The Lady Who Stage-Manage the Chatham House Fake Anti-Buhari Protest -By Chidinma Onyejiuwa



 
Notorious Female Agent parades fake protesters as PDP agents
Buhari - APC furious over Chatham House Protest
Phony APC Chatham House Interview Exposed
Buhari furious over Chatham House Protest
She was also bitterly criticized for walking the facility with her toddler under a severe weather at the time.
Buhari, it was gathered, was furious, and had requested all information regarding the embarrassing moment, while his campaign took to the social media outlets to defend their UK political campaign encounters.


An eyewitness account 

I just saw her at Chatham. At the time I came, she was on the PDP side arranging those students.

I was naturally suspicious of everyone here because I knew they would try to paint it a sponsored rally so I went up to her and asked her if she was Julie Dyer, she said no. I started watching her. She would arrange them, take a picture, mingle with them, etc. At a point, I noticed her walking over to the APC side and laughing with the people there.

The Real Reason Buhari Went To London: The Arab Billionaires

The recent hoopla surrounding the sudden travel to London by the All Progressive Congress [APC] presidential candidate, General Mohammadu Buhari may have generated undue interest into the private travel pattern of the APC presidential candidate and the unexplained deception with which the handlers of the APC candidate have employed to mask the London has added to the hoopla surrounding the trip. Information available from 247ureports obtained from a competent source indicates that the APC presidential candidate may have gone to London for more clandestine reasons. The source reveals Buhari’s London trip was to meet with Arab billionaires to raise badly needed money for the presidential campaign – and to attend to a prescheduled medical checkup with his doctor in London.

It is recalled General Mohammadu Buhari departed Nigeria on February 19, 2015 through the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja but was reported by his presidential media team to have departed for London on a working visit – adding that Buhari will address the Chattam House on Thursday February 26, 2015 – and that he will also visit with the Nigerian communities in London. But the team held onto the real reasons the Buhari campaign team went to London. Our source reveals the Chattam House engagement was not the main reason for the trip, “it was a mere decoy” to help divert attention away from the main reasons for the said trip. According to the source, “why would Buhari visit London for Chattam House speech one week before?” The source acknowledged that the APC presidential candidate is afflicted with a “terminal illness that is not immediately terminal” – that his life is not immediately threatened.

Nigeria Power Brokers: The Cabal Against OBJ, Buhari


Take it or leave it; these are the people that will decide 2015 election. These are the people against OBJ and Buhari. The belong to the liberal political wing.

OBJ and Buhari have to dismantle the obstacle presented by these people in order to have access to Aso Rock. This is the same group that topple Buhari and also made OBJ president from prison in 1999. OBJ betrayed them and had to be forced out of the power equation. His frustration out of PDP was to achieve that purpose. They have aligned forces with GEJ and OBJ haven't seen the handwriting on the wall, is now fighting like a wounded lion.

The emerging days will tell where the pendulum will swing. I want to believe that no one is in doubt about the outcome of the 2015 election with the emerging scenario.

Buhari can pretend about the forces he is up against but I know OBJ is fully aware of what is playing out. Pushing OBJ out of PDP will lead to the final onslaught against the opposition. Just like the final onslaught against Boko haram, APC, like a stubborn He-goat, will soon be made to appreciate the difference between them and the goat seller.       

WE IN THE NORTH DESERVE YOUR SYMPATHY - By Mallam Abubakar Biu, Sokoto.


Dear friends, I am not ashamed to say that we in the northern part of Nigeria deserves your sympathy and pity. I watched helplessly how our youths are killing, maiming and destroying one another and blaming Goodluck Jonathan for the disasters that have fallen upon us.

I have taken my time to educate our youths; the sensible ones, that we are the problems of ourselves. Those killing us are our childhood friends, family friends and neighbours.

Children from other parts of the country are going to school, but the kids here in N/East and some Northern states are stopped from going to school because of Boko Haram threats. In the next 10 to 20 years, how on earth will they compare with their peers from the South?

Assuming Goodluck Jonathan is actually the one behind boko haram, can't we say no to him? Can't we tell him that we cannot be sponsored to kill our fellow brothers and sisters?

Fellow Nigerians, I think we deserve your sympathy and pity because our youths are being daily brainwashed by evil doers in our land.

The Northern Politicians that want to stop Jonathan from being president are behind Boko haram and now some foreign interest has joined hands with them. 

