[img]http://www..com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/I-ask-for-forgiveness-from-those-we-have-offended-Pres.-Jonathan-300x256.jpg[/img]

While delivering his valedictory speech at the special thanksgiving and farewell service organized by Aso Villa Chapel yesterday May 17th, President Jonathan asked for forgiveness from those who might have felt offended by any of the moves his government made, stating that such moves were not intended to deliberately hurt anyone. He said no human institution is ever perfect. He urged everyone to pursue work towards a better Nigeria even as they leave government positions.

"No system is perfect. Every human system must have an element of imperfection. For the period of eight years that we have been here. I will take the period as a block because my transition from VP to President was gradual and complicated. It was intertwined so you cannot actually draw the line. Because when the President was challenged within major health issues, I was running the country for sometimes even before the doctrine of necessity made me as acting president. Then I took over at first and conducting the 2011 election I won and I had to run my full four years as an elected president. So for the eight that one has been there, definitely one is not perfect. We have certainly done things that probably we wouldn’t have done that way, but we didn’t do things deliberately. So for those who we have offended it was not deliberate, it was circumstances of the office. So we also plead that those people should forgive, we think we have done our best. You can do your best and your friends may misunderstand you. Today we are talking about leaving, it is only God that knows why things go the way they do.We came in as Vice President and my wife, today we are leaving as the former president and former First Lady. We have achieved it through you. Let me specifically thank the chaplain, the clergymen, the pastors and their wives. For the past eight years we have every reason to be thankful to God. Every individual has his/her own calling. I also believe that people who take over political leadership have their own callings to do specific things. No one, head of a government, be it at the national level or the sub- regional levels can do every thing. But when you leave, you will want to do something to show that yes I was here. The chaplain has said that nothing is perfect, if you wait for perfection, you cannot achieve anything. Ordinarily 24th of May would haven been the last Service here. But that 24th, we will all go to the National Christian Centre for the inauguration service. So for me and my wife, this is our last day of worship here. Though we are leaving as president and First Lady, but we have not left you, because we are still in this country, we will continue to interact one way or the other, probably along the line we may even come closer. I believe some of you may even come closer, and even do more meaningful things together when we leave office. I don’t really believe that it is only in government that you can do thing, even outside government you do a lot of things. The richest people in the world don’t even serve in government. Dangote has never been in government, so you don’t need to be in government to be rich. Bill Gates has not been in government. So outside government a lot of things happen, it is for us to be committed and continue to be focus. Me and my wife really love all of you.”he said

Breaking News !!! Military Coup in Burundi as Army General Overthrows President Pierre

Following weeks of violent protests against the president’s bid to stand for a third term – a top Burundian general on Wednesday announced that he has overthrown the administration of President Pierre Nkurunziza who travelled to Tanzania for EAC Summit.

The radio broadcast by General Godefroid Niyombare – came hours after President Nkurunziza arrived in neighbouring Tanzania for talks to end the crisis.

However, it is not clear how much support he and the other officers have – as President Nkurunziza’s aides have dismissed the coup claims as “a joke”.

Police fired tear gas and live ammunition on protesters in the capital, Bujumbura, on Wednesday.

The unrest began on 26 April and has led to the deaths of more than 20 people.

Some PDP governors reportedly planning to form new party

According to a report by Channels TV, some PDP governors, particularly those who formed what was referred to as the new PDP in December 2013, are planning to form a new party following the crisis that is currently rocking the PDP after its loss at the presidential elections.

According to the report, it is not clear what the name or acronym the new party will bear but the break away is a signal that some of the leaders of the PDP have eventually aired their grievances on what they referred to as ill treatment meted out to some of them by people within the leadership of the party.


Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, six Northern governors and Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi in September 2013 moved to create a new PDP following some major disagreements with the national leadership of the party. 6 of them have since defected to the APC while two of the governors, Niger state Governor Aliyu Babangida and Jigawa state Sule Lamido stayed back in PDP.

