Following entreaties by the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe Aladesanmi 111, foremost lawyer, Aare Afe Baba­lola (SAN) and the Catholic Bishop of Ekiti, Right Revd. Felix Ajakaye and others, Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has lifted the suspen­sion placed on the Secretary to the State Government, Dr (Mrs.) Modupe Alade.

The personalities pleaded on behalf of the SSG during the celebration of the 25th coronation anniversary of Oba Adejugbe Aladesanmi in Ado- Ekiti yesterday.

The SSG, who was sus­pended some days ago for three months by the governor has therefore been pardoned and asked to resume duties to­morrow.

Setting the tone for seeking pardon for the SSG, the Ewi said his joy on the occasion would not be complete if the governor did not accede to the request.

In his response, the gov­ernor said he had no choice other than to defer to the emi­nent personalities, but warned against indiscipline on the part of public officers and civil ser­vants. He noted that though he is a kindhearted governor, he would not compromise disci­pline.

Babalola, who was the chairman on the occasion, had listed the qualities that made Fayose excel as a governor.

“He is kind and listens to advice and wise counsel. He does not say he is the governor and would lord it over every­body. When the tipper drivers had issues with him over the N1000 levy, the drivers came to me to intervene and I called the governor on the phone. Though he was in Afao-Ekiti, he came down to Ado-Ekiti, and heeded my plea on behalf of the drivers and reduced the levy to N500,” he said.

He described Fayose as a realistic and pragmatic person, who has brought those quali­ties to governance. He said with the dwindling revenue base of the government at all tiers, those in leadership posi­tions have to put in extra ef­forts to meet the yearning and aspirations of the people.

“Thank God that we have a governor that is realistic and pragmatic. When he says yes it is yes, and when he says no it is no. We have a governor that is truthful, honest and transparent, and that has been helping us in the state. It has also manifested in the recent award given the state govern­ment. We have 36 states in the federation and a survey was conducted on budgetary implementation, and the Fay­ose-led government was rated as the most transparent in the country. Those states that call themselves big rated low on the scale. This shows that the governor has been handling the affairs of the state well,” he said.

Babalola, who is also the founder of the Afe Baba­lola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), called on the people to return to the farm, saying agriculture was the surest way out of unemploy­ment and poor revenue in the country.

In his speech, Fayose, who was the guest of honour, promised to attend any simi­lar event organised in honour of any traditional ruler in the state.

“The governor is for all tra­ditional rulers and people of the state. I want to assure our royal fathers that an occasion like this is not limited to Ado as many of our royal fathers who are having such a great event like this, the governor is at your beck and call. Ado is central to us as a state and I am for all royal fathers and any event that tells the history of your existence, I will always be part of it. I also promise that by God’s grace, the new Ojaba Market, if not complet­ed by this time next year, will be near completion,” he said.

In his remarks, Oba Ad­ejugbe Aladesanmi 111 thanked Fayose for his tre­mendous efforts at develop­ing Ado-Ekiti and the state at large.

“Ado people cannot thank you, Governor Ayodele Fay­ose enough. You have helped us a great deal and we pray that God will continue to sup­port and bless you.

Fifteen traditional rulers in Ayedade, Irewole, Isokan and Ife North Local Government Areas of Osun State yesterday stormed the Osogbo office of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) to protest power outage in their communities.
The traditional rulers, led by the Olufi of Gbongan, Oba Adetoyese Oyeniyi Odugbemi, lamented that their towns have been in darkness for several months and demanded immediate restoration of power.

They said youths of their various domains threatened to attack their‎ palaces if they fail to do something about the problem. They insisted that they would not go back to their various palaces without a promise from the power holding company to restore power to their communities.
The communities include; Ikire, Apomu, Ikoyi, Odeyinka, Orile-Owu, Araromi-Owu, Gbongan,Akiriboto Oke, Akiriboto Isale, Oluwada,Wakajaye, Ogbaaga, Ode-Omu, Oogi, Tonkere, Lasole, Edunabon,Maro, Yakoyo, Ipetumodu, Ashipa and Akinlalu.

