The only people who against the shift in date are the people who have perfected strategies to unleash violence against the electorate in the northern part of the country, especially against the supporters of the incumbent president. Unfortunately for them, GEJ as the Chief Security Officer of the country has the final say as to when elections can take place with the guarantee of security for the entire process. It is not the call of APC who are simply involved in sheer noise making. Free and fair elections is one in which there is no threat of violence or intimidation against any supporter of any of the political parties, apart from the integrity of the process in itself. The elections will be shifted by 8 weeks to ensure that the process is guaranteed to truly be free and fair. GEJ till 2019.

PoliticsRe: Truth About The Sponsored AIT Documentary On Buhari. by TunjiMsp: 5:46pm On Jan 28, 2015
benuejosh:
my dear nairalanders, I watched the damaging documentary that was done on General Muhammadu Buhari’s regime and I was shocked that the current government would invest in falsehood and continuously lie to Nigerians.
I was dissapointed with most of the issues that were ‘x-rayed’ and how the current leadership clearly summarized that corruption is our only way forward, culture and attitude. To set the records straight I would like to clarify some issues in that video:
1. Fela’s mum died after Kalakuta republic was
attacked in 1978 by Obasanjo’s govt. GMB didn’t come into power until 1984
2. Why drag Buhari’s personal life into the show of shame. Even her two dead daughters were no respected because of a man’s desperation to win his second term. In Africa, no one speaks ill of the dead. Would the president be happy if he was accused of sacrificing his late sister for rituals purpose or sake of the 2015 election victory?
3. Fela never linked GMB to any $2.8 billion naira scandal but OBJ.
4. Shehu Shagari’s govt expelled illegal immigrants (Ghanians) from Nigeria not GMB’s regime.
5. To set the record straight, account of Gloria okon’s death in the documentary is faulty. Her death was connected to IBB and it was the investigation of that incident that led to the death of the veteran Journalist, Dele Giwa. Buhari had no hand in Gloria Okon’s death.
If Buhari would be condemned for jailing corrupt officials during his tenure, executing criminals in accordance with the law of the land at that time, then we must begin to have every coup plotter account for his sins.
Well, Nigerians have watched this piece on Buhari and awaits the video on how Nigerians are faring under the current leadership whose stewardship has destroyed our existence as a people;his poor leadership led to the loss of million lives in the North–east, grown our economy on papers while in reality, the reverse is the case, Chibok girls are gone with no hope of returning back to their parents, the DSS of our country reduced to a mere speculative
agency, and failure in almost all sectors of the
economy. Nigerians should beware of the president that empowers and award contracts of Territorial boundaries to ex – militants while the Military of his country is ill equipped to defend her citizens. We want results not false videos and blackmails. constructive arguments and criticism are welcome
in the documentary they even affirm their support for corruption, condemning WAI for tell people to be orderly and punishing people for littering the floor, this people are desperate and clowns but I guess NCC can't do something because they are dancing to the music of their master

candidbabe:
Shocking Atrocities Committed By APC’s
Presidential Candidate General Muhammadu
Buhari
1. Buhari was in full support of all the
atrocities of
Sani Abacha against the Nigerian people. There
is
no single record of his criticism of Sani
Abacha during those dark days when Nigeria
was
on precipice. It shows that he is a patriot of
convenience. In fact On the 10th anniversary
of
Abacha’s demise, Buhari said that Abacha stole
nothing from Nigeria! Despite millions of
Dollars
recovered from banks around the world and
the
Abacha family signing a formal agreement to
return
over $1 billion dollars, Buhari still said that,
Abacha’s stealing remains an unproved
allegation!!!! Why? Because Abacha set Buhari
up
like an emperor and let him use oil money
from
theNiger Delta to develop the North without
supervision or questions.
2. He supervised the smuggling of 53 suitcases
filled with cash through the MMA against the
protest of General Tunde Idiagbon and
ironically,Abubakar Atiku, the then Director
General
of Customs, who later became the Vice
President
and a compromised politician himself. This
smuggling of the suit cases were supervised by
buharis ADC, Col. Mustapha Jokolo
3. That obnoxious Decree 4 by buhari, against
which truth was no defence, was used to jail
journalists, an attempt to shut-up the media as
a
whole. That tyrannical legislation of buhari
shows
the essence of his intolerance…..He jailed
Ndukar
Irabor and Tunde Thompson of “The Guardian”
on
stories that were factually true. He again told
Nigerian journalists then that, it did not
matter
whether the story reported was true or not, if
his
regime did not like it, the writer would go to
jail.
facts of recent history.
