President Buhari arrived his home town of Daura on Thursday ahead of the Governorship and State Assembly elections scheduled for Saturday. He landed at the Daura Helipad in a Presidential Chopper marked NAF-541 at 6:50 p.m. in company with his aides and close family members. The president was received by the Emir of Daura, Farouk Umar, his kinsmen, and hundreds of well- wishers. The president’s wife, Aisha Buhari, will also host a thanksgiving dinner for women and youth organisations in Daura.
Politics“I Am Glad The PDP Is Going To Court” – Abdulsalami Abubakar by xgnx(op): 1:11pm On Mar 02, 2019
The Chairman of the National Peace
Committee, General Abdulsalam
Abubakar, says the group has
presented the grievances and
observations of the Peoples
Democratic Party presidential candidate in Saturday’s election, Atiku
Abubakar, to the President. Gen. Abubakar told journalists after
the committee met with President
Muhammadu Buhari on Friday that the
meeting was basically to convey the
fears of the PDP to the President,
affirming that Mr. Atiku did not give conditions as being speculated. “Mr. President has listened to us and
also taken note of what we have told
him. On behalf of this country and all of us
regardless, we need peace. This
country is very important to all of us. We are not talking of self-interest; we
are talking of the interest of Nigeria,”
said Gen Abubakar. He described the PDP presidential
candidate’s decision to approach the
courts as the right thing to do. “I keep saying, whenever there is
violence, we are not going to see
violence in Ikoyi, in the Villa and
you will not find violence in the
various government houses in
this country. “It is always the poor men that get
to kill themselves and so on. So,
please, yes, as much as we have
grievances, l am glad that the PDP
said they are going to court to
challenge the process. l think this is the right way to go about it, and
l hope and pray that we will
maintain this.” The meeting comes a day after the
Committee met with the PDP
Presidential candidate, in the company
of other leaders of the party including
the PDP National Chairman, Uche
Secondus, Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and House of Representatives
Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, among
others. The National Peace Committee has
been in the forefront of the campaign
for peaceful elections in the country. In the run up to the Presidential and
National Assembly polls, the
Committee got the presidential
candidates to sign a Peace Accord,
pledging to maintain the atmosphere
peace and urge their supporters to abstain from violence.
PoliticsINEC, Recs Meet Over Governorship Elections by xgnx(op): 2:36pm On Feb 28, 2019
The Independent National Electoral Commission is currently meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners at Abuja The electoral officers are meeting to discuss the March 9 governorship and State House of Assembly and the Federal Capital Territory elections preparations. The elections will be held in 29 of 36 states across the country. Also, part of the agenda of the meeting is for the RECs to give assessments about the just- concluded presidential and National Assembly polls. The presidential election was held on Saturday, February 28. It was marred by delays, sporadic violence, and allegations of vote rigging. Incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari defeated opposition candidate Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party. INEC announced the final count on Wednesday, after days of vote tabulating across states. Buhari won handily, securing approximately 56 percent of the vote, compared to Atiku’s 41 percent. After the announcement, Buhari thanked his supporters. “I am deeply humbled and profoundly grateful to you for judging me worthy of continuing to serve you and for your peaceful conduct,” he said. However, Abubakar is challenging the results of the poll. He claimed that there were “statistical improbabilities” that were apparent, such as high turnout in areas plagued by conflict and lower turnout in peaceful states. He also alleged that the military personnel deployed to keep the peace had helped suppress the vote in certain areas. “If I had lost in a free and fair election, I would have called the victor within seconds of my being aware of his victory to offer not just my congratulations, but my services to help unite Nigeria by being a bridge between the North and the South,” Abubakar said. He added, “I hereby reject the result of the February 23, 2019 sham election and will be challenging it in court.”
