The Presidential candidate of the National Conscience Party, Mr. Martin Onovo, tells GBENRO ADEOYE about his political aspiration and why he is confident of winning the February presidential election..He told Punch I am obviously the most prepared candidate as you can see from our vision. We have witnessed misgovernance in Nigeria. We have identified with Prof. Chinua Achebe, Prof. Wole Soyinka, the Hon. Justice Muhammed Uwaiz , Prof. Ben Nwabueze , and so on. We have the solution to Nigeria’s problems. But some people say the contest is between President Goodluck Jonathan and Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and that other aspirants like yourself are only adding up to the number. We think differently. The majority of Nigerians see the two candidates as the problems with the country. Their parties have been indicted for rigging elections in the past. They have brazenly violated Section 91 of the Electoral Act on election finance. They both deploy slush funds. Jonathan, global

Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State has alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan is not preparing for a free and fair elections. The governor, in a telephone interview with our correspondent in Abuja on Saturday, said that it was unfortunate that the President was preaching one thing but busy doing another.

The currency had exchange for between N188 and N191 on the streets of Lagos and other key cities on Wednesday and Thursday morning, dealers said. The latest fall in the naira’s value came less than two months after the Central Bank of Nigeria was forced to devalue the local currency by eight per cent from 155 to 168 against the dollar following the continued decline in the prices of crude oil in the international market.

His previous visit was to the soldiers serving in the state in commemoration with the Armed Forces Remembrance Day. The President had severely been criticised in recent times for not visiting the crisis-torn North-East. Saturday PUNCH learnt that the President would unfold plans to tackle the Boko Haram militant sect during his campaign in the state. Meanwhile, the governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, on Friday appealed to his supporters and all citizens of the state not to show any form of disrespect to the President and his entourage during the campaign visit. Shettima made the call in a statement by his media aide, Mallam Isa Gusau.