Now that it is clear that using Boko haram to disorganize Jonathan's administration is not working, I appeal to Northern elders, politicians and religious leaders to come out and tell these boys to stop their killing and destruction. The North deserve peace.

May allah sabhana watallah have mercy on us. Ameen ya rabb al alameen - Mallam Abubkar Biu. - Hope For Nigeria.

2015 POLLS: 6 Million OPC Members Set to Vote For Jonathan – Adams



National Co-ordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Otunba Gani Adams, yesterday, said that six million members of the group have resolved to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan at the March 28 presidential polls.

OPC members took the decision at their National Co-ordinating Council meeting after taking time to assess President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Major Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd) of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He made the disclosure at his Lagos residence while hosting Special Adviser to President Jonathan on Niger Delta Affairs, Hon Kingsley Kuku, who came to solicit his and OPC’s support for Jonathan’s re-election.

Adams said OPC is rooting for Jonathan because of his human rights records in not arresting or detaining any activist since he came to power, convocation of national conference and promise to implement the 633 recommendations that will help to restructure the country, which he said is in the interest of the Yoruba and South-west.

 He said: ‘’OPC is a group of six million people. We sat down at our National Co-ordinating Council to decide on who to vote for between President Jonathan and Buhari and the support for Jonathan is unanimous.”

The End of APC’s Fabricated Momentum, By Femi Aribisala



I have news for APC stalwarts.  You don’t win an election in Nigeria by being the champion of social media.  You don’t win by renting crowds to fill up your rallies.  You don’t win by putting up your billboards everywhere while tearing down those of your opponents.  You don’t win by master-minding in the media a false sense of the inevitability of your victory.  When you do all this successfully, you simply end up by deceiving yourself.

You win elections by mounting an effective ground-game at the grassroots level; designed to bring out the people on Election Day to vote for you.  Instead, APC strategy was to stampede the electorate into victory.  The design was to proclaim victory even before the election, laying grounds for protests and acrimony in event of defeat. 

REVEALED: What Jonathan, Buhari, IBB, Fashola Said At Council Of State Meeting On Poll Shift



 

An insight has been provided into the debate at the National Council of State meeting of February 5, 2015 where the issue of whether or not the general election should be postponed was extensively discussed.

Writing in his column in THISDAY on Thursday, celebrated journalist and former presidential adviser Olusegun Adeniyi, revealed that contrary to media reports, the council did not direct Attahiru Jega, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to go ahead with the polls. He gave an account of the positions of President Goodluck Jonathan and Muhamamdu Buhari, the respective presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC), on the postponement.

Revealed: Israel ‘assisting’ Nigeria to fight Boko Haram

A Nigerian government spokesman, Mr. Mike Omeri, told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday that Israel has been a crucial and loyal ally in the fight against the radical Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram.

“Israel has been a crucial and loyal ally in our fight against Boko Haram. It is a sad reality that Israel has a great deal of experience confronting terrorism,” Mike Omeri, the chief coordinating spokesman of the National Information Center, based in Abuja said. “Our Israeli partners have used that experience, and the unique expertise gained over years of fighting terror within its own borders, to assist us.”

B-O-K-O H-A-R-A-M: Battle-Field Account Of A Military Deserter



Soldiers tasked with fighting Boko Haram militants arrive to face
trials for mutiny in Abuja on October 2, 2014.
W hile the battle to route Boko Haram insurgents within six weeks as promised by the Federal government rages, an army officer, nursing the wounds and deep feelings over the whole incident, spoke exhaustively to Saturday Vanguard about his battle field experiences at Gombe and Yobe axis and why he deserted the profession he loves so much. His narration which runs like a ‘war memoir’ is as interesting although the military has recorded reasonable success with more equipment with which they have attacked terror camps and killed a great number of them.

However we present to you an interesting account of an officer who deserted the army from the battle front.

Excerpts: 

BACKGROUND

‘’I have served Nigerian Army for about twenty years. I enrolled through the regular course.
I have served in almost all formations in the country. I am from the middle Belt part of the country, married with two children, a boy and girl. I have also served in foreign missions in Sierra-leone, Liberia and Dafur and we always came out in flying colours. Sierra-leone and Liberia were for peace enforcement while Dafur was for peace support missions. We fought real battles at Sierra-leone and Liberia for about one year. We were there as a member of ECOWAS and we proved our mettle. It was popularly called ECOMOG. The battles were tense but rewarding in the sense that we were heavily equipped and all we needed for the war were adequately provided for us. During the battles we recorded very minimal casualty though. You know that it is difficult not to record casualties in war situations.

