The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the February 23, 2019 poll, Atiku Abubakar, has said Nigeria must address electoral lapses that cause rigging of election in the country, “especially those lapses that led to the alleged rigging of the 2019 general elections.” Atiku, a former Vice President in a statement on Monday by his Media Office, said one way of addressing the lapses was to implement the salient recommendations of the National Electoral Reform Committee (NERC) headed by former Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Mohammed Lawal Uwais.

He said the second was the creation of Electoral Crimes Commission. The former Vice President said one of such recommendations, which would enhance the independence of the supposedly Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), was the recommendation that the power to appoint the chairman and board of the INEC be taken away from the President and given to the Judiciary.

He said Nigeria today faces a lot of challenges, chief of which are security and economic challenges, adding that to effectively tackle these, a government must have an honest and indisputable mandate. “Obviously, the 2019 elections were several steps down from the 2015 elections in terms of credibility, and as a democrat, I am challenging that election in the right arena, the courts. “However, leadership does not just entail getting justice for the past. A real leader knows that in terms of justice, prevention is better than cure.

“I have been pondering on the question, how can Nigeria have credible elections? Our electoral system needs not just to be brought up to date, by the acceptance of the amendments to the Electoral Act passed by the eight National Assembly, we also need to be up to tomorrow, by taking steps today to ensure that the lapses that made it possible for the 2019 elections to be manipulated or rigged are addressed. “Of all three arms of government, the Judiciary is the least affected by elections, meaning that it has the highest objectivity in matters relating to the INEC. “It is therefore in the best position of the three arms to appoint a chairman and board members for the electoral body that are impartial, competent and patriotic.

“This recommendation may seem like a small change, but my experience in life has taught me never to underestimate the big difference small changes can make. “Where you have an administration whose mandate is considered tainted, such a government will lack sufficient moral authority to tackle the myriad of problems this great nation currently faces.

“I conclude by saying that I do not believe in blaming. Leadership must be solution-oriented, not blame-focused. This is why I proffer this patriotic advice. Nigeria must be great again and all hands must be on deck to achieve that,” Atiku said.

Look at the first guy from the left. He looks like a Fulani. I can categorically tell you that these idiots are Fulani herdsmen

Egba herdsmen

What is the business of a religious body with top performers in a public examination? What if some of the perfermers are not Muslims? Something is brewing underground. Such a proposal is tenable in a Muslim country. There is an undertone to this proposal!

Why should anyone be surprised over undeserved awards in the city of Abuja where my friend Alex gives it to anyone who needs them. It is Nigeria where awards have never been based on merit.

Reekado Banks winning Next Rated over Kizz Daniels and Lil Kesh is a typical example.

But what's the fuss about; simply because Elisha Ishaku Abbo is the recipient of this award?

[s]We must not completely write-off Elisha for hitting a woman, (an offense must of us are guilty of and one most of our dads actively engage in)
If he could defeat Senator Binta Masi then there must be something great about this guy.

He may be flawed but Elisha is an activist for democracy and not one to be intimidated and a man who knows how to challenge the status quo so NwaAmaikpe knows better than to throw away the ugly baby with the dirty bath water.

This award may be even more deserved than Wole Soyinka's Nobel prize.[/s]
If we can live with that, we should live with this.

Congrats Honourable.

Repent today from supporting those calling for Ruga (land grabbing exercise ),tolerating killer herdsmen and pampering boko haram by freeing their captured members labelling them 'REPENTANT '