4. Mrs. Vera Ifudu, who was an NTA reporter,
was
sacked on Buhari’s orders as military ruler, for
reporting what Dr. Olusola Saraki had told her
in
an interview about how the missing, $2.8
Billion
money, while buhari was petroleum minister,
was
traced to Buhari’s account at Midland Bank,
London branch. In view of this, OBJ scraped
PTF
over Buhari’s misappropriation. Vera
eventually
won her case in court after providing evidence,
and
was financially compensated.
5. He convinced all the northern political
leaders
against allowing the National Identity card
program
because according to him, this would unravel
the
myth of Northern population majority.
6. He has never been able to account to
Nigerians
what he did with the 20 billion Naira of the
Petroleum Trust Fund of which he was the
chairman under Sani Abacha. Also, He has not
been able to point to any project he
prosecuted
outside Northern Nigeria with the trust fund.
7. Buhari, as part of his tribalistic practices,
placed
President Shagari under house arrest inside a
palatia mansion in Ikoyi, while he locked up
Shagari’s Vice, Alex Ekwueme in Kirikiri
Prison.Shagari is Hausa/Fulani like him while
Alex
Ekwueme is an Igboman.
8. Ikemba Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu,
another Igboman who had just returned from
13
years of exile in 1982, following a pardon by
then
president, Shehu Shangri, was as well locked
up in
Kiri-Kiri Prison by Buhari. Till this day, we are
not
told what Ojukwu’s offence was.
9. Buhari discriminated against persons from
other
ethnic groups/faiths; and as PTF chairman, he
employed an overwhelming numberof Fulani/
Hausa/Moslem people at the detriment of
other
groups and concentrated PTF projects in
theNorth.
If in doubt, read El Rufai’s book.
10. Buhari snubbed the same Nigerians he now
wants their votes by refusing to appear before
Justice Oputa “Truth and Reconciliation Panel.”
Despite the fact that Buhari knew how
important
reconciliation is to the stability of democracy,
buhari has never apologised at anytime.
11. Buhari after locking up Sam Mbakwe, who
was
governor of Imo State, from October 1, 1979
to Dec
31, 1983 in jail, he went for one of Mbakwe’s
wives. He established himself for what he was/
is
letting Mbakwe receive in jail, news of the
death of
another of Mbakwe’s two wives.
12. He is an Islamic fundamentalist, who told
his
northern followers never to vote for anyone
who
was not a muslim and he is a coup plotter who
overthrow a civilian government.
13. He is an oligarch who does not believe in
equality before the law. The way he jailed
Lateef
Jakande, Jim Nwobodo, Pa Adekunle Ajasin,
Chief
Ayo Ojewumi on cases that had no foundation
and
allowed Awwal Ibrahim, the then Niger State
governor, who was arrested in Heath row
Airport in
London with 14 million (Pounds sterling) and
several millions of Naira and dollars to be
under
house arrest is my evidence. (Ayo Ojewumi
became blind as a result of his imprisonment
over
false charges and died shortly after)
14. Against all canons of legal decency, Buhari
executed Lawal Ojuolape (30),
BernardOgedengbe
(29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26). To put it
quite
plainly, one of those three –Ogedengbe – was
executed for a crime that did not carry a
capital
forfeit at the time it was committed.
15. After the military government of Major-
General
Muhammadu Buhari took power, Prof Ambrose
Ali,
one time governor of (Bendel) state, who had
already retired from politics, was arrested and
sentenced to 100 years in prison by buhari’s
military tribunal over trumped up charges. He
was
finally freed when the Esama of Benin, Chief
Gabriel Igbinedion, paid a fine to
buhari’governme
nt. Ambrose Ali died shortly after his release.
16. Gen Buhari allowed Shehu Kangiwa, the
then
Sokoto State Governor from 1979-1981, who
conducted and supervised the famous
“Bakolori
Massacre” of poor peasant farmers, whose
lands
were seized without compensation, to remain
under a very comfortable house arrest, without
punishment or proper imprisonment.
17. In 2011 Buhari’s CPC loyalists massacred
and
lynched Nigerian youth corpers after the last
election. A refined politician is expected to
tender
an apology on behalf of the ignorant loyalists,
buhari refused to apologise. He said, the mob
were
angry because they felt the election was
rigged. Is
that sufficient to take the life of another?
18. Buhari pretended to have forgotten, his
CPC
party, rigged the election by registering under
aged
voters. He who comes to equity must come
with
clean hands.
