ILORIN-A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ,Alh Abubakar Kawu Baraje has said that the party will support the Nigerian masses in rejecting any attempt by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led-federal government to foist an interim government on the nation after the expiration of the tenure of President Goodluck Jonathan and that any attempt to postpone the February 14 election would be an invitation to anarchy.

Baraje also a member of the Buhari/Osinbajo campaign organisation, said this in Ilorin, yesterday in a media interactive session on his 64th birthday while reacting to an alleged plot by the PDP to encourage Jonathan into handing over power to an interim head of state to be appointed by him.

He noted that there would be no justification for President Jonathan to hand over to an interim government since there were no indications that the next month’s presidential election will be inconclusive.

He added that,”The masses are determined for the first time to change from bad government to a better government that would fulfil their dream. So I have a lot of hope, a lot of aspiration and I am feeling already very, very confident and hopeful not for myself but for the masses that are so determined.”

“A lot of things are wrong not only with the party but there is bad governance as being shown by the executive and the leadership of the PDP. And when we saw it, we made efforts to make amends, the amend was not forthcoming and then we decided that before Nigerians start blaming us for the offences that we never had a hand in it, for the offences we never committed, we opted out for a better political party”.

Come February 14,there would be a change of government for better, there would be a change of leadership in Nigeria for better, there would be a change in the orientation of Nigeria for better, there would be fulfilment of hope and aspiration of the masses in Nigeria.

He also declared that any attempt to postpone the February 14 election would be an invitation to anarchy, saying the APC is fully ready for the election and it would resist any plot from any quarters to scuttle it.

Baraje who passed vote of confident on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), said that the commission has been very fair in its handling of the electoral process so far, adding that “INEC has for the umpteen time assured Nigerians of its readiness for the February 14 elections”.

His words, “those of us in APC are quite happy with what INEC is doing and as far as we are concerned we are ready for election and we have shouted to the whole world that any attempt to change that date, to postpone the election is calling for anarchy and we do not approve of anarchy, we would never support confusion.

He also commended INEC for extending deadline for collection of permanent voters’ card (PVC), noting the temporary voters’ card should be done away with because it is outdated.

All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (ret), who is afraid of debate yesterday, unfolded his plans on how to revive the Nigerian economy before the Organised Private Sector, OPS, in Lagos, asserting that tackling corruption and insecurity were key elements to the plan.

At the meeting, entitled, ‘GMB Means Business,” Buhari put privatisation of the transmission companies, construction of inter-state roads, revival of local refinery production, among other schemes, to boost job growth in the economy.

Buhari, nevertheless asserted that whatever plans aimed at reviving the economy could only yield fruit if corruption and the spate of insecurity in the country are frontally tackled. He said that an opinion poll conducted prior to the production of the manifesto of the APC showed that majority of Nigerians put insecurity, corruption and the economy as their major priorities.

Giving his plans on how roads reconstruction could revive jobs, he said: “We will concentrate on the roads and highways that link up Nigerian states, while state governments will be expected to connect their states to these highways by building the last mile connections.

“Road construction alone will unlock a value chain of opportunities in the building industry for construction companies, builders, engineers, architects, quarry operators, cement and iron rod production and supply.

“The successful opening up of Nigeria by the construction of new roads and highways will revive road transportation, truck manufacture, tyre manufacture, engine oil, brake pad productions on one hand.

“It will also create a demand for jobs for mechanics, drivers and those engaged in transport support business. We expect a revival of all the inter-state economies that used to thrive across Nigeria, providing support to travellers by way of canteens, restaurants, farm produce, etc.”

Noting the cost of corruption to the economy, the presidential candidate cited issues with the unresolved $20 billion allegedly missing funds from crude receipts.
He said: “Corruption affects our ability to secure ourselves, and it also undermines the performance of the economy.

“This current government is being challenged to account for an estimated $20 billion and the whole country is awaiting a report of a forensic audit. $20 Billion at N210 to $1.00 is equal to N4.2 trillion – nearly a year’s federal budget.

“If it is true that this sum cannot be accounted for, this is grossest form of corruption. Just think at N5 million per vehicle, this money would have bought 840,000 patrol vehicles; (this would have improved security in every town and village in the country)

“At N13.5 million for a high capacity bus this money would have bought 311,000 buses; (this would have revolutionised the transport and production side of the economy)
“From information at my disposal, Lekki Bridge in Lagos cost N29 billion to construct. N4.2 trillion would have built 145 Lekki bridges; (this would have revolutionised transport, infrastructure, construction, employment in the economy)

“If the average cost of generating one mega watt of power is about US $1.5 million (excluding gas and distribution costs), $20 billion would have bought  over 13,333 mega watts of power. What a difference that would make up and down the country!