Non-Indigenes Protest in Lagos over PVC



Thousands of non-indigenes in Lagos yesterday marched to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Yaba to protest alleged marginalisation in the distribution of the Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC).

The protesters, who were leaders of the South-South and South-East groups in Lagos, brandishing their Temporary Voter’s Cards (TVCs) stormed the INEC office with various placards, demanding their PVCs to enable them to vote in the forthcoming elections. They had first converged on the Yaba Market before marching to INEC’s office.

Some of the placards read: “No PVC, no peace, no election,” “INEC, release our PVCs please,” “Jega, where are our PVCs?”  “INEC deliberately hold our PVCs,” “Non-indigenes of Lagos State refuse to be disenfranchised,” “We want to vote, give us our PVCs,” among many others.

Buhari Certificate Saga: CJN Probes Magistrate



The Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, has okayed an investigation into a petition accusing a Chief Magistrate in Abuja, Mr. Abubakar Babashani, of deliberately frustrating moves to commence hearing on the perjury charge entered against the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (ret).


Already, the CJN has directed the magistrate to immediately file his response to the petition entitled “Case of Abuse of Office and Manifest Bias by His Worship, Abubakar Babashani, in The Criminal Complaint by Shield Jones Ufot & Ors. Vs. Muhammed Buhari.”


Reacting to the petition, the CJN via a letter with Ref. No. CJN/MAN/B9/S.1/VOL.VI/389, which was signed by his Senior Special Assistant, Mrs. Hadiza Sa’eed, said he would give due consideration to all the allegations that were raised against the magistrate in the complaint letter dated February 4, 2015.

Specifically, four activists, Shield Jones Ufot, Jimmy David, Ogueri Enwerem and Tochukwu Okorie, had in a direct criminal complaint they filed before the Abuja Chief Magistrate Court, accused Buhari of violating section157 of the Penal Code.

France, Cameroun Lock Horns over Captured French Boko Haram Fighters



Following the capture of eight French nationals who are members of the terror group Boko Haram, a diplomatic spat has ensued between France and Cameroun, which has insisted on trying the terror suspects.

A top Nigerian intelligence source opened up to THISDAY on the brewing diplomatic tensions between France and one of her Francophone allies in the sub-region following the shocking discovery that some French citizens are staunch members of the sect, a throwback to their membership of the terror group, Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

According to findings, France was reported to have chided her former colony for insisting on trying the terrorists in Cameroun instead of handing them over to the French authorities.

Enraged by the audacity of Cameroun to hold its citizens, the French Foreign Minister, Mr. Lauren Fabuci, was alleged to have ordered that the suspects be handed over to the European country with immediate effect.

Rapists on Rampage: Shocking Stories of How Minors Have Become Endangered



As you approach her, she  averts eye contact, preferring to look at the ground; call her name, she nods her head without saying a word. She is equally not forthcoming when you try to engage her in a conversation. Yet this is a girl who was said to be outgoing and playful before her most recent traumatic experience.

But after much prodding, 13-year-old Sadia (not real name) and a primary five pupil of a private school in Jos, the Plateau State capital, was able to tell her story, albeit amidst tears.

Residents in shock

A middle aged man was caught defiling her at about 7am on the fateful day of October 12, 2014. It was an ugly incident that has since turned her life upside down and left residents in the neighbourhood reeling in shock.

She said it was not the first time the man raped her, adding that she had before this time allowed him to have his way because he gave her money to meet her urgent need, which is food. So their being caught in the act, booed and sniggered at by a curious crowd of residents, was a “shame too much” for her bear.

George W. Bush: I Avoids Criticizing Obama Out Of Respect For Presidency -The Washington Times

Former President George W. Bush explained Thursday that he has avoided publicly criticizing President Obama because he feels it would undermine the office of the presidency.

“I don’t think it’s good for the country to have a former president undermine a current president; I think it’s bad for the presidency for that matter,” Mr. Bush said Thursday evening on Fox News’ “Hannity.”