The Olufi of Gbongan lamented that they wrote to the company on November 7, over the issue but that they did not receive any response. He lamented that businesses of many residents in the communities, especially those of artisans ‎have suffered adversely due to lack of electricity.
He said: “The youths don’t believe us anymore. They think we are doing nothing about the situation and soon they could go crazy if the problem is not addressed.”

The IBEDC Regional Technical Manager for Osogbo, Engineer Salami Waheed, pleaded with the traditional rulers to pacify their subjects, saying power outage in the areas was not deliberate‎. He attributed the problem to an explosion at the Ife station.

The Principal Manager of the Transmission Company of Nigeria in Osogbo office, Mr. Ade Odukale, assured that before end of the week, power would be restored to the affected areas.

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has again advised President Muhammadu Buhari to be equitable in the appointments of people into positions, reiterating that Mrs Amina Zakari headship of the Independent National Electoral Commission, is dangerous to the
country’s electoral system.
In a dramatic manner, Fayose also appointed a 72-year old Carpenter and illiterate, Mr Olatunde Afolayan as the caretaker chairman of Moba Local Government.
Fayose, also sworn in members of the State Independent Electoral Commission, headed by a retired Chief Judge of the State, Justice Kayode Bamisile , to be able to conduct local government elections before the end of the year.
After administering the oaths on the appointees in Ado Ekiti on Friday, Fayose told President Buhari to remove Mrs Zakari as INEC’s Acting Chairman , while also urging him to be equitable in appointing the National Electoral Commissioners that would preside over the sensitive body.
Commenting on his resolve to conduct local government election, latest by December this year, Fayose said members “of this honourable commission must be men of impeccable characters. So, whoever has anything against any of the members must come forward to prove it and if you do I will remove such person immediately.
“It baffles me when leaders make their in-laws or friend or relations members of electoral body. This is immoral.
“ I have criticized President Buhari for making Mrs Amina Zakari the head of INEC in the country based on certain reasons and I cannot afford to toe the same line. So, the people I have here are those that can do us proud. I urge you to discharge your duty without fear or
favour”.
Afolayan, who was sworn-in as caretaker chairman of Moba local Government , was inaugurated alongside Mrs Omolara Bayode Ayeni and Mr Owolabi Ajewole, who were to superintend over Ikole and Ijero Councils respectively, following resignation of those that had earlier
appointed by the governor.
Fayose said many of the champions of democracy in Nigeria depends on illiterates to survive during electioneering campaigns , lamenting that “some of us used to get to the positions and forget these people.
“In my government, whether you are educated or not, you will get something. The vote of a professor and an illiterate is the same. So, under my administration, those who are not educated can rise to any level they want”, he said.
The governor had right inside the hall where the inauguration was performed appointed a graduate from the Ijero local government to serve as Personal Assistant to the new council boss.
Afolayan, who commended the governor for the kind gesture said, what he expected was for the governor to make him a ward chairman, promising to surpass the records left behind by his predecessors to justify Fayose’s stand that local people are intelligent and visionary.
“I had never gone to school for a day, but that does not diminish my intelligence. I may not be educated or certificated, but I have brain and experience to pilot the affairs of the council.
Tactically referring to the refusal of former factional speaker of the Ekiti State house of assembly, Hon Dele Olugbemi to reject his membership of the House of Assembly Service Commission, Fayose said it was only God that saved him for the recent impeachment contrary to the claim of some people, he accused of double dealing during the crisis.

ABUJA- FORMER Federal Commissioner for
Information and South South leader, Chief Edwin
Clark, yesterday lampooned the Presidential
Candidate of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, General Muhammadu Buhari, retd who said
that he will not probe leaders who have been
overseeing Nigeria’s affairs from 1999 till date,
saying that with that position, Buhari had nothing
to offer Nigeria and not sincere with his anti-
corruption crusade.

