FLAWLESS: 26 – 0 ! Fayose Announces That PDP Won All The 26 House Assembly Seats In Ekiti

According to the governor, who paraded
the streets of Ado-Ekiti in celebration of his
party’s victory in the House of Assembly
election as results trickled in Saturday
night, his party’s victory has confirmed
that the people of the state were solidly
behind the PDP:
“We defeated the All Progressives
Congress in all the 16 local governments
in the governorship election last June.
We repeated the same feat by winning in
all the councils during the recent
presidential and National Assembly
elections.
Today the people of the state have
spoken again and voted massively for
our party.
From the results we have from our
agents, we are winning again.
Those who are hitting their heads against
the wall must know that it is God who
enthrones and who has put us in the
saddle this period in time.”

Orji Uzor Kalu Set To Join APC As His Mother And Brothers Defect

Leader of the Reality Organisation in the
South-East and mother of former Abia State
Governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and her
members have officially joined the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Also, former member of the House of
Representatives, Hon Nnanna Uzor Kalu
and ex-Chief of Staff to Governor Theodore
Orji, Mr. Mascot Uzor Kalu, who are
siblings of the former governor joined the
APC.
The decampees were received by the
President-elect, General Mohammadu
Buhari, when he visited Imo State
yesterday to thank the people for voting for
him as well as asking them to also vote for
Governor Rochas Okorocha and APC House
of Assembly candidates in Saturday
elections.
Speaking at a Town Hall meeting in
Owerri, Buhari expressed confidence that
the APC will experience credible polls in
South East and South-South, better than
what happened during the Presidential and
National Assembly elections two weeks
ago.
The President-elect noted that South-East
states have exhibited courage and
commitment and so deserve the system of
change to be brought by the incoming APC
government.
“Okorocha and the governors of Rivers and Edo
have shown courage to the system of APC. The
vote of the people is their strength and if it is
allowed to count, they can vote out a government
that does not meet their expectations and this is
what the APC government stands for,” he said.
While promising to give the South-East
zone a level playing ground in his
administration, he urged the electorates to
vote all the APC governorship candidates
at the weekend’s election.
Present at the event were the National
Chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie-
Oyegun, Senator Chris Ngige, Prince Eze
Madumere, Senator Osita Izunaso, the Imo
State House of Assembly Speaker, Ben
Uwajumogu, among other APC leaders
across the South East.
Meanwhile, speculations are rife that ex-
Governor Kalu may follow his mother and
brothers to join the APC. Daily Sun
gathered that the APC leadership has been
mounting pressure on Kalu to join the
party.
When contacted on this, Kalu said he was
about boarding a plane in London for
Abuja and would not comment.
Orji Uzor Kalu was recently spotted
dancing shoki as the Isiukwuato
community declared total support for his
unsuccessful senatorial race.

I’ll Accept Defeat In Good Faith ─ Jimi Agbaje

The Lagos State governorship candidate of
the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Jimi
Agbaje, says he will accept defeat in good
faith if he loses the election.
Agbaje’s major contender, Mr. Akinwunmi
Ambode, is the governorship candidate of
the ruling party in Lagos, the All
Progressives Congress.
According to the PDP candidate, election
should not be a do-or-die affair.
Agbaje said, “There is no attitude about it
when it comes to offering yourself to serve
the people. If they say they prefer the other
candidate, then you have to accept it in
good faith. That is sportsmanship.”
Agbaje arrived at his polling unit ─ 009
Douala, Apapa ─ around 10am with his
wife, but it took six attempts for the card
reader to recognise his fingerprint.
Speaking on the experience, he said,
“During the last polls, the card reader
worked like magic for me. But today, it was
at the sixth attempt that the card worked.
“But that could be a problem in high
density areas. The process could drag on if
the machines do not work properly.”