The former president said that, though he follows politics and is “very aware of what’s going on,” he has no interest in generating headlines for himself by bashing his successor

“Secondly, I really have had all the fame I want,” he continued. “I really don’t long for publicity. And the truth of the matter is in order for me to generate publicity I’d have to either attack the Republican Party, which I don’t want to do, or attack the president, which I don’t want to do. And so I’m perfectly content to be out of the limelight.”

Mr. Bush is currently making the media rounds to promote his new book, “41: A Portrait of My Father,” which he calls a “love story” about his dad, Former President George H.W. Bush.

Obasanjo Is Right Endorsing Muhammadu Buhari. By Ngozi Okonjo Iweala. [A MUST READ]

Why am taking a swift from supporting General Buhari Just few hours ago, Obasanjo endorsed General Buhari as the man to deliver this nation. I was personally shocked, when I heard the news. This is because, I was expecting Baba to stay at the touch line, and leave Nigerians to study his body language.

But the masquerade could not control his dance in the public market. Hence he mistakenly flogged his own mother who is also a trader in the market. Nigerians, I am left with no option than to tell us that, these ex-generals and their boys are up to something. 

The issue at hand is not all about the presidential seat. But rather, the national cake (oil blocks). Less I forget, is it not the same Obasanjo who woke up and hand picked his puppet 2011, who eventually grew like Joseph the messiah of Egypt?

We must understand the preacher's language before decoding his message. If Obj can take a swift and prefer General Buhari to Jonathan, a puppet he dedicated his energy and resources to win 2011 election, then as an average Nigerian, we should have a rethink and ask our leaders what is so special in Aso Rock.

The Real Reason Why Obasanjo Is on a Collision Course with Jonathan: A Revisit of Iyabo’s Letter



I said it last time when OBJ’s daughter wrote an open letter to her father OBJ. I know that for that letter alone, he will fight like a wounded lion to make sure that President Jonathan is disgraced out of power. Obasanjo sees Jonathan as the reason why his daughter went to that great extent of maligning his person. OBJ is yet to come out of that shameful exposé by his daughter.

I see this letter as a reply to OBJ’s recent outburst on Joanathan.

Below are some excerpts from IyaboObasanjo’s letter to her father, OBJ.
 
Setting the Records Straight

“It brings me no joy to have to write this but since you started this trend of open letters I thought I would follow suit since you don’t listen to anyone anyway. The only way to reach you may be to make the public aware of some things. As a child well brought up by my long-suffering mother in Yoruba tradition, I have been reluctant to tell the truth about you but as it seems you still continue to delude yourself about the kind of person you are and I think for posterity’s sake it is time to set the records straight.

Why Yorubas Are Supporting Jonathan Against Buhari — Gani Adams

OTUNBA Gani Adams is the National Coordinator of the Odua People’s Congress, OPC. In this interview, Adams explains why leaders of South West zone are divided over the choice of presidential candidates to support in the forthcoming elections.

He also bares his mind on the postponement of the general elections among other issues.Excerpts:

How will you react to the INEC’s shift of the elections dates by six weeks?

Well, the shift in dates is as a result of necessities for cogent reasons such as the issues of security and adequate logistics for the exercise. Let me explain these by reminding you of the fact that the shared Permanent Voters’ Card (PVCs) was just 66 per cent while the remaining 34 per cent were still to be given out and that is about 24 million eligible Nigerians. I was so sad with the way the opposition handled the development. I just can’t imagine how comfortable they are that about 24 million Nigerians were to be disenfranchised; as a matter of fact, I won’t even be comfortable with 10,000 Nigerians not to talk of 24 million.

Secondly, the security chiefs declared they couldn’t guarantee security of INEC’s ad-hoc staff. How then will any sane person push for the exercise without the support of security chiefs? For these two cogent reasons, I don’t see us going for free, fair and credible elections. We still have more than three months for the handover of government; there is no need for them to be too anxious more than the umpire.


Moreover, we have 27 political parties and 17 of them have declared that the election should be postponed and eight insisted that it be held, in as much as 17 has indicated interest in the shifting, it simply means majority of Nigerians have spoken.

Obanikoro Sues Sahara Reporters, Premium Times, Punch Newspapers for N1 Billion

Former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro has gone to court to seek redress over a case of defamation of character by online newspapers Sahara Reporters and Premium Times. Joined in the suit are Punch Newspapers Ltd., Omoyele Sowore, Publisher of Sahara Reporters and Festus Owete, General Editor at Premium Times.