The art of politics and getting things done for now can only be done through Tinubu - Oba of Lagos

In a fresh interview with Punch, Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu expressed his reservations over some PDP politicians especially in Lagos state who were in disagreement with APC Chieftain Bola Tinubu. According to him, the art of politics & getting things done for now can only be done through Tinubu

"There are still good people in the PDP. I am not saying that. Don’t misquote me. There are many good people like Ade Dosunmu and even Jimi Agbaje, who is my blood relation. But it is unfortunate because there are some things I don’t want to disclose. Their hatred of Bola Tinubu is the mistake they are making. He is an individual they don’t understand. You know Jesus said in the Bible that ‘Father please forgive them for they know not what they do’.
And the Tinubu that they wanted to destroy, see what God has helped him to do for Nigeria. The Bible said the stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. The art of politics and getting things done for now, can only be done through Bola Tinubu, which they do not understand. Some people say I always agree with him and it is because they do not know me. I have no friend or enemy and I don’t have a reservoir of knowledge but God has found me worthy. We argue on many occasions and at times, he suggests reasonable things which I concur with but sometimes, I will convince him to accept my own and as a son to a father, he has no choice but to obey me"he said

Fuel scarcity: Marketers insist strike continues, denies receiving any money from govt

Members of the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association DAPPMA say the strike action they are currently embarking on will continue despite claims by the Federal Government that N156bn was released yesterday to offset some debts owed them and end the persisting fuel scarcity.

In an interview with Premium Times, the Executive Secretary of DAPPMA, Odufemi Adewole said that non of their members in the Major Oil Marketers Association (MOMAN), have received the monies supposedly released yesterday and that until the money hits the accounts of all its members, they will not call off the strike.

“The money government said it was paying to marketers has not yet hit our accounts. So, there is little we can do about the situation. The money the Minister of Finance promised to pay us last February did not get into our hands till about four or five weeks later. If all members are not getting the money today, it means we have to wait till Monday. But, the truth is that nobody is going to call off the strike till the money is paid,” he said.

Ifeanyi Ubah, the chief executive officer of Capital Oil and national coordinator of the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN), broke down in tears on April 30, Thursday, over President Goodluck Jonathan’s loss in the March 28 presidential election.

According to a report on The Cable, Ubah had gone to the new banquet hall of the presidential villa to submit the report of the Peoples Democratic Party presidential campaign organisation to Jonathan.

Jonathan's Loss: Ubah Breaks Down Before PDP Chieftains

Ubah was said to have wept profusely after Jonathan’s address, which drew thunderous applause and a standing ovation.

His tears flowed without restriction when chieftains of the PDP started speaking on the party’s loss.

Party members took turns to console him but he had to excuse himself from the hall when all attention was focused on him.

TAN worked for the failed re-election bid of President Jonathan. The TAN group claimed to have collected 12 million signatures asking Jonathan to run in the election, after travelling to all the states of the federation.

Ubah’s oil marketing company, Capital Oil, was one of the firms taken over by the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) over its N60 billion indebtedness. Capital Oil was later returned to him shortly before Jonathan declared his intention to run for a second term in November 2014 after AMCON had offset most of the debts.

In a recent interview, Ubah who contested in the gubernatorial elections in his home-state of Anambra last year for the Labour Party, bared his mind on the outcome of the 2015 general elections, the impact of TAN activities, among other national issues.

Photo of some of the rescued girls; military now says identity of girls still unknown

Above is a photo of some of the girls recently rescued by Nigerian troops from Sambisa Forest. Meanwhile Spokesperson of the Defence Headquarters, Major General Chris Olukolade, says identity of the rescued females is still unknown. He said this while addressing newsmen in Abuja today

"Additional number of persons are still being recovered from the forest. Until such comprehensive profiling is done, nobody can confirm whether they are among the Chibok girls or not. Whoever they may be, the important thing is that Nigerians held captive under very severe and inhuman condition have been freed by our gallant troops.

The joy and sense of hope being expressed by many Nigerians on hearing about the rescue operation is therefore understandable. We would like to reassure them that the momentum of this operation will be sustained until that sambisa forest is comprehensively cleaned out and all Nigerians held captive within the bowels of the forest are rescued. There is great hope for the recovery of more hostage of the terrorists.” he said

Gen Buhari was at the induction of new members of the National assembly organised by the National Institute for Legislative Studies in Abuja today April 29th today.