Pastor Tunde Bakare Wants Elections Postponed By Six Months

Convener of the Save Nigeria Group (SNG), Pastor
Tunde Bakare has called for the postponement of the
2015 general elections by six months.
Bakare, who spoke, yesterday at his church, the Latter
Rain Assembly, Lagos, in his State of the Nation’s
address with the theme, The Gathering Storm and
Avoidable Shipwreck: How to Avoid Catastrophic
Euroclydon, the former vice presidential candidate of
the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC),
warned of impending dangers for the country, if the
warning signals were ignored.
“I must state that the proposal for suspension of
elections is not with a view to giving the president an
avenue for undue tenure elongation but for the purpose
of building a coalition that will bring lasting solutions to
our problems.
“I have clearly painted a picture of where we are, a
disaster is ahead of us. If the northerner emerges as
winner, whether he has won that election fair and
square or not, people will allege rigging. If Jonathan
wins the election, fair and square, they will allege that
he used his power of incumbency to rig the election,”
Bakare noted.
He said, however, that the only way to avert the storm
was to urgently address some fundamental flaws in the
polity.

NIMC Urges Enrolled Nigerians To Collect ID Cards

The National Identity Management Commission, NIMC,
has advised eligible Nigerians, who enrolled for the
national identity number, to collect their Identity Cards
(ID) at stipulated centres.
Abdul-Hamid Umar, the General Manager, Corporate
Communications of the commission, made the call in
an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos
on Sunday.
According to him, the commission has notified people
who enrolled and whose cards were ready by sending
text messages.
“Many Nigerians have been enrolled in the national
identity data base, though we are far behind the
expectation.
“Nigerians, who have received text messages
personalised to them, giving information that their ID
cards are ready, should come to our centres for
collection”, he said.
He said that the appropriate centres for the collection of
cards had been stipulated in such messages.
Mr. Umar said that there were some Nigerians who had
not come for enrolment in the national identity data-
base.
He said the commission was committed to ensuring
that every eligible Nigerian was enrolled and issued ID
card for identification.
In a separate interview,Titilola Ejiofor, an Assistant
General Manager and Lagos State Coordinator of the
commission, said that the commission had 21
enrolment centres in the state.
According to her, the centres are Lagos State Head
office in Ikeja, Lagos State University, Ikeja Army
Cantonment, Eti-Osa, Ojo, Somolu, Oshodi, Amunwo-
Odofin, Ayobo-Ipaja and Agege Local Government
Secretariat.
Others are FIRS Ikoyi, Lekki Phase I, Bonny Camp,
Nigeria Air-force Base, Ikeja, Lagos State Polytechnic,
Yaba College of Technology and University of Lagos.
Ojo Army Cantonment, NMC Qourra Apapa and Ijele
Campus, Lagos Island are also parts of the centres,
according to her.
Mrs. Ejiofor, who expressed satisfaction over the
turnout of Lagos residents for the exercise, added that
a lot of eligible residents had been captured.
“A lot of people have registered in Lagos and in the
country as a whole. So many people in Lagos have
registered.
“People have been very positive, they come out each
day to be enrolled and we have been given ID cards to
them.
“We are opening more centres in the state, we are not
just going to stop at the current available centres”, she
said.
According to her, a Nigerian of 16 years old and above
can visit any centre with valid means of identification
such as Driver’s Licence, International Passpor,t and
Voter’s Card.
She said documents such as educational certificate,
photo identity from recognised educational institutions,
pension’s photo ID and photo credit cards, among
others, could also be used for enrolment.
Mrs. Ejiofor, therefore, advised Nigerians to come out in
the New Year for enrolment, saying that the registration
would be a continuous exercise.

Buhari: Why I Didn’t Submit My Academic Qualifications To INEC

Former Head of State and Presidential candidate of the
All Progressives Congress in the 2015 general elections,
Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has told the
Independent National Electoral Commission that his
academic qualifications and credentials are with the
military.
This came to light on Monday when journalists visited
the headquarters of INEC in Abuja.
Unlike those of other presidential candidates, whose
academic qualifications were on display including
President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Buhari’s own were
conspicuously missing.
However, the development was better explained in an
affidavit the APC presidential candidate deposed to
before an Abuja High Court.
According to him, all his certificates were with the
Secretary, Military Board. The affidavit was dated
November 24, 2014 and was stamped and received by
INEC on December 18, 2014.
“I am the above-named person and deponent to this
affidavit therein. All my academic qualifications
documents as filled in my presidential form, President
APC/001/2015, are currently with the Secretary, Military
Board as of the time of presenting this affidavit. The
affidavit is made in good faith and for record purpose”,
Buhari stated.

