"No, I Didn't Announce Ifeanyi Ubah's Result Under Duress" - Returning Officer

The Returning Officer for Anambra South Senatorial election held on Saturday, February 23, 2019, has said that what was being circulated in the social media and reported in some sections of the media about his announcing the Anambra South Senatorial election under duress was a tissue of lies.

In his letter dated Thursday, February 28, 2018, with the caption, “In the Matter of The Anambra South Constituency Senatorial Election Result Declaration”, copied to the Vice Chancellor, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka; and members of the press, Umenweke, a Professor in the Faculty of Law, Nnamdi Azikiwe University said: “My attention has been drawn to the news being circulated in the newspaper, social media and particularly, Punch Newspaper of 27th February 2019, captioned “I DECLARED IFEANYI UBAH WINNER TO SAVE MY LIFE’.

“I never at any point said that I announced the result of the Anambra South senatorial election under duress nor in the mode that is implied by the Punch Newspaper captioned as per above. No gun or knife was pointed at me the material time of the election result announcement”.

The Returning Officer said that any person or group, that feels aggrieved about the election should approach the election tribunal as the constitutionally recognized means for any aggrieved party.

Emphasizing on what could be the basis for the report in the Punch Newspaper, he said, “My letter of 25th February 2019, which was a response to a letter dated 23rd February 2019, written by Chief Sir Chris Uba, the PDP candidate is hereby referred to.

“By virtue of my letter of 25th February 2019, I stated that the result of the election in Anambra South senatorial zone was inconclusive to enable me to debrief the 7 local government collation officers on the issues raised in the petition of 23/02/2019. It was also to enable me to investigate the claim contained therein.

“Within this interval, I have made extensive inquiries and investigations from the seven local government collation officers involved and none received any report from any ward in the form of Form EC 40 G. Consequently, none of them generated any Form EC 40 G1. No reports whatsoever were received by the local government collation officer involved in the Anambra South senatorial election. No such report was given to me. In the light of the above. There is no evidence before me to support the clams of the writer of the petition of 23rd February 2019

“By virtue of the foregoing, I hereby re-affirm my declaration that Chief Ifeanyi Ubah, the candidate of YPP, is the winner of the.

Atiku Was Destined Never To Be President - Oshiomhole

APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, while addressing journalists at the party's national secretariat in Abuja on Thursday, stated that Atiku Abubakar was destined never to be president. He further accused the PDP Presidential candidate of having poor understanding of the voting pattern of the regions, added that Senator Akpabio was rigged out in the Senatorial election which took place in Akwa Ibom State.

Oshiomhole, who accused Atiku of being desperate, said;
"Leadership is about character. Atiku's desperation is so obvious, so desperate that in 2003, he challenged his own boss president Olusegun Obasanjo not to do a second term. And they fought Unclad in Wuse market."

"We have petition that we have written to INEC - how we were rigged out in Akwa Ibom state and it is interesting that it is PDP that is complaining about the outcome of election in Akwa Ibom state.

"How do you explain that INEC cancelled so many units not only in Akwa Ibom state, so many other states in other to be able to declare PDP candidates as winners. That is how senator Akpabio was rigged out in Akwa Ibom state.

"Was he (Atiku) going to rule Nigeria against our wish? Citizens must hold their leaders accountable to their policy choices. Even when he said even if he will die he will sell NNPC many believed that he has collected deposit," he added.

$234 Million Urgently Needed For Food Aid In Zimbabwe —UN

The UN and Zimbabwean authorities on Thursday launched an urgent appeal for $234 million for more than five million people in urgent need of food due to a drought and a weak economy.

The appeal came as UN Humanitarian Affairs chief Mark Lowcock visited the country this week to get a firsthand account of the situation.

The funds are to “provide urgent food, health, water, sanitation, hygiene and protection support for 2.2 million people of the 5.3 million people in need over the next six months,” the United Nations said in a statement, which amounts to about a third of the country’s population.


“In areas across the country, there are acute shortages of essential medicines, and rising food insecurity has heightened the risk of gender-based violence, particularly for women and girls,” it said.

A government document seen by AFP stated that around 7.5 million people in both rural and urban areas will require food aid between February 2019 and March 2010.

“I am releasing 10 million dollars today as a first contribution to the appeal,” Lowcock said during the official launch in Harare.

Lady Sues Father For Not Allowing Her Marry Lover

A 25-year-old woman, Rose Bulus, on Thursday dragged her father, Josiah, to a Shari’a Court sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna State for refusing to allow her to marry a man she loves.

The complainant, who lives in Kaduna Central Area,  told the court that she converted to Islam, to marry the man she chose but her father refused.

“I want the court to compel my father to allow me to marry the man I love and if he refuses, the court should do the needful’’, she prayed.

Josiah, the father of the complainant told the court that he was not aware of his daughter’s relationship with any man and was surprised to see a court sermon.

Josiah  said, “The supposed suitor has never visited me to ask for the hand of my daughter hand in marriage,” he said.

The Judge, Malam Dahiru Lawal after listening to both parties said, “Even though marriage is a union between a man and a woman, parent’s consent is equally needed before the union takes place”.

He ordered the suitor and his people to appear in the court.

He adjourned the matter until March 4 for further hearing.

Senegal's President Also WIns Re-Election

Senegal's President Macky Sall has won a second term, of five years, following Sunday's election.