The legislature by nature is inherently democratic in the sense that all members are equal and are elected representatives of the Nigerian people. As President-elect, I recognize this fact and believe that legislators carry this heavy burden of representation with all the seriousness it deserves. For a president to be successful in addressing community development and general welfare of the various people of the country, he or she would benefit from working closely and in harmony with the legislative arm of government. “I therefore commit myself to working with the legislature as development partners motivated by the desire to deliver good governance.” he said

Governor Yuguda Sacks His Political Aides

There are indications that the move may be connected with allegations that some appointees were looting government property.

According to the statement signed by Hashimu Yakubu, the permanent secretary of political affairs, on April 28, the sacking of all special advisers, senior special assistants and personal assistants was with immediate effect.

“The executive governor of Bauchi state, Mallam Isa Yuguda, has approved the disengagement of all special advisers (with the exception of the special adviser, Due Process).

Gov Mimiko Plans To Eliminate Me, Dep. Gov. Tells Sahara Reporters

The Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Ali Olanusi who defected to APC leaving Governor Mimiko at PDP, has accused the Governor of planning to eliminate him. Olanusi said this exclusively to Sahara Reporters.

It was also gathered that some thugs were arrested yesterday at the Government House for attacking the Dep. Governor. Police were called him and the thugs were whisked away, but were released in no time on the order of Governor Mimiko, Sahara Reporters states. Read the full report below.

Agents of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Ondo State Police Command on Wednesday arrested some thugs who recently attacked Deputy Governor Ali Olanusi in Akure, a police source told SaharaReporters.

The source disclosed that the seven thugs were arrested in a chalet inside Government House as they reportedly were planning another attack on the deputy governor, who recently broke with Governor Olusegun Mimiko and defected from the PDP to the APC.

Our source, who asked not to be named because of the "sensitivity of the case," also stated that the hoodlums had been released on the orders of Governor Mimiko, who pressured the Ondo State Commissioner of Police, Isaac Eke.

“The thugs were arrested inside the government VIP chalet where they were planning to coordinate another attack on the Deputy governor,” said the police source.

He added: “A senior police officer from the SARS department led the team of the officers that effected the arrest of the thugs inside the Government House, VIP chalet. But, unfortunately, they have been released on the direct orders of the governor who put pressure on the state Commissioner of Police to quickly release them.”

SaharaReporters exclusively obtained the names of the arrested suspects who are mostly known by their street nicknames in Akure: Dada (Alias Bullet), ‎Aperi, Dele Origbe, Asin, Akin Iroko, Opejole, Ojule.

Our source said the suspected attackers are household names in the remote area of Oke Aro in Akure.

Earlier today, a member of a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) confirmed the arrest of the thugs, telling SaharaReporters that the thugs were well known members of a PDP killer squad.

"I knew those guys very well, especially the one bearing ‘Aperi.’ They are Mimiko's boys. Those guys are on the payroll of the governor. They use exotic cars and have big houses inside the Alagbaka GRA based on the sponsorship of the governor.”

He added that the governor always used the thugs to threaten ‎his political opponents in the state. “One of those guys eliminated the son of a popular Akure union leader," the PDP factional leader revealed.

Another source in the Government House confirmed the brief detention of the suspects, but added that not all of them were caught inside the government chalet. He said two of the thugs were arrested outside the chalet.

"They were waiting for the governor, when the police van drove inside the governor's compound and immediately arrested them.” The source also confirmed that the governor intervened to have the suspects released.

Shortly after the attack on him, Deputy Governor Ali Olanusi exclusively told SaharaReporters that Governor Mimiko was planning to eliminate him.

Meanwhile the Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the state police boss, Isaac Eke, of being unduly biased by releasing the hoodlums arrested yesterday for attacking the deputy governor.

Jonathan Goes After Okupe Over His Failed N100m Bribe

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe from a reliable source in the State House is in serious trouble with President Goodluck Jonathan.

It was reliably gathered that President Goodluck Jonathan gave Dr Okupe the sum of N100 million in Dollars to mobilize the Labour and Accord Party in the South West since they agreed that President Jonathan is their joint Presidential candidate.

Problem however started when Okupe didn't share the money as Jonathan instructed but started putting up a very expensive mansion. He was said to have also bought a Range Rovers Sport.