Addressing Journalists yesterday at his Asokoro
residence, Abuja, Chief Clark
said that Buhari’s
declaration was an indication that him and
others in the APC were bare- face liars,
hypocrites, dishonest, insincere and lack integrity
to govern Nigeria as a country, just as he
stressed that his moves were to protect those
around him whom he alleged were corrupt and
facing charges in various forms.

The Elder Statesman called on President
Goodluck Jonathan to as a matter of urgency
sack the Chairman of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Lamorde as
well as carry out a total re- Organisation of the
Commission if it must carry out effective
discharge of its saddled responsibility of
investigating and prosecuting corrupt Nigerians.
Clark who noted that the anti-graft agency has
failed to prosecute corrupt persons past
officials of government, stressed that the
Commission only go after those involved in
cyber and petty crimes.

The elder states man however listed as corrupt,
former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Speaker
of the House of Representatives, Aminu
Tambuwal, former Governor of Kwara state,
Senator Bukola Saraki, Governor of Rivers
state, Rotimi Amaechi and former FCT minister,
Nasir El Rufai, just as he said that because
these Nigerians were in Buhari’s camp, he has
now promised not to probe them if he becomes
the President of the country.
Others on Clark’s list include, Governor of Imo
state, Rochas Okorocha, Governor of Kano
state, Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso, former
Governor of Lagos state, Bola Tinubu and
former Governor of Adamawa state, Murtala
Nyako; Senator Danjuma Goje, Senator Saminu
Turaki, Senator Abdullahi Adamu and Professor
Babalola Borishade.


The APC Presidential candidate, Muhammadu
Buhari who spoke in Hausa in Kaduna during the
zonal rally held at the International Trade Fair
had said, “On the issue of past corrupt leaders
facing trials in various courts across the
country, I would allow the courts to decide on
those cases, but whoever that is indicted of cor­
ruption between 1999 to the time of swearing-
in, would be pardoned. I am going to draw a line,
anybody who involved himself in corruption after
I assume office, will face the music.”

According to the Chief Clark, the implication of
Buhari’s statement was that those who were
facing corrupt charges or alleged of corruption
before May 29, 2015 would be pardoned and it
was so because there was already a fight in
camp of APC, adding that those funding his
campaign were beginning to question him
whether he will prosecute them when he gets
into power.
The Elder Statesman Clark who noted that
Buhari changed the tune of his music as to
when he will begin his fight against corruption
because of the big names who are with him,
said that the APC was not qualified to fight
corruption contrary to what Buhari had said
during his campaign.
Clark said, “General Muhammadu Buhari has
always anchored his campaign promises on two
planks: to wipe out insecurity and corruption.
With the renewed offensive against the
terrorists leading to the killing and dislodgement
of the Boko Haran anarchists, the first campaign
plank of Buhari has been given a technical knock-
out by President Goodluck Jonathan and the
whole world is witnessing the reclaiming of all
territories hitherto held by Boko Haram.
“This leaves him on a one-legged platform. Again
on the remaining plank; corruption, General
Buhari himself got jittery and gave himself
another technical knock-out when he said that
he will not probe past leaders. With this
development, Buhari has conceded that he has
nothing more to offer the good people of this
country.


“I am puzzled to hear Buhari say that ‘whoever
has been indicted o corruption between 1999 to
the time of hid swearing-in would be pardoned.
According to him, like a village sports man, he will
draw a line, anybody who involves himself in
corruption after he assumes office on May 29,
2015 will face the music, while no matter how
corrupt a person has been before then, he/she
would be asked to go and sin no more.
“One wonders if the man, Buhari knows what
the law says about corruption. Will General
Muhammadu Buhari’s proclamation take the
effect of law?