He took 58% of the vote in the poll in which he faced four challengers, but was accused of preventing some of his main rivals from running.

Two well-known opposition figures were barred from taking part because of corruption convictions.

The opposition candidates have rejected the results, but say a court challenge would be futile.

''Buhari Likely To Dissolve Cabinet Before May 29''

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina has given hints that President Muhammadu might dissolve his cabinet before his inauguration on May 29.

Speaking on Arise Television on Thursday, Adesina assured that, unlike in 2015, Buhari would not spend a long time before choosing his members of his new cabinet.

Asked if the president would reshuffle his cabinet, Adesina replied: “One thing about governance is that the first mandate is for four years.

“That mandate elapses on May 29, and shortly before May 29, the president is likely going to officially dissolve his government. That is the way it is usually done.


“He says thank you to everybody that he has called to work with him and then he dissolves that government officially.

“Then when he is inaugurated for a second time, he now reconstitutes a government; he appoints his personal aides; he forms his cabinet, he appoints other people to fill other positions.”

There has been speculation that President Buhari will reshuffle his cabinet which took him six months to unveil.

"Free Lagos" Press Briefing: Police Storm Venue, Fire Shots

There was tension at the premises of Lagos Airport Hotel in Ikeja, venue of a “Free Lagos” press conference on Thursday. The press conference is being organised by a group known as ‘Orange Movement for a Free Lagos State’ with the theme, “Setting Lagos free from Bourdillon Bondage, #OtogeLagos”.

The conveners of the group comprise of former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olisa Agbakoba, Spokesperson of Afenifere Group, Mr. Yinka Odumakin and Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Why is an APC man joining others to Free Lagos from Tinubu?

While some participants had already seated inside the Oranmiyan Hall where the event was to hold, scores of other participants who stormed the Airport Hotel gate were stopped by a detachment of armed policemen mobilised to the scene.

The policemen did not allow anybody to come inside the hall. In the ensuing drama, policemen fired several shots to disperse the crowd with people running helter-skelter within the premises.

It was not clear while policemen in about 10 vehicles stormed the venue, but sources said the action was to prevent the press conference from holding.

But the state’s police spokesman, Chike Oti, said the command got an intelligence report that some hoodlums were trying to hijack the press briefing.

He said the police cannot stop anybody from using the Airport Hotel facilities being a business environment, adding that the command is also obliged to protect lives and properties of the citizens.

As at the time of filing this report, the participants have vacated the hall and are currently hanging around the premises as the drama continues.

One of the conveners, Comrade Mark Adebayo said they would sue the police for the siege.

"My Husband's Life Is In Danger" - Wife of Atiku's Spokesman Cries Out

Recall that Mr. Austin Usman Okai, Atiku's campaign spokesperson, Kogi state chapter, was abducted by masked gun men on the eve of the presidential and national assembly elections. It is over a week now and the where about of the man is yet unknown.

Speaking to journalists on Thursday, his wife lamented about the nonchalance of elders in the state to intervene and help find her husband and probably rescue him.

The gun men trailed him to his house in Abuja, flashed ID cards believed to be of the DSS.

They would later tell his wife that they were acting on the Kogi state government's order and whisked him away in a van. All efforts to locate the young politician have been fruitless so far.

His friends and family members and a lot of Kogites have launched a #FreeAustinOkai campaign on social media.

"I am so scared and worried about the safety of my husband," Mrs. Bridget Austin Okai said.

Body Cameras Expose How Buhari's Election Was Rigged

Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 presidential election, is confident of victory when he formally institutes an election petition case against President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC)

One major reason for this is the wide-ranging availability of video evidence 

to back up his claims of non-voting, voter intimidation, ballot box snatching and destruction, illegal vote cancellation and deliberate voter disenfranchisement.

Professor Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), declared Buhari the winner of the election at exactly 4:39am after polling APC 15,191,847 votes to Atiku’s 11,262,978.

However, Atiku has already rejected the result, alleging, among others, the suppression of votes in his strongholds — an action he described as “so apparent and amateurish” and one that makes him “ashamed as a Nigerian that such could be allowed to happen”.

He consequently rejected “the result of the February 23, 2019 sham election” and vowed to challenge it in court.

“We’re going to court; that’s the major thing we can do now except we’re looking towards chaos, and nobody wants chaos,” one of his associates, who requested not to be named, told SaharaReporters.

“And again, there’s a lot wrong with the election figures. Cancelled votes in Kano were over 2million; then the difference between accredited voters and actual voters is over 700,000 there as well, which shows there are a lot of discrepancies in the figures. We are still working with some of the documents, and I know that for like three days they’ve been gathering more and more.”

He also said a lot of the claims being made by Atiku and the PDP were backed up by video tapings, as the party prepared in advance for the rigging by sending agents with hidden cameras to the field.

“There are a lot of videos, of course, because there were body cameras on some of the agents that went to the polling units and ward collation centres,” he said.

“Those ones will be tendered as evidence; and there are some other ones I won’t want you to be privy to for now.

“Atiku has set forth to go to the Supreme Court, so he is not even thinking of the tribunal. Of course we’ll start with the tribunal but we know that once the tribunal gives a judgement, the President will definitely appeal against it if the judgement is against him. The game plan Atiku has given us is for the Supreme Court. He is going all out; he is going totally for it. Atiku is not someone that will start something and will stop halfway without seeing it off till the very end. He’s going all out.”