19. On the 4th of September, 1984, minutes
before
leaving Nigeria for an extensive tour of the US,
Fela
Anikulapo Kuti was arrested at the airport of
Lagos
on orders of Buhari and was jailed for 5 years,
on
bogus charges under emergency law initiated
by
dictator buhari, which prompted the
sentencing
judge to later confess that, he was ordered to
do
so and apologized to Fela. Get Fela’s (Army
Arrangement) song for more expose’.
20. Mallam El-rufai who now sings buhari’s
praise
famously said on Oct, 5th 2010 that ” General
Buhari is perpetually unelectable because his
record as military head of state and
afterwards, is
a warning that many nigerians in the past have
wisely heeded. His insensitivity to Nigeria’s
diversity and his parochial focus are already
well-
known.” El-Rufai again said: “I was 25 years old
when Buhari was Head of State and now am
50+
and he still wants to be President, i don’t
understand that, i don’t understand that at all
and
I call on young people of Nigeria to take their
future into their hands and ensure in the next
election, they vote for a new generation of
leaders.
A leopard can never, ever change it’s spots.
Nigerians, do not be deceived,vote wisely.
Facts
and not fiction. Nigerians, behold the real
buhari
if truly you have heard the saying that "the pen is mightier than the gun, then you will know that all atrocities allegedly committed. Jo's govt is the of chop and chop and clean mouth, No country can ever grow this rate of corruption

Certificate Saga: Hausa Language Was Not Offered in 1961, Says Report

Despite the release of the school certificate result of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, the controversy over the released result has not subsided.
A research report by an educationist and Professor of Educational Foundations at the University of Ilorin, A. A. Adeyinka, has punched holes in the claims by Buhari that he sat for and got a credit pass in Hausa Language from the Provincial College (now Government College), Katsina, in 1961.
Adeyinka, in the report titled: “Major Trends in Curriculum Development in Nigeria”, said no school in Nigeria offered subjects in local languages at the time.
His research report had further chipped away the credibility of the Statement of Result released by the college to support Buhari’s claim that he sat for the secondary school certificate examination in 1961.
According to Adeyinka’s research findings available at www.unilorin.edu, prior to the emergence of a centralised government of the regime of General Yakubu Gowon from 1966 to 1975, all regions in Nigeria had different academic curriculums.
He added that it was only the Western Region that offered a local language as a subject in both its curriculum and school certificate examinations.
The university don said it was after a central government was formed and a universal educational curriculum was developed and adopted that other local languages were included in school curriculums in 1974.
He listed subjects in the academic curriculum to include English Language, Biology, Commerce, Principles of Accounts, Health Science, Literature in English, Bible Knowledge, History, Geography, Yoruba, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
According to Adeyinka, Yoruba was included in the academic curriculum following the recommendations of a commission set up to review the academic curriculum for schools in the then Western region.
He wrote: “In the former Western region, for example, both the Banjo Report (1961) and the Taiwo Report (1968) recommended the revision of the school syllabuses and the introduction of a new structure of education.
“The Banjo report specifically recommended a new model for secondary education, comprising junior and senior secondary schools. The curriculum of the former should be comprehensive.
“Similar recommendations were made in the East (Dike 1959, Ivan Ikoku, 1964).”
In the same vein, the Director Media, Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, claimed that he came across an e-mail dated Thursday, January 22, 2015 from the institution’s Archives Delivery Service Officer, Jacky Emerson, to one Sodiq Alabi who requested confirmation if the examination body offered Hausa Language in the 1961 West African Certificate Examination it organised.
Emerson, in his one-sentence reply, said: “According to the Regulations for 1961, African Language papers, including those for Hausa, were not included for West African School Certificate.”
He had pointed out a number of inconsistencies in the document at a press conference last Thursday in Abuja.
Among other things, Fani-Kayode pointed out the alteration on Mathematics, which he said Buhari must have failed, adding that since that was the case, he should not have been enlisted in the military as a commissioned officer, having failed to satisfy the requirement of pass at credit level in Mathematics.
He said at best, Buhari should have been enlisted as a non-commissioned officer.
He had also questioned the recent passport photograph of Buhari on the statement of result (which is not a certified true copy) purportedly issued by the Ministry of Education, Katsina State; the “1961” date at the top of the document which conflicted with the “2015” date signed by the Principal of Government College (Pilot) Katsina, whose name was not stated in the document.
Meanwhile, Fani-Kayode has also faulted reports which claimed that the Minister of Defence, Gen. Aliyu Gusau, said Buhari passed his Cambridge/WASCE examination in 1961 and that they attended Katsina College together.
Fani-Kayode, in a statement issued yesterday in Abuja, said the report was part of the opposition’s propaganda and desperate bid to cover the wrongdoing of their presidential candidate whose integrity they have so much flaunted.