“The declaration of Buhari clearly shows that he
and his co-travellers in APC are bare-face liars,
hypocrites, dishonest, insincere and lack integrity
simply because they want power and are bent
on pursuing to psychotic level.
“What is Buhari really afraid of? Why is he
promising a blanket pardon to all corrupt office
holders before the election? Is that his new
selling point? Supposing it was possible for
Buhari to win election which is not, can he start
the fight against corruption with himself and his
APC cohort since most of them are already
standing trial in court.Why can’t he be bold
enough to colla spode by its name? I believe that
0 corrupt person by whatever name is still 0
corrupt person. And there are more corrupt
people in the society today who
ore members of the APC. Suffice to quickly take
0 mental excursion into the allegations against a
few of them if Buhari is oblivious of these facts.
On allegation of corruption against Obasanjo,
Tinubu, others, Chief Clark who said he was
waiting for them to drag him to court,
specifically stated that when Buhari was the
Federal Commissioner of Petroleum, the sum of
USD 2.8 billion went missing under his watch.
According to him, all the allegations against the
eminent leaders of APC were within the
knowledge of the anti graft agencies but were
not being investigated and prosecuted spiritedly.
According to him, “had the agencies charged
with fighting corruption been up and doing, no
one will accuse President Jonathan of not doing
enough to fight corruption. Given that nothing
substantial is being done, one is primed to advise
Mr. President to immediately reorganize the
EFCC for effective discharge of its mandate.
“In all advanced democracies, anti-graft agencies
would swing into action following the kind of
revelations and allegations against most people
walking free on our streets today

Unfortunately, our own anti graft agencies have
simply adopted a ‘sidon look’ position”.
On former President Obasanjo, he said, “One
recalls that in a petition to the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by the
Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP)
against the former president Obasanjo, he was
accused of robbing the country of over USD$
900 billion and about N 1 .4 trillion.
“According to the petition, between 2000 and
2006, Nigeria lost over USD$130 billion
unaccounted revenue when Obasanjo illegally
superintended over the Ministry of Petroleum
Resources as its Minister while holding sway as
Nigerian President. It further noted that the cost
of corruption under Chief Olusegun Obasanjo
reached. earth- shaking proportions as
Obasanjo withdrew well over N 1 trillion
“unauthorized and unappropriated by the
National· Assembly from the NNPC and
federation occounts.” adding that it regarded
those withdrawals as gross economic and
financial crime."

On Buhari, Chief Clark said, “As Federal
commissioner (Minister) of petroleum, the sum
of USD$2.8 billion dollars’ went missing under his
watch. It has become clearer now that the
Shagari government (1979-1983), incurred
Buhari’s wrath when it decided to investigate the
USUSD$2.8 billion that disappeared from the
Midland Bank, London account of the Nigerian
National Petroleum Cooperation, (NNPC), during
General Obasanjo’s era as military head of
state. The late Senator Olusola Saraki headed
the Senate Committee set up to trace the
stolen money after some three years of
clamour for such an investigation by members
of the civil society. The Committee’s report was
presented to the Senate during the tail end of
Shagari’s regime in 1983, so the House decided
to deal with the matter and expose the military
head of the NNPC soon after the 1983 general
elections. But Buhari and his co coup plotters
overthrew that government and that ended the
probe.”

On Tambuwal he said, “While former Speaker
Dimeji Bankole was arrested by the EFCC in his
house, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal was noted to
have hid himself over night in the chambers of
the House to evade arrest for alleged corrupt
practices as the then Deputy whip of the House
of Representatives. Thereafter, he was elected
the speaker. Why has the EFCC not concluded
the investigation into those allegations? What did
he really do? Nigerians need to know, what
happened that a whole Honourable Aminu
Tambuwal would evade arrest by a law
enforcement agency.”

The PDP Governors Forum on Monday said that
the party will win elections in all the states in the
south of the country including Lagos.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
the Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Akwa
Ibom, Godswill Akpabio said this at a meeting of
the forum in Lagos.


Speaking to newsmen before the commencement
of the meeting, Mr. Akpabio said the PDP will win
on first ballot because it was a national party.
“Forget the propaganda you see. We are on
ground and we believe PDP will win.


“PDP is the party to beat. We are not panicking
because we have presence across 120, 000 polling
units across the nation.


“We are in Lagos because Lagos is a strategic
place. We have to re-strategize to ensure free,
fair and credible elections.