But his workers in the State House were not paid for three months leading to the presidential election.
“I have taught that the Election period will be our breakthrough but unfortunately, it was the worst as Dr Okupe could not even engage us in any of the campaign activities despite the facts that we are in Public Affairs in Presidency.” a senior staff in his office said.

"I think the man is good but his dilemma is his elder brother, Wemimo Okupe and wife, Yemisi Okupe. In fact, Wemimo Okupe is the Chief Operating Officer that controls the finances of Dr Doyin Okupe according to our source in the State House. He determines who to pay and what to pay to any of the staff including those that worked in the defunct Federalist Newspaper owned by Dr Doyin Okupe."

The Federalist Newspaper was another source which Okupe used to siphoned money from Presidency and friends of the Presidency.

A female staff of the defunct paper said the Newspaper was operated like a cult business and that was the major downfall of the paper!

Sources alleged that President Jonathan is insisting that all those who ate his money must return them.

You must impeach God before you can impeach me- Gov Fayose of Ekiti

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has dismissed the purported impeachment notice posted online by the All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers in the State House of Assembly, saying he was yet to be served any impeachment notice.
He described those plotting his impeachment as the same enemies of Ekiti State that plotted his exit from office in 2006.


“Nobody served me any impeachment notice. I only saw the notice online like every other person. I’m like Israel that is in the midst of enemies but will always prevail. Whoever wants to remove me will first have to impeach God.”


He said the APC people were trying to get at him because he wholeheartedly supported President Goodluck Jonathan’s reelection bid.

“They are doing all these just to get at me because of my support for President Jonathan and I have no regret for supporting the president.

“Let me say it again, I have not been served any impeachment notice. The House of Assembly is also on recess and Dr Adewale Omirin is not the speaker of the State House of Assembly.

“Omirin is in court, challenging his impeachment and he can’t be challenging his impeachment in court and at the same time laying claim to being Speaker,” he said.

While urging the APC to accept defeat as done by President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP, Governor Fayose said; “By the power of God, they lost 16 – 0 on June 21, 2014, they lost 16 – 0 again on March 28, they will lose 26 – 0 on Saturday, April 11.”

Falana Tells Akinolu, Apologise Now Without Delay

Human rights Lawyer, Femi Falana has asked the presiding Oba in Lagos to make no delay in apologizing to Igbos for his harsh statement towards them on Sunday when Eze Ndigbos (Igbo traditional rulers) of all the local governments in Lagos came to pay him a courtesy visit in his palace.

Mr Falana in a statement released today said the Oba’s diversionary threat is totally unacceptable as it is a mockery of the political objective of national integration.

“It is illegal as it clearly offends Section 42 of the Constitution which has prohibited discrimination on grounds of ethnicity, religion, political opinion, creed or sex,” Mr. Falana said.

He also says the Oba lacks the power to cause anyone to ‘die in the Lagoon within seven days,’ stating the threat constitutes a violation of the fundamental right of thousands of citizens to life. He however urged the Oba to apologize without delaying.

[img]Jonathan Was Relying on Motor Park Politicians – Kwankwaso

Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso has disclosed that President Goodluck Jonathan lost the presidential election due to his lack of experience in politics and for relying on cheap motor park politicians for votes.
In the words of the governor: "Goodluck Jonathan relied so much on people he met at Airports and motor park stations. If a person wore 'abada' with gold wrist watch he can easily convince Jonathan.

"Look at what happened in Kano; everyone knew myself and my supporters matter except President Jonathan. Many of us who are in charge and have the confidence of the people were neglected and I believe it was as a result of wrong information our enemies were feeding Mr President."[/img]

Fayose Sends Traditional Rulers To Beg Tinubu In Lagos

Things are really changing. Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose has sent two first class traditional rulers to meet the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Sources hinted that the traditional rulers who left Ekiti State to Lagos were mandated to meet with the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, who is expected to lead them to the former Lagos Governor whose political tactics and successes have continue to overwhelm the nation.

