If u are still a PDP member, u know what to do na... Let the tearing of cards begin

Following former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s public act of tearing his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s membership card last week, another member of the party Yunusa Halid, has also torn his membership card, defecting to the opposition party, APC.

Mr. Halid, a youth leader in new Karo dumped PDP the same way baba did.

Flets:
With people like Tinubu, Atiku, Amaechi, Obasanjo and all PDP rejects behind Buhari, he will really have his hands full.

There is no greater evil than when the greatest islamist fundamentalist and dictator merges with the most corrupt human alive in the person of Tinubu. The outcome will be outright disaster.

U are very high. Talk intelligently not ogogoro induced yarns

BY ALEXANDER SMITH
Millions of Nigerians are ready to pin their hopes of defeating the Islamist group Boko Haram on a 72-year-old ex-military dictator with a checkered human-rights record.

Retired Gen. Muhammadu Buhari is standing against President Goodluck Jonathan in Nigeria's general election, which has been delayed amid militant violence and is now scheduled for March 28.

The campaign is being fought against the backdrop of an intensifying campaign of suicide bombings, raids and kidnappings by Boko Haram. The group has overrun a huge area in the northeast and its insurgency was blamed for 10,000 deaths last year.

A month out, polls suggest the race is neck-and-neck.

Buhari has a reputation as an incorruptible strongman, promising to crush Boko Haram and root out Nigeria's endemic corruption problem.

But despite these credentials many analysts view Buhari as a surprising choice for the opposition ticket.

Buhari was once Nigeria's military dictator

The retired general has already had one attempt at ruling Nigeria, for just under 20 months from 1983 until 1985. He helped oust the democratically elected government in a bloodless coups before being deposed in a counter-coup himself.

When Nigeria transitioned from military rule to democracy in 1999, Buhari came out of retirement for a series of similarly-unsuccessful attempts at politics. He has fought — and lost, by some margin — the three presidential votes in the ensuing 16 years.

"In terms of what a Buhari government would be like, all we have is his record during the 1980s, and that's not particularly reassuring," according to J. Peter Pham, director of the Africa Center at The Atlantic Council think tank.

Human-rights groups have accused Buhari's regime of crushing political dissent and installing harsh military values into civilian life.

"A lot of journalists and civil society campaigners were arrested and thrown in jail without a trial," Nigerian author and historian Max Siollun told NBC News. "This was either because they were critical of the government of accused of fomenting dissent among opposition groups."

His regime was implicated in the 'Dikko Affair'

The most notorious example of how dissidents were treated during Buhari's previous reign was an incident in 1984 known as the "Dikko Affair," the details of which read like something from the pages of a spy thriller.

After Buhari's regime took power, many ministers from the former democratic government were thrown in jail on charges of embezzlement. Umaru Dikko, the transport minister and de facto second-in-command, fled to the United Kingdom and became the West African country's most wanted fugitive.

Nigerian intelligence agencies allegedly worked with Israel's Mossad to hatch a plot to track down and kidnap Dikko, according to Siollun, who wrote about the Dikko Affair in his book, "Soldiers of Fortune: A History of Nigeria (1983-1993)."

Testimony given in the ensuing court case also implicated the Nigerian and Israeli governments, according to a Reuters report during the trial.

A group of Nigerian and Israeli men tracked Dikko to his home in West London and bundled him into the back of a van, the then British Home Secretary Leon Brittan told Parliament at the time.

Dikko was put in a sealed crate along with a doctor who sedated him and kept him alive while he was driven to a Nigerian Airways cargo plane waiting at London Stansted Airport.

But unknown to his abductors, Dikko's secretary had seen the kidnapping unfold through her window and the crate was apprehended by customs staff at the airport. Armed police surrounded the cargo plane — thwarting the plan at the last moment.

The Nigerian and Israel governments have always denied involvement, but the incident sparked the worst diplomatic crisis between the U.K. and its former colony Nigeria.

The Nigerian High Commissioner was declared persona non grata in London, diplomatic relations between the counties were suspended for two years, and three Israelis and one Nigerian were convicted and jailed in Britain for their part in the plot.

While the Dikko Affair occurred under Buhari's rule, it is not clear what role — if any — he played in it.

Critics cite his record on the economy, discipline and religion

Buhari's economic record was "nothing short of disastrous," according to Pham. Although factoring in that the price of oil crashed in the 1980s, Siollun points out that none of the leaders of oil-rich Nigeria emerged from the period with much financial acclaim.

Buhari also introduced the "War Against Indiscipline," in which drill sergeants were placed in public-sector offices to punish late or truant workers with jumping jacks and other grueling physical exercises.

"He was a disciplinarian, your archetypal army general: very firm, very decisive, very resolute," Siollun said.

Buhari's critics have also attempted to capitalize on the deeply religious nature of the presidential race. Nigeria's population of almost 180 million is divided evenly between Christians, most of whom live in the oil-wealthy south, and Muslims, who are largely concentrated in the underdeveloped north.

