BREAKING: Maiduguri Under Fresh Boko Haram Attack




Gunshots are sounding in Maiduguri Sunday morning as soldiers and Boko Haram terrorists engage in battle over the control of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.



A soldier on the frontline told a PREMIUM TIMES reporter that the insurgents had moved to invade Maiduguri town through a suburb community called Dalwa.

“It is the Boko Haram terrorists we are battling with now as you can hear. They wanted to enter through Dalwa. But we are tackling them”.

The attack is coming a week after the insurgents launched simultaneous attacks on three key Borno towns — Maiduguri, Konguda and Munguno. More to come….

Political Parties Pay Supporters N2,000 Each To Attend Rallies

A percentage of the crowd that turn up at election campaign rallies held by political parties for the forthcoming general elections is rented; investigations by SUNDAY PUNCH has shown.



Each of those contracted for the rallies are paid between N500 and N5,000.



It was learnt that the amount paid depends on the profile of the event, the distance of the venue and the calibre of people engaged.



The ruling Peoples Democratic Party and the major opposition party, All Progressives Congress, as well as other parties has been making claims, especially on social media, that the huge crowd that turn up at their campaigns was a proof of their popularity.



SUNDAY PUNCH, however, learnt that women and youth groups, as well as ‘elders’ are hired in Akwa Ibom, Oyo, Abia,



In Uyo, a member of the PDP, Mr. Eric Ekanem, who spoke to one of our correspondents, said, “If you observe, you will see that those who attend PDP rallies and campaigns are often mobilised at the end of the event, where they are given between N200 and N2000 each.



“The amount each person receives depends on the groups they belong.”



An Eket-based woman, Ms. Ikwo Edet, said she was paid N500 after the last political rally she attended in Uyo.



In Umuahia, Abia State, a source, who begged not to be named, revealed that unemployed youths, students of both secondary and tertiary institutions, tricycle and motorcycle riders, as well as traders form the category of individuals easily rented.



The source said the rent ranges from N500 to N3000, depending on the category of the individual and the importance of the political rally.



Confirming this, a tricycle driver, who identified himself as ‘One Nigeria’, said he did not belong to any political party but was ready to be hired by any party that could pay his charges.



Similalarly in Enugu State, SUNDAY PUNCH learnt that students are a major population hired for political rallies.



A student, who gave his name as Ebuka, told one of our correspondents that he had been part of a rented crowd in several rallies.



He said, “We have link men who are close to the politicians. Whenever the need arises, they usually get in touch with us. We are mobilised through these contact persons.”



It was a similar case in Bayelsa State, where parties reach out to youth and women groups in the local governments area for mobilisation.



A regular participant in such rallies, Ms. Ebilami Victor, who hails from Ekeremor area of the state, said she usually took part in such activity because it was the only way to make money.



“It depends on where the campaign is taking place. If it is within the local government area, each participant is usually paid between N1500 and N2000. But if it is Yenagoa, the state capital, we are paid N3000.



“But when it is outside the state, each person is paid between N2000 and N5000,” she said.



In Oyo State, there is a network through which crowds are gathered for political purposes. The ring is run by a women and men group, it was learnt.



Youths in Ondo State are also having a swell time attending political rallies organised by parties and candidates ahead of the elections.



A party member, who gave his name as Adedeji, who attended a Social Democratic Party rally in Akure, told one of our correspondents that each ‘supporter’ engaged by one of the candidates received N2, 500 to attend the rally.



Another supporter, an unemployed, who identified himself simply as Makinde, told our correspondent that he received N1000 to attend the rally.



In Cross River State, SUNDAY PUNCH learnt that political parties have resorted to contracting the job of hiring crowd to individuals or groups within the party.



Depending on the venue of the rally, the task of mobilising at least 1000 persons spread across the 18 Local Government Areas of the state could cost between N800,000 and N1m.



In the ruling PDP, one of such mobilisers, who preferred not to be named, said his last task of hiring 300 persons to a rally at the central senatorial district cost N1m.



In the case of Edo State, many of the supporters, who are predominantly youths, are sourced from both within the state and from neighbouring states.



A source within the APC said, “You know that there is unemployment and hunger everywhere. They can get N1,500 or N2,000, for transportation or feeding. If you are politically active, you would understand that you don’t have to be a card-carrying member of a party to show your support,” he said.



However, the APC insisted that in its case, crowds at its event venues were genuine Nigerians who were tired of the cluelessness of the PDP-led administration.



The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mr. Lai Mohammed, told SUNDAY PUNCH in an interview in Abuja that it was impossible for the party to hire a crowd for any of its events.



Similarly, the PDP said it did rent crowd or pay those who attend its rallies across the country.



