APC requests probe of Rivers and Akwa Ibom REC for electoral fraud

null

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has requested an electoral fraud investigation against Mrs. Gesila Khan, who is the State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), , and her Akwa Ibom State counterpart, Barr. Austin Eni Okojie.
In a statement signed by APC State Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, and issued in Port Harcourt on Sunday, he described the probe of the two electoral umpires as a bold step which would help to bring sanity to the electoral process.

“The news of the probe ordered by IGP Arase came to us as a big relief. We commend the IGP for this bold step. We have shouted ourselves hoarse since the March 28 and April 11 elections, calling for the investigation of the Rivers REC, a disreputable woman who is supposed to be in jail for the needless pains she has caused Rivers State people by brazenly manipulating the results of the last elections in the State to favour the then-ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidates. The juicy cars and the new lifestyle of this greedy woman must be investigated and the sources of her newfound wealth exposed,” Rivers APC said.

The party crticized Mrs. Khan for the death of hundreds of Rivers people and the imposition of Chief Nyesom Wike, as its Governor.

Rivers APC said

“The final destination of Mrs. Khan should be no other place than the Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison in Lagos and that is where we will make sure she spends the greater part of her years for the shame and pains she has undeservedly inflicted on Rivers State,” the party said.

It vowed to ensure that no stone is left unturned until the Rivers REC is brought to justice, saying:

“Surely, there is no escape route for this evil woman, as we are making arrangements to sue her for the deaths and pains she brought to Rivers State and her people by organising the worst election in the annals of elections in Nigeria

FIFA U20 World cup:Eagles Advance To Round Of Sixteen

null

The Flying Eagles of Nigeria strode confidently into the next round of the on-going FIFA U-20 World cup, beating Hungary 2-0 for their second straight win in group E.

Two goals from Taiwo Awoniyi, one in each half, secured victory for Nigeria and the chance to face Germany in the round of 16.

The first of Awoniyi’s two strikes came in the 33rdminute after a wonderful cross from Sunday Godwin. The striker added another at the start of the second half, finishing a long throw from goalkeeper Enaholo with a wonderful solo effort.

Germany are one of the teams to beat at this tournament having scored 13 goals and conceded just two on their road to the knockout stage.
However, the Flying Eagles will be hoping to cause a major upset when the sides square up in the round of 16.

In the other game in group E, Brazil’s U-20 team beat North Korea U20, 3-0 to top the group and qualify with 9 points.

Meanwhile, the Super Falcons will begin their campaign playing Sweden in Group D in the FIFA Women’s World Cup tomorrow, June 8.

Soyinka Tasks Buhari On Adopting New Strategy To Fight Boko Haram

Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to adopt a new strategy to fight Boko Haram and other insurgents in order to achieve results.

Soyinka said this in a lecture titled, “Science and imagination in a temple of knowledge”, at the third convocation ceremony of Kwara State University, Malete, yesterday.

He noted that Nigerians have not witnessed expected results because the new administration has not adopted new strategies.

He therefore challenged the government to do more to end insecurity in the country, warning that it threatens the continued existence of the temple of learning.

Confusion In Aso Rock’ As Buhari Fails To Move In

One week after the inauguration of Muhammadu Buhari as president and Yemi Osinbajo as vice president, both men are yet to settle into the presidential villa, the country’s seat of power.

Although Goodluck Jonathan, the immediate past president and Namadi Sambo, his deputy, took Buhari and Osinbajo on a familarisation tour of the villa a day before handing over, their successors only hosted the inauguration dinner at Aso Rock and have been operating from different locations ever since.

While Buhari has been performing his duties at the defence house, official residence of the president-elect where he met with service chiefs on Wednesday, Osinbajo has been operating from his private residence in the Asokoro area of Abuja.

Buhari does not reside at the defence house, situated in the Mataima area of the federal capital territory (FCT). He only hosts visitors there, and returns to his private residence at Aso Drive, still in the FCT.

A state house correspondent told TheCable that the current development is affecting a lot of things.

“There is so much confusion at the moment. We don’t go to the villa anymore. The key staff like security, protocol and media have resumed at defence house,” he said.

“We just resume and hope to cover one assignment or the other. It is not a conducive place to hang around because there are not enough seats. Nothing happened at the defence house today (Friday).

“We were told to go to his [Buhari’s] residence at Aso Drive for some assignments only for us to get there to discover that they had finished. We went to the mosque after we left the house and it has been very quiet since then.

“We heard this might continue for another two weeks or more.”

Garba Shehu, senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, said Buhari had yet to move to the villa because his official residence was not ready for habitation.

“As far as the president is concerned, the place (his official residence) is not ready yet,” he told Punch. “Workers are cleaning and refurbishing the place. Once the exercise is completed, the president will move in.”

But some Nigerians have expressed dissatisfaction with Shehu’s response.

“I read what was attributed to Shehu and I shook my head. What do they take us for?” asked Sanya Ladenobi, a businessman based in Lagos.

“Even if we are to believe that the official residence is being rehabilitated, what about the offices? I just don’t see any reason in all this. Could they be carrying out some spiritual cleansing or what, because this is Africa where a lot happen.”

Michael Otobo, a civil servant in Abuja, is of the opinion that the government is not starting on a good note.

“Some people are saying it is too early to make comments about this government without knowing that every minute in the life of any nation counts,” he said.

“This administration had eight weeks for planning, eight solid weeks. For me, I feel the government has hit the ground crawling, as against the running it promised.

“Osinbajo in Sudan, Buhari in Niger, Chad and Germany. International travels would always be there every other day, but your first impression as a government would not be there.

“Five days in our expectant national life, yet no ministers, no economic plan, even the 15 advisers, we don’t know. The government with the largest goodwill in the nation’s history has to sit up.

“We have just been getting different rumours on appointment. Time is of essence.”

President Buhari Leaves Tomorrow For G7 Summit In Germany

President Muhammadu Buhari will leave Nigeria on Sunday morning for Germany.

According to a statement on Saturday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President will be traveling to Germany to attend the G7 Summit that is scheduled to take place in Bavaria from June 7 to 8, 2015.

Shehu said invitation to the summit was extended to Buhari by German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, before he was inaugurated as President on May 29.

“The invitation is a clear indication of the international community’s willingness to cooperate with the new government of Nigeria,” the presidential spokesman said.

He, however, explained that Buhari would not be participating in the main meetings, since Nigeria is not a member of the G7 group.

He added, “He (Buhari) is in a group of seven other Heads of State who were called in as guests.

“He will equally be holding key side meetings with some of the seven Heads of State at the summit.