PoliticsLogging Out Of The 2019 Elections by xgnx(op): 7:35am On Feb 27, 2019
“Improved turnout will give parliament and government the appearance of being more legitimate.” – Peter Lynch A few years ago I was privy to a “trial” somewhere in Cross River state. Basically, a woman was accused of pilfering by her neighbour and reported to the authorities. On the appointed trial date (the day after the report was lodged), she was summoned by the adjudicating authorities and asked to report for trial. She refused, simply because she did not recognise the authority of that court. So, they came and carried her to court. The trial lasted 30 minutes. The procedure was shockingly simple — the plaintiff made her complaint, the defendant retorted, the plaintiff was given a chance to respond, and finally, the defendant had another say. When that was done, the three judges huddled together and came to their decision. Not guilty. This lady who had earlier refused to accept the authority of what was effectively a militant court became a convert. One more person had logged out of the Nigerian state. I can almost guarantee that that lady did not come out to vote this weekend past. Based on the results that have been released as of this point, Nigeria’s voter numbers are shrinking, when they ought to be rising. Based on our population projections, between 2015 and now, about 17 million more Nigerians became eligible to vote, and INEC’s own figures showed that more people registered, and collected their voter identity cards. Yet, we are on course for the lowest turnout since we began our current democratic exercise. This low turnout is a bit incongruous with the numbers that INEC published for voter card collection, a number which was queried by someone in the office given the sheer amount of complaints we heard during the CVR exercise. Someone else quipped that people came out to collect their PVCs because it was a cheap identity card, but people wouldn’t come out to vote. I’m afraid he appears to have been right. In Lagos, the votes for both parties, of course other mushroom parties existed on the ballot, shrank from 1.4 million in the last election to 1.02 million this year despite a higher number of registered voters. In some parts of the South East, we saw turnout as low as 11 per cent, and even in the much vaunted APC strongholds of Kano and Katsina, voter turnout appears to have fallen as well. I saw a tweet referencing voter turnout from those states (and some other Northern states) in terms of absolute numbers, and what struck me was that the absolute numbers are approximately the same. To me this means that while the population is increasing, and getting younger, it is the same set of people, largely, who are voting, and even these voters are logging out. Fast in the South, but also in the North too. Such things bring a crisis of legitimacy, and that is a danger to our democracy, as people, looking for someone to lead, would naturally turn to unsavoury characters to lead them. It should worry everyone that since 2003, turnout has consistently dropped by 69%. Even 2007 which the winner acknowledged was heavily rigged had 57 per cent turnout. 2011 was 54 per cent, and 2015 was 44 per cent. As per the Youth Initiative For Advocacy, Growth And Advancement, YIAGA, “turnout for the 2019 elections falls below the bar set in 2015. This reflects the growing sense of disconnect between the Nigerian people and the political elite.” Back to the “trial” I talked about at the start of this piece —by sitting in judgement over people, the extra-state actors who held the trial will have gained some legitimacy. To enforce that, they will by necessity have some levers of violence, and the people in their territory will cede those levers of violence to them. The implied social contract is this — you have the levers of violence, so you provide us two things, justice and security. It means that if they are not on the vote, then people will not come out to vote. In fulfilling that implied contract, they will need to raise funds, and as a result, will begin to, slowly at first, tax the people around. Is it a stretch at this point to see how they will become an alternative government? A relatively comparable story can be told from Mexico, turnout fell from a high of 77% in 1994, consistently to 59% in 2006. This coincided with the rise of various drug cartels that essentially became an alternative state. On 11 December 2006, the government launched a war against the drug gangs, and since the government began to gain the upper hand, election turnout has been rising – 63% in 2012, and 64% last year. It appears that slowly, the people are seeing their government working for them, and are beginning to engage again, with the democratic process.

Politics2 APC Candidates Chasing One Senatorial Seat In Niger by xgnx(op): 10:49am On Feb 25, 2019
Supporters of All Progressives
Congress, APC, who trooped out to
vote for candidates of their choice on
Saturday are still confused over who
they voted for out of the two
candidates of APC vying for the same post. However, incumbent Senator David
Umaru (Niger East Senatorial District)
has maintained that he remained the
authentic and only recognised
candidate of the party. Speaking with journalists after casting
his vote, Umaru said despite the ruling
of the Federal High Court Abuja, which
recently declared his challenger, Sani
Musa, as the authentic candidate of
APC, he remained the only flag bearer of the party. According to him, “it is expedient to let
you know that I cast my vote on
Saturday for myself as Niger East
Senatorial candidate of my great party,
APC and I, David Umaru, is the
candidate. All the noise you hear about it is just rumour that does not exist. “In reality my name was forwarded by
the party to INEC and everything that
happened after is putting something on
nothing. The decision of the court has
been appealed. The Federal High Court
is court of first instance and until we go through to the final court of
jurisdiction, statu quo remains.” CLICK HERE TO COMM