The National Legal Adviser of the PDP, Mr. Victor Kwon, who spoke with one of our correspondent in an interview in Abuja, described anyone making such insinuation as a political novice.

Police Chase Pro-Buhari Supporters Out Of PDP Presidential Rally In Kaduna

operatives on Saturday chased out pro-Buhari supporters at the Kaduna rally for the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan.



The main bowl of the 30,000-capacity Ahmadu Bello Stadium, the venue of the rally, was half-filled. It was the last in the series of North-West rallies scheduled for President Jonathan’s re-election bid.



When the state Governor, Mukhtar Yero, mounted the podium to read his welcome address, as soon as he shouted ‘PDP,’ a large section of the crowd chorused ‘Sai (only) Buhari.’



Also, when the Vice President, Namadi Sambo, shouted ‘Sai Nigeria,’ the crowd responded, ‘Sai Buhari.’



All the personalities that spoke at the rally were greeted with the ‘Sai Buhari’ slogan.



In reaction to the development, security operatives, including combat-ready policemen descended on the crowd in an attempt to chase them out.



As the police kept chasing the pro-Buhari supporters out of the stadium, they kept chanting, ‘Sai Buhari’ intermittently.



They also tore several posters of President Jonathan and his deputy in the stadium.



Not done, the youth outside the stadium reportedly threw pebbles on the convoy of the president after the president had left the stadium at about 3:00pm.



A visibly angry Deputy Governor of the state, Nuhu Bajoga, was spotted by our correspondent at the rally, reprimanding members of the local organising committee at the main bowl of the stadium and asking the committee to “go and bring more people.”



It was gathered that the money for the supporters were allegedly diverted by some officials of the local organising committee.



Reacting to the development, APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Lai Mohammed said, “It shows the popularity of Gen. Buhari. It shows that he is unstoppable.



“Chasing his supporters out of the stadium does not help the President or the PDP. It worsens their case.”



The Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party Board of Trustees, Senator Walid Jibril, however dismissed insinuations of the non-acceptability of President Jonathan in northern states.



Jibril said it was the “quality of the crowd that matters and not hiring of miscreants.”



In his speech, President Jonathan said Kaduna was one of the major beneficiaries of Federal Government policies.



He urged the people of the state to re-elect him in the Febuary 14 election.



He said the state was the focus of the central government in the next four years if elected.



He also promised to revamp the collasped textile mills in the state to create jobs for the teeming youths in the state.



Vice President Sambo had earlier in his speech said the people of the state were highly elated with the President for his choice as running mate in the February polls.



He described Jonathan as patriotic and detribalised and therefore urged the people of the state to vote the party in all the elections.



The Kaduna State Governor, Mukhtar Yero in his welcome address said the state was the stronghold of the party since 1999 and would remain as such.



He thanked the President for transforming the state, especially, the establishment of fast rail service from Abuja to the state to ease transportation problems and the establishment of 30KWT power plant in the state.

Governor Amosun Of Ogun Stoned By TASUED Students As He Ran For Cover

The Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun while on a campaign visit to Tai Solarin University Of Education, Ijebu-ode on Thursday, 29th January was attacked by some angry students of the State-owned university who appeared not to have forgiven him over his numerous attempts to initially scrap the institution.



On his arrival to the institution, TASUED students on campus who became aware of his presence immediately trooped out in large numbers.



Initially, it appeared to the Governor and his campaign team the students had gathered to cheer them.



There was a wind of change when some students hurriedly brought out sachets water (pure water) and in a jiffy, it became a chorused act as other furious students joined in stoning Governor Ibikunle Amosun with various objects they could lay their hands on.



The Governor became ruffled before he was able to run to safety and quickly drove off with his convoy.



Before now, Amosun had been against the existence of the university, giving reason that two state universities were too much for his administration to handle. This led to various protests by students of TASUED, as well as the death of a student leader, Com. Tunji Fashina.



Also, Nigerian Universities Commission, NUC as a result of Amosun’s refusal to adequately fund TASUED delisted courses offered in the university from 48 to 23.



Just recently, Accounting course got delisted as a course in TASUED.



This development has left many students frustrated.



DAILY POST has gathered that TASUED Vice Chancellor, Prof. Oluyemisi Obilade is seen as an accomplice as she remains undisturbed with the various happenings in the school system.

Bruce Jenner's Transition Into a Woman Has Been Confirmed





Bruce Jenner's evolving look has been the source of much speculation. Now comes word that the former Olympian's change is for real and that Bruce's ultimate goal is to live life as a female.

'Bruce is transitioning to a woman,' a family insider confirmed to People. 'He is finally happy and his family is accepting of what he's doing. He's in such a great space. That's why it's the perfect time to do something like this.'