“We came to brainstorm on how to win the
election,” he said.
He re-assured Nigerians that the party will ensure
that the elections were credible.
“We intend to discuss everything concerning the
election. We have a responsibility to ensure the
stability of Nigeria and Nigerians because we are
the party in power.



“PDP is not callous to create problems in Nigeria,”
Mr. Akpabio said.
Also Speaking, Gov Jonah Jang of Plateau called
on INEC to be sure of the effectiveness of the
card reader before using it.
“INEC said they could not use the card reader in
the Osun election because it was sensitive but
between the national election and Osun election,
which is more sensitive,” he queried.
NAN reports that also at the meeting were Govs
Liyel Imoke of Cross River, Seriake Dickson of
Bayelsa, Ibrahim Shema of Katsina and Olusegun
Mimiko of Ondo.






Others are, Govs Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti,
Ibrahim Dankwabo of Gombe, Mukhtar Yero of
Kaduna and PDP governorship candidate for Lagos
State, Mr Jimi Agbaje.
The spokesperson for the PDP, Olisa Metuh, had
told PREMIUM TIMES that the party expects to
win in at least 29 states out of total 36.

LAGOS —In an unprecedented move, the Governor of Imo State and Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has admitted Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, the governorship candidate of the All progressives
Congress, APC, in Lagos into the Forum ahead of
the polls scheduled for April 11.


The action, said to be prophetic, took place
during the town hall meeting at Amuwo Odofin
Local government yesterday where Governor
Okorocha said he was very sure of the victory for
Ambode at the forthcoming election as the people
of Lagos have already accepted him.


He said: ‘’Ambode, a man with a track record of
excellent performance who served for 27 years in
Lagos as Auditor General of Local governments
and later the Accountant General of the State is
the best thing to happen to Lagos.
‘’He possesses the wealth of experience to take
Lagos to the next level.’’


He charged all the Igbos in Lagos to cast their
vote for this man of destiny who God has
prepared for this season. He noted that their lot
will only be better under an APC-led government
in Lagos. He later presented Ambode and the
deputy Governor candidate, Alhaja Adegbule to
the people.


Ambode thanked Okorocha and all the people in
attendance at the meeting. He promised to
complete at least 25 roads in all the local
government in four years. He also promised
accelerated and all encompassing development for
Lagos.

Hbd 2 Nairaland. #march4buhari

The Centre for Social Justice on Monday
expressed worry over what it described as the
continuous violation of the provisions of the
Electoral Act as regards campaign financing by
the two main opposition political parties – the
Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives
Congress.

The Lead Director, CENSOJ, Mr. Eze Onyekpere,
while briefing journalists in Abuja on the
development, said both parties had so far spent a
whopping N4.97bn on publicity, to market their
presidential candidates.


He said the N4.97bn so far spent on campaign
for the presidential candidates of both political
parties was a gross violation of the provisions of
the Electoral Act.


The Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) provides a
ceiling on campaign expenditure of candidates.
At the presidential level, it limits the candidates
to spending not more than N1bn while it goes
further to provide sanctions for spending above
the ceiling.


The sanction is a maximum fine of N1m or
imprisonment of 12 months or both.
But Onyekpere said findings by the group revealed
that both parties had violated this provision and
should be sanctioned accordingly.
For instance, he said between December 2014 and
February 2015, the PDP had spent N3.55bn on
publicity alone while that of the APC for the same
period stood at N1.42bn.


Giving a breakdown of the expenses, he said of
the N3.55bn, the PDP spent N1.05bn on
campaigns in the print media to market President
Goodluck Jonathan while adverts in non-print
media was put at N2.5bn.

For the APC, he said the party spent N332.58m
in the print media, campaigning for Maj. Gen.
Muhammed Buhari(retd.) while the non-print
media expenses were put at N1.09bn.
Onyekpere added, “Although, declining oil prices
contributed to Nigeria’s deteriorating macro-
economic fundamentals, the coincidence of
campaign spending and the acceleration of the
deterioration brings to the fore the inextricable
link between election spending and the health of
the economy.
“With the attention shifted from governance and
a lot of expenditure on campaigns, the state of
the economy in terms of depreciating exchange
rate, inflation and reduced economic growth are
bound to occur.”
Eze called on the Independent National Electoral
Commission in collaboration with security agencies
to caution both political parties.