“We are on a peace mission. Governor Fayose has asked us to meet with Oba Akiolu who should open the door for us to see Asiwaju Tinubu. We know there are moves to impeach the governor, our role as traditional rulers is the look for a constructive way to end the crisis. If the Governor will be impeached, we do not want him to be disgraced again for the second time in office,”

one of the the first class traditional ruler told a journalist on Sunday.
The royal fathers are currently being lodged at a high-rate hotel in down town Lagos and are expected to meet with Oba of Lagos later today who will take them to Tinubu later in the night. The royal father who pleaded anonymity said the governor ‘is not arrogant. He has been misunderstood. We agree he made some mistakes, but there should be forgiveness and then Ekiti can move forward.”


When asked if their mission was to stop the impeachment, he said: “We want a peaceful resolution of the crisis. We want Asiwaju to intervene and give Fayose a safe landing.”
Fayose was on Friday served with impeachment notice by the 19 legitimate lawmakers who want him to respond to allegations of gross misconduct within the next seven days.


Also, the governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko was said to have met with Asiwaju few days before the election pleading with him to forgive and forget his misdeeds having seen the inevitable failure of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) at the March 28 election. But it was too late.

President Jonathan and his family begin to move personal effects from Aso Rock

According to a report by Punch, President Jonathan and his family members have started moving their personal belongings out of the Presidential Villa in Abuja. One of the newspaper’s reporters said he saw some buses loaded with travel bags moving out of the President’s official residence yesterday afternoon Friday April 3rd.

It is believed that the president and his family will return to Otuoke, Bayelsa, once his tenure ends on May 29th.

There are also reports that the reason for the early removal of personal belongings of the First Family is to allow for renovation work of the residence to commence before Buhari comes into power in May.

The Presidency has reportedly commenced a discreet investigation into how the call which was made on Tuesday, March 31, got to become public property.

According to Ynaija, the audio of the conversation surfaced on the internet on Thursday, via a Twitter handle- @EveryNigerian.

The media also revealed that a government official revealed to Punch newspapers that a thorough investigation will be conducted into the leak and that the first step was to determine whether the recording was leaked from the Presidency or was made public from the President-elect’s camp.

“Definitely, unauthorised release of a raw recording of the President’s telephone conversation, if from our (Presidency’s) end is a security breach that cannot go without being investigated,” the source said.

Jonathan called Buhari even moments before the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the APC candidate as the winner of the election.

After conceding defeat, many Nigerians and indeed world leaders praised Jonathan and described his action as heroic and commendable.

President Jonathan holds closed-door meeting with Buhari

President Goodluck Jonathan and the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, have met for the first time after the keenly contested presidential election.

Jonathan lost the election ​to Buhari, ​and conceded defeat, the first time an incumbent Nigerian leader would do so. In a telephone call to Buhari ahead of his official declaration as winner, President Jonathan had urged him to make time for their teams to meet and​ commence transitional processes.

The meeting, described as “private”, held at the Banquet Hall inside the President’s office.


The two leaders met behind closed-doors at the Aso Rock presidential villa Friday. Both sides are expected to commence transitional processes ahead of the May 29 date for the transfer of power.


Sources say the meeting is most likely related to a soft landing for the incumbent but OluFamous.Com was yet to confirm the full details as at the time of posting.

Presidency sources however confirmed that both leaders held a meeting.

Buhari campaign group call for the arrest of Femi Fani-Kayode

Buhari Support Group has called on the law enforcement agents to effect the arrest of Chief Femi Fani-Kayode for saying that PDP had won in 23 states even when INEC had not announced any results. The group at a press conference in Abuja yesterday March 30th said Fani-Kayode through his action breached the electoral law

"We strongly condemn in its entirety, the recent outburst and blatant misinformation of the general public by Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode that the PDP is already leading in 23 states of the federation. This claim is a total breach of the electoral act and is designed to cause the breach of peace. Gen. Mohammadu Buhari had repeatedly emphasised to his supporters to maintain calmness in that face of provocation by the ruling party. This recent utter exhibition of lawlessness enmeshed in the typical character of impunity by PDP is unacceptable. We ask the security agencies to immediately effect the arrest of Mr. Fani-Kayode for breaching relevant sections of the electoral act which forbids any organ outside INEC from officially declaring election results. His arrest for further questioning will be a clear indication that the security agencies are truly unbiased participants in this electoral process as this declaration is also a breach of both the 1st and 2nd Abuja Peace Accord. We call on the international community and observers to note the steps being taken by PDP to cause severe breach of peace and call them to order. We also ask our supporters to maintain the peace as we await the official announcement from INEC of the authentic result for the March 28th elections.” Media and Publicity Director of the group, Dr. Chidia Maduekwe said

Suitor fleeing rival's attack crushed to death in Lagos

A man who attempt­ed to flee from his rival’s attack has been crushed to death by a motorist.