At least 100 dead in Burundi attack by rebel group – military source

At least 100 rebels have been killed after a cross-border
attack against the central African nation of Burundi from the
Democratic Republic of Congo, a top military source told
AFP Sunday.
A general in the Burundian army, speaking on condition that
he not be named, said the attack by the unidentified rebel
group had been defeated after five days of heavy fighting in
the border area north of the capital Bujumbura.
“After five days of non-stop military operations, the armed
group which attacked Burundi has been wiped out by our
security forces. In total, we killed 105 of them and captured
four, out of a total of the 121 who entered Cibitoke province
from the DRCongo,” the general said.
“We also seized a 60mm mortar, five rocket launchers,
machine guns and more than 100 assault rifles,” he said,
adding the Burundian army had lost two soldiers. Other
military sources said around 12 soldiers were killed in the
fighting.
There was no further confirmation of the claim, with army
spokesman Colonel Gaspard Baratuza declining to comment
officially on the fighting “while military operations in the
area are still in progress.”
A previous toll given on Wednesday put the toll at 35 dead,
including 34 rebels and one government soldier.
Burundian officials and witnesses said the group of
unidentified rebels crossed into Burundi overnight Monday
from DRCongo’s eastern Kivu region, a chronically unstable
and resource-rich area that is home to dozens of rebel
groups.
Colonel Baratuza said troops had seized documents
allowing the army to get information on the size of the force
and the identity of their leaders, but he did not disclose the
identity of the group.

- ‘Teach a lesson’ -

Security forces then fought to prevent the rebels from
reaching the Kibira forest, an area used in the past by rebel
groups as a base to stage further attacks inside Burundi.
“The security forces, backed by the local population,
surrounded the group in Murwi commune, and chased them
without respite, giving them no time to recover or sleep,”
said the military source.
Burundi opposition and civil society sources said they had
heard reports of rebels being disarmed and then executed
by shooting or with machetes, with the killings carried out
by the Imbonerakure, a controversial youth wing of
Burundi’s ruling CNDD-FDD party.
The Burundian military denied the allegations, but the senior
source acknowledge the security forces — which included
soldiers back from African Union operations in Somalia —
wanted to “hit the rebels hard” and “teach a lesson” to other
rebel groups.
Previous attacks in Burundi’s border region have been
claimed by a splinter faction of the National Liberation
Forces (FNL). The main body of FNL — a highly disciplined
group notorious for singing hymns as they carried out
attacks — signed a peace deal with the Burundian
government in 2009 and have since become a political
party.
The rebels who still fight on have claimed a string of attacks
in 2014, most recently in October when they claimed to have
killed six soldiers, and vowed to “intensify” their raids ahead
of presidential elections in June. The group, however, have
denied they were behind the latest attack.
Burundi, a small nation in Africa’s Great Lakes region,
emerged in 2006 from a brutal 13-year civil war and its
political climate remains fractious ahead of the elections
when President Pierre Nkurunziza, in power since 2005, is
expected to run for a third term in office despite opponents’
claims that that would violate Burundi’s constitution.