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has
warned workers in the state not to be deceived
by Governor Ayodele Fayose’s claims of gloomy
financial position of the state.


The party said the governor had been laying
claims of poor financial state “to deceive and deny
workers of their entitlements.”
APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, in a
statement on Monday said the advice became
imperative because Fayose had been using over-
bloated debt figures as alibi for the government’s
failure to pay salary and other obligations to
workers.


Olatubosun said monies saved from hundreds of
Ekiti workers sacked and the bond debts payment
suspended for six months as well as several
promotions that were reversed and cancellation of
empowerment schemes should have been enough to pay workers entitlements, particularly as
allocations payment was regular.


“It is good that Ekiti people know the kind of
governor they have. In one breath, he said he
spends N1.4b to pay salary monthly. The next
minute, he said it is N1.6b in the same broadcast,
which gave him away, as usual, as a man playing
games with the lives of Ekiti people. All these
mathematical gymnastics are callous
demonstration of breach of faith in government
and the governed relations,” he said, adding:
“What is the governor doing with full monthly
federal allocation to the state when the bond
debt repayment has been suspended for six
months? 300 members of Traffic Management
Agency have been sent packing. 800 members of
Volunteer Peace Corps have been relieved of their
jobs.


“Social Security scheme for 20,000 old people
receiving N5000 every month each has been
cancelled. This is apart from the over 20,000
Youth Volunteers earning N10,000 monthly who
have also been disengaged by Fayose.
“Many of the youths who were trained in various
skills under the Fayemi administration by Odua
Skills Acquisition Centre have been abandoned by
Fayose while the programme has been replaced
with a pedestrian concept of stomach
infrastructure.


“Teachers’ special allowances for rural postings
and core subjects have been abolished while
workers, including primary and secondary school
teachers, who were promoted since April last
year, had their promotions reversed.
“The security agencies are no longer well-funded,
leading to the current armed robbery cases across the state. Streetlights are turned off at 10.00pm on the excuse of the cost of fuel,
thus paralyzing night life and causing insecurity as
well as putting in jeopardy late night business
activities in the state capital,” he added.

Another press release from Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose. See below...

"Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has
said that the All Progressives Congress (APC)
and its presidential candidate, Major General
Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) no longer have moral
rights to participate in the March 28
presidential election having lied to Nigerians on
several occasions. According to a press
statement issued in Ado-Ekiti by his Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New
Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor noted with
dismay the contemptuous manner in which the
APC and Buhari hold Nigeria and its people.

The governor, who vowed that Nigeria will never
be ruled by deceit, said; "In saner climes, you
can't lie and be discovered to have lied repeatedly
as done by the APC and still want to stand for
elections." He said; "The new deceit from the APC
is to use a photoshoped picture of Buhari for
posters in Lagos, making him look like a 50 year
old man, whereas he is as old as my mother and
cannot survive the rigours of office even as a
governor not to talk of President of Nigeria."

He noted that it was appalling that despite being
found to have lied on several occasions, the APC
has never deemed it necessary to apologise to
Nigerians for trying to deceive them. His words;
"First, the APC Vice Presidential candidate, Prof
Yemi Osinbajo, a supposed pastor posted picture
of Reinhard Bonke crusade on his Twitter Handle,
claiming that the picture was that of APC
campaign rally in Kano.

"Second, the APC claimed that Buhari made a
surprise visit to Chibok and went further to lie
that the people and parents of Chibok girls were
filled with hope and joy upon sighting Buhari and
his entourage, and escorted him into Chibok with
singing and dancing.