“If you also factor the N2.2 trillion spent on subsidising fuel import which became a huge scandal, you may then understand why our manifesto focuses on the issues of security, corruption and the economy.

“We are too vulnerable as a nation at this moment if we have to import fuel to move our planes, our tanks and our men. We are too vulnerable as you can see that we also have to import arms. We are vulnerable because our troops also depend on imported food.”

Buhari was escorted to the meeting by Governor Babatunde Fashola, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, national chairman of the APC;  Governor Rotimi Amaechi, director general of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation;  Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, APC governorship candidate in Kaduna State,  among others.

ILORIN-Chairman, Senate Committee on Environment and Ecology, Dr. Bukola Saraki disclosed yesterday that President Goodluck Jonathan lied during last monnday campaign to kwara that his administration was responsible for funding a multi-million naira dam in Malete, Moro local government area of the state.

Jonathan had during his campaign visit to Ilorin, the state capital, mentioned the project as one of the contributions of his administration to the state.

Similarly,Minister of National Palnning, Dr. Sulaiman Abubaka had also at a meeting with newsmen later in the day listed the dam project as one of the various projects sponsored by the federal government in the state.

Malete,in Moro local government was where Senato‎r Bukola Saraki located the Kwara state university while he was the governor hence to him,it was a pay back time.

‎The fomer governor and APC leader in the state had insisted that the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan has not done anything for Kwara in six years.

Saraki, while addressing supporters of the All Progressive Congress (APC) at Malete yesterday hinted that funding for the said Dam project was from the constituency allowance of federal lawmakers from the state with the exception of Senator Simon Ajibola whom he claimed refused to contribute to the project.

Vanguard reliably gathered that Saraki from Kwara central and senator Sha’ba Lafiagi from Kwara north contributed N125 million each while each of the six members of the House of Representatives contributed N62.5 million into the project.

His words, “I was amused the other day when President Jonathan came to Ilorin and he said they have given you dam in Malete. I laughed because I know that money for that project was from our constituency project. Each of us who are senators was supposed to contribute our constituency allowance just like the House of Reps members.

“We held a meeting, nine of us from the state on the project but senator Ajibola refused to put down his own money. He never foresaw that he would one day need you but today he is coming to ask you to vote him as governor. Would you vote for someone who refused to contribute to your wellbeing; a project that is meant to provide water for your community and the entire local government?”

The senator harped that it was his administration that brought the state university, KWASU, to the community because of his love for the residents and which has brought tremendous transformation to the area.

He urged the people to reciprocate his good gestures to them and vote for all the APC candidates and assured them of more presence of federal government projects under the incoming administration of General Muhammadu Buhari.

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), retired Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday said he would take practical steps to strengthen Nigeria’s economy if elected. Buhari made the pledge during a meeting with members of the Organised Private Sector at the Lagos State Government House, Marina, in Lagos.

Reports showed that the meeting, tagged “GMD Means Business”, was to articulate Buhari’s economic plans for the nation.
Apart from leading businessmen that were at the meeting, top APC chieftains including the National Chairman, Chief Odigie Oyegun, Gov. Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers and Gov. Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, also attended the forum. Others were former Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, and former Ekiti State governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi.
Buhari said he would design economic policies tailored toward promoting the country’s prosperity and creating jobs. “Our economic plans will be practical and our policies for implementing our commitments will be governed by the highest consideration of how they create jobs,” he said.
Giving a breakdown of his plans, the APC candidate said he would create the enabling environment for industrialisation to thrive. He said he would revive the textile mills and similar industries that once produced thousands of jobs for Nigerians.
Buhari added that he would invest massively in infrastructure and open up opportunities through the construction of highways linking all parts of the country.
“Road construction alone will unlock a value chain of opportunities in the building industry for construction companies, builders, cement and iron rod production and supply. “The successful opening up of Nigeria by the construction of new roads and highways will revive road transportation, trucks manufacturing and others on one hand.
“It will also create a demand for jobs for mechanics, drivers and those engaged in transport support businesses,” he said.
Buhari also said he planned to pursue efforts that would support the building of local refineries for jobs creation and economic growth.
He said he was in support of the Power Reforms but that he would do more to improve power generation. “We agree with the privatisation of the power utilities but we believe it must go further to transmission. “After the signing and hand-over ceremonies of the power assets, the real work of producing, transmitting and distributing power is really just beginning.
“The reason why the success seems elusive is that apart from the signing ceremony and handing over of the power assets, the hard work to connect the various parts of the power chain, supply gas, install transformers, complete substations has not been done. “Studies show that we will require no less than 200,000 trained personnel to support the initiative to provide power and light up Nigeria.
“Apart from the inherent direct employment that this will bring, the reduction in cost of production, it would also reduce the burden of Nigerians who spend a lot to generate their electricity,” he said. The retired general said he would promote investment in agriculture to boost food sufficiency and jobs creation. The APC candidate urged Nigerians to invest their trust in him, saying he would improve on the country’s economy if elected.