According to him, “It has been brought to our attention that a number of online publications and newspapers have published a false story suggesting that General Aliyu Gusau, the Minister of Defence, has defended General Buhari on the certificate issue and has said that they attended Katsina College together.
“This is pure falsehood and crass disinformation, and it is indicative of the type of shameless desperation and propaganda that the opposition are now indulging in.
“Not only did General Gusau not attend any school with General Buhari or go to Katsina College but he has also never sought to defend or absolve him in the on-going controversy about his school certificate.
“We urge the Nigerian people to be very wary of the antics of the opposition when it comes to this and virtually all other matters; and we encourage them to continue to insist that General Buhari should stop clutching at straws and prove that he is the man of integrity that he claims to be by producing his school certificate.”
The Coalition of Concern Lawyers in Nigeria (CCLN) the same day also picked holes in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari’s certificate, calling on the Inspector General of Police (IG) to investigate and prosecute those found guilty of perjury.
It equally called on the IG to investigate and prosecute anybody found to have, forged the Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs).
The group, which said it was not sponsored by any individual or organisation, noted that its hallmarks was credible, free and fair election devoid of any criminality.
It frowned at diverse statements that greeted the authenticity of the certificate, calling for a thorough investigation of the saga.
Dr. Amaechi Nwaiwu (SAN), made the call at a press briefing in Abuja.
Saying: “Nigerians have the right to ensure that persons contesting to gorven them are qualified. Where there is an allegation of forgery, the Nigerian Police have the powers on a complaint to investigate, interrogate and prosecute any person found to have committed forgery of a document or committed perjury.
“The Nigerian Police, under Section 214 of the constitution and the Police Act, have the powers and duty to investigate and prosecute such offences.
“We call on the IG to investigate, interrogate and prosecute any person upon a complaint found to have committed perjury or forgery of school certificate.”
Nwaiwu added that having relied on the school certificate, it has to be produced and not only a statement of result.
“We also call on the IG to investigate, interrogate and prosecute upon complaints on persons found to have forged the PVCs
“A fundamental aspect of our constitutional democracy is to create electoral process with credible voters’ register, right to vote and freedom to vote.
“Freedom entails the voters’ right to have the franchise recognised through registration and possession of PVC to cast their vote freely, decide how to vote and expect their ballot papers to be counted accurately,” Nwaiwu added.

According to him, “It has been brought to our attention that a number of online publications and newspapers have published a false story suggesting that General Aliyu Gusau, the Minister of Defence, has defended General Buhari on the certificate issue and has said that they attended Katsina College together.
“This is pure falsehood and crass disinformation, and it is indicative of the type of shameless desperation and propaganda that the opposition are now indulging in.
“Not only did General Gusau not attend any school with General Buhari or go to Katsina College but he has also never sought to defend or absolve him in the on-going controversy about his school certificate.
“We urge the Nigerian people to be very wary of the antics of the opposition when it comes to this and virtually all other matters; and we encourage them to continue to insist that General Buhari should stop clutching at straws and prove that he is the man of integrity that he claims to be by producing his school certificate.”
The Coalition of Concern Lawyers in Nigeria (CCLN) the same day also picked holes in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari’s certificate, calling on the Inspector General of Police (IG) to investigate and prosecute those found guilty of perjury.
It equally called on the IG to investigate and prosecute anybody found to have, forged the Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs).
The group, which said it was not sponsored by any individual or organisation, noted that its hallmarks was credible, free and fair election devoid of any criminality.
It frowned at diverse statements that greeted the authenticity of the certificate, calling for a thorough investigation of the saga.
Dr. Amaechi Nwaiwu (SAN), made the call at a press briefing in Abuja.
Saying: “Nigerians have the right to ensure that persons contesting to gorven them are qualified. Where there is an allegation of forgery, the Nigerian Police have the powers on a complaint to investigate, interrogate and prosecute any person found to have committed forgery of a document or committed perjury.
“The Nigerian Police, under Section 214 of the constitution and the Police Act, have the powers and duty to investigate and prosecute such offences.
“We call on the IG to investigate, interrogate and prosecute any person upon a complaint found to have committed perjury or forgery of school certificate.”
Nwaiwu added that having relied on the school certificate, it has to be produced and not only a statement of result.
“We also call on the IG to investigate, interrogate and prosecute upon complaints on persons found to have forged the PVCs
“A fundamental aspect of our constitutional democracy is to create electoral process with credible voters’ register, right to vote and freedom to vote.
“Freedom entails the voters’ right to have the franchise recognised through registration and possession of PVC to cast their vote freely, decide how to vote and expect their ballot papers to be counted accurately,” Nwaiwu added.