Nigeria will change, when there is individual rebirth

The most common word among Nigerians right now is
“Change”. In every corner in Nigeria, change is the word.
And by extension Nigerians in diaspora are not left out.
They are also “demanding” change, mostly (though) on the
social media platforms.
Some of them are packing their bags and “jetting” to Nigeria
to be part of the change revolution. These patriotic
Nigerians in diaspora argue that you cannot effect change
by being thousands of miles away. They think to be agents
of change, they need to strategically position themselves on
ground in Nigeria rather than be contented with joining the
army of change on social media. They reckon that change
needs more than the “revolutionary posts” some of their
compatriots are churning out on Facebook, Twitter etc.
These set of Nigerians who have put their faith in their
“legs” and decided to relocate home must be praised. The
patriotic instinct in them has been ignited and they believe
they can make an impact in the process. However, I hasten
to say that at the approach of general elections in the
country, some Nigerians in diaspora usually see these as
opportunities to fit in to the “system” they walked away
from some years back. Unfortunately, most of them come
back after these elections with disappointments and
unpleasant stories.
I have often asked myself why majority of them get
frustrated out of Nigeria’s political system. The truth is that
things are done differently in the society they came from
and they soon discover they cannot fit into the peculiar
Nigeria “system” where every “card” is played on ethnicity
and religion.  But it takes a lot of convincing to change the
mind of a determined Diasporan not to go on a fruitless
political journey.
THE CHANGE IS HERE
The “journey” to “change” peaked in Nigeria towards the
end of 2014. The word has literarily replaced the national
anthem. It has also rested (hopefully) the iconic words
“Bring Back Our Girls”. In the last part of 2014, Nigerians
realised there must be a change.  And we have all been
chanting this word and making no progress towards
effecting the real change. The politicians are vociferous
about the change that has to come. The ordinary masses
are in it too, believing this is what can guarantee their basic
meals.
In recent times, especially with the Nigerian situation, I have
come to realise that change has different meanings. It
depends on what side you are. To the politicians shouting
change, what they want is a change in their personal status,
so they can have control of the resources. While the
ordinary Nigerians want a miraculous change that will
create millions of jobs, banish poverty and put nice meals
on their tables.
I love Nigerians. We are a unique people. This uniqueness is
reflected in what we do, and how we realise results. This is
also reflected in our politicians. They are all over the places
chanting change, with no laid down process to achieve this.
A friend of mine during the week lamented that what we are
demanding as a nation is superficial. He argued that for any
meaningful change to happen, the individual psyche must
be “retuned”. Unfortunately, what we want as Nigerians is a
change of government and not a change of individuals.
We ask who are the people who make up the government!
These are individuals and they are Nigerians. If we change
the government and bring in new set of Nigerians, we shall
still be shouting change in a few months’ down the line. It is
the psyche of the ordinary Nigerians that need change, and
not the political grandstanding our leaders are engaged in
now. An ordinary Nigerian believes the government is a
gateway to wealth, so getting into government is a means of
having a comfortable life for himself and his family. Without
a change of this mentality, there is no “change” coming to
Nigeria.
Change does not come in a vacuum, it has to be effected.
And no society can be changed without changing the
individual. The Nigerian has to change himself before the
society can change. And this is the mistake these agents of
change are making. Change cannot be achieved overnight.
It has to be a steady process.
The change campaign is obviously a failure from the
beginning. It is set up to fail because the foundation is
wrong. Our politicians have different reasons for demanding
“change”. Mr A. who lost his political party primaries is
demanding change. Mr B. is demanding change because a
party has been in power for “far too long”. While Mrs C. is
demanding a change because the candidate is not from her
“neck of the woods”. And Chief Z. wants a change because
there are more opportunities for economic patronage from a
particular candidate. While the masses are just confused,
they do not even know what they are supposed to be voting
to change.
The Nigerian case is different in many ways. This is a
country where politicians campaign to win a major election
purely on mudslinging and sentiments. In other climes,
elections are won on the basis of how candidates have
drawn out plans to change the lives of citizens. The 2015
General Elections in Nigeria is just a few weeks away, yet
no manifestoes and the voters do not know what “change”
these candidates are hoping to bring. All we hear is “Time
For Change.”
The United Kingdom General Elections takes place a few
months away too, yet the politicians are already educating
the voters on their plans. On Friday, the ruling Conservative
Party came out with its first campaign ad. It was a simple
yet effective one that highlighted how many jobs it created
and how it halved the country’s deficit. No mention was
made of the opposition parties’ educational qualifications or
religion.
But we are obsessed with change. Will there ever be a
change? Will the education sector ever witness a change?
Will the health sector ever witness a change? Will anything
ever change in the year 2015? Will anything ever change in
Nigeria after the elections? These are questions that are
begging for answers. Unfortunately, none is here.