The defendants had published an audio recording of Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, purportedly in a conversation with other individuals to rig the Ekiti State gubernatorial elections, an allegation Senator Obanikoro and the others have since disclaimed.

In a suit filed at the Lagos State High Court Ikeja on Tuesday, 10th February 2015, Senator Obanikoro is suing the defendants for damages to the tune of N1 billion. According to the suit filed on his behalf by Dr. Yemi Oke of MJS Partners, Senator Obanikoro is seeking “

1.) An order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants from publishing or causing to be published either directly or indirectly, defamatory, damaging, offensive or degrading statements, articles and/or materials against the claimant.

2.) An order directing the defendant to jointly or severally pay to the claimant the sum of N1 billion being damages for harm caused to his political, professional, business, social and institutional reputation as a result of the defamation by willful and scandalous publication of false statements by the defendants.

3.) An order directing the defendants to retract the false and damaging publication by a letter of apology directed to claimant and published on the same media through which the defamatory publication was circulated and 4.) An order of court for the cost of this suit against the defendants.”

Meanwhile, in a similar development, Senator Obanikoro has hired Tacopina & Seigel one of New York’s top law firms reputed for their groundbreaking defense of celebrity baseball player, Alex Rodriguez in his case against the 211-game doping suspension slammed on him by Major League Baseball (MLB). Tacopina & Seigel is handling Senator Obanikoro’s case against Sahara Reporters in New York, United States of America.

INEC Manipulating PVCs to Favour Buhari, Says Balarabe Musa

A political interest organization, Credible Alternative Alliance (CAA) led by former Kaduna state Governor, Alhaji Abdulkadir Balarabe Musa has alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is tilting the distribution of Permanent Voters Card (PVC) to favour areas believed to be strongholds of All Progressives Congress’ candidate, General Muhammed Buhari.

The group  presented a statistical analysis of the distribution of PVCs which showed the number of registered voters yet to collect their PVCs in various zones.

According to CAA, South-East has (3,287, 530) , South West (7,411,205), South-South (3,844,370) , North-East (2,429,763), North West (4,835,556), North Central (3,907,849) and FCT(421,559).
On the distribution of PVCs, CAA said it has observed “a criminal gross disparity of voter spread designed to tilt the election to a pre-determined outcome.

The group insists that all the 68.8 million registered voters must be given unfettered access to freely collect their PVCs and cast their vote as provided for in the constitution, adding that it would be forced to take INEC to court if that condition was not met.

“Let us call a spade, a spade. There are two main contenders for the Presidency in this election. The analyzed data above depicts a worrying trend. Voters in the zones that tend to support President Goodluck Jonathan are massively disenfranchised by the application of the so-called PVCs debacle, 40% to 50% of voters in the these regions who are lawfully and duly registered to vote will be denied their right to vote by INEC.

“That is nearly half of the support base of the President, simply nullified by administrative (failure) prior to the election. By comparison, the zones that tend to support Buhari are handed a massive voter advantage, nearly 80% of his support base will be allowed to cast their votes by INEC.

In an election, which many say will be won or lost by a slim margin, to now disenfranchise 26million voters through a questionable and unlawful rule by INEC is not acceptable by any measure.

Buhari: Trivializing The Irrelevant




AS Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka put it the other day, ‘this intervention has been provoked, not so much by the ambitions of General Buhari to return to power at the head of a democratic Nigeria, as by declarations of support from directions that leave one totally dumbfounded.’ Nothing best describes the upsurge of vociferous but futile calls for Nigerians to forcefully swallow hook, line and sinker the arrival of a long awaited messiah in Buhari.
 
If political irredentism is a fixation, then we become quite familiar with this journey to perfidy, having travelled along same route in 2003, 2007 and 2011. Familiar in the sense that long before elections hold, celebrations begin that opposition has won. Then comes election day, results are announced and Election Tribunals here we come, etc, etc.

But perhaps this year’s election victory celebrations have never had so much grandiloquent exhibitions as the APC is demonstrating in the current campaigns.

Disqualifications Suits: APC, Buhari to defend Certificate



The All Progressives Congress and its presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, have opposed the orders of a Federal High Court in Abuja, directing that they be served through substituted means‎ in the suit challenging Mr. Buhari’s eligibility to stand for the March 28 presidential poll.