President Jonathan is a southern Christian, Buhari a Muslim from the north.

[b]Buhari has been forced to defend against allegations that he would seek to impose hard-line Islamic law, something currently present in 12 of Nigeria's 36 states, as a blanket policy across the country. Although most analysts agree there is no basis to these claims.

As heavy-handed and ineffectual as some of Buhari policies may have been, he is still seen as principled in a country ranked as one of the most corrupt in the world.

"He was known in Nigeria for being comparatively honest," Siollun said.

During his rule in the 1980s he engaged in an anti-corruption drive that according to the author was "unprecedented, no one had seen anything like it."

It was this ethic that partly led to Buhari's downfall, his own peers ousting him when he turned the spotlight on them. Many Nigerians speculate that some of the officials opposing Buhari this time around are doing so in fear of a similarly ruthless approach.

He is known for leading a modest life

Buhari is also revered for having led a far less opulent existence than is customary among Nigeria's political and military elite.

"While other generals retired to be millionaires, he went off to lead a relatively austere lifestyle," Siollun said.

This lifestyle was witnessed by former U.S. ambassador to Nigeria John Campbell, who visited Buhari's home several times during his diplomatic tenure in the country.

"The most striking thing to me was that, in a Nigerian society where more is better and excess is best, Buhari lives very modestly," Campbell told NBC News. In contrast to other prominent figures Campbell met, Buhari's house was "not a palace," he said, noting that the retired general answered the door in person and kept no visible servants.

"His physical health appears to be excellent and he has extremely good manners," said Cambell, who is now a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. "This image is a big part of his appeal on the street."[/b]

The race between Buhari and Jonathan appears to be close

Buhari's supporters are convinced this appeal is strong enough to propel him to Nigeria's seat of government on his fourth attempt. Reliable polls are hard to come by in a vast country of such poor infrastructure, but the figures that are available put the candidates on level pegging.

His hand is strengthened still by the considerable number of lawmakers who have defected from President Jonathan's People's Democratic Party (PDP) to his coalition, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Another factor in Buhari's favor is Nigeria's youthful population. The country has a median age of less than 18 (the U.S. figure is nearly 37), so most people were not alive — let alone remember — Buhari's time in power.

Even so he faces a monumental challenge. He would be the first opposition candidate ever to win an election in Nigeria. The only exchange of power since the country gained independence from British rule in 1960 has been through military coups and counter-coups. Whenever there have been democratic elections, the government has always been reinstalled with a landslide victory.

The opposition alleges the government has turned to underhand methods to sustain that record. The decision to postpone the vote by six weeks from its original date of February 14 was seen by Buhari's supporters as a panic-button measure by a government facing defeat.

If Buhari does win, however, it may be only the start of his problems. "Between keeping his coalition together and actually trying to govern he will have his hands full to say the least," Pham said.

Jonathan dey fvck up ooo!

The Olorunsogo Power Plant commissioned in Ogun state on Thursday by President Goodluck Jonathan, as part of vote-winning gimmicks that his government has done something for the South West people, was commissioned by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2007, eight years ago.

The Obasanjo administration actually built many of the gas-powered plants across the country, or awarded the contracts for them. They are now being commissioned by the Jonathan administration. The Olorunsogo plant, not far away from the industrial complex of Sango-Ota Farm, Ewekoro Cement and the Obasanjo Farms, was among the plants that were ready before Obasanjo left office in May 2007. And he cut the ceremonial tape to declare it open.

The plant, with eight turbines, could not produce much power, because there of inadequate gas supply.

Thanks to Okeke Godwin Iyke, we now publish the photograph of the former president commissioning the plant.

GEJ/PDP must go ASAP!!!

what nonsense is this!!!

The announcement by PDP national leader Bode George that he will flee Nigeria if the APC government comes to be is a latest in accumulating actual cases of Nigerians fleeing and stashing their ‘loot’ overseas as the nation counts down to a likely Buhari/Osinbajo presidency.

Reports from Dubai indicate an overflow of Nigerian cabal investors who have lately been buying up property in a mad frenzy as they hurriedly move their wealth abroad anticipating the May 29th handover.

The fall of the Naira on the forex market has for a large part been attributed not only to the tanked oil prices but to the excessive demand of the dollar by these filthy rich cabal that are actively laundering their money overseas.

Many known and secret businessmen who have enjoyed unlimited direct access to Nigeria’s oil earnings at all levels of the marketing process have been seeking dual citizenship in neighboring countries like Chad, Ghana and Cotonou and further across Africa to places like Ivory Coast, English speaking Gabon and Namibia; also in Kenya and South Africa; while others are buying permanent residences in Dubai, the United Kingdom and America. The Caribbean Islands too are not left out as Islands like St Kitts, Grenada, Trinidad and the like have reported an influx of Nigeria’s dollars and asylum seekers.

