said unlike the ruling party that
lacks democratic tenets, APC has put
in place structures to ensure free and
fair polls during the primary election.
“We have worked very hard in the
last 18 months to put up structures
from the polling units, to wards, local
government, state and the center,” he
said.
“These structures will lead to free
and fair polls. There is no point in
holding elections if they are not free
and fair.

“The interference in the wish of the
people, which PDP has practised
since 2003, is the worst form of
injustice. Denying people their right
to appraise their candidate. Whether
they like it or not, injustice cannot
endure.
“Since 1999, PDP has presided over
our country’s decline. Nigeria, in my
experience, has never been so
divided, so polarised by an
unthinking government, hellbent on
ruling and stealing. We in the APC
are resolved to stop them in their act
and rescue Nigeria from the
stronghold of PDP.”

Since 2003 when Buhari has been
contesting for the country’s highest
office, he has been emerging second.
In 2003 and 2007, he contested
under the platform of the All Nigerian
Peoples Party (ANPP) and lost to
Olusegun Obasanjo and Umaru Musa
Yar’Adua, respectively. But under the
Congress for Progressive Change
(CPC) in 2011, lost to Goodluck
Jonathan.

The hatred you guys managing the politics section have for Buhari is clear for all to see. After all Seun has stated in many threads that he doesn't want the general back in Aso rock, for some reasons best known to him.

As I earlier advised Seun, no matter what you guys do, what will, be will be.

But, history will judge you guys for not been faithful and truthful to your country when you ought to be, history will judge you for trying to twist issues to suit your taste just because it's your forum.

Politics2015 Presidency: Buhari To Declare On Wednesday by ShehuAba(op): 2:45pm On Oct 13, 2014
2015 Presidency: Buhari declares
Wednesday


Former presidential candidate of the
defunct Congress for Progressive
Change (CPC) General Muhammadu
Buhari, will on Wednesday, formally
declare his interest in the
presidential ticket of the main
opposition party in the country, All
Progressives Congress (APC). The
event will hold at the Eagle Square in
Abuja.


Buhari’s declaration, initially fixed for
last Wednesday, was shelved in order
to give the party’s faithful ample op­
portunity to prepare for the Adamawa
governorship election, which has
since been aborted by the judgment
of a Federal High Court in Abuja on
the governorship of the state. Checks
revealed that another presidential
aspirant in the party and incumbent
Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa
Kwankwaso, will make his formal
declaration next week Thursday.


Addressing newsmen at the weekend,
in Abuja ahead of Wednesday’s
event, members of Buhari Support
Group, declared that about 5 million
supporters of the presidential aspi­
rant across the country, would grace
the occasion to show fidelity to the
ambition of the APC national leader.
National Secretary of the group,
Mallam Ibrahim Dauda, declared:
“The epoch-making formal
declaration of General Buhari next
week, will witness the unprecedented
attendance of not less than five
million passionate supporters of the
General.

In fact, the Eagle Square is
envisioned to be choked to capacity
and overflowing, as the deluge of
Buhari’s supporters will besiege the
nation’s capital to demonstrate their
love, support and solidarity for the
man whom they regard as the sym­
bol of leadership change that the
generality of Nigerians desperately
yearn for.”


Mallam Dauda urged the national
leaders of the APC to ensure that
General Buhari picks the party’s
ticket, as he noted that the former
presidential candidate of the defunct
ANPP and CPC in the presidential
2003, 2007 and 2011, respectively
was the most formidable aspirant in
the APC.

“It is our candid desire and
mission to convince the entire APC
members and supporters in Nigeria
that General Muhammadu Buhari is
indeed, the best presidential
candidate for the APC in the
forthcoming general elections. He
has been tested and trusted; and is
the only APC presidential candidate
that actually has the political clout,
charisma and pedigree to give the
Peoples Democratic Party.” (PDP) a
good run for its money.”

Nice one from Saraki.
Indeed you've spoken well.
This is a welcome development.

It's our duty as Nigerians to make this change we envisage feasible.

Come 2015, APC is gonna occupy Aso rock.
PoliticsWhy I Won't Run For Presidency In 2015- Saraki by ShehuAba(op): 9:25pm On Oct 12, 2014
Being statement by Senator Bukola Saraki announcing the
suspension of his presidential ambition. This was adapted from
his Facebook page.



