We Cant Make You Kogi Governor Elect. APC To Faleke

 

The All Progressives Congress (APC) running mate in the governorship election in Kogi State, Mr. Abiodun Faleke, is not disposed to the party’s choice of Alhaji Yahaya Bello as replacement for the late Prince Abubakar Audu.
Faleke yesterday wrote a second letter to the party’s national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun in apparent reaction to the APC decision to pick Bello to replace Audu ahead of the supplementary election scheduled for this weekend. He insisted that he is not prepared to give up his ‘mandate’ for any reason whatsoever.
He said he is the rightful person to step into the late Audu’s shoes, and pleaded the application of the ‘doctrine of necessity’ used in the crisis that trailed the demise of President Umaru Yar’Adua in 2010.
The letter came on a day supporters of the late Audu took to the streets at Itobe in Ajaokuta Local Government area of the state protesting against Bello’s choice.
The protesters blocked the bridge across River Niger which connects areas in Kogi Central, including Anyingba and Dekina.

David Mark Should Go Home And Rest. Nigerians Speak

The court of Appeal sitting in Markurdi has nullified the election of Senator David Mark.

Granting the applications of the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for Benue South, Mr Donald Onjeh, the Appeal Court ordered that a fresh poll be conducted within 90 days.

Reacting to the news on social media, many Nigerians applauded the decision of the court. See their reasons from their comments below.

One commenter said, Nobody dey even hear him voice for Senate. Is like he became fed up as a senator when his party failed to produce majority, thereby denying him the SP.

Another stated, Good decision from the court. He should go home and rest after 16 years as a senator. It’s time for a younger leader to represent that district in the senate.

Yet another comment, It is high time David Mark hang his boots. l wonder what he will in the coming campaigns be telling his people he would do for them that he failed to do as Senate President for 8 years and his non contribution in the present senate will not help him!

And another, DAYBREAK 2015!
Fellow nairalanders, please join me to celebrate the liberation and emancipation of my people ‘The Idoma nation’ on this day that the cry of the oppressed has been answered in the appellate court.
This is indeed a victory for democracy and a damn of a new day!

I Have Killed Up To 34 Of My Colleagues. Ex-Cultist Confesses

29- year- old Levi Imoter was a notorious cultist for over 10 years.  He  engaged in the worst crimes imaginable, including armed robbery, and operated from Benue, through Bauchi to Borno.    In this encounter, he recounts how    he led many university undergraduates into cultism  and armed robbery; his waterloo during a robbery operation in Maiduguri;  life in prison and  how his death sentence was reversed through divine intervention.    He says he would spend the rest of his life preaching the mercy and love of God through Jesus Christ who delivered him from the jaws of death. He is the brain behind  Renewed Mind Foundation International.
Excerpts:
 How did you begin the journey into cultism?
I was in JS.S 3 in 2002 at the  Federal Government College, Vandeikya, Benue State. At the time I was initiated, I never knew that I was entering into cultism.

Those days, we used to break bounds. We would scale the school fence. I was actually initiated during the period known as “mock extension”, where  JSS 3 and SSS 3 students would  stay back in school. I was initiated by my seniors. They loved me, always took me out and bought me drinks and cigarettes. I was introduced to partying. On one occasion, they took me to a party and, from the venue, somewhere in the bush.

Nigerian Police Take Us As There ATM Machine. Lagos Sex Workers

 Lagos sex workers in Mushin,have cried out over fees being paid to Policemen. Some of the ladies in the illicit profession told a Punch correspondent who visited the area earlier in the week that much of what they earn these days go to policemen who come in weekly to collect compulsory ‘settlements’.

According to a handful that interacted with our correspondent after they were assured their identities won’t be revealed, each lady pays between N7000 and N8000 every week to the leader of the hotel where they ‘hustle’. The fee, they revealed, covers rent for the week and ‘tax’ for the police among other such bills. The pressure of meeting up with such weekly obligation is taking its toll on many of the prostitutes who prospect for clients in Empire.One of the ladies whom our correspondent chatted up at ‘White House’,said

    “Whether you work in a week or not, you must pay the regular dues to the head of the hotel,” . “Each of us who ‘hustle’ here pays N8000 every week to our boss who then ‘settles’ the police from it after removing money for rent and other levies. We are over 15 ‘hustling’ here and if you calculate what the police is making from each of us every week, then you’ll see that they are the ones benefiting from our ‘hard work’. If we fail to ‘settle’ them, they’ll come in to harass and intimidate us.

    “For the eight months that I have worked here, I have seen a lot of things. It is just as if we have become ATMs for the police; we are like a source of income or a money pot for them. Just to meet up with their demand and avoid harassment, most of us now have to work more than we should. It has not been easy in recent times,” she said.

INEC SHOULD INSTANTLY DECLARE WADA WINNER OF THE KOGI POLL. PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare Idris Wada, its candidate at the last inconclusive Kogi state governorship election as the winner, National Mirror reports. The opposition party has therefore dragged the federal government, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and INEC, to court over plans to substitute the candidacy of late Abubakar Audu in the election. The party took this decision after an emergency national caucus meeting in Abuja on Thursday, where the party also argued that the proposed supplementary election would no longer be necessary as APC is not backed by either the constitution or electoral laws to substitute its candidate within the election period.

DECLARE ME KOGI GOVERNOR ELECT NOW. James Faleke

  The running mate to late Abubakar Audu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Saturday’s governorship election in Kogi State, has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to declare him governor elect. James Faleke, in a November 26 letter to INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, insisted that under Section 187 of the 1999 Constitution, he was duly elected as deputy governor of Kogi State. While expressing sadness over the demise of his principal, Abubakar Audu, the deputy governorship candidate said INEC had no right under the law to declare the election inconclusive. He accused INEC of deliberately creating what he called “legal conundrum” and urged the APC not to be a party to the action. “In law and logic, no new candidate can inherit or be a beneficiary of the votes already cast, counted and declared by INEC before that candidate was nominated and purportedly sponsored,” Mr. Faleke wrote through his counsel, Wole Olanipekun. “Assuming without conceding that INEC is even right to order a supplementary election, the votes already cast, counted and declared on Saturday, 25th November 2015, were votes for the joint constitutional ticket of Prince Abubakar Audu and our client.

THE STOP OF BOKO-HARAM IS UNREALISTIC. BUHARI

 Senior military, security and intelligence figures in Nigeria on Thursday questioned President Muhammadu Buhari's December deadline for an end to the Boko Haram conflict, calling it "unrealistic". The Centre for Crisis Communication, a research and advisory body independent of government, said the deadline was "not tenable" given the continued wave of bombings in the northeast. Buhari, who came to power in May, has made crushing the six-year rebellion a priority and in August gave his military commanders until the year-end to defeat the Islamists. But the CCC executive secretary, retired Air Commodore Yusuf Anas, told reporters in Abuja there was a real concern about Boko Haram's persistent targeting of civilian "soft targets". Anas said he was not against imposing targets on the military but added: "It must also be stated that this target date might be unrealistic. "This submission is predicated on the fact that asymmetric warfare which Boko Haram is prosecuting against Nigeria is not such that can be easily stamped out by the armed forces."