While Nigeria’s president is reliably reported to be negotiating impunity upon his hand over, such an arrangement may only be accorded to Nigeria’s number 1 office if General Buhari does approve and this does not augur well with the tons of implicated benefactor cabal lead by minister of petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke aka oil godess. These system benefactors including the likes of Musliu Obanikoro and Ekiti governor, Ayo Fayose who are so dug in and keep digging in deeper, are desperate for a fight to finish and to scatter the transition process as defeat becomes most imminent. This group has decided that they must win at any cost and have been working sleeplessly, contacting all and sundry to try to buy them over with a war chest of over a billion dollars PDP campaign money.

Jonathan Seeks Buhari’s Audience To Negotiate Immunity Terms

NewsRescue authentic sources have informed that president Goodluck Jonathan has requested to meet with opposition candidate, General Buhari for a private thorough discussion and negotiation on full modalities of an impunity process for himself and as many of the implicated Cabal and army Chiefs as possible ahead of the elections. The meeting is scheduled soon at a private location outside of Nigeria’s borders.

We have been informed that president Jonathan forced for the meeting by blackmailing the opposition candidate that if such is not granted, he, Goodluck Jonathan has the ability to and will disrupt the process completely thus ensuring there will never be a smooth and bloodless transfer of power of a viable Nigeria to General Muhammadu Buhari and Attorney Yemi Osinbajo.

The APC Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCPCO) has reiterated that the Jonathan administration lacks the capacity or the moral courage to fight corruption, and cannot therefore, be trusted to govern Nigeria again. The campaign said in a statement issued by its Directorate of Media and Publicity in Abuja on Monday that a government with a notorious record of indifference to corruption should not be taken seriously to fight corruption. Citing the Nigerian Railway Corporation, which it alleged is creaking under the weight of corruption; the statement wondered how the so-called success story of the Railway Corporation could be sustained under the influence of corruption. The statement alleged that a car wash company with no experience in railway construction was awarded a railway rehabilitation contract at N24 Billion Naira. It also mentioned another case of N44 billion consultancy contract awarded at N488billion and jacked up by extra N2 billion overnight. The APCPCO disclosed that despite repeated petitions, which were investigated and confirmed by the state security service, corruption and inflation of contracts continues to grow unabated at the railway corporation. According to the APCPCO, most of the individuals involved these shady deals cannot be touched because of their connection to powerful people in the presidential villa. The statement alleged that the Managing Director of the Railway Corporation has become so powerful that he boasted to Board Members that any of them fighting him “are fighting the First Lady.” Suspecting that the Board Members were behind the DSS investigation, the statement accused the Managing Director of using his alleged connection to the First Lady, to award contracts without due process, and intimidates Board Members with impunity. The APC presidential campaign noted that with this level of corruption and impunity at the Railway Corporation, it would be difficult for the Jonathan administration to convince Nigerians it has the will or the capacity to rid Nigeria of the scourge of corruption. According to the statement, only in a country like Nigeria would a security agency indict a department of government of corruption and the government of the day would ignore the report. The statement also reminded the Jonathan administration that it could not fight corruption by shielding corrupt people from prosecution, a situation, which it said, might embolden crooks to ruin the country with impunity.

ALL Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate General Muhammadu Buhari paid a surprise visit to Chibok in Borno State yesterday to view for himself the town from which over 200 schoolgirls were abducted last April. As part of his nationwide campaign, General Buhari hit Borno State yesterday, addressing a mammoth crowd in the state capital Maiduguri. After the event, military commanders who provided security, were surprised when the general said he wanted to visit Chibok and refused to provide him security cover until they received clearance from their superiors in Abuja. Despite their objections, however, General Buhari insisted on visiting Chibok and left for the town despite their of the refusal of men of the Joint Task Force (JTF) to go along with him. Upon arrival, he was moved when he came out and saw the thousands of Civilian JTF members who had volunteered to provide security for him and the Borno State governor Kashim Shettima. In Chibok, the people and parents of the abducted girls also came out to welcome General Buhari and his entourage and escorted him around the town singing and dancing. After he addressed the people and parents of the girls, a pastor offered prayers for the safe return of the entourage back home and for General Buhari's victory at the polls.

BENIN—GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, has called on the Police and other security agencies in the state to investigate and apprehend some desperate politicians, who he said go about purchasing Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, from eligible voters with a view to disenfranchising them in the forthcoming general elections.
The governor, yesterday, when he received the new Commissioner of Police for the state, Mr. Samuel Damilola Adegbuyi, who visited him in his office, said: “Everyday, I hear reports about some desperate politicians buying PVCs from people, particularly villagers and even non-villagers, sometimes for as much as N5,000.
“I am trying to understand what anybody can do with this, it is not clear. Somebody called me this morning to say that two persons came to him to complain that they gave them N5,000 in lieu of their PVCs.”