The Judge of a Federal High Court Abuja, Adeniyi Ademola, had in two separate suits challenging Mr. Buhari’s eligibility to contest the election, last week granted ex parte orders permitting the plaintiffs, Chukwunweike Okafor and Max Ozoaka, to serve Mr. Buhari and the APC through newspaper publications.

The court had also granted an order of abridgment of time within which the defendants must respond to the suits.

The lawyers of the two plaintiffs were in court to represent their clients in the separate suits in on Monday.

The electoral empire, Independent National Electoral Commission, was also joined in the suit as defendants.

Counsels to Mr. Buhari and the APC informed the court Monday that they would file applications challenging the competence of the suits and the entire steps taken so far, including the orders of service through substituted means.

NIGERIA’S RICHEST OIL BLOCKS OWNERS EXPOSED: NAMES & DETAILS



The oil block business is so lucrative that Danjuma’s Sapetro divested of its investment in Akpo condensate for $1billion dollars. The business is second to none in Nigeria. That is why any attempt to investigate the activities in this sector will always be futile. The money is so much that they give bribes in millions of dollars. A birthday gift or child naming gift from an oil block owner to a government official could be as paltry as $2million dollars, and if the official’s father died, the condolence gift could reach mere $3 million dollars.

When they want to bribe legislators, it is in millions of dollars and any ongoing investigation ends within weeks. They are so confident that with excess money they can buy up Nigeria and they are succeeding OML 110 with high yield OBE oil fields was given Cavendish Petroleum owned by Alhaji Mai Daribe, the Borno Patriarch in 1996 by Sanni Abacha. OBE oil field has estimated over 500 million barrels of oil. In layman’s language and using average benchmark of $100 dollars per barrel, translates to $50 billion dollars worth of oil reserve. When you remove the taxes, royalties and sundry duties worth about 60% of the reserve payable over time you get about $20billion dollars worth of oil in the hands of a family.

Jega Plots With Northern Elders To Install Buhari, Asked to Resign - Southern Leaders

Leaders from Southern Nigeria in a chilling account have unveiled a plot by INEC chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega to rig in General Muhamnadu Buhari as President in the forthcoming elections. Read the gory details:

TEXT OF PRESS CONFERENCE BY SOUTHERN NIGERIA PEOPLES ASSEMBLY (SNPA) ON THE UNHOLYCONSPIRACY BETWEEN THE INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION (INEC) AND THE NORTHERN ELDERS FORUM (NEF) WITH INTENT TO INSTALL A NORTHERN PRESIDENT THOUGH RIGGING.

Gentlemen of the Press,

On behalf of the Southern Nigeria Peoples Assembly (SNPA) we have invited you to brief you on the subversive, subterranean and dishonorable conspiracy which we discovered to exist between the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), with the sole desire of enthroning a President of Northern extraction at all cost in the February 14, 2015 presidential election.

We authoritatively gathered with unassailable and incontrovertible evidence that the INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, who was away in Lagos for an official engagement, through one of his National Commissioners that represented him, met with select leaders of the Northern Elders Forum led by Prof. Ango Abdullahi on the 20th August, 2014 where strategies and modalities for enthroning a President of Northern extraction through vote rigging were discussed and agreed upon.

Has Buhari Shot Himself In The Foot?



Few weeks ago, it was safe to say that the winner of the February 14 Presidential election was anyone’s guess, bearing in mind that the two frontrunners in the elections were – and still are – neck-and-neck in terms of the number of core supporters they have been able to amass. Both, however, would have – and may still be – banking on the support of millions of undecided eligible Nigerian voters whose minds were yet to be made up on who to support and who not to support.

At some point it all looked like Gen. Buhari and his All Progressives Congress (APC) team would pose a deadly serious threat to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and wreck their chances of returning the incumbent President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to power come May 29. But all the early good works and concerted efforts to win the sympathy and support of the masses, and gain their votes have been undone, almost single-handedly by the party itself.

Few weeks ago, it was safe to say that the winner of the February 14 Presidential election was anyone’s guess, bearing in mind that the two frontrunners in the elections were – and still are – neck-and-neck in terms of the number of core supporters they have been able to amass. Both, however, would have – and may still be – banking on the support of millions of undecided eligible Nigerian voters whose minds were yet to be made up on who to support and who not to support. Unfortunately, it now seems that the bulk of those erstwhile undecided voters are moving further away from the Progressives, if online sentiments and those in the streets are anything to go by.