"Third, the APC cabal claimed that Buhari
travelled to the United Kingdom on a working visit
and used fake pictures to back up their lies that
Buhari met with ex-British Prime minister, Tony
Blair and had a television interview in London.
"Even when Buhari's wife admitted that her
husband was in the UK to rest, the APC cabal
went on with their lies, using pictures taken in
Transcorp Hilton, Abuja as proof of Buhari's
activities in London. "If a party and its candidate
could lie so brazenly as done by the APC and
Buhari, do they still have moral rights to want to
rule Nigeria?

"God forbid, can Buhari and his APC cabals that
are not truthful about their existence as human
beings be trusted to be truthful to Nigerians if
they take over power?"

receiving United States Secretary of
State, John Kerry, in Lagos... on Sunday

The United States has advised Nigeria against
postponing the general elections scheduled for next
month.

The US Secretary of State, Mr. John Kerry, gave the
advice after he met the candidates of the Peoples
Democratic Party, President Goodluck Jonathan
and All Progressives Congress Maj. Gen.
Muhamadu Buhari (retd.) in Lagos on Sunday.

Kerry said that the US would deny entry visa to
any Nigerian politician responsible for fomenting
violence during the February elections.
He urged the Federal Government not to postpone
the elections as being canvassed by the National
Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.).
The secretary of state said, “Given the stakes, it’s
absolutely critical that these elections are
conducted peacefully.”

Kerry was in Nigeria to urge the political class to
respect the outcome of the February 14 presidential
election.

He explained that Washington was concerned
that post-election violence could undermine the
stability of Nigeria and hamper the fight
against terrorism.
It will be recalled that three days of rioting
trailed the 2011 general elections which saw
Buhari losing to Jonathan.
Kerry said, “Nobody gains by violence, nobody
gains by turning a political disagreement into a
killing spree … The proof will be in the actions
that are taken in the course of the election and
afterwards.

, “Anyone who participates in, plans or calls for
violence against the civilian population must be
held accountable, including by ineligibility for an
American visa. Perpetrators of such violence would
not be welcome in the US.”
In an apparent response to Dasuki’s call, Kerry
said, “It is imperative that Nigeria holds its
elections on time.”
Dasuki had in London last week called for the
postponement of the elections to allow the
Independent National Electoral Commission
distribute more Permanent Voter Cards to
Nigerians.

An unconfirmed source said Kerry also spoke
with the INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru
Jega, on the telephone.
He was said to have urged Jega to ensure that the
polls, which would determine how the US relates
to Nigeria in future, were credible.
Kerry also said that the US remained committed
to helping Nigeria fight Boko Haram.

President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday assured
all stakeholders including the United States of
America that the May 29 handover date was
sacrosanct.

He gave the assurance amidst calls by some
individuals including the National Security
Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), for the
postponement of the February general elections.
According to a statement released by his Special
Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben
Abati, the President gave the assurance during a
closed-door meeting he had with the United States
Secretary of State, Mr. John Kerry, at the State
House, Marina.

The statement was signed personally by the
President.
He said he had what he called “a candid and
constructive discussion” about a broad range of
issues with his guest.
He said he emphasised to Kerry that he was
deeply committed to ensuring that the elections
were free, fair and credible.

He added that he also promised his guest that
his government would provide all resources
required by the Independent National Electoral
Commission to conduct hitch-free elections.
Jonathan said, “I emphasised to Secretary Kerry
that I am deeply committed to ensuring that our
forthcoming election is free, fair, and credible.
“It is especially critical that all political parties
abide by the Abuja Accord, which commits each
to non-violence before, during, and after the
election.

“I made it absolutely clear that the May 29th
handover date is sacrosanct.
“In addition, the government will provide all
resources that are required by the Independent
National Electoral Commission to ensure that the
election goes smoothly.

“I also emphasised that INEC is an independent
body, which makes its own decisions without
any interference from the government.”
The President said he was grateful to the US for
standing with Nigeria and its people in the
nation’s fight against Boko Haram.
He said he reaffirmed his administration’s
commitment to working together with the US to
put an end to global terrorism and particularly
Boko Haram.