As you know, I have commenced rigorous political campaign in my quest to serve the good people of Rivers state as the next governor.  I have been travelling around the length and breadth of our rich and beautiful land and at each stop have received overwhelming welcome and embrace. I have felt and shared that spirit of expectation and hope expressed by the people as we match together from street to street, palace to palace and from community to community.  I will remain ever grateful to you all for your support and confidence in me.

In all my years as a public servant I have pursued my endeavours on the pillars of truth, transparency, social justice and equity. I have always considered the people my first constituency as I discharged my responsibilities with humility, accountability and fear of God.

As I embark on this journey and race to become your governor, to take our people to the next level from possibilities to greatness building on the indelible legacies of Governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, I am convinced of the strong desire of you to see further development in an environment of peace, security, stability and opportunity.

I am not driven by the pomp and perks of office, or the gains or accolades that may accrue to me in office. Instead, I am driven by service. Service to my people, service to the elderly long forgotten, service to the fishermen whose rivers and creeks have been so polluted that they have to look for jobs in their old age, for the motherless cast off at the dump, for the youth with vision and talents but without structure to fulfil his dreams, for the single mum in the village without a support system to help her care for her children or rise again to pursue her dreams, service to our employable youths, to rescue them from idleness, despair and violence.

I am driven by the desire to give the professionals and businessmen a sense of belonging and an enabling environment to ply their trade and flourish; to create quality employment for our teeming youths and to empower our local businesses to grow; to deliver world class health services, quality education and vocational training to our young ones in a bid to providing them a sound foundation to secure their future and for the good people of Rivers State.

This drive is borne out of my core value base moored in the eternal doctrine and principle of leadership “praesis ut prosis ne ut imperes” – lead in order to serve, not in order to rule. I am your servant. I work for you and with you to make Rivers State a great state. I entreat you to share with me my vision of Rivers State: “to Create A Prosperous State Anchored On The Development of A Well Diversified Local Economy That Will Expand Economic Opportunities Through Wealth Creation, Employment Generation, Social Entrepreneurship & Values Re-orientation And Rapidly Uplift The Standard Of Living Of Rivers People in A Secure and Harmonious Environment of Equal & Boundless Opportunities.”
 

This vision for a greater Rivers State is hinged on four pillars as espoused in Our Roadmap to Prosperity, namely, Public Sector Accountability and Security of lives and Property, Employment Generation and Wealth Creation, Social and Human Capital Development and Empowerment, Institutional and Physical Infrastructural Development and Food Security.  This is further broken into twenty eight sub sections detailing measures and steps we will employ to deliver top notch services and enhance the living standards of our people.
 
I implore you to read Our Road to Prosperity document. You will see my pledge and social contract with you to make Rivers State a great state. I beg you to acquaint yourself with the content and see ways you can work with me to actualise them. Hold me to account when in office if I deviate from this social contract.

Rivers State is our one and only state. It behoves us to bequeath greatness to posterity. That journey to greatness starts with you. Your choice on 28th of February will either set us on that part or take us backwards. It is said that a people deserve the leadership they get. 

The choice is yours and you alone have the power to cause change and progress to happen. It is in your vote and I therefore invite you to key into our vision for a greater, stronger, prosperous Rivers State.  Vote for the APC, vote for change you can see, feel and participate in.  Vote out the old order and vote in a new order of peace, security, equal opportunities and prosperity for everyone.
 
Your brother,

Dakuku Adol Peterside, PhD

Shocking News bits reaching us this morning at FNN HQ are suggesting that just mere days before the February 14 General Elections, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Alhaji Attahiru Jega, has allegedly tendered resignation in a letter to President Goodluck Jonathan.

In a letter which somehow found its way to our email this morning, the INEC Chairman cited Partisan Politics, twitter threats and a host of other factors as reasons behind his letter.

Below is the letter we received:

Your Excellency,

It is with a deep sense of regret that I herewith tender my resignation from my post as Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission. Definitely, questions will be asked as regards the timing of my a resignation

A group, Concerned Northern Youths Forum (CNYF), has thrown its weight behind the candidacy of President Goodluck Jonathan and condemned the purported endorsement of General Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by Northern Elders Forum (NEF). The group described the decision as untenable and a mere fiction of their imagination, which does not represent the general feelings and opinions of the majority of northerners.

Addressing a press conference in Bauchi at the weekend, the  CNYF’s National Chairman, AlKasim Charanchi, assured President Jonathan and his running mate. Namadi Sambo of substantial votes of the northerners and that his forum has mobilised its members across the 19 northern states to vote for the PDP from top to bottom.

