Elections May Not Hold In North East – Jega

Image
The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Professor Attahiru Jega, on Monday said unless there is a significant improvement in the security situation in the northeast, next month’s general elections may not take place in the area. “A place like Borno State, unless something is done about those that have been displaced, even return for the governorship might be difficult, if not impossible under the circumstances. To be realistic, we must say that it may be impossible to do elections in everywhere, in every local government, in every constituency in those three states” he said, while speaking at a forum in Abuja, organised by the African Policy Research Institute. He however pointed out that the commission is working hard to limit the number of Nigerians that may be disenfranchised as a result of the insurgency. He announced that the commission has made adequate plans for internally displaced persons to vote in designated areas in the north east. “Firs

Pastor Ashimolowo Speaks About Nigeria’s Next President & What Boko Haram Really Is

Image
Matthew Ashimolowo the Senior Pastor of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC) in London in an interview with The Sun spoke about the country’s next presidential election and what Boko Haram really is. We are in the New Year. Nigerians would like to know what God is saying to us as a country. Do you have a mes­sage for Nigerians? Very interesting. I believe that globally, there is going to be a shaking of the world. There will be earthquakes in some places. There might be famine in places they never knew famine, and flooding in places they didn’t expect. For Nigeria, the Lord showed me, who will win the election. I will not mention his name, because I have to be politically neutral. But when the president’s name is announced, 20 percent of a certain part of the nation will not agree. Eventually, after negotiation they will. We will agree that we’re one. Wales is only 400,000 people or about a million people. They call them a nation, and they call Yorubas who

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi insists he does not want to leave and says reports he demanded coach Luis Enrique should be sacked are "lies". It was reported the 27-year-old wanted to leave after a row with Enrique. "I have no intentions of leaving for any team, not Chelsea nor Manchester City," he said, after inspiring a 3-1 victory over Atletico Madrid. "I'm tired of all the things that people have been saying. I didn't ask the club to fire anyone." Messi, who will find out on Monday if he has won a fifth Ballon d'Or, has spent his entire career at the Nou Camp, winning a host of team and individual honours since making his debut in 2004. Messi hits back "People make it out as if I run the club and that's not how it is. I don't ask anyone to make decisions. Everything that has been said is lies and I want people to know that. Everything that has been said is false." It had been suggested Barcelona's record goals

Barring any last minute change in plan, President Goodluck Jonathan will on Monday (today), visit former President Olusegun Obasanjo in his Abeokuta, Ogun State residence. The meeting will come less than 48hours after Obasanjo made a surprise appearance at the wedding service of Jonathan’s foster daughter, Inebharapu, at the National Christian Centre, Abuja. Obasanjo and Jonathan have not been seen together in public events lately, especially since the public presentation of his book, My Watch, which is critical of the President among others. The former President had last Monday said Nigeria was facing economic problems due to the failure of the present administration to plan for a rainy day. He told eminent women leaders from the South-West, who visited him at his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State, that the nation’s reserves which as of 2007 stood at $67bn had been depleted by the Federal Government. Our correspondent learnt on Sunday that Jonathan would use t

All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari , ( retd .), on Saturday cautioned that Nigeria would be in trouble if the Peoples Democratic Party wins the 2015 elections. Buhari said this while addressing a campaign rally at the Michael Okpara Square in Enugu. He told the gathering that it would be a mistake if they failed to vote out the PDP. “If you make a mistake to allow the PDP to rule again for the next four years, we will all be in trouble,” Buhari said. He stressed the need for people to collect their Permanent Voter Cards in order to ensure that the PDP was voted out. “What we need from you is to make sure that you get your PVCs,” he said. Buhari added that “if Nigeria don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria.” Promising to invest in agriculture, industries and security, the APC presidential candidate distanced Islam from the activities of the Boko Haram sect. According to him, the insurgency in parts of the North is a case