The 65-year-old has been pictured in recent days with manicured nails, smooth legs, longer locks and what appeared to be fuller lips.



The same source revealed that the Kardashian-Jenner family has been allowed time to get used to the idea, and that they're slowly accepting his decision.

'He's being very smart about and also respectful about his transition,' the insider said. 'Instead of completely shocking everyone, his changes have been subtle, and his family has had the chance to slowly get used to his new looks and life.'

'He has come out to those closest to him... He's been through a dark period and is coming out on the other side,' added the insider.






Stranded Arik Air Passengers Shut Down Abuja Airport






Stranded passengers, who were scheduled to travel to Ibadan by Arik Air yesterday, but were left stranded for hours by the airline shut down operations at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, last night.



The aggrieved passengers blocked the boarding gate of the airport and did not allow Arik and other airlines to board passengers to other destinations.





One of the stranded passengers, Saka Waheed, a civil society activist, told Premium Times at about 9:30 P.M that the aborted flight was originally schedule for 3.25pm.



“Later, they came to tell us it had been changed to 4p.m. By 4 o’clock, they said flight would be 7pm. When it was 7, we were directed to enter a bus to take us to the tarmac so that we could board the plane and leave for Ibadan.



“Although we entered the bus, yet the driver later told us to get down. In short, that was the point we were told the flight had been cancelled, after we had spent over four hours at the airport,” Mr. Waheed said.



He said they could not also assess their luggage, which had already been checked in.



He complained that neither airport officials nor Arik Air staff offered them any explanation on why the flight was cancelled and how to get their luggage.



“Because of that treatment, we are not allowing anybody to travel out of Abuja until either airport officials or Arik officials come to address us,” Mr. Waheed said.



Also complaining, another passenger, Tope Oladele, said, “Well, as you can see; these people are very barbaric. They are treating us like animals. Nobody has come to explain what happened. They have left us stranded.”



Both Messrs Waheed and Oladele said there was no official at the Arik stand to attend to passengers’ complaints.



Officials of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria [FAAN] as well as Arik Air’s spokesperson could not be reached for comments as at the time of filing this report at 9:57 P.M.



Passengers said Arik is notorious for arbitrary flight postponement and cancellation and that they are disappointed that aviation authorities have so far failed to call the airline to order.

I Sacrificed My Presidential Ambition For Buhari –Tinubu

A former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Friday said he sacrificed his presidential ambition for the All Progressives Congress candidate, Gen Muhammadu Buhari.



Tinubu stated this while addressing a crowd of APC supporters at the party’s presidential rally in Lagos.



He said Nigeria was facing an economic crisis and an internal war and needed a person with Buhari’s experience because of the General’s reputation of anti-corruption and military warfare.



Tinubu said, “People define patriotism as putting the country first but this is what the ‘Poverty Development Party’ refuses to understand. We chose Buhari not because Bola Tinubu is not interested in the Presidency. I am capable, competent, qualified, younger and richer but there comes a time that people must make sacrifices for their nation.



“I prayed that Nigeria would get better and we would not need a man like him (Buhari). But today, we are in a great crisis; we face a lot of challenges. When South Africa was in a great dilemma and was about to disintegrate, they called Nelson Mandela of 74 years old.



“He used his wisdom to save his country. When the United States was in economic depression, they called 73-year-old Ronald Reagan because he was frugal and incorruptible.



“When America was faced with depression and war, they called a retired General, Dwight Eisenhower, to rescue the country and the country was returned on a path of success. “When France was faced with war and economic depression, they called a retired General, Charles De Gaul, to rescue the country.



Tinubu added that whether Buhari presented a certificate or not, he was still qualified to rule the country.



“So what do we need now? Buhari. This is the time for us. General Buhari, whether you are qualified or not qualified, we are calling you to come and rescue us in Nigeria,” he said.



Also speaking at the rally, the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, said President Goodluck Jonathan had done nothing for the people of the state despite the fact that the President got over 1.2 million votes from the state in 2011.



He said every project that the Federal Government was supposed to have assisted Lagos in executing had been frustrated by the Jonathan administration.



He, therefore, asked the people of the state to vote for the APC at all levels.



Buhari, who was the last person to speak at the rally, said the failure of the PDP-led Federal Government was unprecedented in the history of Nigeria.



Buhari said, “We all know what we have gone through in the past 16 years under the PDP. The APC has identified three core problems that must be tackled immediately. First is insecurity, two is the destruction of the economy and three is corruption.



“But whatever we have to do, we will have to secure Nigeria first. What is happening in the North-East where hundreds of people are being killed is unacceptable. We known that the Nigeria Police and the Nigerian Army are capable of bringing peace and stability into the country but they just need good leadership.”