The deceased simply iden­tified as Wisdom Okafor was said to have rammed into an on coming Honda CRV Jeep with registration number LSD 885 DC, while trying to avoid being attacked by his assailants who Sun gathered, were led by a man identified to be his rival.

The incident happened on Monday, March 23, 2015 along Clem Road, Jankara, Ojokoro area of Lagos.

The driver of the car, one Ibra­him Zakari, eyewitnesses told Sun, rushed the victim to a private hospital in the area but the hospital management rejected the victim.

“I think he was told to go and get police report or something like that. I am not sure of what made them reject the man but the hospital did not admit him,” he said.

The driver of the car was said to have rushed the victim to Ojokoro Police Station where he was provided an escort to take the deceased to Ahmadiya Hospital.

Sunday Sun, however, gathered that the victim was pronounced dead at the second hospital.

Meanwhile, the driver of the car was on Wednesday, March 25, arraigned before an Ojokoro Senior Magistrate Court presid­ed over by Mrs. T Akani on a two count charge.

The charge read, “that you Ibrahim Zakari ‘M’ on 23rd day of March, 2015 at 06.30 at Clem Road, Jankara drove a CRV Jeep with registration number LSD 885 DC in a manner without due care for other road users and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under section 28 of R.T.A Cap 172 Vol. 17 Laws of Lagos State, Nigeria 1994.

“That you Ibrahim Zakari ‘M’ on the same date, time and place in the aforementioned magis­trate district being the driver in charge of the Honda CRV Jeep drove the same in a dangerous manner and caused the death of one Wisdom Okafor thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under section 27 of R.T.A Cap 548 Law of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2003.

The accused, however, plead­ed not guilty to both charges.He was granted bail in the sum of N500, 000 with two sure­ties in like sum.

A police source however informed Sun that the two persons have been arrested in connection with the alleged attempted attack which led to the accident that claimed the deceased’s life.

The man in the photo above was allegedly shot dead by a soldier this morning at Bauchi's INEC Office after the military tried to gain access into the office. Residents of the state had blocked the military from entering the office as results were being collated and this sparked the violence. The residents had held a vigil outside the INEC office to await the announcement of last Saturday's election when the military showed up. Another man was hit by a stray bullet.

The US and UK government have released a joint statement appraising last Saturday's general elections. According to the statement posted on UK's Foreign affairs website here, both government said the elections have largely been peaceful but that there are disturbing indications of political interference in the collation of results. The statement below...

Our governments welcome the largely peaceful vote on 28 March. The Nigerian people have shown a commendable determination to register their vote and choose their leaders. So far, we have seen no evidence of systemic manipulation of the process. But there are disturbing indications that the collation process - where the votes are finally counted - may be subject to deliberate political interference.
This would contravene the letter and spirit of the Abuja Accord, to which both major parties committed themselves. The Governments of the United States and the United Kingdom would be very concerned by any attempts to undermine the independence of the Electoral Commission (INEC), or its Chairman, Prof Jega; or in any way distort the expressed will of the Nigerian people.

Ngilari, who was sworn in as the state governor on October 8, 2014, after Umar Fintiri was sacked, condemned the use of the card readers.

The governor expressed anxieties that a large chunk of the state’s resident who are willing and prepared to vote would be disenfranchised because the card reader machines are malfunctioning.

Ngilari while lamenting the delay in accreditation process urged the staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to check their time and be time conscious.

He said he had earlier spoken against the use of the card readers and PVCs in this year’s polls but had to let go his opinion in order not to appear as a villain.

Ngilari, who is a ruling governor on the platform of the PDP was born in December 1953 in Madagali area of the state, is married with five children.

Meanwhile, the PVC card reader appears to be having technical issues in some parts of the country. In Otuoke, Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, the home town of the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan, the card readers also presented a mild drama.

The card readers which accredited the mother of President Jonathan fail to read the biometric of Mr. President and his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan.