Nigerians In US Tell Jonathan To Stop Paying Lip Service To Insurgency

Nigerians based in the United States of America, have
charged President Goodluck Jonathan to stop paying lip
service and bring an end to insurgency in the country
by taking more decisive action in this regard before the
general elections.
The Nigerians, speaking under the aegis of Nigeria
Moral Democratic Awareness Council (NMDAC),
however, praised Jonathan for the various electoral
reforms he had initiated in the country, saying this had
“started to manifest in the free and fair governorship
elections in Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and Edo states”.
A statement by NMDAC coordinator, Mr Samuel
Ayodele, and made available to journalists in Ado Ekiti,
the Ekiti State capital on Saturday, condemned what it
said was “the senseless killings and maiming of
innocent Nigerians and expatriates by insurgents in the
North”.
The group said it rejected impunity, violence and
political intolerance before, during and after the
February general elections for Nigeria to be in peace
and remain united.
Describing the body as a non-partisan, but patriotic
group, NMDAC said “We reviewed numerous reports
reaching us across the political spectrum at the end of
year meeting held at Marriot Hotel in Washington D.C
on December 30, 2014.
“We, therefore, resolved that the climate of violence,
counter-violence, intimidation and sheer thuggery may
not give room for any atmosphere of peaceful
coexistence in our dear and sovereign country. The
members concluded that the lack of effective
prosecution of several cases of corruption, lack of
meaningful jobs and insensitivity of our government
have led to several cases of insecurity in the country.
“We condemn various atrocity, murders, mayhem and
intimidation that have been going on unabated on daily
basis in the Northern part of Nigeria for the past few
years. We find it very difficult to believe why the
government does not have the will to confront these
problems and arrest the culprits.
“We also observed that our armed forces are not well
equipped to fight what we consider as the terror war
with the well-equipped Boko Haram sect. To win this
war of attrition, the Federal Government of Nigeria must
do more than paying lips service to it”, it stated.

POLITICS: PDP Accuses Oshiomole Of Spending N142m On Projects Commissioning

The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has accused Governor Adams Oshiomhole of
spending N142million when the All Progressives
Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), and Sen. Bola Tinubu, the
National Leader of the party were in the state to
commission some projects executed by his
administration.
The state chairman of the party, Chief Dan Orbih, made
the allegation at Igboubazuwa, headquarters of Ovia
South West Local Government Area, during a rally
organized to welcome defectors from the APC to the
PDP.
“Governor Oshiomhole sat in his office and signed two
vouchers to commission projects on 28th and 29th
November. In those vouchers, it was written, ‘voucher
to commission projects in Edo State by two eminent
Nigerians, Retired General Muhammadu Buhari and
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’. In those vouchers, the sum of
N76 and N66 million were signed away simply to cut
tapes for projects that had earlier been commissioned.
“How can a government sign away N142 million just for
Buhari and Tinubu to come to cut tape. Never before in
the history of this state had we witnessed this level of
misappropriation of public fund,” Orbih lamented.
Special Adviser to Governor Adams Oshiomhole on
Media Affairs, Prince Kassim Afegbua, in his response,
however described Orbih’s allegation as spurious. “Do
we run Edo State Government in PDP secretariat?” he
queried, adding that “Anybody can cook up memos but
I am not aware that our memos are missing”.
Similarly, State Commissioner for Information, Louis
Odion, described the vouchers paraded by the PDP
Chairman as forged.
“With Comrade Adams Oshiomhole commissioning
world-class projects all over Edo State in the last two
months, we knew PDP would be gnashing their
deformed teeth in envy. But we least expected malice
would push them into forging vouchers to back up a
shameless lie in their evil desperation to tarnish
Oshiomhole’s golden records,” a statement by Odion
read.
“But Edo people are not deceived. They know their
governor is a very prudent man. That is why even
today, whereas PDP-led Federal Government is owing
workers arrears of salaries despite cornering whopping
52 percent of federation account, Edo is not owing
workers.
“The joke is on Edo PDP. With less than six weeks to
the general elections, it is laughable that PDP, rather
than show remorse by first apologising to Edo people
for under-developing the state for 10 years, has
resorted to peddling fake vouchers for a transaction
that exists only in their crooked imagination. It is very
cheap indeed.”