He promised that Nigeria would also work to
deepen and consolidate its bilateral relationship
with the US.
The President described Nigeria as a vibrant
democracy and the largest trading partner of the
US in Africa with over $18bn in bilateral trade.
He noted that the two countries and peoples
shared a mutual admiration for one another
and a deep commitment to freedom, democracy,
and human rights.

This, he explained, was why the two countries
were jointly engaged in a struggle against “a
common enemy that promotes terror, fear,
division, and violates human rights, most
especially of women and girls, with complete
impunity.”

The President added, “Winning the fight against
Boko Haram in Nigeria and West Africa is
absolutely essential to beat back the tide of
religious extremism around the world.
“Our security forces have been working tirelessly
and courageously to achieve this goal.
“I reaffirmed for Secretary Kerry that Nigeria is
strongly committed to building the
multinational task force to fight Boko Haram in
partnership with Cameroon, Chad, Niger and
Benin Republic under the auspices of the Lake
Chad Basin Commission.
“Indeed, I called publicly for such a regional
approach at the African leaders’ summit in Paris
in May 2014 and more recently in multilateral
meetings.

“We are pleased that the international
community is now strongly united behind this
initiative and agree that its success is critical.
“It is equally important that the multinational
force receives the significant support that is
required to address the threat through our global
partners.

“The United States, more than any other country
in the world, has the most experience fighting
armed insurgencies.
“And having suffered the devastating attacks of
9/11, its people also understand the insecurity
and fear that is the reality for the vast majority
of peaceful, tolerant Muslims and Christians in
north eastern Nigeria.”

The Minister of Defence, General Aliyu Gusau, another schoolmate of
General Muhammadu Buhari has confirmed that the presidential
candidate of the All Progressives Congress in forthcoming February 14
election actually sat for and passed Cambridge/ WASC examination in
1961.

Gusau gave this affirmation in an interview he granted to an online
medium, Greenbarge Reporters.com.
He said: “You know that I’m not a politician but the truth needs to be
told that I have known Buhari since 1960. He passed through the
school that I also attended. He sat for his Cambridge/ WASC
examination and came out with Division 2. He then joined the Army,
rose to become Major General and Head of State.”
The Defence Minister spoke in response to the dust raised by the initial
inability of Buhari to present his school certificate to the Independent
National Electoral Commission, INEC, thereby setting off a firestorm of
disapproving comments from a broad spectrum of Nigerians, even as
many others stoutly rose to his defence over the matter.

Gusau wondered why the old students association of the school, had
not promptly risen to defend Buhari over the allegations.

“We had just formed an association of old students of Katsina
Provincial School, right from when it was a Middle School till date. And
His Royal Highness, the Emir of Katsina, who is an ex-student of the
school, invited some of us as the representatives of different sets, to
his palace and we decided to even form a secretariat. I thought that
the secretariat of our association should have clarified the status of Bu­hari’s certificates long before it took this dimension, Gusau said.” He
recalled that he met General Buhari in the Katsina Provincial
Secondary School when he was enrolled into the School in January
1960, the year Nigeria gained Independence.
“General Buhari, at that time was in form five. I stayed two years with
General Buhari at the school. They passed out in 1961 and we passed
out in 1964. Buhari had leadership qualities since secondary school; in
form five, he was a House Prefect.

“Their set went up to form six but we were the first set that finished
school at form five. Normally, out of those in form five, the school au­thorities used to pick House Prefects and when they get to form six,
House Captains were chosen from those who were House Prefects. In
Buhari’s case, he was a House Prefect in 1960 when we joined. By
1961, when he was in form six, he was chosen to be the Head Boy of
the School.

“There were four Houses during our time in the school; Magaji House,
Kaura House, Alkali House and Durbi House. Buhari was the House
Prefect of Magaji House in 1960, Justice Umaru Abdullahi was the
House Prefect of Alkali House, the late Mamman A Zango, who
became a policeman, was House Prefect of Kaura House while the
late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua was House Prefect of Durbi House.
By 1961, all of them became the House Captains of their respective
Houses but Buhari became the Head Boy.”