After months of wide but careful deliberations and
consultations with my family, friends, political associates and
supporters, today, I am announcing the suspension of my
Presidential Bid in the interest of our country and party. As it
stands, I have been deeply humbled by the spark that my
prospective candidacy has ignited among Nigerians across
Nigeria and abroad; Young people, youth groups, and
stakeholders from all geo-political zones have sought the
change that they wish to see. These young people by their
overwhelming support have not only encouraged my candidacy,
they have endorsed the change that they desperately crave.
As complicated as the political outlook of 2015 currently
seems, now is the time for well-meaning Nigerians from all
works of life to fall-in-line and become rank-and-file soldiers
in our struggle to reclaim our nation. I have always maintained
that I did not leave the ruling party for the opposition because
of any personal interest; Anyone who understands Nigerian
politics would know that it takes serious courage, rugged
doggedness and self-sacrifice to do that. Therefore, whether it
is on the issue of the party or all other issues that I have been
pushing in my position as a Senator of the Federal Republic,
the primal purpose that drives me is the desire to see a better
and more purposely governed Nigeria.
Fixing Nigeria cannot be done by any an individual effort,
because fixing Nigeria is an assignment that goes beyond the
power of any individual or party; it is beyond individual’s
ambition and zeal. Fixing a nation like Nigeria with daunting
challenges that have accumulated over the years, will take a
combined effort.

Due to this, I believe that as we move forward
to the next elections, now is the time “for every patriotic
Nigerian, particularly those in the political terrain to base their
ambitions and interest in the context of the country’s overall
interest.”
In any healthy democracy, several people will always compete.
Even at that, by virtue of the notion of completion, only one can
emerge at the end of the day. What this means is that several
others may be left disappointed. To my party-men and women,
to all our candidates competing for the highest office in the
land, we must remember that as we move on to take the lead in
this fight for the future of our great country, our party cannot
afford too much internal rancour going into next year’s election.


Therefore, some of us need to make personal sacrifice and be
part of the solution rather than parts of the problem of the party
– and in turn, the country.
This explains why some of us feel that we must make
necessary sacrifices and contribute immensely to building a
strong and united party that provides the only real alternative to
the floundering Government that has become too constipated
on power and lost touch with the realities that ordinary
Nigerians grapple with everyday.
Moving forward, we need to change the way the country is run;
we need change in our security and the values we place on
human life; we need to change the current disgraceful situation
in security and corruption. And I believe only the APC can bring
about this change and give our country the leadership that it
deserves.
But we must not stop here. To bring about this change, we
must knock on doors, and travel far and wide and spread the
ideology of a new Nigeria. We must let Nigerians know that as
we seek their mandate as a party and as politicians, they must
hold us accountable for the promises that we make during
election time. We must let them know that gone are the days of
politics-as-usual, empty-promises-as-usual and stomach
infrastructure instead of tangible and progressive change.
Because of this, we must chart a new course. As a party, we
must establish a CONTRACT WITH NIGERIA that sends a
message that change is coming, and change is ever-so-close…


But we, as the custodians of our own future, have to grab our
change by taking our collective destiny into our own hands at
the ballot box. I continue to stand committed to progressive
and successful Nigeria. I continue to remain committed to my
supporters, and thankful for their unwavering encouragement
over the last few months. I thank my family, loyalists, followers
and groups across the country such as Save Kwara Forum,
Members of New Nigeria Generation, ABS Vanguard, The Nigeria
Positive Change Group, All Progressive Youth Forum, Project
Nigeria first, Nigerians in Diaspora Group and others too
numerous to mention that have urged me to join the
presidential race because of their belief in my ability to fix this
country, I say do not be disappointed as a result of this
sacrificial decision i have taken in the interest of our country. I
thank the other Presidential aspirants and leaders on the
platform of the APC who have sat down with me to discuss
ways of moving this nation forward. All our candidates stand
head and shoulders over the leadership that we have today –
and I know that they too are dedicated to fixing Nigeria…


To reiterate and wrap up, as Nnamdi Azikiwe once said: “We
must do for ourselves what others hesitate to do for us.”
Because of this, I speak directly to every Nigerian when I say:
change is a joint effort. Change will not happen by shying away
from the ballot box. Change will only occur when we, as
Nigerians, decide – as one – that we want change, and nothing
will deter us from having it.
We must keep hope alive and be assured that who ever will
receive my support and endorsement will be someone who
believes in our aspiration, interest and yearning for a better
future for our teaming youth. I hereby reinstate my commitment
to the interest of the youths being protected and secured so
that at the end of the day, everyone will speak with one voice
that we will all be proud of. Thank you for your time.