According to him, “We totally condemn the recent support of the NEF for the presidential candidature of Buhari of the APC in the forthcoming election. We view the so-called support as not only partisan but against the collective interest of the whole North.”

He said their decision to condemn the NEF’s position is because the elders’ standpoint was not in tandem with the collective resolve of the north and advised them to be neural as elders and not bias in taking decision concerning the future of the North.

Charanchi said: “As elders, we expect that the NEF would look far ahead and plan accordingly. The North already has a vice-president in the person of Alhaji Namadi Sambo and allowing President Jonathan to have a second slot at the presidency means giving the North an automatic ticket for the presidency in 2019.”

He said the achievements of President Jonathan’s administration in the North is unprecedented and was enough for the NEF to canvass support for Jonathan in the February polls rather than ganging up with retrogressives group to work against the return of Jonathan alleging that the elders are championing a clandestine motive that was not known to the youth.

Though, he said, they were not holding brief for President Jonathan and that the ‘pull-him-down’ attitude adopted by the elders does not augur well for the unity and cohesiveness of Nigeria as an entity saying that in line with the PDP zoning arrangement, the presidency would be ceded to the region in 2019 and any plan to scuttle this cannot be said to be in the interest of the North.

According to him, “As a body of elders which seeks the collective interest of the North, we should have thought that the NEF would be neutral and not single out a candidate for its support because our votes alone cannot ensure the emergence of a President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We need the support of other parts of the country to produce a president, we need a national president, not a regional leader.”

He condemned the elders for travelling from one state to another begging governors for money to fund Buhari’s campaign and their collusion with some officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure Buhari’s victory at all cost in the next month’s election.

Charanchi said: “This it has done by purchasing computers to ensure that as many voters as possible were captured in the recent Continuous Voter Registration in the APC strongholds with the view to giving Buhari candidacy an undue advantage, in their now-or-never attitude of installing President of Nigeria come February 14.”

He accused the elders of making the insurgency problem as their major campaign issue against President Jonathan, saying Jonathan has done the needful in curbing the menace of insurgents by deploying troops to the troubled North-east region but called on every well meaning northerner to cooperate Jonathan in combating the insurgency.

Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and governorship candidate of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State, Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai, at the weekend urged his supporters to shun violence no matter the level of provocation.

Addressing thousands of party members and supporters at the weekend in  Gwantu, headquarters of Sanga Local Government Area in the southern senatorial zone  of Kaduna State, he  cautioned his supporters against insulting or fighting anybody, saying that the only weapon to fight for change is their voters’ cards.

“I am passionately appealing to you not to abuse anybody, don’t fight anybody, if somebody looks for your trouble, run away, we are not trouble makers. If anybody slaps you, don’t retaliate, turn the other cheek for him, avoid anything that will lead to violence.

“Your greatest weapon in the struggle for change in Kaduna State and Nigeria is your voters’ card and this change can only be possible if you have your voters’ card,” El-Rufai told the crowd.

The former minister who noted the persistent killings in the southern part of the state, especially in Sanga Local Government Area, decried the level of insecurity in the state and declared that his administration will ensure security of lives and property if elected.

“If you vote APC, we will provide good roads, good schools, good hospitals and improve the quality of lives of our people. But the first step you must take is to ensure that you collect your voters’ card, ‎because it is with the voters’ card that we can demolish PDP.

“If you vote us, there would be change and we will bring an end to the killing of our brothers in southern Kaduna and Birnin Gwari,  by arresting the perpetrators and bringing them to justice,” he said.

Also speaking during the rally, chairman of the El-Rufai Campaign Organization and the APC senatorial candidate in Kaduna North senatorial zone, Alhaji Suleiman Hunkuyi, accused the Kaduna State government for allegedly abandoning the projects initiated by the late governor of the state, Mr. Patrick Yakowa, in southern Kaduna.

Hunkuyi noted that despite the support the southern Kaduna people had given the PDP since 1999, there was nothing to show for it, maintaining that the southern Kaduna people have no reason to continue to support the PDP.

“All the projects that were initiated by the late Yakowa in southern Kaduna have been abandoned by the present government. There is no basis for the southern Kaduna people to continue support the PDP because there is nothing to show for the support they had given the party since 1999.

“When the southern Kaduna people came up with a consensus candidate during the PDP governorship primaries, they manipulated the process and claimed that the man got only one vote, how could this be? Hunkuyi alleged.

He further accused Governor Mukhtar Yero for allegedly not visiting victims of the persistent attacks in the southern part of the state to condole with them, declaring that apart from the alleged dismal performance of the governor since he came on board, he (Yero) has no moral justification to seek for the support of people he never showed concern for in their trying moments.
